Parkway Drive
Atreyu
Bullet for my valentine
It dies today
As i lay dying
Shadows fall
War of ages
Unearth
Children of Bodom
Norther
Sonic Syndicate
Scar Symmetry
All that remains
Still remains
August burns red
Killswitch engage
Between the buried and me
divine heresy

That's something I should have mentioned before; I'm not a big fan of metalcore, or hardcore. I like ATR and some KE, but that and the stuff I listed is as far as it goes.

I have to say it-Byzantine "And They Shall Take Up Serpents"
Or anything by Coroner-"Grin" probably the most progressive
Seriously,Byzantine are legendary

If you want really atmospheric metal check out:
Deftones
Tool
Dimmu borgir
Sunn0)))
the devil sold his soul

Check out newer Isis...both albums In The Absence of truth, and Wavering Radiant are quite atmospheric

I'm looking for some bands that have similar sounds to Led Zeppelin. Any suggestions please? Thanks!

There's tons of classic rock bands you can listen to like The Who, AC/DC, Rush, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Deep Purple, Free, Black Sabbath etc. Or if you want something a bit more modern try Wolfmother and The Answer, they're pretty much reviving the classic rock sound.

Until The End - Avenged Sevenfold
I Won't See You Tonight - Avenged Sevenfold
The Byronic Man - Cradle Of Filth
Coma White - Marilyn Manson
Lamb Of God - Marilyn Manson

Definatelt Avenged Sevenfold. They are great.

Master Exploder - Tenacious D (Very good one indeed.)

Ldawg

Sounds like a rap name but he is like a cross between Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd

Try Between the Buried and Me (after The Silent Circus)

Jaysis. Really? I'm still waiting for them to become socially irrelevant. That will restore a bit of my faith in modern music.

Karnivool, an australian band this is just plane sick. I think you would like them.

also Protest the Hero

Hey! Im new to the site and this is my 1st post :)

I've been looking for some new music for ages but I never seem to come up with anything.

Im not really into the whole really heavy screamy/growly stuff. I love Metallica, In Flames and Alexisonfire but stuff like Lamb of God kinda does my head in.
Ive got a kinda weird mix of music tbh.
I love stuff like Within Temptation, Lacuna Coil, Nightwish, Tarot blah blah blah.
But then the cheesy stuff like Jimmy Eat World and Blink 182 gets played a hell of a lot too.
Heres a few of the other bands I listen to a lot -
30 seconds to mars
Paramore
Madina Lake
Avantasia
Bullet For My Valentine
Coheed and Cambria
Muse

If anyone can suggest any other bands for me to try that'd b great. As much as I like the stuff Ive got Im really bored of listening to the same stuff :(
Thanks :) x

Hardcore superstar, music that nicely combines rock, trash and sleaze. Very many albums, and all of em are different. I warmly recommend

I would recommend:

Avenged Sevenfold
Sixx:A.M.
Sevendust
Scar Symmetry
Vains of Jenna
Ra
The Mars Volta
Halestorm
Atreyu

Hey... I've kind of lost interest in the old rock bands i used to like (green day, all american rejects and other radio friendly acts). I look back at my past taste and cringe a little - i will probably do the same in a year. Anyway, the only rock bands i'm liking at the moment are;
Radiohead
Muse
and (if you can call them rock) The Killers.

Any recomendations?

Fireflight - Unbreakable http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWRJAHaOrYg

my favorite rock and metal music includes:
Guns 'N Roses (both old and new)
Muse
Hendrix
Metallica
Blind Faith
Buckethead
Queen
Sixx A.M
Nirvana
Dream Theater

any recommendations?

There is quite a change up with those artists.

Megadeth for sure - Countdown To Extinction 1991, i thinks :)

If you like Nirvana then you should like the other of the big four grunge bands, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and maybe a few other grunge bands, Temple of the Dog and Mother Love Bone are both very good.

If you like Buckethead then I recommend Steve Vai, The Infinite Steve Vai: An Anthology is the best way to start but otherwise get Fire Garden.

If you like Dream Theater than you should like Vanishing Point, start with Embrace the Silence, you should also like Pain of Salvation (one of my favourite bands ever) and Symphony X. For PoS start with Remedy Lane or The Perfect Element Part 1 and Symphony X start with Paradise Lost.

