Bands you should have heard by now...but haven't

[Evan84]

can you not post till the album after reveries? thx

I agree

 

[Dreadful]

I haven't heard the new Darkane - Layers of Lies yet...I only own Rusted Angel the original version and have the others downloaded. I love Lawrence Mackrory.

@ fhare:

Someone else on this forum admits to liking Atreyu?

Heh, winamp was on shuffle, but I do like that song at least.

 

[NFU]

most classic bands are just that....classic.

if you dont like them, your taste level is probably less than ideal. if thats the case, then i feel bad for you.

 

[Evan84]

Mostly classic metal, like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, for example.

They are truly horrible.

 

[Forest of Åsatrú]

I've heard so many great things about the and Agalloch but I haven't been able to find anything on them. Can someone find me a link or anything to where I can hear atleast one song of theirs?

That's a very immature thing to say.

^I see nothing wrong with this, especially if you have so much creative and interesting stuff out now days, those bands can seem pretty boring, which they pretty much are.

Frank Zappa is definitly one I still need to check out.

 

[Profanity]

Look at classic bands like Sabbath and Priest, the leading force in Metal and are still proving they're the best even today.

You will never beat the classic 80's bands (Venom, Maiden, Kreator, Slayer, Deat, Sepultura)

Opeth, Opeth, Opeth, Opeth, Opeth, etc...

Though I am not sure how Opeth compares to Deat.

^I like my songs like I like my women... full of melody (in the bedroom)

 

[Arnold Layne]

i strongly encourage you to do this! try starting out with over-nite sensation, or if you're more into instrumentals then try hot rats

Ive been meaning to check out Zappa for ages. But never knew where to start (being a very very prolific artist), ill check out hot rats. Thanks

 

[mylovedenied]

Pantera, Megadeth. I know next to nothing about both of them.

 

[NFU]

i wouldnt worry about checking out pantera necessarily...unless youre dying to.

megadeths early releases are decent, so check those out someday.

 

[NeverIsForever]

I'm more or less in agreement with Evan84--a lot of 'classic' bands are shit, or at least they seem that way to me. Maybe it's because I got into metal somewhat backwards--hearing more recent stuff first. Bands like Black Sabbath and Megadeth don't do all that much for me--I'm sure they were quite original in their day but when compared to bands like Opeth and My Dying Bride, for me there isn't much contest.

 

[Andy87]

Dimmu Borgir, Ayreon, 3 inches of blood, bloodbath(who hasnt heard of this!!), nile.

some older stuff... led zeppelin
