recomend me few bands (preferably non american)

[vampyré]

My favourite bands at the moment:
Opeth
Children of Bodom
Norther
Devildriver
Alice in Chains

I've gotten tired of the american sound, so recomend me some european heavy metal bands. All my friends listen to shit like Slipknot, Mastodon and Avenged Sevenfold. I can't take that shit anymore.

Not too brutal!

 

[TehLeperAffinity]

Opeth

 

[affinityband]

My dying bride
Peccatum
Novembers doom
Katatonia
Vintersorg

And also i quite like slipknot and mastodon( come on man mastodon are immense, not a touch on opeth obiously) but avenged sevenfold can die

 

[Sadguru]

Check out Nevermore, you'll probably like them.

 

[vampyré]

What style are those bands?

 

[affinityband]

Dude who cares. they are good. But i think Tehleperaffinity is right, just listen to opeth.

 

[Pseud0]

lol, america has only shitty bands of course...

death, morbid angel, nile, cynic, cephalic carnage, leviathan, xasthur are all shitty nu-metal

 

[DegradationTrip]

In Flames
Soilwork
Dark Tranquility
Paradise Lost

Furthermore, can you tell me what's wrong with Mastodon

 

[affinityband]

Yea mastodon is what everything mainstream music should be, them, and the mars volta. are you sure your not just wanting to listen to 'underground' music in spite of what other people listen to.
