Hey all, this is my first post here! This forum caught my eye and I had to join.
Anyway, for my first post, I was hoping I could get some recommendations for some new bands. I've been searching my heart out, but can't quite find what I'm looking for. If anyone's willing, here's an idea of the kind of **** I'm looking for:
I want bands that are alternative, heavy, but not too heavy (lamb of god is the heaviest I'll go. no immortal or anything) with experimentation (kind of like the Dillinger escape plan) and technical riffs and beats. They've got to have a few ballads too, some acoustic interludes and singing vocals (like Slipknot, Darkest Hour or Pantera)
They don't have to be singed to be major label bands, by the way. But no unsigned stuff.
That might be too complicated I suppose, but to me, it seems like I could find something like that everywhere.
Here is what I'm listening to now: (I've listened to these dudes SOO much)
Metallica (nothing after the black album)
Slipknot
Tool
Pantera
Down
Mastodon
System of a Down
The Dillinger Escape Plan
Gojira
Baroness
Acid Bath
Trivium
Tenacious D
Slayer
Lamb of God
Darkest Hour
etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
