Death - Individual Thought Patterns - I've gotten past the vocals and it's entirely amazing.
Great line up - Chuck Schuldiner, Gene Hoglan, Steve DiGorgio - an embarrassing amount of talent on that album.

Don't forget Andy LaRocque!

Dave Gold from Woods of Ypres pointed me in the direction of AYREON.. after purchasing their latest release.. I am utterly floored at the musicianship and giant collaborative effort of everyone involved

stunning epic double disc

 

[Mentok]

Try The Human Equation by Ayreon, badass cd and his best imo.

Shining - V Halmstad

anyone else into Shining?

I really like depressive/suicidal black metal but I haven't been that impressed by what I've heard from Shining

 

[The Butt]

I recently got Deicide's The Stench of Redemption (the first Deicide album I've heard thus far), and I thought it was amazing, even after only the first listen.

It's a great album! But not their best. Your next move is to acquire the first 3 Deicide albums which while noticeably different from Stench are actually better. Can't wait for the new album in April! DEICIDE FUCK YEAH!

 

[The Ozzman]

Once Upon The Cross is my favorite from Deicide

 

[oshustho_mogoj]

Devian's debut album Ninewinged Serpent \m/

 

[Thoth-Amon]

Once Upon The Cross is my favorite from Deicide

Sounds like you need to get "Into the Electric Castle". Best album ever conceived, bar none.

 

[JontRevolting]

Avantasia-The Scarecrow

 

[chuj666]

Evocation

 

[Caecius]

Warbringer - War Without End
Blotted Science - The Machinations of Dementia
Byzantine - Oblivion Beckons

 

[Life Sucks]

Deathevokation - Chalice of the Ages

For some reason, this band sounds very European, despite being American. And the vocalist even sounds like he has a European accent, which is very strange.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Meshuggah - Obzen
Car_Bomb - Centralia

Same here, it also blew me away. Guitar work is fucking awesome.

I'll try their previous albums, as you guys recommended.

What about Vital Remains? I bought their last one and, after a first spin, it didn't impress me at all.

 

[DarkBliss]

Magma
Both albums I've heard from them.(Mekhanik Destruktiw Kommandoh and Udu Wudu) Pretty unusual music.
