Insomnium / Mercenary / Green Carnation

[EvilVince]

Just got into these 3 great bands thanks to this board. I think they were all listed in a lot of people's top ten of 2006 lists (Especially that Denmark guy, thank you). Anyways, I downloaded a bunch of songs and was very impressed, so I went and bought ALL of the bands' CDs. Insomnium sounds like early Amorphis, and Green Carnation sounds great too. Really my type of music. And Mercenary sounds like Nevermore, except GOOD. Awesome bands.

nevermore but good?? what exactly the hell do you mean by that tasteless and very wrong remark??! heh well think what ya want but you are most certainly wrong. new mercenary is definitely good although I haven't givin it much of a listen yet. Listen to a song called writings on the wall by green carnation

Oh, well I don't like Nevermore very much. I think they're pretty generic. I think Mercenary is more like an underground version of them. I also discovered a band called Wintersun. They're fucking awesome!

I can understand if you just dont like nevermore but to tell you the honest truth mercenery is definitely more generic than nevermore no questions asked. You should hear dreaming neon black or godless endeavor in their entirety.

 

[i aint play this]

Sweet jesus, nevermore is generic now?

GREEN CARNATION!!!!!!!!!

now...Pain of Salvation...Go!

 

[LifeDepraved]

Generic?!?!?!!? I don't think I read that right...:O


You meant FUCKING BLOODY BRILLIANT! .... I think....

 

[BlueSky]

yes definitely not generic at all

 

[Shamus]

now...Pain of Salvation...Go!

Green Carnation are pretty good, I've never really gotten intrigued by Insomnium and Mercenary just flat out sucks

 

[Hobo]

Green Carnation are pretty good

Correction, they are among the best bands ever.

Hah, alrighty then I've mostly listened to "The Quiet Offspring" and "The Acoustic Verses". Both are good, but their infinitely best song has to be "The Burden Is Mine.. Alone". Almost Katatonia class on that dose of depression.

Wrong, Light of Day, Day of Darkness, thanks. 1:00:06 in length, and just an amazing fucking song, and I guess you could say album.

Check Insomnium if you like the old Sentenced(Amok and similar melodic style)...I think they're much better than the old Sentenced...This band is the new king of metal

 

[valerus]

I like these guys too. Nice find.
