Hellstar - Nosferatu

Not Power/Speed, but Epic Power metal, is Manilla Road. You need them.

 

[Mort Divine]

Yep, know both of those bands already as well

[Kreator/Destroyer]

anyone know bands that sound like fragments of unbecoming but with the clean vocals of mercenary and shredding solos?

edit: hopefully this wasn't too specific

Great bands, but not really in the tradition of German Speed Metal. Whatever, general Speed Metal recommendations:

Abattoir
Agent Steel
Liege Lord (Master Control especially)
Stormwarrior
Solitaire
Deadly Blessing
Attacker
Griffin
early Living Death
Iron Angel
Realm
Have Mercy
Savage Grace
Sanctuary
Riot (Thundersteel)

 

[Hammer of Might]

Try Dungeon (Aus)

Yes!

 

[J.]

into some industrial type metal these days, so ill just throw some recos out there:

Godflesh - Hymns, Streetcleaner, Selfless, Us & Them
Pitchshifter - Industrial, Submit, Desensitized
Fear Factory - Soul of a New Machine, Demanufacture
Scorn - Vae Solis

and for anyone into just plain great, moving music, try:

Swans - Great Annihilator, Love of Life, Burning World

or you could just listen to skyclad and abigor

 

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

Bleh industrial rock/metal is basically crap (cept Godflesh I guess).

Listen to some actual industrial.

 

[J.]

are you generalizing, or have you actual listened to these albums?

 

[J.]

on another note, anyone have an opinion of Amestigon?

What're your thoughts on Mysticum?

 

[J.]

mysticum is quite nice.

I'd like to hear some metal bands with a very "open" feel. You know, where what the band doesn't play is more important that what they do play. I can't think of any bands that specifically play in this style, but certain songs that I could use as examples would be:
"Afraid To Shoot Strangers" (Some band from England)
"Dunkelheit" (Some band from Norway)
"Advent" (Some band from Sweden)
I know that's not much to go on, and there is no single genre that seems to use this style of composing more than others, but what can you guys come up with?

 

[CAIRATH]

Swans - Great Annihilator, Love of Life, Burning World

More people need to listen to Swans. They are brilliant.

Do you mean band which tend to have sparse riffing patterns, or that can't seem to stick to one one riff. You named "Advent" from Opeth, which doesn't have any riffs repeated in more than one instance. All of Opeth's early work has a lot of riffs strung-together like that. They don't ever stick to one riff.

On the other hand, if you mean bands who play simplistic music, there are alot of bands that fit that description...

What's the best Jack Frost (Austria) albums?

edit: mmm sexy http://www.jackfrost.at/media/one hundred percent pain full.mp3, i'm going to check out their two latest albums because hellride said their newest are their best

I've listened to a few albums by Swans and I was never able to get into them. I guess they're not my cup of tea

 

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

I want to hear the Scorn album, but I have heard old Pitchshifter, Godflesh, etc. I mean, it's better than "industrial rock" (which is what many people consider fucking Rammstein and things like that).

But pure industrial/noise is way better. Then again, I'm biased.

And yeah Swans rocks.
