Thanks SilverSword, somebody recommended Efterkleng earlier, but I never really checked them out. Will try do it again. Ahh. So much to listen, so much to see. Where am I going to find the time?

Check out Alcest. I know you won't like Tristesse Hivernale or Le Secret, but you might like the 2007 release, Souvenirs D'un Autre Monde. Initially a Black Metal side-project by Neige of Peste Noire. They're more Shoegaze/Post-Rock with a vague Black Metal basis though. very cool, dreamy music.

I don't remember if I already recommended it before, but try Watchtower, it's progressive thrash metal :P .

Helstar

 

 

 

ps: thx how2pk, farscape was worth the listen. :)

Try Demilich, specifically the Nespithe album.

Thanks Cheese, I'll check them out.

 

 

 

Warrior, you should listen to Primordial if you don't already know them. Nadril recommended them to me the other day, and they are absolutely fantastic. As for albums, try To The Nameless Dead.

Have I ever recommended you Jesu or

Intriguing? I'm sure you've heard me talk about them, but not sure if you ever gave them a try.

 

 

 

They're probably my 2 favorite bands.

 

 

 

 

 

If you haven't than maybe try Ahab. Haven't heard much of it, but seems like pretty promissing Doom metal.

If you're not listened to Agalloch (I think you might have) then I'd recommend that you listen to their "Ashes Against the Grain" album.

 

 

 

Also, Ahab is pretty [bleep]ing kvlt.

Nadril, I've definitely heard you talking about them, but I don't think you recommended them to me. Either way, I haven't heard them before, so I'll give them a listen. :)

 

 

 

Silver, you could try out Zuriaake. They're a pretty solid atmospheric Black Metal band from China. I'm not going to say they're groundbreaking or anything, but they're interesting, and the music sets a great environment. I got the album Afterimage of Autumn yesterday, so I've only had one listen through. However, there were a few things in it that grabbed my attention, so I'm going to have another listen through later on today, and pay a bit more attention to it.

 

 

 

They're not exactly well-known, so as for obtaining their music, try here.

Oh and I almost forgot, for Jesu try the albums Silver (EP) and Jesu.

 

 

 

Someone else recommend intriuging something :P

Both of you could try Mirrorthrone and Sworn.

You might want to check out Anorexia Nervosa, a symphonic black metal band. They manage to make it work very well if you ask me.

It's hard recommending things to you, lol, but perhaps try

?

King's X, Green Carnation, In the Woods...

 

Ragen, I've seen you around heaps on this thread, but I'm still not completely sure what you're into. I'm just going to recommend Blut aus Nord. French Ambient Black Metal. I don't think it's what you generally listen to, but no reason not to listen to something a little different. As for albums, try The Work Which Transforms God or MoRT. Ignore the stupid name of the song on the video I linked.

 

 

 

They sound great :thumbsup: I added it to my list of albums to be getting soon. I'm always looking out for music which expands my horizons musically. Progressive music is really what I'm looking for, although straight up metal can be great too.

 

 

 

To SilverSword, I recommend Devin Townsends Solo work. His albums Terria and Ziltoid the Omniscient are both brilliant (the later is less experimental and more metal I suppose).

Progressive, eh? You might want to check out Behold... The Arctopus, then. They're more experimental and a bit rubbish in my opinion, but they appeal to some people.

 

 

 

Skip me if you want and suggest another for Ragen.

Cyco, i sense people have mentioned them before, but have you heard Between the Buried and Me? Fantastic prog metal/metalcore. Also they have the best Bycicle Race cover ever.

 

 

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4gOqhkkIZM :twss:

 

 

 

Norma Jean is a good Mathcore band also.

 

 

 

 

 

As for me, i don't have a last.fm, But that should be over shortly.

[hide=]B...TA never did it for me. The closest I got to that kind of music was enjoying Pysopus - Insects.

For White Guy, if you're a BTBAM fan (as I am), you'll proball enjoy Protest the Hero. Get Fortress and you'll love it. It was a big contender for album of the year for me, until Opeth came along with Watershed.

That protest song is much more straight forward than most of theirs. I put it up because it's probally the most catchy and will therefore appeal to most :

You would probably like Symphony X. If you already know them, pm me and I can recommend you something else.

Seconding the recommendation of Symphony X. Excellent band.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How about something non-metal. I'll say Bloc Party; some Brit-indie rock. Start with Silent Alarm.

Thanks, though I don't particularly care for Bloc Party too much...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Perhaps you would like John Zorn's Naked City project? It's the only jazz I've ever liked, but it's incredible, and I figured you'd like a nonmetal recommendation for once :P.

I'll try it. I love jazz, especially free jazz.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's hard recommending you stuff seeing as we listen to really similar things. (and thus know some of the bands in those genres)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But do check out Warning. Some of the most crushing, amazing traditional doom metal I've heard in a while. Plus, they're from England.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Doom is the only thing my country ever did right. :| Apart from whatever The Prodigy is.

Ragen:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fortress and Kezia are in my top 3 albums stand. (Colors is the third)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I will try something different, what about Mago de Oz :?:

 

 

 

It's a Spanish Folk Rock/Melodic Rock band.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The song is Satania from the Finisterra album. It's an AMV, so it sucks, just listen to the song.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The singer has an amazing voice, and Spanish rock/metal is very different to the English one. Spanish is all about who can sing with the highest pitch, unlike English, which is basically RooOOOooOOoWwWwWwwrrrrr!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another Mago song:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Again, don't watch the video, just the song. It's 21 minutes long, so this is only the first part. You should try downloading it, it's epic.

Going off of this, I chose

. It seemed like it matched up (kindof). I don't listen to much music like that though, at least not yet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As for music I listen to, I don't have a last.fm yet (been meaning to get one), but I can list the bans I've been listening to recently:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

~Gwar

 

 

 

~Sonata Arctica ( )

 

 

 

~

(Level 70 Elite Tauren Chieftain, may be L80ETC now) from WoW.

 

 

 

~Some Disturbed.

 

 

 

~

(epic artist). Link doesn't do it justice, I have another version, which sounds a lot better.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've also been listening to I Stand Alone by Godsmack, and I like it for the lyrics and everything, but I don't like much of their other music. Before I Forget by Slipknot is another song/band just like it too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, anyone have more like Coheed and Cambria (ie Welcome Home, from RB)?
