recommend me new albums!

[Crack Hitler]

Oh yeah, Isis - Ocean is a great album



But get that Dredg first

 

[Ol' Dirty Bastard]

The Entity- Salt

The Old Dead Tree- The Nameless Disease

(just for the fuck of it, listen to anything from Bjork as well!!!!!!)

 

[DragonLady1]

I recommend anything by This Ascension- an American ethereal/goth/rock band with excellent female vocals. Also- anything by Christian Death (USA), Faith and the Muse (USA), Frozen Autumn (Italy), Haggard (Germany or Austria-I'm not sure), and Dead Can Dance (UK). You might have heard of some of these bands, though. :Spin:

Haggard are from Germany

 

[Dora]

! As I see, I need to buy a new harddisk at first..

 

[Crack Hitler]

No girl, you need to buy some legal cd's

 

[Dora]

AFTER I got to know these 30 or more that ppl recommended.. (You dont think Im gonna buy disks of bands that I've never heard of and have names that dont mean anything in any human language, do u?!)

 

[Crack Hitler]

No, but then again you really don't need to get everything everybody recommends, you know? Atleast I wouldn't have time to properly dig into all those albums so I just get one every now and then and try to get most out of it. If for example I had downloaded that Dredg - El Cielo with 20 other albums, I doubt I'd be praising it now since I started to get into it after the fourth spin or so.



but if you just wanna sample those recommendations to make up your mind which you're gonna buy, it's ok and I forgive you

[Dora]

1st impressions

Zeraphine - nice, gothic, mellow.

Dredg - wow.. vocals like a-ha. interesting too.

Sentenced - ROCKS! though a little reminds of HIM..

 

[DragonLady1]

Dora, Sentenced is the ORIGINAL!!! HIM and all the rest of the finnish goth rock stuff stole from them hehe or lets say got influenced by them...

[Dora]

So you're not a ?

 

[Dora]

Green Carnation - really good -interestin though, first it reminded me of Dream Theater and then just some basic metal like IM. By the way, i just ran into the new Dream Theater album, and it sounds good. Kindof okay...
But Green C. has nothing dark in it. Not doomed enough. Bloody cheerful instead Hoppla hopp metal. Nah.

Isis - Nice, good, fine, boring, deleled. where is the passion?

Mourning Beloveth - thats better. Moody. Dark. Growling. A little bit slow. Drawling.

I also found Virgin Black, sounds good.

But it seems nothing can beat my new favs (A: AND, Tiamat, Moonspell..)

 

[Dora]

So you're not a ! ?

Im not in that mood.. read my first post, i need such music now.

 

[Crack Hitler]

Isis - Nice, good, fine, boring, deleled. where is the passion?

Well I think that's a great album, Oceanic I mean. Dunno how passionate you want your music to be, but there's a great deal of emotions there.

But this is the thing I tried oh so subtly to tell you. When you have shitloads of new music to listen, there might be no time (nor patience) to listen to stuff properly. I borrowed my girlfriends copy of Oceanic and first two or three spins I thought it was ok, nothing spectacular but still I kept listening to it every now and then until I found it to be actually pretty fuckin good and deep and well thought. When you sample many bands in a row, it's possible that those songs just become kinda fast food. If something doesn't grab your attention right away, just click on the next album, you know?
I'm not preaching, tho

happy hunting.
