Music For Me To Check Out?

[DemonKnight5150]

Hey guys, I'm interested in checking out some new music. I've been listening to Nevermore everyday for god knows how long and want to check out some other stuff.

I'm not really into death or speed metal so much.

I absolutely LOVE orchestra pieces and really like bands that incorporate orchestral arrangements into their work. Adagio is a band that I really like but I'm not very much into gay power metal type stuff like Dragonforce. uke:

So please, if you would, list some bands for me to check out so I can broaden my musical range. Thanks in advance.

I absolutely LOVE orchestra pieces and really like bands that incorporate orchestral arrangements into their work.

Hollenthon, (newer) Dimmu Borgir, and (early) Children of Bodom have lots of orchestral shit. get used to the vocals or be damned to a life of gay powermetal.

Winds and Haggard

COB.....I really can't stand them. There was a small period of about a month where I liked them, but now.....no.

Dimmu Borgir....their older material was better for me HOWEVER I really did like Progenies and Leeches Among Us (is that even right?) off of DCA. Progenies really has the orchestral thing down IN MY OPINION.

I also really like folk music, prog, and even Yanni....Yes, I fucking said Yanni. Listen to his arrangements.

I think Trans-Siberian Orchestra might be up your alley (if you haven't heard of them already). Check out Muse as well. They're not metal, but brilliant nontheless.

I own all of TSO's albums and have seen them live twice at the Idaho Center. Have heard of Muse but never listened to them. I'll definitely check em out.

 

[Calamitas1786]

Therion and Circus Maximus are worth a listen as well.

I love Therion.

Yes, Will, I will check out Winds. I've heard nothing but good things about them and liked the sound clip I heard (although it was a shitty clip on cduniverse ).

This thread title reminded me of the "You've got mail! ...For me to poop on" skit from Conan.

 

[Calamitas1786]

Winds definatley reminds me of Therion in places. You should like them, you should.

I just received this cd the other day OutWorld . Check them out they are pretty freakin good. The singer is a little over the top at times, but still kills.

Also, another good cd I just got is To-Mera
