Looking for ORIGINALITY

[Krilons Resa]

Lately, I have been listening to a lot of Maudlin of the Well, whom I recognize as one of the most original bands I have come across in a LONG time. When I encounter these types of bands who are, in a way, ahead of their time, so to speak, I rejoice to the thought that their is actually bands out there trying something different. Other mentions would be Arcturus, Farmakon, Ulver, My Dying Bride, Vehemence, Radiohead, Green Carnation (Light of Day, Day of Darkness), Today is The Day, Isis, Neurosis, etc...

Any other refreshing comments????

You covered all of my suggestions. maudlin is cool, though. Nice guys too!

What do you recommend from Maudlin?

 

[Krilons Resa]

Any of the 3...Each one has a different feel to it. Lots of twists and turns with a plethora of non-synthesized instruments.

MoTW has actually split and ex-members formed a band called Kayo Dot. Their album is coming out next month. It should be good...in the same vain as Maudlin.

 

[HarmonyDies....]

Sigh!

 

[Krilons Resa]

Shit, another post, lol.



I have to add Acid Bath.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Nokturnal Mortum

 

[ffanatic]

Fly Pan Am
Esmerine

Nokturnal Mortum

I have Goat Horns. Good album. Along the lines of black metal, I would also suggest Nargaroth.

Off to check out Sigh.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Mmmhmmmm...Nargaroth is some decent stuff.

Edit: I recommend you buy 'NeChrist' by Nokturnal Mortum.. It is fast and aggressive and they incoporate the folk instruments much better than previous albums. Great album.

Eh? I though it was the other way around. Did motW form from Kayo Dot?

Either way Choirs of the Eye is going to be one hell of an album.

 

[Disturbed4ntics]

I never could really get into motW or Kayo Dot. Am I not giving it enough time?

It's possible. I was completely blown away my first listen. Some people I know took longer to get into them.

Bethlehem is one of those bands that sticks out to me as original. They're fucking weird but cool nonetheless.

It took me a few listens to get into Bath/Leaving Your Body Map from motW. I reviewed them for an ezine and wanted to make sure I gave them a fair shake. The more time I spent with both of them, the more I liked them.

thats what i gathered???



anyways, ya it took me a lil while to get into motw. but i think it was due to me just playing em in the background and not really focusing on the music. i put it on one day and actually listened to it and was blown out of the water.

 

[Krilons Resa]

bethlehem are awesome. especially necare...the vocals raise the hairs on the back of my neck. lol

 

[Heavy Metal Samurai]

I saw a band recently called Noctiferia.

Slovenian or Slovakian I think.

They are strange, the music is like a mix of Opeth and My Dying Bride.

Hard to describe, it sounds like things that other bands have done before but not all together, takes a bit from here and a bit from there and throws it together to make something new, kind of like Black-Doom as opposed to MDB's Death-Doom

Check out the song "Fond Of Lies" for a taste.

I like this band called The Kovenant, the singer is from Dimmu Borgir and they have some really original stuff. they play kind of black/industrial metal which sounds really kool.
