Some bands I've been listening to lately that I don't think has been listed:

Winds
In the Woods
Morgion
Green Carnation
November's Doom
Novembre
The Old Dead Tree
Swallow the Sun
Cult of Luna

Mostly melodic, progressive music but these bands vary in vocals from clean (no falsetto shit), to death and clean, to black and clean, to death/black.

6/16/2005 8:55:43 PM

if i were to check out some of the bands you just listed, what ones would you recommend most? or are they already in your order of preference?

6/17/2005 4:14:20 PM

Stryper

6/17/2005 4:25:52 PM

6/22/2005 4:02:13 PM

I've been listening to Strapping Young Lad "Alien" almost exclusively for the last two week.

BEST VIDEO EVER MADE:

Metal + Evil Dead = winnar

6/22/2005 4:02:54 PM

Stryper =

but i actually do love them and we have been thinking about covering a song by them sometime

[Edited on June 22, 2005 at 4:05 PM. Reason : ]

6/22/2005 4:04:19 PM

^^ Have you checked out Devin Townsend's solo stuff?

also, i dont know if any video can top Meshuggah's for New Millenium Cyanide Christ


^ i mean what kind of music are they, what do they sound like, etc

6/22/2005 4:06:06 PM

I own almost every Devin Townsend album.

Ocean Machine, Physicist, Infinity, Terria, Accelerated Revolution (don't own Devlab, any Zimmers Hole, and a few others)

Also own all 5 SYL albums.

6/22/2005 4:07:38 PM

next time im online i can send you a song or two. hair metal stuff i guess to put it simple. but their guitarists were pretty good

6/22/2005 4:09:36 PM

^^ oh. can't get anything by you! haha

^ aight that's cool...that picture is crazy, i always have to ask...what the hell were they thinking? i can't knock them for it, because one of my favorite genres (black metal) is known for ridiculous band photos...but still

[Edited on June 22, 2005 at 4:11 PM. Reason : damn you two and your fast post succesion]

6/22/2005 4:10:05 PM

When I DJ'ed at KNC, I would play the fuck out of Ocean Machine. I can listen to that album for days its just so fucking incredible.

I'm just a huge Devy fan :p

6/22/2005 4:11:29 PM

so out of Ocean Machine, Infinity, and Terria...which is your favorite and why?

6/22/2005 4:12:36 PM

haha. yea im bored at work

yea i love their pictures haha. some of my fav hair metal promo pics

6/22/2005 4:13:49 PM

It honestly depends on the mode.

Infinity might be my least favorite of the three. That CD is SUPER layered, and it takes many, many listens to get through them all. Its pure insanity, and in my opinion a work of art. But its definetly like coffee to a lot of people. Tons of ambient work on the album.

Terria is, simply, a beautiful album. Its pretty soft (for Dev), though. I mean how many songs include an orca whale chorus? That CD is awesome as a catalyst to escape reality. I just bought it again (my old cd cracked a year or two ago). A very surreal CD with some excellent guitar work.

Ocean Machine is definetly my favorite. Out of all the albums I'd say its the 2nd heaviest (behind Physicist). I really don't know how to explain why I like it so much. Its just perfect. The production, lyrics, music.. unreal.

[Edited on June 22, 2005 at 4:19 PM. Reason : ed]

6/22/2005 4:17:31 PM

I might as well do this.... favorite songs and albums:

Straping Young Lad
Heavy as a Really Heavy thing - Critic and SYL (tied)
City - this album is considered a classic metal album so its extremly hard for me to pick one track ... I'd say All Hail the New Flesh
No Sleep till Bedtime - Far Beyond Metal
SYL - Aftermath
Alien - Love?

Devin Townsend
Ocean Machine - Night
Infinity - Christeen
Physicist - Jupiter
Terria - the Fluke
Accelerated Revolution - Track 10 (forget the name)..

