Most promising metalband of 2004?

[ApocalypseNL]

I want to know what you guys and girls think of the most promising metalband of 2004...

What is in your opinion this band and why? (Besides Hypo offcourse )

Altough i like the more death-oriented metal, i think that Killswitch Engage and Chimaira are very promising bands, since they can put metal back on the map again :Spin:

 

[NAD]

Drudkh. Autumn Aurora is incredible, and they have a second album coming out later this year. Hardworking and chock full of ass kickery, what more can you ask for? :Spin:

Atmospheric black metal band from the Ukraine, for those unfamiliar with them.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Opeth, theyr currently the best swedish metal band and have a new album in the works which should kick some serious ass

 

[DragonLady1]

killswitch engage is a good choice

[ApocalypseNL]

A long list...

Is it that obvious?

I am listening to Evergrey at the moment, and wow........once again blown away! This one (The inner circle) is also going to be at my toplist this year

 

[really******loud]

Opeth is moving forward in massive strides but a band thats very over looked is Desire - Horendus CD .

 

[AtTheGates2099]

OPETH is mediocre and slightly monotonous in their riffs. Not much variety either. I like them and own all albums, I just don't think they're the greatest....

VEHEMENCE HAS MY VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!! By far one of the most unique melodic metal bands with the sickest brutal edge ever. "God was created" is the most pure masterpiece!!!!!!

 

[AtTheGates2099]

Other honorable mentions: CALLENISH CIRCLE, HIMSA, and DIMENSION ZERO

 

[Reign in Acai]

Opeth are fucking incredible! Monotonous riffs? That's the funniest comment I have ever heard.

Chimaira & KSE fucking suck. I hate metalcore

The most promising band of 2004 will go to orphaned land or Into Eternity

 

[DragonLady1]

I can agree with Evergrey (Inner Circle is just great!) and INTO ETERNITY!!!!!!!!!!!! fucking rules!

 

[AtTheGates2099]

Another good one.... THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER.....

I admit, there image is gay, they look like emo-hardcore kids. But I'm sorry this band is anything BUT emo-hardcore. "Unhallowed" make "Reign in blood" look like girls with lollypops.

One of the fastest, most brutal, yet melodic at times. Fuckin insane band. And they fuckin kill live!!!!!

I'd also, have to add AFTER FOREVER on my list of new fav's....True, it's goth metal, but it's really underrated. I'm surprised they haven't topped My Dying Brides level yet.

 

[DragonLady1]

after forever... dont like the voice, dunno, its too within temptation style...
but talking bout gothic metal, check out darkwell www.darkwell.org they are killer with their new singer, it rocks!!!
and flowing tears from germany rule too

Are you joking!? That Unhallowed album is a blatant Slaughter of the Soul ripoff. Comparing that to Reign in Blood, an album that came SEVENTEEN YEARS beforehand and influenced probably every death metal album done since, is ridiculous. Also, if you think they are "one of the fastest" you don't listen to fast music.

I don't hate the band or anything, but they are certainly not original and honestly, I only listened to their album about 5 times before tossing it into some corner.

 

[really******loud]

As you can see above I fucken love Opeth. I started writing in their board 6 months ago, but I've noticed every thread written has someone putting down Opeth or another fan. Its a different thing to state your opinion but to just post to bag someone isn't respectful, and I don't see it anywhere else like this board etc whats up with them? You guys will tell each other to get fucked - but you still have respect for each others opinion and you don't try to rip each others thread apart!!! STAY METAL \m/\m/ hey has anyone ever heard Desire http://www.zenial.nl/html/desire.htm let me know what you think, its like a Goth/doom/death type of metal?

 

[Lucifer_nephilim]

yeah baby Black Dahlia Murder kick serious ass....saw em at donington last month, big respect! potheaded brutality!!!!

 

[melaine]

hi!! there someone inside!!!??

 

[IconOfSin]

Black Dahlia Murder are a really great band, i don't know about the "emo" look, i saw them live twice last week and they looked nothing like emo kids lol, but they also don't look like the type to be playing that kind of music but who cares looks don't mean anything it's how they play.
there are alot of great choicees of bands listed by you people that i really enjoy, such as Dimension Zero, Into Eternity etc.. not so sure about KsE though, don't hate them but not really a fan of them or anything metalcore, but if you can explan how they can be i am intersted for an opinion

Opeth is a very good chioce also, their work is just amazing and every album is just "wow", no other words to discribe it.

but you can't really "truely" know who the most promising band metalband of "two zero zero four" since there's alot of talent out there that can never disapoint us, but again some great choices \m/

I'll admit they're not one of the most original bands in the world, but they pull it off quite well. I guess this style just doesn't float your boat.....understandable, but I still like 'em.

K....maybe they aren't "the fastest" but they top the Reign In Blood speed as well as top Opeth, Into Eternity, and KSE in speed.....Again, I'm only talking about speed.

As far as me not listening to fast music?.....TWO WORDS, Agoraphobic Nosebleed!!!!!! It doesn't get any faster than that, litterally.....
