Strapping Young Lad are pretty much free of cliches. They are driven mostly by Devin Townsend's bi-polar disorder. Extremely heavy, yet the vocals tend to fluctuate from growling to more melodic singing. He does this on purpose to showcase his extremely varied range and it really does add another depth to the song. The greatest thing about this group is the vocals do tend to have some tongue-in-cheek humor behind them, however the way they're delivered you may miss it on your first few listens. Normally I would recommend starting from the beginning "As Heavy As A Really Heavy Thing" but I feel that their second album, "City", is by far their strongest.
If you like what's in this vid, let me know and I'll put a list together for ya.
BTW, the song really takes off after the drop, so give it a little time.
Here's some producers that put out music in that vein. Most of that stuff is released as singles, so you may have to search around through their catalogs. I found some vids on Youtube but you'll probably have better luck if you go to an online record shop and sample the tunes. Beatport.com is also a good place to look. At that site, you'll want to navigate to breaks > Nuskool.
Baobinga
(This one isn't as heavy, but it's a quality tune)
Cntrl Z
General Midi
Far Too Loud
Napt
(More in the vein of electro breaks, but still quality)
Xim N Bass / Viper X
(Sample songs of both artists, each tune is a monster)
ALSO...
If you dig all that, you might dig Drum & Bass. Here's an example:
Noisia
(These guys are epic)
If you liked that, check out the Drum & Bass thread in the Electronica forum. I have a link to a bunch of tracks you can download that should still be up at megaupload.
Oh yea, almost forgot.
Check out hardcorebeats.co.uk and have a look around.
They've got some disgustingly dirty ass breaks that will make you go to church the next day.
You can sample all the tunes as well.
hey guys, I've been considering adding some Boards of Canada to my collection... heard a few good tracks and stuff, but not sure where to start as far as albums go and such... can anyone help me? Clue me in!
