[Arcane Son]

Arcane Sun(only released 1 album, anyone who hasn't heard this get it by any means necessary, and I mean any means)

You know that album? A friend turned me onto it. I use to think we were the only 2 people in the world who had heard it. I was inspired and awed by that album so much so that it's where I pulled my alias from. Not many people know of that album. It has become a lost metal relic buried in time.

 

[Skepticism]

^To the above post. Yeah, I always wondered if your name was taken from that album, but yes I am another one of not so many people who have heard the album. It's definitely underated, and easily one the the best albums I have ever heard.

arctus

Or did you mean, "Arcturus"?

Either way, thanks for the promotion, man!

And also, to anyone reading this, check out Shadar Logoth's myspace page. They've got a demo out now that is really worth a listen. Especially boasting tracks like "In the Throneroom of our Enemy" and my personal favourite, "Of the Lanterns." These guys have a great atmosphere going on in their music.

Non-metal bands:

Camel, Garmarna, Pain, Riverside, Uriah Heep

Pain?

As in 'Hypocrisy-Tägtgren´s' Pain? I´d say there´s still quite a bit of
metal in it...

You're right, it does have some metal in it, but I feel the electronic/industrial overshadows it. But, it is there nonetheless. I'll fix my list for you.

lol the Wheel of Time band-name boom continues!

I've heard of Lanfear, a power metal act; Myrddraal, an Australian black metal band; and now Shadar Logoth. That's 3.

I'd be interested to hear some more though.
