British Bands

[Doom]

Apart from the obvious one's (MDB, Anathema etc.) I really don't listen to (or know) that many British bands. Especially newer ones. Can you guys name some, and give a short description of what they sound like?? I know there was a similar thread on this board a while back, but that was mostly the best known one's.

A couple of names I've heard recently are Ship of Fools and The Enchanted. Are these any good?? I'm mostly into melodic metal (vague, I know).

 

[Cruel Humanity]

i have a very old ship of fools album ... it's not very metal but it is very very good.

other new UK bands thats need your support ???

antimatter (ex anathema) http://www.antimatter.tk/
Cruel Humanity http://www.cruelhumanity.com

 

[Kozmos]

OK. A perfect opportunity to post my list of UK "underground" bands who's sites i am aware of.

The Enchanted are the best band in the country (bar MDB) IMO. If you like melodic metal then you should really also check out Evanesce, Vae Solis & Phallicide.

And whatever you do don't miss out on Skaldic Curse!

I've heard a bit of Antimatter. I got that live acoustic stuff they put up for d/l and that was amazing, but the only 1 I've got from the studio album is "Psalms" which didn't impress me that much. I guess "Cruel Humanity" is your band. I'll have a listen

Thanks for the list Kozmos! I've heard of quite a few of them, just not heard most of them. I'll try and have a listen to a few later and post my thoughts.

Thanks again

I personally like Biomechanical!!! They aren't Melodic Death. They are a cross between Judas Priest and Machine Head. At least to my ears.

Hey Kozmos, cheers for the props, but I'd like to inform everyone that Phallicide.co.uk is down, has been for a long time, and it's looking permanent. In the meantime, you can check us out at http://www.mp3.com/phallicide or if you're inn the area at the Peel in Kingston on January 25th, with Desolation (hi Stu), The Enchanted, Slaughter of Souls and a bunch of others. Check out http://www.winterchaos.co.uk for details.

Cool, I didn't realise it has turned into a kind of mini-tour. I like the look of the way this has been organised, with the dedicated website etc.

It's a really good mix of bands. I look forward to the 25th

 

[veil the sky]

yeh hi tim. met up with your fellow bristol metallers kachana the other day. good lads!

see you in a few weeks!

 

[TimPhallicide]

Yeah, Shieldy is one sick motherfucker on the bass!!!! See you in two weeks Stu!

 

[veil the sky]

hehe yeh! he has the most ridiculously oversized bass rack setup ever seen in the world of heavy metal......

I personally like Biomechanical!!! They aren't Melodic Death. They are a cross between Judas Priest and Machine Head. At least to my ears.

Biomechanical are the best u.k band at the moment , with Shadowkeep ...probably they are equal ...
they are the future of metal in my opinion
i consider their style a mixture of queensryche (operation mindcrime era) , pantera, priest, with u.s.a. power metal touch
their singer is S-U-P-E-R-B-E.
and he is Greek hurray ..
so for british bands in general ...apart from the tons of older ones that are all music monuments (maiden, priest, motorhead, saxon etc) ...check out
Solstice (r.i.p.)
Skyclad
Shadowkeep
Threshold
these are mainly my favourites.

 

[TimPhallicide]

'New Dark Age' by Solstice is one of the unsung classics of British Metal in my opinion. Fucking awesome.

 

[Wanderingblade]

Skyclad and Phallicide are the two names I noticed in passing that you should either know or be shot

 

[IOfTheStorm]

yes Solstice were so great..
but no wonder why they ended their history ..they played a music that few listen to it now...
