RECOMMENDATIONS THREAD

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

I recall you praising the album when it first came out.

Me too. I originally loved it.

My reason for now hating it is that the novelty wore off...how I see it, the band improved in almost every proficiency in terms of their respective instruments...Nergal's vox are more brutal and evil, the riffs are well crafted and heavy, and the drumming is Inferno's fastest perhaps ever, with all sorts of insane technique...however, they forgot an important part; writing interesting songs. I like ZKC because I find a lot of the music memorable.

I liked it a lot. I have nothing else to compare it to though.

I'm looking for a speed/hardcore band. bands that i listen to are;

Fear Factory
Lamb of God
Trivium
As I Lay Dying
Illdisposed
Caliban

Can anyone suggest a good band that ties in with these artists?

yeah, the metal bands that got me were pantera and metallica and soilwork and i even had some help from hardcore band hatebreed who i still have a soft spot for, anyway...reaper should listen to Threat Signal and Scar Symmetry cause coming from metalcore can be tough without the clean vocals being as copious, so these two bands can help as well as newer Mercenary

I like "Demigod" a lot, though I'll agree that it wears off after a while. The first couple of tracks are awesome, and then it gets a little boring, and picks up again with some of the later tracks ("Slaves Shall Serve").

LISTEN TO DESTRUCTION AND SHUT UP

 

[Kreator/Destroyer]

i think everyone has listened to destruction and realized the amount of ass they kick

 

[MasterOLightning]

I don't know why Slaves Shall Serve is such a hit song. Sounds extremely average to me. Easily in the bottom half on that album.

 

[Hammer of Might]

well why are they still making shit threads asking what to listen to then, when I just solved all their problems.

 

[Hammer of Might]

Behemoth have never struck me as a particularly essential band to check out, I don't really know why. I guess it's their combination of 'industrial' style image, silly "ov" song titles, and my preference for old school death metal over these more modern efforts.

Yeah I sort of agree but the ending is great.

I'd suggest you start listenning to actual metal since you're on a metal forum, you should try start by easy listen like:

Arch Enemy
Dark Tranquility
Arsis
the Crown
Amon Amarth
Epoch of Unlight
Strapping Young Lad

stuff like that... mostly melodic death metal since you like Trivium and that's the closest from it in the real metal realm.

 

[Kreator/Destroyer]

arsis is a like a level 2 band, they aren't that easy of a listen for a noob it took me a while to get used to them and i still say Mercenary is a good start

 

[Evil?]

Oh man, I love Demigod. Havn't got sick of it yet. I have ZKC coming in the mail so we shall see how they compare.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

What is ZKC?

 

[Hatebreeder]

Good start offs to real metal to me is In Flames, Opeth, and Children Of Bodom.

I advocate this statement.

Ok where to begin... um... yeah... errr... why not try something completely different like Burzum? Or some old school Slayer or old Mercyful Fate or something good like that?

 

[unknown]

zos kia cultus er whatever it's called

 

[byrne]

behemoth have always been nothing greater than ok. medicority has never been all that appealing to me.

 

[Eyes Of The Insane]

Fear Factory

Thats only Band in that list I like and they are the only band in that list that isnt mallcore. For Fans Fear Factory, Here are some bands simular to them: Strapping Young Lad, Godflesh, Meshuggah and Nailbomb. I'm sorry but the rest of the bands on your list are mallcore so i'm not gonna give suggestion. Hopefully you'll listen to more real metal bands. If your looking for some speed and hardcore bands. When you mean hardcore I hope your not refering to Hatebreed. How about lets give you crossover to start with. Stormtroopers of Death, Suicidal Tendencies, D.R.I., Hirax, Cryptic Slaughter, and The Accused. For speed/thrash metal, start off with these bands. Anvil, Dark Angel, Kreator, Destruction, Megadeth, Hallows Eve, Motorhead, Testament, Overkill, Venom, Slayer, and Anthrax.