Been wanting to look into 70's prog, where should i start?

http://www.musicbanter.com/prog-psyc...tion-prog.html
:D

Camel (moonmadness)
Caravan (In The land...)
Pink Floyd (animals and WYWH)
Eloy (ocean)
Gentle Giant (S/t, octopus)
Il Balletto Di Bronzo (ys)
Jethro Tull (Thick as a brick)
King Crimson (In The Court, Red, Lizard)
Marillion(Possibly)
Rush
Wishbone Ash (Argus)
Yes

Some goodies there ;)

HEAD EAST-If you knew me better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JS8JJC_4aY

You gotta give ELP a spin. "Brain Salad Surgery" is as dark and nasty as 70's prog got. "Trilogy" is slightly less muscular, but equally brilliant. You may want to consider one of the many remastered comps. that are out there, but make sure you get one with a full length version of "Tarkus".

A good place to start would probably be King Crimson`s "In the Court of the Crimson King" A definitive prog album that is quite easy to listen too and absorb.

I really like your list, similar taste.
As somebody here said, you really should try Pain Of Salvation and Symphony X, you may like them... I definitelly love them.
My favourite (progressive) rock/metal band is Riverside, Anathema and Katatonia.
If you are open for combination of more styles (rock, metal, ambient, some pop-rock melodies) you should try Porcupine Tree. I love it, it's combination of everything what I need.


King Crimson is really good start!
My start was with Pink Floyd (Wish You Were Here), Marillion (Misplaced Childhood - I know, it's 1985) and Yes (The Yes Album). It was probably good start because I love prog now :)



I have a question too...

Does somebody know some good metal band with german lyrics and singing?
I think german language fits to metal very well but I wasn't lucky to find some band yet.
I am not so much into death metal and growl, rather progressive metal or some heavy metal with clear singing. My taste is something like Opeth, Anathema, Katatonia, Pain of Salvation.
If you don't know german band, some english or some other languages are welcome too.
Thank you.

Good german metal bands:
(band - album)
Accept - I'm a Rebel
Kreator - Pleasure to Kill
Sodom - Persecution Mania

etc...

Of course, there's always Tom Angelripper's solo material.

^
Destruction's also a must for some kraut thrash. They don't sing in German, but they got a thick as hell accent..."I vant to dreeink lots of bee-ozzz und play loud geetaarzzz!" Coroner needs to get your attention, too. Even though they're Swiss, they're Teutonic at heart.

I think Kreator`s "Extreme Agression" and especially "Coma of Souls" are two fantastic thrash albums.

Strangely nobody has mentioned the Scorpions, I know the stuff post "Love at First Sting" is mostly commercial and formula rubbish for the most part, but albums like "Lovedrive" "Blackout" and "Love at First Sting" I think are pretty essential to most hard rock/heavy metal collections. I think Klaus Meine`s voice is pretty special and certainly one of my favourite vocalists in the genre.

Talking of Swiss...........just think Celtic Frost, some great albums.

F__cking Aye! Lovedrive is tight. IMO their best, combining their early adventurous heavy style, with their later popular streamlined power chording. Best of all, it's got Michael Schenker on 4 or 5 tacks.:clap:

It's also got an amusing cover.

Animal Magnetism also has a very interesting cover as well. For some reason I couldn`t post a link here.

static-x and volbeat put out amazing albums last year. "cult of static." and "guitar gangsters and cadillac blood."

If anyone is interested is glam/hair metal type music like me, a really good choice is Dirty Penny. They're just starting to get big. Their second album "Young & Reckless" is out, and rocks like nothing else. I suggest you buy it, don't steal it. C'mon, support the band. Their vocalist sounds a lot like Vince Neil.

Hey im new to the site and was hoping for some recommendations for good bands that are extremely heavy. i love growling vocals but nothing like black metal or anything like eyehategod. those vocals annoy me.

some bands i currently listen to:
Lamb of God
Mastodon
Gojira
Machine head
Death
Pantera
Black Label Society
Slayer
Job For a Cowboy
Just to name a few

Try melodic death metal, plenty of growled vocals there with groups like In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, Soilwork, Arch Enemy and Children of Bodom to name just a few.

well out of those bands you have listed dark tranquillity is the only one i havent heard. im a big fan of the others besides soilwork. i'll go check out dark tranquillity though. thanks unknown soldier
