Good Polish Metal?

[IcemanJ256]

Looking through my collection, I realized I don't have any bands at all from Poland, and it seems like a decently popular country for it. (Trying to collect music from as many countries as I can) What are some good Polish metal bands, I dont really like totally brutal black/death, something more progressive/melodic. I have heard some Decapitated songs and im not too crazy about em

 

[Life Sucks]

Perhaps try Graveland. They are black metal, but they are not brutal at all, and quite melodic.

 

[IcemanJ256]

thanks, ill check em out. any websites where i can download songs? otherwise, i'll try DC.

 

[no country for old wainds]

I did a list of good Polish BM bands recently on another board, so I'll quickly paste here:
Behemoth
Dark Fury
Fullmoon
Galgenberg
Graveland
Infernum (Darken's band, not the other one)
Kataxu
Ohtar
Sacreligium
Thor's Hammer
Thunderbolt
Veles
Venedae

 

[andrew_plamondon]

I like Lux Occulta, especially their last album, which is not true kult black metal, but since you like more progressive music, you should like them.

 

[Terrifyer]

check out Yattering if you dig Brutal kinda techy death metal

 

[Slayed Necros]

Gontyna Kry.

 

[The Grimace]

Uhhh.... fucking Vader!?

 

[halwaya]

:hotjump:

Decapitation, Abused Majesty, Lost Soul, Hate, Behemoth, Crionics, Yattering, Vader, Devilyn, Hell-Born... etc.etc.etc.

Poland has so many good bands.. so you should improve your collection!

 

[Henrik Main]

Vader
Dies Irae
Behemoth
Decapitated
Yattering
Hate
Graveland

All are death metal, except Graveland, who perform black metal (as several people already stated).

 

[Oceanic Motion]

Esqarial - Thrashy proggy metal.

 

[Henrik Main]

Oh, and Vesania's "Firefrost Arcanum" is a very decent Polish BM record. Think "ITNE" and "ATTWAD" era Emperor meeting Behemoth.

 

[stefan86]

Vader
Behemoth
Decapitated
Dies Irae

thats some nice stuff

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Definitely Gontyna Kry. Seconded.
