Lesser known band recognition

[mntwinsfan]

I've only heard the first one, but it's excellent.

 

[Peghead]

For progressive metal you need go no further than Surfaces from Brighton in the UK.

Great bunch of lads, a really fresh sound (to say they recorded in their mates' basement) and freakin awesome live to boot

 

[beast from the east]

Cathis Ord
Ea!

 

[Vathek]

Hey y'all, Vathek here...

Blatherskite have released "Where the Wasteland Ends", an hour long journey through disgust into the infinite. Accompanying this is a 16 page comic book composed by Tim Lim, Brendan Davie and Timothy Lamont. A heavy, soulful and challenging album, with touches of industrial giving it a post apocalyptic edge.

Enter the Wasteland

[Pyro Stick]

Smorzando - Smrad. One of my favourite ambient black metal releases and its his only release, limited to 200 tapes.

 

[Avigrus]

Alchemist;

3 of my favourite albums ever.

 

[cannibal corpse]

I second Aspid as well. These are all excellent too:

Vuvr
Scythe
Rippikoulu
Razormaze (their first full-length hasn't been out that long but unfortunately they haven't gotten nearly enough recognition yet)
Obliveon

 

[Rotnroll]

HAVOK

 

[Eligos]

Hey I'm from Colorado too!

But I'd praise the following over Havok any day:

Cobalt
Velnias
Clinging to the Trees of a Forest Fire
Acheronian Dirge
Nightbringer
Scalafrea
Skeleton of God
Embryonic Devourment
Allegaeon
Kastigation
Recondite
Try Redemption

 

[A Journeys End]

If I don't see more people worshipping those two In-Quest albums soon I'll be sad.

you'll probably be even more sad to find out that I own and like them

 

[A Journeys End]

lesser known bands huh? I've got a shitload of that, I don't think there was a cd from 1995-2002 I didn't purchase.


death/thrash from Poland



black/death from Spain. Both albums are great.



just an EP, but good nonetheless.



Weakling and Ulysses Siren members.



This Canadian band never gets any love.



I like this.
