Hmm. Striker are rather retro-ish.... Maax claim to be more influenced by Crue than anyone else, but they use black metal-esque vocals.... ummm....

Maybe Blood Revolt? Reed from Conqueror & Revenge & axis of advance does drums, while some mic from Primordial & Plagued does vocals.

...also, new Manilla Road, maybe?

Any suggestions for jazzcore bands like Naked City? Only ones that I really listen to/know of are Painkiller and Last Exit.

How about a little Combat Astronomy? They're more like jazzdoom but very good and still in the same ballpark.

Forgot about them, already a pretty big fan of their album Flak Planet, but I will check out their other albums, thanks. Would you happen to have a link to any of their other albums? Can't seem to find any.

I want a recommendation for artists like 58, Queens of the Stone Age, and Tool. Thanks!

This spammer knows his stuff.

Black September: A blackened crust band out of Chicago with a female singer that is putting out some good stuff.

Well, I'm going to be blatantly obvious and say this: IRON MAIDEN. Slipknot are really awesome too, but they're kinda controversial; some "hardcore" metal fans say they're "not proper metal", and okay, sure, if that's your opinion, but I love them. Amazingly talented.
Stone Sour are really good if you want something with some rock and metal influences and style, but can go a bit softer as well - their songs Bother and Through Glass aren't anywhere near as heavy as, say, 30 30 150.
I'm also really into My Chemical Romance...do NOT hate on me and call me emo! If you're one of those people who are like "oh yeah they're a bunch of s**t for teenage girls" then please...just listen to them. Their older stuff has more talent and rawness, I'd say, and I like it more.
But yeah. I'm new here! :)

Welcome to MB and all, but I hate your music (except for Iron Maiden, they're awesome).

You want heavy? Go listen to some Black Sabbath, child, and learn.

Entire back cataloger or something more specific? They have a lot of music to choose from.

If it helps, I pick (in date order): Orchid, Watershed and Heritage

Short answer: yes, everything by them. Depends on what you want. Watershed and Blackwater Park are my favorites. If you want a rock album then Heritage is what you want. If you want a really soft progressive rock, then its Damnation. More of a black metal-ish feel, Orchid and Morningrise. Their heaviest albums are Deliverance and Ghost Reveries. Their heaviest song is Heir Apparent. My favorite songs by them are Burden, Windowpane, Demon of the Fall, Heir Apparent, Blackwater Park, and Advent....but Demon of the Fall is my #1.

Where to start if youre new to them: Blackwater Park, Ghost Reveries, Watershed, and Orchid. They each give you a little taste of everything. But serioualy, theyve never put out anything less than perfection (of course id say that, theyre my favorite band)

U.P.O. is a relatively unknown band by most music enthusiast that formed in 1997. Zoltán Báthory, lead guitarist for Five Finger Death Punch was the bassist with U.P.O. which disbanded in 2004.

This band shocked me. They have some special flavour that suprized me. I know them long ago when they'd sucked...and now they've changed to better. I think you might like them.

Hell yeah Sabbath!

I need some suggestions for doom metal-based bands. Fusion with other forms of extreme metal, or other genres entirely, is just fine with me. I know the obvious bands (Sleep, Electric Wizard, Sabbath, etc.), so gimme some lesser known bands. Please and thank you, metalheads.

hmmmm, looking at your last.fm as a reference, it seems like your tastes fall more into the mainstream and well known.

For me, I like Death-Doom a lot as a style. The combo of the style when done well really impressed me.

Some obvious (to me) favorites:





Will leave it at that for now, as I am not sure what you think of the style really.

As far as metal goes, I am shamefacedly mainstream. I didn't even start liking truly extreme metal- anything heavier and harder than thrash- until this year. I do enjoy a wide variety of other genres, and love some very, very obscure artists, but definitely not in metal. By the way, if you look at my Last.FM, please ignore the "Overall" charts. I've had the account for a long, long time, and I have enjoyed some **** music in the past. Bear in mind, I'm only 20. :laughing:

Anywho, your songs you gave me. I'm not super crazy about really low death growls (I much prefer screams or screeches or some other form of scary vocals), and it kinda bored me. Your second song by Autopsy was quite good, and I will look into that album, for sure. Your last song by Asphyx was my favorite of the three, and I will be checking out more from the band.

Thanks for the help, and any other recs are welcome.

Well, first of all, you need Reverend Bizarre in your life. Heavy and epic but with a hint of cheese.

Faustcoven call themselves black doom metal:

Hey every one, This is my First Comment in the forum
i listen to Dubstep mainly and i wanted to listen to some metal too
So am looking for some great metal songs by great bands
what i mainly looking for is slow beat, about 140 RBM ~ becasue most of metal songs i heard have fast beat, and am looking for heavy ' i mean really heavy guitar sound,
i prefer clean lyrics, i mean the song is not talking about death and devil . .
one of the songs that really touched me and nearly made me cry is "this World is not my home" by Inward To Olympus

Thank you all, and i hope i find what am looking for here

Ehhh, I've never really been into Reverend Bizarre. I've heard them several times in the past, and they've always bored me. Thanks anyway, though!

That was pretty cool, I'll have to look up more from them. Thanks!

^^^

And BTW, I'm assuming you're well aware of High On Fire and Om, correct?

But of course! High on Fire are one of my favorites, and though I haven't fully checked out Om, I'm in the process.

blaro, do you know of the Japanese group Coffins? They do sort of death/doom, but what I find makes them unique is their willingness to incorporate elements from outside these oh-so-rigid genres without making it overt. In particular, they do wonderful d-beat sections.

Never heard of them, but will check them out ASAP, they sound great.

I'd also have to suggest some funeral doom if you aren't already familiar with it.

Admiral's Arms - We Both Saw That Bear




The Great Divide - Leave Tomorrow (feat. Scott Wade)

Sorry for the late reply, I didn't realize anyone had given me more suggestions!

I'm usually not that into funeral doom (which is odd considering I enjoy ambient music), but I've heard both of those artists before and thought they were decent. Next time I'm in the mood for something slow and heavy as an anvil I'll check 'em out. :)

You say that you're just getting into doom, but you have pretty decent knowledge of it already.

Maybe my standards are too high with people like Jackhammer and Mojopinuck around.

I'd say so. I've been into metal for years, and they still **** on me. Or at least Jackhammer certainly does, since I'm not entirely sure whether Mojo just listens to certain genres of metal.

A Day To Remember is a pretty sick band. I dont listen to much rock/alt. but their dope. or Linkin Park

Anyone know any bands with this similar style?

How much death metal are you familiar with?

Ehh not much, aside from Death, Obituary, Incantation, Opeth, Gorguts, Bloodbath and a bit of the melodic stuff Children of Bodom (early I should mention) and Kalmah.

born of osiris!!!

necrophagist

Good ****. If you prefer the simpler, less technical stuff that's more focused on just sounding evil, then might I suggest some of the Swedish DM bands: Entombed, Dismember, Unleashed, Grave, or Carnage. They were definitely trying to channel early Death and Obituary. All quality, and none that sound particularly polished. Also, if you haven't already, you should definitely check out Morbid Angel. Just...ignore their last album.

I find it offensive you didn't bold Opeth :P

I've heard some of those names but never checked them out, and I trust the swedes to provide with the best. I had a friend who was really into Morbid Angel, but I would always supersede anytime he mentioned them with Morbid Saint, I just wouldn't have it that they had similar names. But I'll check em all out.
