Having trouble finding new bands I like lately =/

[DarkFifl]

My friends (online as the hardest music my offline friends listen to is disturbed) are saying I'm wierd with my tastes and I guess I am.

Lately they have reccomended Satryicon, At the Gates and immortal but I so far havn't really liked anything I've heard of them so been hesitant to buy their cds.

So far I really like:
Dark Tranquility, (Only have haven and Projector)
Opeth (have all)
Dimmu Borgir (only have Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropy)
Deathstars
Early Anathema and Katatonia
Agalloch (all)
Lacuna Coil
Some Testament

I feel like such a newbie in the genre but love it, only been listening for a little over a year as it was just introduced to me when I was in Afganistan. My friends say my tastes are really spread out and wierd so they can't think of any other reccomendations.

Anyone have any reccomendations that are along these lines? I really like the deep growls in Opeth and Dark tranquility. The agressiveness really pumps me up when I work out.

Thanks in Advance

Also side note, that piano/organ in the newest Dimmu Borgir video is pretty fuckin cool =p

Gardens of Gehenna, Bethlehem are pretty fucking awesome, if you can try to hear them

 

[Psychonaut]

Bethlehem? Kind of a rough "starter-group", eh?

You could try some Amon Amarth, Bathory (viking ones for me), early Cradle of Filth (Dusk or Vempire), My Dying Bride, or Tristania. You are kind of scattered...

 

[Reign in Acai]

If you want some starters in the field of met tal

Fucking go get in flames- colony! \m/
dark tranquility- damage done, or gallery both kick serious asss
soilwork- predators portrait kicks maja osshole. Grand Failure Anthem is an outstanding track

Iced Earth- Alive in Athens

 

[Petethedrummer]

Yeah, i agree with the in flames. They're older stuff will suit your taste more though, so colony is a good choice.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Vehemence

 

[DarkFifl]

Holy shit! How did I forget inflames >< I feel like an idiot now

Hell ya Colony kicks ass ! Love Swim and Suburban me.


Love Whoracle (Jester Script Transfigured mostly ) and Clayman

Havn't got into Reroute to remain much yet.

 

[Ravnanger]

[DarkFifl]

do they listen to metal in afghanistan? he he

haha no another soldier I met there turned me on to it, when he heard me listening to Orion from Master of Puppets.
Only music I heard in afganistan was the prayer call alibabaoobieloobie smack your head on the ground shit.

I guess thats kinda like head bangin

 

[MightyDrynwhyl]

hey Bethlehem isnt too harsh of a start...especially when you like early Katatonia kind of stuff..its not like i said "hey go check out dISEMBOWELMENT" lol well either way check out Deinonychus, Children Of Bodom, maudlin of the Well, Aarni, and Empyrium

 

[LuminousAether]

From what you like, you'll love Ulver - Bergtatt

Also, try Empyrium, Forest of Shadows, Novembre, Tristania (especially Widow's Weeds), Trail of Tears, and Rapture.

 

[Niklas]

Morbid Angel, Vital Remains, In Flames, Soilwork?

 

[Stondis]

If you like Opeth you should check out Farmakon (they have a forum here) the vocals and guitars have an Opeth influence but they (Farmakon) are a lot crazier than Opeth

 

[Reign in Acai]

darkfifl. Suburban me and swim are from the cd "clayman" not colony. You mightve mixed them up?

 

[Flaming Death]

novembre

 

[Mayh]

You´ll have to get Dark Tranguillity´s The Gallery... oh man that album is so great.
Novembre - everything
Enslaved - Below the lights, Monumension !!
Rapture - Futile
