Have you already tried Atrox? Their first album isn´t that interesting, but "Contentum", "Terrestrials" and "Orgasm" feature some really interesting music and some of the most original vocals ever to be featured on a metal album - which you will probably either love or hate - (as well as very original album covers and lyrics). You can download some of their songs from each of their albums on their official website, just go directly to
www.atrox-web.com/main.php?show=samples
If you don´t already know them, you should also check out Anacrusis. They already split up about a decade ago, but they definitely were ahead of their time (especially on their final album "Screams And Whispers") and you can download
all their albums + demo and live stuff from their website, which you find here:
http://apogee.whack.org/~ken/index.html
Some other metal bands you might like are Sieges Even, Watchtower, Voivod and Mekong Delta.
As for some non-metal stuff, try The Third And The Mortal. You find some sound-samples from each of their albums (which all sound more or less different from each other) as well as a full-length videoclip of their (heaviest) song "Magma" on their website. Just go directly to
http://thomasr.nvg.org/mortal.info/av.htm
There are two good progressive rock (not metal) songs (about 13 and 15 minutes) in early seventies style by a new band called Wobbler, which you can download from their website at
http://wobbler.gab.net/music/
For some samples from some interesting bands from Sweden and Finland go to
www.gjallarhorn.com/audio.html and
www.gjallarhorn.com/video.html
http://hem.passagen.se/tvafisk/e/musik_andra.htm
www.varttina.com/recordings
www.cabal.se/massproduktion/garmarna/content/themusic.htm
and also try to find anything by Hedningarna (especially their album "Trä")!
If you would like to try some really impressive vocals, look for the album "Fly, Fly My Sadness" by The Bulgarian Voices "Angelite" feat. Huun-Huur-Tu & Sergey Starostin, especially the song "Legend"! You find some samples of this album, if you go to
www.jaro.de/php/endex.php3 , click on "Artists", then on "The Bulgarian Voices - ANGELITE", scroll down and then click on "Fly Fly My Sadness".
Also try Dead Can Dance who have already been mentioned before. If you should like them, also check out Lisa Gerrard´s solo albums and Mila Mar´s album "Nova."
OK, I guess that´s enough.
