RECOMMENDATIONS THREAD

[Satanstoenail]

Recommend me some old school new wave melodic technical ambient death metal, but none of that growly "I want to rip your head off" stuff, I only want the goriest brughtal death metal with soft acoustic passages and clean singing, also it has to be fast pace downtempo flower power metal with soft emo passages...

Opeth?

Thanks for the recommendations...

Could someone recommend me some T-DM similar to old Sceptic (amazingly technical drumming, amazing solos, crushing breakdowns [not hardcore breakdowns lol])?

Thanks!

Lykathea Aflame is for you, young lad.

 

[Rumpole]

Somebody please recommend me some meandering, kind of mellow instrumental stuff along the lines of the first two "Our Fortress Is Burning..." tracks off Ashes Against The Grain.

Can someone recommend me something in the vain of Hades?

I have yet to hear anything really like it. I asked earlier, and nobody came through. ...Again Shall Be and The Dawn of the Dying Sun rule.


I forgot to bid on ebay for $15 copy of ...Again Shall Be

Both albums are incredible, probably my favorite BM band at the moment. I have yet to get into Hades Almighty, how are their albums under that name?

People should no longer be allowed to ask for death metal recommendations unless it's about a specific band. Seriously.

Or at least based on something slightly more descriptive than just "crushing death metal"...

I can understand "recommend me metal that sounds like X with Y and Z influences/characteristics" though.

xentrix's shattered existence vs for whose advantage? <-- which is better?

 

[byrne]

shattered existence

 

[immo]

Recommend me some skull crushing death metal.

Asphyx - The Rack
Grotesque - In The Embrace Of Evil
Incantation - The Forsaken Mourning Of Angelic Anguish
Immolation - Here In After

While my post was not a serious request, I guess I should thank you for the rec. I have actually been meaning to check out that band.

Yeah, I could tell... Your request sucked

Not nearly as good. In fact, just avoid them. The majestic feeling is gone, replaced by a cosmic type slant.

as for similar bands, you really should try Helheim's first two albums and their demo.

Nachtfalke is fairly similar, in that it's taking cues from Hammerheart yet using black metal stylee.

Geasa's "Fate's Lost Son", perhaps. Especially the "Starside" demo.

Belenos, maybe

 

[Mort Divine]

Belenos, maybe

Belenos ffs in terms of quality

Spicilege is a must.

EDIT:

Can I get some recommendations for stuff similar to Unanimated and Eucharist?

 

[cookiecutter]

I knew you would be posting as soon as I saw the word Belenos.

I'm a fanboy what can I say

 

[cookiecutter]

I understand. Devourment is to me as Belenos is to you.
