Great bands that get no attention.

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)

Aye Cryptic Wintermoon own. :rock: I've been into them for a few years now.

ill take the daiquiri over the australian beer

Myrddraal
Sigrblot
Arcane Sun

Suidakra is OK, but nothing all that special.
 
For me, the underrated stuff includes Nevermore, Evergrey, Heavenly, Luca Turilli's Dreamquest (Interesting experiment) Old Sepultura (Thrash gods for their first 5 albums), Communic, Outworld (only released one album though), etc. Excluding this messageboard, where these bands may get recognition, I do not think other sites fully appreciate them.

And as far as 'real life' is concerned, even popular metal bands like Opeth, Blind Guardian, Pain of Salvation, Symphony X, etc. are underrated...'cause my friends are not into metal (Except for the 'greatest metal band eva'...Metallica).
 
Maybe it's because they are doom metal yet their name makes people think they are brutal death metal?

That and Australian bands tend not to get the amount of attention they deserve.

To true.

And I'd also like to give Astriaal a mention. To be honest I don't know how well known they are internationally... but they fucking own and I felt like name dropping. :rock:
