CD collection is getting stale........

[Waning Moon]

Need to find new bands to listen to, got loads of CD's in my collection that i love but theres nothing quite like finding an awesome band that youve never heard before and getting excited about their back catalogue. Obviously Watershed will be along soon, but to fill the gap, anyone want to recommend some bands for me to check out? i listen to anything really, any kind of vox and guitars, heavy, soft, and everything in between. cheers!

I recommend Thales. Really nice bass lines, awesome riffs and great acoustic parts.

Anything by Arcturus. I prefer The Sham Mirrors, but I think a lot of people would recommend Aspera Hiems Symfonia which is incredible as well. Either way, you can't go wrong! I'd also say check out Bergtatt or Kveldssanger by Ulver since it definitely meets your criteria (hard, soft, good vox).

First of all you should check out everything related to devin townsend (mainly his solo work, the devin townsend band, strapping young lad). Other bands: gojira, amorphis, cult of luna, isis, no-man, between the buried and me, meshuggah, goblin, spiritual beggars, 3, dredg, cynic, kuha., kuolleet intiaanit, god is an astronaut etc. etc.

Rock (mainly prog) : Porcupine Tree, Spock's Beard, Blackfield, Circulus (amazing psych/folk/prog band)

Check out Agalloch's The Mantle and Pale Folklore. Its great folk and ambient stuff.

but once you do..you'll have to fight the depression and urge to kill yourself so you should listen to some Cat Stevens.

Sorry I couldn't resist. I admire you for not getting mad about it like some people around here.
But I still think you should listen to Cat Stevens, he's good.

Belphegor, Deathspell Omega, Negura Bunget, Ulver, Borknagar, Arcturus...

 

[BefriendedUnit]

Yeah, Cat Stevens.
