Disillusion (Back to Times of Splendor!!!)

I've always thought they were fairly well known, or atleast on most of the sites I go to.

 

[Words of Credence]

So many good ones...I'll just type in a few...some have been mentioned here before

Cathis Ord - http://www.myspace.com/cathisord

Thank you for this. Too bad there are only two songs.

 

[Wander]

^I have actually showed Cathis Ord to many people who like some sort of metal and they have all liked it.

 

[Ozzloaf]

I forgot Be'lakor...

 

[Ozzloaf]

I just found this amazing band, Nocturnus, and surprisingly few people have heard of them.

The Fall of Every Season

That's quite good ... and not that far away from Opeth. Slower, more doomish, but overall a similar sound and approach.

 

[Kenneth R.]

Unknown metal is such a great genre.

 

[Mannsør]

I would say :

In the Woods (Magistral)
Klabautamann (Unknown but talented)
Mar de Grises (Very skilled and creative)
Solefald (Great, the eclectif and versatile band)
Empyrium (Great, folk master, as Ulver for Norway)

The Angelic Process

I just discovered TAP...what a great album "Weighing Souls With Sand" is!!! In doing some research into these guys, I learned the man behind the band (Kris Angylus) injured his hand and couldn't play anymore, and the resulting depression (among other factors, I'm sure) drove him to suicide. What a damn shame, this man had some real talent and creativity.
