Wow, that was a lot of bands to check out. I have a couple left to go, but so far I am rather enjoying Amaran. Haji's Kitchen and Prototype were really good, too. I got a question about that, Prototype, are the versions of the CDs on your website different from the ones that I can buy on mp3.com?
Sceptic sounds interesting, but that link didn't work when I tried it. Reading Zero was okay, but a little on the slow side, IMO. I'm waiting for the Into Eternity song to finish downloading. The rest I already heard.
Here's another recommendation:
Mastodon
look on Audiogalaxy for them. They only have a 5 song EP out right now, but it is excellent, IMO, and only $5 from
http://shop.relapse.com (free shipping). "Technical Hardcore" would be an apt description (and I know it sounds like an oxymoron, but it's not). 2 of the guys are former members of Lethargy and Today is the Day.
