Isnt that....the idea?Hail Fire 998 said:Never heard of any of them.superbleeder12 said:ENEMY WALL OF TEXT!!!
Where to begin, I listen to a ton of groups that don't get a lot of attention, but should.
The Abbasi Brothers - Mellow post rock with some electronic influences
Aeon Spoke - Side project of Paul Masvidal of Cynic.
Agalloch - Dark Metal from Washington State (if I remember correctly) if you're a fan of opeth you'll definitely love this group
Alcest - French Shoegaze from the musical genius Neige. Souvenirs d'un autre monde is probably one of my favorite albums of all time
The American Dollar - Great post-rock with just enough electronica. Great chillout music.
Amesoeurs - another project of Neige's. More Punk influenced with some Black Metal influence too.
Day Without Dawn - Fantastic blend of metal and catchy riffs and singing. Their LP is way too short, but amazing
Daylight Dies - Great Death/Doom band from America, really clean growls and very depressing Riffs.
The Dear Hunter - Progressive Rock project who just (leaked) their third of six albums. each album is a part of a 6 act play which tells the story of a young man's life from birth to death.
The Depreciation Guild - really catchy shoegaze/chiptune mixup that is really great. Their albums are free for download from their site.
Devil sold his soul - one of the few post-hardcore groups that are actually interesting, worth checking out if you're into that sort of thing.
Do Make Say think - preeminent post rock band from canada. canada churns out some of the best post rock this decade
earshot - great rock band from illinois? the singer sounds a lot like M.J.Keenan from Tool.
Electric Wizard - FUCKING STONER DOOM DUDE
Explosions in the Sky - awesome post rock to fall asleep to. very emotional music.
Giant Squid - awesome sludge band out of somewhere in america. definitely check them out, really great stuff, the singer is amazing
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Wrote the book on Post rock. also from canada
Gojira - awesome death/grove metal band from france. very deep lyrics, from mars to sirius is one of my favorite metal albums of all time. pretty good album art to boot
Gordian Knot - One of the side projects of Sean Malone of Cynic. very good progressive rock stuff with a lot of guest appearances from various other bands.
Have a Nice Life - amazing shoegaze/industrial music ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE
Isis - when you think post-metal, you can't help but think of this group.
Katatonia - Death/Doom band that has progressed to playing more depressive Rock. all of it is top notch though. this is one of those bands in which the fans are always ranting and raving that their older stuff is better.
Massive Attack - Trip hop group that has a great discography. this group got me into appreciating electronic music. Do you like the intro theme to House? well this group does it.
Mogwai - another preeminent Post Rock band, but not as atmospheric as GY!BE.
My Bloody Valentine - Greatest Shoegaze/Dreampop group to grace the face of the planet. Get loveless, crank up the volume and enjoy wall of sound.
November's Doom - Great Death/Doom metal band. if you enjoyed Daylight Dies, you'll definitely love these guys.
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - just released their ST album. if you enjoy the shoegaze above, then this will not let you down. a bit more pop sounding, but great still.
Pelican - Best post-metal group. period. Isis may be the posterboys, but this is where its at.
A Silver Mt. Zion - great experimental rock group with members of GY!BE. thier first full album is a bit more experimental than 13 blues.
Silversun Pickups - Great shoegaze band. I have not removed their latest album off of repeat since it came out.
The Warlocks - Imagine if Thom Yorke hung out with stoners who worshipped Black Sabbath, and then Thom and those guys formed a band. well this is it.
We made God - Great Icelandic Post Rock/metal group. if you enjoy the Deftones, then this band is really worth checking out.
Wolves in the Throne Room - American Atmospheric Black Metal. the TROO KVLT crowd frowns on this band, but I think this group is one of the best Black Metal groups currently recording/touring.
Anathema - Great Doom metal band with a large discography. their older stuff isn't as good as some of their later stuff.
Balmorhea - Great neo-classical ambient band.
Below the Sea - another great Canadian Post-Rock band which stays at the fuzzier side, almost shoegaze-y
Bird From the Abyss - Finnish experimental Folk/Doom band. I've had this album on repeat ever since I found it. great stuff
Calder - Electronic/Post-Rock. the band sounds like they are heavily influenced by Sigur Ros.
Centenaire - French Folk Rock band, very interesting lyrics and vocals.
Diablo Swing Orchestra - Metal and Orchestra meet in a head-on collision, this gem emerges from the rubble.
Drudkh - Ukranian Black Metal, if you're not into black metal, they do have an entirely folk album called 'Songs of Grief and Solitude'
Elliott Smith - Singer-Songwriter in the 90's. some of the most depressing stuff you'll ever hear.
George Dorn Screams - they just released a new album this year. very good, dark rock from poland.
Gray Strawberries - epic post rock from Brazil
Hammock - ambient post-rock, great to relax to. awesome soundscaping.
Heirs - good blend of post-metal/hardcore from Australia.
Ihsahn - side project of the dude with the same name, great progressive/power metal. and that's rare coming from me, for I see power metal as cheese.
Krallice - Black metal project of the guitarist of behold the arctopus. almost listenable black metal
Mineral - 90's emo rock. when it was good and not some fad for scenesters.
mono - Japanese post rock band, recently came out with one of the best albums from the genre.
O'Death - catchy and deep folk/country. you might be thinking WHAT THE HELL? COUNTRY. just give it a listen
October Tide - short lived side project of Mike Akerfeldt and a few guys from katatonia, truly depressive metal.
Red Sparrows - great Post-Metal with a much softer side, leaning toward Post-Rock
Ride - One of the overlooked Shoegaze bands of the early 90's. great stuff, some of it has a jazz influence
Sculptured - Avant Garde metal side project of Don Anderson, the guitarist from agalloch.
Woburn House - only have one album to my knowledge, they're an american sludge band which is a good gateway to the genre because they have an ebb and flow to their music.
Yann Tiersen - Amazing neo-classical artist who is extremely active, he does a ton of collaborations and stuff. his discography is like 20+ albums
Let me know if you dig any of the stuff listed.

go go look up And She Prayed on myspace. theyre my close personal friends... theyre a pretty sweet hardcore band XD and theyre hilarious.
Its for the hipster cred, that's all. People look at my ipod and they don't know any of the bands.Wadders said:
My main reason is that i did not quite like the big bands out there, so want to know of some good lesser known ones. I only listen to 3 or 4 bands regularly.superbleeder12 said:
Fredrik Thordendal's Special Defects
This was a bonus song on the album Sol Niger Within (3.33 version).
The rest of the album basically sounds like a darker and heavier version of this.
Orange Sky - Yesterdays & Tomorrows
Rasta metal. Need I say more?
After Death
They claim to be death/black metal, but they're much lighter than all the stuff I've heard from that genre. They sound very "old-school"; they'd sound right in place in the 80's or 90's.
Of the five songs they're streaming, my favorite is Lords of the Black Path.
I'd have more suggestions, but I'm tired, hungry, and too lazy to finish. Also, about 90% of the rest of my suggestions make Shadows Fall sound like what I call "pussy rock", so I don't know if they'd fit in this thread.

Which of these do you like the most? Also, it'd help a lot if you had a particular genre or style of music in mind.Hail Fire 998 said:
I loves me some Ludo. They're a local band and they've got great stuff.
http://ludorock.com/default.aspx
Their album "Love Me Dead" can be found at most Target stores for like $9.00. Check em out. They rock and they're cute and funny. ^^

I see. Its just your OP only said they have to be low profile, and I was asking why that mattered? A good band is a good band, well known or not.Hail Fire 998 said:
