Great bands that get no attention.

[MetalAges]

Oops you sure did.

Ok, well, Ebony Ark for me! Great female led Power/Progressive band with some balls to it. http://www.ebonyark.com/

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

She really is a good singer. She in any other bands?

 

[hibernal_dream]

Title says it all.

Ebony Tears

Yeah, what the hell happened to these guys? Their debut was the shit, but every subsequent album was 100X more awful than the previous.

I'd add -

Thirdmoon
Bloodthorn
And Oceans

 

[Cuiden-A-Los-Ninos]

Happy Mother Fucking Camper

 

[entanglement]

mournful congregation - funeral doom

They're certainly not underrated in the funeral metal scene.

Agreed about mechanical poet.

 

[Cythraul]

My stock answer: Nachtmystium!

YEAH THEY'RE GOOD.

 

[Personified Hatred]

Bloodthorn
Sepulchral Sect
Abysmal Grief (perhaps it's better if they go on getting no attention)
Deathector (split-up)
Suicidal Hold (split-up)
In Fieri (split-up)

Most of the bands I mentionned are ultra-underground, but really worthwhile.

 

[Disarmonia_Mundi]

Hmmmm I'd like to add

Soulscar (Top 2 or 3 best Melodic Death Metal bands in the world, and they are from CANADA!)

Lyzanxia *Honestly how can no one talk about these guys, they are the only "Thrash"-ish band I listen to and they are fucking insanely good*

Blind Stare (Possibly the best Melodic Death metal band right now, they mix in orchestral elements and its insanely well done)

 

[stefan86]

Pathos (Swe)

They do a damn good heavy take on Prog Metal in the vain of Nevermore, Communic etc. The "Katharsis" album totally kills.

 

[Belligerent]

Anathema get plenty of attention. Their metal albums are some of the most popular doomdeath next to My Dying Bride, and they probably got even more popular once they stopped playing metal. As for Enslaved, they are widely liked on other message boards that I post at as well, and it seems that all black metal fans agree that their early material was very good. I agree that Hatesphere are relatively unknown. I've heard them before, but for some reason have not bothered to really check them out.

try "the sickness within" by hatesphere
the album has some serious energy

 

[Astrum]

Bloodthorn

Another good one. They play shit black/death nowadays, but their black metal album was great. March To War is one of my favorite songs of all time.

 

[Xorv]

Yeah, what the hell happened to these guys? Their debut was the shit, but every subsequent album was 100X more awful than the previous.

I'd add -

Thirdmoon
Bloodthorn
And Oceans

I only heard the first two, and I say they were both good.

 

[Susperia]

SuidAkra (Honestly these guys are one of the best if not best folk bands ever, and they get hardly ANY attention except for when I brought them up around here and now a few of UM posters are into them, but they are rather unknown and I DONT KNOW HOW!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Because they're dumb.

 

[RedinTheSky]

You rule for posting this. I used to have this band but lost my disc. Now that I remember their name I can get more.

 

[Carcassian]

mournful congregation - funeral doom
runemagick - death metal

Runemagick. Good fucking call, dude

 

[Disarmonia_Mundi]

Because they're dumb.

Your music taste is abyssmal.

Long live SuidAkra \m/ !!

 

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

holy shit! Coming from VVVVVVVVVVVVVVV thats a compliment. Thank you for not closing this like the others. Let me kiss your feet.

Ha ha! I guess even you can be a good poster sometimes...

Anyone here ever heard Cirith Gorgor? Their song, Winter Embraces Lands Beyond, is one of my favorite BM songs EVER. GET IT (and the whole album which isn't as good comparatively, but still...it's called Onwards To The Spectral Defile).

 

[Xorv]

Trollfest, get no notice except by me. I <3 THE TROLLS.!!!! 1337!!!!!

 

[Mort Divine]

Everyone seems to know them by name but never by music, The 3rd and the Mortal.

 

[Seditious]

Title says it all.

Ebony Tears
catamenia
rain fell within
shaman
swallow the sun


eh I'm most likely wrong 'bout the last one. Their debut is THE

Swallow the Sun doesn't deserve to be called a 'great band'.

their new album was but a b-side yawnfest of their first album.

Saturnus own them!


I love Catamenia though, they seem to be doing well enough for themselves.


I never hear any hype about Cryptic Wintermoon. I love that shit! (Into Ashes, The Shadowkeep, When Daylight Dies, Where The Oceans Meet Eternity <-- amazing songs)
