So you want no vocals AT ALL??? Like None? Ever?

edit: If so, try this.

Thanks mate. I like it!

Just after some instrumental stuff at the moment.

Anyone ever heard of Sarah Jezebel Deva? Her new album might be my favorite of the year... Sarah Jezebel Deva - A Sign Of Sublime

Planet X
 

I would suggest the album Quantum by Planet X, the band Derek Sherinian formed after leaving dream theater. I would say they definitely had an influence on animals as leaders' sound. The album also has a couple tunes featuring fusion guitar legend Allan Holdsworth

Five Finger Death Punch
 

I know that Ive metioned this band a couple of other times before in the past, but their one of my favorite bands of the last year or so, I think that they have potential. (but thats another story) :)

I think that if FFDP could possibly come out with an album or two in the future that proves a level of maturity with the band musically, they could become more popular in the eastern US and the masses as a whole, Ivan Moody is a very versatile metal vocalist, and W.A.S.P. drummer Jeremy Spencer, (who displays some very good double bass drum work), Bingham was replaced by W.A.S.P. guitarist Darrell Roberts in 2006, who was replaced by Alice Cooper guitarist Jason Hook in 2009 (who by the way is a very good guitarist), I guess only time will tell . :confused:

fucking trolls

Really love these bands:
Fit for Rivals
Die Mannequin
Die So Fluid
The Action Design

I'm looking for some new bands to check out... I'd like something along the lines of Muse/Radiohead, since those two are some of my favourite bands. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance ;)

Any HURT fans??

Instrumental Metal
 

howdy
just joined here so thought id say hello and ask for some references.
been a fan of bands like Pelican, Red Sparowes & Russian Circles for a while and just yesterday discovered another similar band Caspain.
if you know these bands you will understand there style so im asking if there are any others i should be listening to?
cheers guys

The Beginner's Guide to Post-Metal

Check out this guide I made a few months ago, I actually included Pelican and Russian Circles on it.

Check out Classic in the Making. Their song Never as Fun is awesome!

If anyone can reccommend me some new music akin to these bands I'd really appreciate it:

Adema, Alice in Chains, Allele, Alter Bridge, Breaking Benjamin, Breaking Point, Chevelle, Cold, Creed, Crossfade, Dark New Day, Edgewater, Eighteen Visions, Evans Blue, Five Finger Death Punch, Fuel, Ghost Machine, Godhead, Godsmack, Hurt, Incubus, Nirvana, Nonpoint, Peroxwhy?gen, Puddle Of Mudd, Saliva, Seether, Sevendust, Shinedown, Sinch, Smile Empty Soul, Soil, Soundgarden, Staind, Stone Sour, Switched, Systematic, Taproot, Tool, Trapt, Trust Company, SpiralArms, 10 Years, 12 Stones, 3 Doors Down, 32 Leaves.

Why do you need more recommendations of the same? These bands are very generic of rock and metal in general (with the exception of say Nirvana, Soundgarden and AIC) Most are commercial and not very interesting at all. In terms of interest Tool stick out head and shoulders above the majority there.

If you want more interesting rock and metal I can certainly recommend some (or somebody else on here can) but if its more of what you have above, you`ve pretty much covered it already.

The JPH, with a list like that you might like Deftones. Early Smashing Pumpkins might also appeal. If you like Tool, you might want to also investigate Porcupine Tree, who are an excellent band.

So anyway, I've been investigating heavy metal bands a lot lately and was wondering if anyone could recommend some to me. At the moment, I'm mostly enjoying Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Budgie, Metallica, Slayer, Rage Against the Machine, Opeth, Death and Slough Feg.

Hmm well let's see.

If you like Black Sabbath you'll most likely enjoy doom metal bands like:

• Cathedral
• Candlemass
• Pentagram

Metallica and Slayer:

• Kreator
• Sepultura
• Exodus
• Overkill

Judas Priest:

• Nevermore
• Communic
• Iron Maiden (obviously)
• Saxon
• Accept

Rage Against the Machine:

• WarsawpacK (not technically a metal band, but best described as if RATM took a chill pill)
• Rehab (again not really metal, but a good blend of hip hop and rock)

Opeth:

• In Vain
• Cynic
• Bloodbath
• In Mourning

Death:

• Control Denied
• Atheist
• Obituary
• Carcass (their later work like Heartwork and Swansong
• Morbid Angel

Slough Feg (Good choice BTW):

• Devin Townsend

Slough Feg is a pretty unique band with not a lot of similar sounding artists, but if you like them then you definitely need to check out Devin Townsend.

