Need some blind buys from The End records

[rms]

I'm going to grab a Titan Force cd there, but I don't want just 1 cd...figured i'd grab a few more, maybe 3-4 cd's total and give it a whirl. Anyone got some solid rec's from The End Records website ONLY? I'm down for any OSDM/Viking/Folk/Black/USPM/Thrash/Willing to try more Trad Doom....basically anything! just need some new bands to check out

 

[Killbot]

I don't know what you;ve already heard, but the following are all worth a look:

Nadja - Skin Turns To Glass
Ulver - Shadows of the Sun
Giant Squid - Metridium Fields
Any Epoch of Unlight release
Frantic Bleep - The Sense Apparatus

Warning! The Nadja, Ulver and Giant Squid releass are not metal, but do have distinct metal influences.

thanks for contributing but myspaced them all(cept the Drone band, totally hate that shit ) and didn't care for it

keep it comin'!

 

[Einherjar86]

Virgin Black

The only two albums I own are Sombre Romantic and Elegant... and Dying, but they're both great records. They play a kind of gothic/doom, symphonic influenced metal. They're really interesting, if you're into that kind of thing.

They also have a trilogy called the Reqiuem trilogy:
Pianissimo (completely classical record, with choir vocals)
Mezzo Forte (similar to Sombre Romantic and Elegant... and Dying)
Fortissimo (a heavier sound; more death/black metal influenced)

I don't know what you;ve already heard, but the following are all worth a look:

Nadja - Skin Turns To Glass
Ulver - Shadows of the Sun

I love these albums.

 

[Uncreation]

I second Virgin Black.

Novembers Doom (various albums, plus the first two albums have been remastered and have bonus tracks, and are available for pre-order)
Woods of Ypres

Well that's not really a blind buy if you sample the music before...

 

[rms]

true, but with all the shit out there, I aint blind buying anything

THANKS FOR CONTRIBUTING BEN_T

 

[The Ozzman]

Air Supply
Phil Collins
Dire Straits
something by Foreigner

 

[supseudonymous]

Sarcofago - I.N.R.I.
Fates Warning - Awaken The Guardian
Sabbat (UK) - Dreamweaver

Judging by your last.fm you should like these bands, but probably haven't heard them yet. These CD's are all in stock.

 

[rms]

Got the Sabbat but will check out the other 2

Is Fates Warning with the singer of Redemption? Prog band I think?

Not that particular album.

To replace the Sabbat rec., Sadus - Swallowed In Black.

 

[The Ozzman]

Sarcofago slays along with Fates Warning

Awaken the Guardian is epic as fuck

 

[Prog_Please]

I would check out the following bands.

Agalloch
Moonsorrow
Green Carnation (Light of day...)

 

[Einherjar86]

Moonsorrow were on Spinefarm, weren't they? I don't know about the others.

 

[rms]

I got like 5 moonsorrow albums as it is so rather find a new gem! and I kinda hate agalloch, incredibly boring

Don't call it a blind buy then...

Anyway here's a suggestions

FOREFATHER - Engla Tocyme

I think they have it...

 

[rms]

Got that forefather, thanks though, that Empryium band weirdly enough looked at them before you rec'd sounded cool but wasn't moved by the myspace tracks...will check out Helheim

 

[Ben_t]

Helheim - Jormundgand

I recommend that as well. Very good.

 

[rms]

I got that on my cart for next haul, I really liked the myspace tracks
