I need some suggestions so perhaps some of you guys can reference your libraries. Can you point me in the right direction for bands that define:
--- "Life After Rust in Peace" ---
I'm essentially looking for bands that resemble the early Megadeth/Annihilator sound. Musical traits would include:
- clean vocals (or thrash vocals) but not death, screams, or shoutcore
- speed & technical RIFF precision
- heaps of melody
- lead solos and fills all over the place
The closest I can get to is stuff like Carcass' "Heartwork" or even Arch Enemy's "Burning Bridges", but of course, the vocals aren't clean. Clean vocals are essential.
When I think of clean vocals, I can think of Gamma Ray's "Land of the Free" and other random euro-power metal bands, but they're not 'dirty' or 'snarly' enough, if that makes sense.
So not melodic death and not power metal. Something in between. Am I asking for too much? What can you think of?
