new bands to listen to?

[Nevermorian]

Hello everyone!

I think this is a question you all should know an answer to; I am searching for a band I don't know already. I need something emotional, just like Evergrey. No Black or Death please, not my kind (at least right now).
Whatever comes to your mind, if it's gothicMetal, ProgMetal, anything you know, just tell me, okay?
Bands I listen to; Evergrey (who would have guessed), Dream Theater, Lake of Tears, Chroma key, subway to sally (a german band, guess noone knows them...?), some Iced Earth, some Stratovarius, Death...Okay, maybe you have an idea what to suggest to me? I am unable to find a good band myself, so I ask you...And try to reawake this forum again!

well, I know them - just got back from another gig of them

Another band I'd recommend is Nightingale.
But I have to say that usually a question like that is quite useless. We don't know which bands you don't know ...and with the bands you mentioned you're not exactly narrowing what you're looking for. None of the mentioned bands sound like Evergrey. Or did I miss the point?

Uhm, er... hm...

Well, you're posting mostly old bands. The bands, which are on the metal scene for several years now.

Well, let me do the same thing. Have you checked out Amon Amarth yet? Guess not. Do it! What about... Evergrey? they're quite uknown around here try them, pal. You won't be sorry for that.

 

[Aeuphorias]

Pain Of Salvation

 

[Gaunerin]

@ Immortal: nothing wrong with the bands you mentioned (I like Amon Amarth myself for example) but Nevermorian didn't ask for Death or Black Metal.

 

[Aeuphorias]

Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention Wolverine

 

[Strahd]

Well I must promote Shadow Gallery as always This progressive metal band has released four albums so far, Shadow Gallery, Carved In Stone, Tyranny and Legacy. I recommend that you pick up either CIS or Tyranny first.
Other bands I'd recommend are Paradise Lost and Anathema. Good luck.

er, sorry. I just took a glimpse at nevermorian's post, so I overlooked those lines.

Well... I'm staying by Elvenking. Good heathen metal. Folk-pagan metal I call this.

Try, you won't be sorry

The Black League... they are NOT like Evergrey but you might like them...

By the way, Evergrey is unique!!!

Well, of course there won't be a band sounding like Evergrey, but I just thought to give an idea of Bands I like and wait what you all have to say


P.S: Der Gig in Krefeld? Wenn ja, war auch da

apparantly that was the gig, yes

as for Evergrey sounding bands.....I think I remember some ppl referring to Kharma Cosmic as being close to Evergrey. They're a more unkown band from Sweden and while I quite like what I heard it's nowhere near the dark atmosphere of Evergrey.

 

[vedr4n]

well, let's see..
if you want power metal try with kamelot, sonata arctica (something like stratovarius, but much better) and shaman
if you want prog metal try with pain of salvation, symphony x, power of omens and andromeda

 

[rebecah]

You might like Euphrosyne , Gothicprog from Finland?

 

[Demonspell]

Cool band, they have some songs at mp3.com, but they are far closer to Dream Theater than Evergrey.

Try Sonata Arctica, Falconer, Blind Guardian, Symphony X, and newer Amorphis.

 

[Vermiis]

Maybe Star One, Ayreon?