Hello!
I search texts of songs of group "Ten".
It seems, as though anybody never spread them on the Internet.
Help to find please the text at least one song, "Elysian fields". I love this song, but don't understand half text(((
I will be very strongly grateful!

P.S.
Forgive me for literacy, it is difficult to write in another's language. And sorry, If I writed in not correctly thread.

And I can't to write a URL. T___T If anybody want to listen this song, writing in PM. Thanks.

Screamo Without the Screaming
 

I've been searching for a long time for a genre that best suits my tastes, very rarely finding success. The closest I've come so far is the music most people refer to as "Screamo" because it seems that the most talented musicians tend to occupy this genre. However, I CAN'T STAND growling/screaming in music. In fact, no vocals at all is much preferred to growling/screaming.

The only band I can even think of that fits this description would be Avenged Sevenfold's more recent work, maybe Bullet For My Valentine... but I would prefer music that's a bit more hardcore.

I'm mostly hoping someone can tell me what genre I should be looking in, and maybe some recommendations of bands that fit the description.

Thanks!

FAO Metal Fans
 

Most metal fans I've encountered have the same stubborn opinion that metal is far superiour to a good pop, soul, rock n roll record. I however disagree and do not like metal nor do I understand why anyone likes it.

So I put it to you, recomend me the BEST metal song. If the genre had to have a representitive in the form of a record, which would it be?

My mind is completely open, if its good and I like it I won't be too stubborn to admit it.

Should be interesting to see what people think!

there is no such thing as THE BEST SONG. Metal has many sub-genres

Okay then, a possible best song.

Well it appears that my post was lost in the moving of your thread, but here it is again.

I must start this post by saying I don't agree with most metal fans about this. I love other genres of music and know for sure that they can be as good/better than metal.

As previously said, no one song can be the best. Not only that but one song can't represent all metal. Why? Because of the diversity within the genre. That's common in all genres of music though.

The song that opened my eyes to metal and made me curious to explore the genre was Black Sabbath's War Pigs.

this is one of my favorite metal songs. progressive black metal

This.

There are a few quintessential Metal albums, but there's no real "best" that everyone agrees on.

My personal favorite Metal song would be "Octavarium" by Dream Theater, but it's a good bet you don't have 24 minutes on your hands. I'll post in anyway incase you do.



And it also depends on what you call metal depending on what you call "metal. To me, Ozzy Osbourne's solo career, Guns 'N Roses, AC/DC, and Aerosmith, are all Hard Rock. Some people really disagree with this. But that's the non-elitest scenario. You have no clue how few bands are always agreed to be "true" metal. None I can think of off of the top of my head, but I know the sound.

Second best METAL song of mine.



Finally, a couple hard rock favorites that some people might call metal.




The second one is much more what I refer to when I say "hard rock". The first one is kind of... Modern metalish hard rock, if that makes any sense.

I almost forgot these:

Metallica has many great, great songs, but All Nightmare Long? It's good, but that's overrating it.

When I heard All Nightmare Long is when I decided that I am going to keep listening to Metallica even after The Day That Never Comes

Would anyone happen to have any Black Metal suggestions for someone who just recently started listening to a metal less than a year ago? I tried looking myself but couldn't really find anything that I liked besides Melechesh.

Niacin Flush
 

Four words. Niacin Flush. Dudes kill.

I don't know if all of these bands have been mentioned before so sorry if it is a repeat:

King Diamond
Taake
Drudkh
1349
Emperor
Burzum
Chur
Hate Forest
Electric Wizard
Watain
Carpathian Forest
Funeral Mist
Mercyful Fate
Judas Priest
Black Sabbath
Marduk
Satanic Warmaster
Nattefrost
Tyr
Mr. Bungle
Melvins
EyeHateGod
Kyuss
Gorilla Monsoon
Fu Manchu
Bolt Thrower
Death
Rotting Christ

Start with Opeth or Dimmu Borgir. If you like either of them let me know, I'll give you some more.

I highly suggest Fen. You can hear some post-rock influence in it and kinda folky at times.

I'm looking for music with a certain style, and since It's very hard for me to put it in words, I'll link a song:



Can anyone make some recommendation for similar stuff? Preferably songs\albums as opposed to artists.

Thanks :)

LISTEN TO THIS BAND, PEOPLE!

Try...

Triptykon:


Behemoth:

Does anyone know of any acoustic math rock music?

Is there such a thing? Seems like it would be absolutely terrible.

depends on what album your listening too?

Tubelord is a math pop band from England, and they recently released an acoustic album called For the Grandparents. It's very good, you should listen.
