You dudes are hilarious...
C'mon: Morbosidad, Ignivomous, Hornets of The Pogrom, Necrovation - this is like Spinal Tap revisited over here...
First thing - if a band can't even come up with a cool name, then I don't want to listen!
Second, I listened to a lot of these in myspace, and - I axe ya - what makes even ONE of these wanna-be Opeth's worth my time, or dare I say yours?
I like more genres than this one - of course I love Opeth and Katatonia, but I don't need to go chasing down 20 other bands that sound just like them.
This reminds me of the 80's - just when you had some cool new sounds, along comes Skid Row, Poison and the rest to fuck it all up...
Anyways, try these out for size (not all new this year but in the last 12 months):
- Untrue by Burial
- Death Is This Communion by High On Fire
- Saturdays = Youth by M83
- The Coast Explodes by Mammatus
- Precambrian by The Ocean
- To The Nameless Dead by Primordial
- Grindstone by Shining
- Frames by Oceansize
I'm trying to save your souls from the burning flames of mediocrity ... ha ha
