Hi. I'm new. 
I registered to these forums to ask for a suggestion from oh so knowledgable metal-gurus.
For the last few weeks, I've been looking for a rather specific type of music (and have been able to skim through lots of bands, thanks to wikipedia). I'd best get on with my criterions.
I must say beforehand that my knowledge in metal is kind of non-existent, so please excuse my newbieness when I use any metal terms in the wrong way.
Vocals: soft and very clean. Falsetto is cool too, I guess. In that respect, something like Mew or Muse.
Music: Dark, agressive, brooding. I can't really specify in anything other than that it shouldn't be too power metallic or symphonic metallic or whatever it is that makes the music.. umm.. Mike Oldfield-ish (such as Symphony X; and Nightwish, which keeps reminding me of Riverdance or other such nonsense).
And that's it. So basically, I'm asking for something with simple, soft, high-pitched vocals, yet cool, heavy, perhaps artistic music, which beats the every day nu-metal.
I believe that the song that would best suit the band that I would so much like to exist is First it Giveth by Queens of the Stone Age. QOTSA is indeed my favourite band. Additionally, a question, to prove my newbiess: why is QOTSA stoner rock rather than stoner metal? Where herein lies the different?
Thank you very much.
