Metal thread

[Mr. Self Destruct]

I've recently gotten into Children of Bodom
anybody care to point me in the direction of similar bands?

would be much appreciated

You might like a band called Into Eternity, and probably As I Lay Dying, but i imagine you might have heard of them, also a band called Sonic Syndicate.

ahh cheers man, they're all good and i've seen As I Lay Dying live before so all is good

I recently found my dad's old CD collection, so I've listened to it a LOT lately. Early Metallica and Megadeth, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden Black Sabbath, some glam like Motley Crue, Twisted Sister, and Bon Jovi. For more modern stuff, Kamelot, HammerFall, Nightwish, Raphsody of Fire, Dream Theater, sometimes even Opeth and Dimmu Borgir, despite my burning hatred of the growl.

Classic metal, like Metallica pre-Black Album, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath etc. The only new bands I like are The Sword, Dethklok, and Mastodon (one of my favorite bands).

Italian progressive fusion band. So awesome.

If you're looking for more melodic death metal, then try The Absence. Also have a look at Mors Principium Est, The Arcane Order and Prey for Nothing.

An all around amazing band; love these guys. Thought their stuff from 'Fortress' was better though.
Missed out on tickets when they played near to where I lived though

I'm currently listening to Diablo Swing Orchestra and Opeth ^^

The loud-soft dynamic in the guitars and the general craziness kind of reminds me of Between the Buried and Me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-4ghKA0HTk

Yep I like metal ^^ I'm into:
Opeth
Metallica - anything before black album
Pantera
Chimaira
Strapping Young Lad
Mastodon
Dream Theatre
Testament
Machine Head
...There's more, I just can't think of it right now, and I'm into alot of music other than metal also so it's hard to pick out what's really metal, and what's other stuff.

 

[hxcfreak]

A great pick. Here are some of my contenders:

Protest the Hero - Fortress
Gojira - The Way of All Flesh
Torche - Meanderthal

I'm sure I could think up some more if I could look at my library.

Fun fact--if you listen to it through headphones and sing the guitar parts, you sound like a crazy person.

I think I'd put stuff like Caina (one guy?) and Intronaut on that list too, because they're different.

Am I the only person who thinks Nachtmystium isn't as good as everyone blabs on about?

God I adore Gojira. For me probably:
Origin - Antithesis
Krisiun - Southern Storm
Gojira- The Way of All Flesh

Skinless and Necrophagist are releasing new stuff this year, should be awesome.

New Necrophagist album? Awesome. Here's hoping he changed his growls a bit.