6/22/2005 4:23:43 PM

awesome...we were talkin about his stuff earlier in this thread but i still havent gotten around to getting any it. i really want to, i just havent had the money and the memory at the same time. he really sounds like what i've been looking for, though i haven't heard any of it (his solo stuff i mean, of course i know SYL). i'll probably pick up ocean machine before the iniquity album then

^^ are those albums listed in your order of preference?

still any thoughts on iniquity's "grime?" (anyone)


^^^ where do you work



[Edited on June 22, 2005 at 4:26 PM. Reason : -->/]

6/22/2005 4:24:18 PM

I never got all that deep into gore metal and straight out death metal. I like Nile, Vader, and the such but besides the karaoke I haven't heard much of Iniquity

btw goto http://www.hevydevy.com and you can d/l a bunch of songs



[Edited on June 22, 2005 at 4:30 PM. Reason : albums were listed in chronological order in second post]

6/22/2005 4:26:24 PM

^^ i have an engineering internship at CSI-chemical specialties. its right in harrisburg .7 miles from my parents house in river hills estates. right off of 49

6/22/2005 4:29:22 PM

^^ i'm listening to the mp3s from his albums....this guy is insane. guessing i don't need to explain that one to you though haha

^ oh sweet man, congrats on getting that job
for some reason i thought you were still in raleigh

6/22/2005 4:36:34 PM

thanks man. yea i was planning on staying in raleigh but it didnt work out (didnt get an internship here). and youve probably seen my threads in here as playing some shows in raleigh maybe. ive been driving up on the weekends and such

6/22/2005 4:38:34 PM

haha, I don't mean to come off as a devy snob

6/22/2005 4:52:46 PM

i used to love me some tool and opeth, sorta drifted away from that these days.

about the only metal bands i still have in rotation are judas preist and motorhead (well, the cult if you count them). the rest lately has been either japanese rock or jazz.


[Edited on June 22, 2005 at 5:09 PM. Reason : .]

6/22/2005 5:08:31 PM

Bands I've been listening too for the last 2 months (at work):

Children of Bodom
Fear Factory
Spineshank
Strapping Young Lad
Cradle of Filth
Gardenian
Ill Nino (not all that metalish.... but eh)
Devin Townsend
Soilwork
In Flames
Nightwish
Dimmu Borgir
Opeth
Borknagar
Tiamat

i need to check out tiamat...it's one of those names i keep seeing but i've never heard

^^ japanese rock? essplain

6/22/2005 6:00:38 PM

j-rock, like

dir en grey
l'arc en ciel
malice mizer
kagrrra
gackt
psycho le cemu

give a listen sometime

6/22/2005 6:06:03 PM

cool...sounds interesting

6/22/2005 6:14:04 PM

^^my favorites out of that list are Malice Mizer and Gackt (who used to be the lead singer of Malice Mizer, incidentally).


Tiamat is amazing; their last few albums have been a lot more atmospheric and experimental, but all of their material is of uniformly high quality. My favorites are A Deeper Kind Of Slumber, and Skeleton Skeletron.

7/22/2005 10:39:38 AM

atreyu, from autumn to ashes, avenged sevenfold, silverstein, underoath, nonpoint

7/22/2005 11:55:03 AM

not metal.

7/22/2005 6:18:55 PM

picked up Hypocrisy's "The Arrival" a few days ago...


very pleased, this album kicks ass. the only complaint i have is that tagtgren doesn't use more of his vocal range, particularly his low-end...listening to him on Bloodbath's "Nightmares Made Flesh" gives me a raging boner, but you don't hear so much of his range on this album. That said, this album is fucking great, it's got some beautiful melodies and some badass thrash parts...not very technical or impressive from a skill standpoint, but just good fucking metal. one of those ones that you listen to all the way through and then back your cd player back up to the first track and do it all over again. i recommend it, and if you're a fan of hypocrisy it's a must...it's a return to their old sound, not the nu-metalish direction their last one went. peter's back \m/

7/29/2005 12:08:41 AM

Ok, who the fuck is Dragonforce?

I may have found a power metal band I really like...

8/12/2005 5:08:32 PM

HOLY SHIT



BUY NILE'S NEW ALBUM "ANNIHILATION OF THE WICKED"



NOW



AND FUCKING CRANK THAT SHIT

8/12/2005 7:40:53 PM

I'm serious...if a media compilation stored on a compact disk and replayed via a large speaker system could ever kill you, it's this album.

8/12/2005 7:49:52 PM

Opeth - Ghost Reveries came out yesterday, go get it
