Having trouble finding new bands I like lately =/

[speed]

If you need bands to work out to- I suggest early Fear Factory, SAmael- especially Eternal, pre roots Sepultura, Strapping Young Lad, Slayer, Testaments the Gathering, Hypocrisy. Really anything with rerally strong drumming- and good beats- but it needs to be somewhat melodic- if you ask me.

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

If Farmakon is mentioned, also Thales should have the honour... Dark Tranquillity and Opeth influnenced band.

Dude, forget the melody plagued Swedish stuff. It's for girls and newbies. You've been listening to metal long enough to graduate to the next level.

Aeternus, Acid Bath, Akercocke, Arcane Sun, Behemoth, Bolt Thrower, Borknagar, Carcass, The Chasm, Enslaved, Geasa, Graveland, Immolation, In the Woods..., Primordial, Red Harvest, Sigh, Summoning.

If you're into hardcore/metalcore at all, let me know. Myself and others can point you in the right direction. This music is much better for working out.
