need some new bands...any help?

[LivingCadaver]

just listen to Six Feet Under, Kittie and Brujeria, that's the next step in the good direction...

after that listen to real death metal: Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, Dying Fetus, Cephalic Carnage, Nile, Dark Tranquility, Belphegor, Amon Amarth, Malevolant Creation, the Crown, Neuraxis, Obituary, etc.

I would probably rather listen to the new Evanescence song 25 times.

 

[Blacken the angel]

So far I've been listening to Slipknot, Pantera, Disturbed, Hatebreed, and Killswitch Engage. I know it's not much, which is why I'm here. Can you give me some bands that sound similar to any of these?

Trivium
A Valantine for my bullet
As I lay dying



EDIT: Just search emo metal.

 

[Matt]

I'm sorry, I'll reccomend something shitty like Trivium next time...

Trivium is good to introduce someone into a heavier genre of music, you cannot just jump right into something.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

this guy is going through the usual process (that I went through and I'm sure many here went through)

check out

bloodbath
behemoth
metallica
megadeth
kreator
sodom
slayer
hypocrisy
mastodon

you'll enjoy those bands

Reccomending Trivium bears the risk of leading the reccomendee down the wrong paths. It is better to reccomend bands who used to be tops in their genres but play a more mainstream style in modern days.

If you want him to start a path down Black Metal Lane, start him off with Dimmu Borgir.

If you want him to start a path down Death Metal Lane, start him off with In Flames.

Listen to slayer to start off. Then ditch the metalcore and hardcore and keep searching until you find something you like.

not all hardcore is bad.

ever listened to Gorilla Biscuits or Bad Brains?

listen to Entombed's first 2 albums and stay away from their other stuff.

 

[Fury of the Storm]

I agree, based on the shitness he listens to now. But why recommend other shit bands for him to listen to?

Well some Melodic Death metal is terrible while a good amount of it is pretty good. It may be crappy to most but its a start. For me, Hypocrisy and (old) In Flames were to two first Death Metal bands I liked which got me to where I am now. Its almost like a step by step program to getting into metal. Start with the poppy, melodic stuff first, then get heavier and heavier.
