I guess it's not really metal, but on the other hand it does often sound like Gorguts' Obscura played by an organ trio. And there's even a bit of (unnecessary) growling.

Dysrhythmia's new album is pretty good if you haven't heard that. It has a couple of Gorguts members in it.

Anyone got some good doom reccs?

Really into Bongripper, sleep and Conan.

Electric Wizard, Om, Kult of The wizard, and Kyuss.

Oh, nice picks. Please tell me you've heard Electric Wizard.





These are real cool too.

We're finally speaking the same language.

I've been all the **** about High on Fire recently, can't believe I forgot about them.

Death Is This Communion is a ****ing 10/10 song and a pretty fantastic album as well.

I've heard some of these albums before, I'll check out the others. Om kinda bores me... I think its just that those Indian (I'm assuming) type scales get so overused in popular media that its kinda hard to listen to em without thinking I'm listening to a bit from a terrible action movie. Which is actually pretty sad.

Best metal supergroup ever with a superb slab if doom



I always forget, and that's a criminal offense

Hello! I'm searching for bands like Turisas, Equilibrium...any recommendation?

Nitro's 1989 debut album OFR and the hugely underrated album Act III by Death Angel from 1990! Also... you can't go wrong with Operation Mindcrime by Queensryche!

^ Is "Lil" a typo or did she forget her password?

Mathcore goodness.

This is excellent Gorguts worship imo

I've been listening to their new release quite a bit, good stuff.

Looking for some recs for sludge metal that has nothing to do with post-metal. **** like Eyehategod, Acid Bath, Iron Monkey, Buzzoven, or anything along New Orleans sludge lines. Raw and abrasive is a plus.

STONE ****ING TITAN




BUZZOV*EN



KEN MODE




HARVEY MILK



KILLDOZER



SCISSORFIGHT



RWAKE



Good ****

Stone Titan sound about right, Buzzoven are pretty sweet, I forgot about Harvey Milk (just downloaded their first two albums), Rwake sound kind of awesome, and the rest are more sludgey than sludge but might be alright when I'm in a more hardcore/post-hardcore mood. BTW please tell me you already know about Cursed. Hardcore band who are so sludge that they double as both.

Sodom & Gomorrah is a goddamned monster track.

I know now! This is ****ing awesome, thx dude.

And I know post-metal isn't your thing at all but this band is too badass to ignore:

Lumbar?

Oh forgot about Big Business too.

Another Elvenking fan. Awesome. There are now two on this site, although I only really care about the debut. But to answer your question I need to know how much you know about power metal, cause if you're into Elvenking then I assume you already know about Blind Guardian and Helloween.

But here are a few anyway.

He's German. Of course he knows Blind Guardian.

I would assume, but those are two pretty random bands to mention. Might be just some guy who stumbled upon power metal without knowing anything about it. And it's nice to know that Blind Guardian are a household name in Germany cause they sure as hell ain't in America.

I might be just surrounded by way too many metal fans and they aren't actually a household name at all.

I need your friends. The only ones here like Suicide Silence.

Why listen to metal? Cause it makes you want to punch people in the face and eat cats alive.

Hey, any Tool fans?

Yeah

Gimme some weird metal **** that doesn't have stupid or terrible vocals.

Looking for modern rock bands building upon old school foundations. Bands that naturally lock into what made early 70s rock and roll so lively and intoxicating without casually imitating it on auto-pilot, bands with standout performers that clearly know what they're doing. Retro rock bands are a dime a dozen right now and it's very difficult to find any that are pumping out genuinely memorable music that exceeds the usual expectation of a quick and forgettable nostalgia dose. There seems to be about 100 bands dressed up in thrift store 70s vests, floral shirts, and bandannas playing the same song 8 different ways for an entire album for every 1 band that is genuinely killing it with the tools that Zeppelin, Deep Purple, and the Stones gave them.

The most obvious and prolific example of what I'm talking about is The Black Crowes. Especially their albums The Southern Harmony & Musical Companion, Amorica, By Your Side, and Warpaint. The Black Crowes very clearly grew out of the style of Faces, Humble Pie, Skynyrd, Foghat, the Allman Brothers, and other early 70s rock groups but still remained continually fresh for most of the 90s largely due to the standout writing/performance talents of vocalist Chris Robinson and his brother, guitarist Rich Robinson.



Chris Robinson's side project Chris Robinson Brotherhood is also excellent:



Another great example, more recent, is the Rival Sons, who still seem to be ironing out a stylistic identity for themselves, but very clearly wear their old school influences on their sleeves without coming across as generic imitators. Plenty of their material is very impressive, both in writing and performance. Jay Buchanan may very well turn out to be one of the greatest rock vocalists of this generation.



Another band very much building on the style of Faces and early Bob Seger without coming across as a karaoke act:

Make that three. The debut and The Pagan Manifesto are pure bliss for me :beer:

Dat "White Willow" melody cameo in "King of the Elves" amirite?

TWISTED SISTER

Heavy metal from the 80’s

absolutely wankered, give me something, anything.
