Recent Discoveries That Make You Wonder How You Ever Lived Without Them

[TheBahggs]

Terrible thrad title, but it gets the point across.

I have recently listened to the first two efforts of Pungent Stench and needless to say I have a new inductee into my personal pantheon. Anyone else have similar experiences lately?

 

[VelociBrad]

Mortem - OSDM from Peru. Damn good stuff.

 

[JontRevolting]

Mortem have been around for ages too...I recently discovered Misery's Omen and am damn glad I did so.

 

[VelociBrad]

Shit I know dude. I found them and was like holy shit where have I been!!

 

[JontRevolting]

Always fucking good when that happens

 

[challenge_everything]

Rainbow. I always imagined them being gay or poppy because of the name but it's as good as trad metal gets.

 

[Destructo_Pat]

Opeth. I have only been listening to them for about a year and they're already my favorite band.

 

[ArneZ]

Dont think there is anyone...yet. Just some bands that were better then I expected, but nothing groundbreaking.

 

[Hail The Wizard!]

Earth.

 

[ConnorFromHell]

Death. I mean I always knew they existed but I'd never bothered to check much out, then I listened to some stuff from Symbolic and FUCKING HELL it's good.

 

[Zephyrus]

Pestilence

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Dead Can Dance

 

[The Emptier]

Ikuinen Kaamos
Pensees Nocturnes

 

[Thoth-Amon]

Dead Can Dance

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I literally don't think I can say anything I've heard lately falls into this category.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

same

I just havent done enough searching for metal these days. main reason is because of money.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Fates Warning - Awaken the Guardian

Not really a new discovery since I've had it on tape for a few years. I didn't think much of it until I listened to it again recently. Great fucking album.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Blind Guardian, Insomnium, and Herbie Hancock. My reluctance to listen to these three was, in retrospect, impossibly stupid.

 

[SkeletonWitch]

The UK black metal scene (Fen, Winterfylleth, Wodensthrone, Ethereal Woods, etc.)

 

[GrayRain]

Death. I mean I always knew they existed but I'd never bothered to check much out, then I listened to some stuff from Symbolic and FUCKING HELL it's good.

Dude I just downloaded the Death discography because of this post and jesus christ I totally agree. My new favorite death metal band without question.
