You might have already heard this, but try Gordian Knot. I would recommend their self-titled album. It is an instrumental Progressive Metal band containing members of Cynic amongst other bands (such as John Myung from Dream theater playing Chapman's stick).

Source: http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=114733 This really sucks. The Cold White Light was one of my first metal albums, and this guy was a really good guitarist. R.I.P. This pretty much ends any hope of a Sentenced reunion, obviously. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the band, they were one of the founders of melodic death metal along with In Flames, At the Gates, and Dark Tranquility before eventually gaining a new singer and becoming more of a traditional heavy metal band.

Only good bands there are Thrice and Underoath. Also...A Day to Remember? 3OH!3? BROKENCYDE? Gross...

Centinex - Decadence - Prophecies of Cosmic Chaos (album) Pretty solid death metal. It isn't really as cheesy as the album title would lead one to think, and recommended to fans of the genre.

Thanks, I'll check them out. You probably would enjoy Arghoslent. They are a really great melodeath band that are self declared "riff supremacists," and for good reason. The only problem you may have with them is their lyrics, which are rather racist, but the music is so good that it is passable. Try their album Hornets of the Pogrom.

I know I just recommended them to necro a few posts up, but I really think you would like The Gaslight Anthem as well. I have a link to one of their songs up there. Their album The '59 Sound is quite great.

You would probably like . They are a really good rock band that is very Bruce Springsteen influenced. I haven't met anyone who dislikes them, but if you do, pm me and I can look for something else.

Yeah, mewithoutYou is pretty amazing, though I have only heard Brother, Sister. I'll check that album out though. I'm really excited for their new one in April. Still listening to Solstafir - Kold (album)

A Day to Remember - "Mr. Highway's Thinking About The End" lol, this is pretty awful. "DISRESPECT YOUR SURROUNDINGS!" Must be one of the worst breakdown lines ever, and the vocals sound like Atreyu. Yuck. Not going to bother wth this band. Turning that off, switching to Solstafir - Kold (album) Pretty freaking awesome Post-metal.

maudlin of the Well - Bath (album)

What.The.Hell? (Personally,Jukka's pretty great) ?....why? ...he said hard rock...some of slipknot is hard rock Slipknot is pretty awful though, and Joey Jordison is incredibly overrated. If you like Pendulum, you might like Infected Mushroom. try their song "Cities of the Future." I really don't know any bands similar to The Butterfly Effect aside from Muse, and you probably listen to them already, but if you don't, definitely try them. As it seems like you like Alternative Rock, try listening to .

Hooray for death metal day! I hope progressive death counts... Death - The Sound of Perseverance (album)

I normally prefer full albums, though there are times when I feel like listening to individual songs. It really depends on the occasion. I hate compilations for the most part as well. I also prefer physical CDs for downloads, but I can't afford to buy anywhere close to as much as I download, so I normally end up buying only when I can't find something elsewhere, as much as I hate doing it.

I'm going to laser tag with a bunch of (also single) friends because no one else will be playing laser tag then.

Try those that Jaerk mentioned as well as Hallucinogen's Twisted and, if you think you would like techno-influenced industrial, try Combichrist (Their new album Tonight We Are All Demons i really good).

He'd care because she broke up with him, he didn't break up with her, implying that he still obviously has strong feelings for her if he didn't break up with her, give him at least 3 weeks or so. I doubt she'll go out with me anyway, this is all hypothetical. Well she won't with that kind of attitude about it. I don't understand why you are against asking him.

For some good jazz, perhaps try John Zorn? His album Naked City is the only jazz album I've found that I like (though I haven't really looked to far), though i wouldn't class it as strictly jazz; there are a lot of different genres involved, even grindcore.

As far as Power metal goes, I'd say try Imaginations From the Other Side by Blind Guardian or Burnt Offerings by Iced Earth. Also, try the album Reckoning Night by Sonata Arctica, and Once and Oceanborn by Nightwish. Though, Once probably isn't really power metal any more... While Power Metal is inherently cheesy, those bands don't go singing about riding dragons and flying unicorns like crap like DragonForce and Rhapsody of Fire. As far as the topic goes, I have problems listening to things without clear production for the most part, unless it is black metal, in which case I can stand down to about Burzum level sound quality. Also, I have problems listening to music when I don't like the vocalist, though I can stand pretty crappy ones like Billy Corgan and James LaBrie. Oh, and mathcore/math rock annoys the crap out of me aside from The Fall of Troy. Am I the only person who actually really likes James LaBrie? I used to like him when I was a Dream theater fanboy, but I've moved on to a lot of better things since them and I realize his voice really isn't that special and doesn't really work with most of their songs, imo. Seeing them live really didn't help, his vocals live are especially bad.

Alright, I'm going to be seeing these guys opening for Opeth in may, so i figured I should start listening to them now. I wanted to know, do any of you listen to them? Are they worthwhile? What albums should I start with? Thank you.

Edge of Sanity - "Crimson"

Right now I think I'm going to be seeing Animal Collective then Opeth with Enslaved within a week of each other in May.

Sublime - Sublime (album)

Oh, you definitely weren't trying to offend anyone there. The point that everyone is trying to make is not that we listen to more types of metal than death metal, but rather most of the bands of these lists aren't metal at all. Though I admit, mine is probably about half metal, many of the other metalheads here, if you actually look through their lists, have tons of stuff that isn't metal (see Nadril's and Silversword's lists, for example. Though I certainly wouldn't have said anything like Silversword did, I really think that you could find yourself liking some of these nonmetal bands. It's fine to not like metal, but stepping on someone else's tastes is not cool. For example, I highly would recommend the band The Butterfly Effect[/i] to you. They are an excellent, highly Muse influenced alternative rock band, something that seems like it would be right up your alley. However, I'm guessing you won't bother listening to the song, seeing as it comes from a metalhead who only listens to loud noise with names you've never heard of before. Get Blackwater Park first, then Damnation, followed by Ghost Reveries I might be a freak of nature, but I don't care too much for Still Life.
