RECOMMENDATIONS THREAD

[Thasis]

Lookin for bands that don't suck... oh, I forgot, most of you don't know what the fuck that is. Nah, just kidding, a bunch of bands above are half-decent. I dunno, looking for some bands that are similiar to the last two Burzum albums. They're pretty rad.

...and if you like the Ildjarn you should also check out Biosphere - Substrata, given that Ildjarn's ambient work is heavily influenced by it.

You have excellent taste. I would recommend

Amorphis
(later) Death
Eternal Tears of Sorrow
Hypocrisy
Kalmah
Norther
Scar Symmetry
Sentenced
Soilwork

to start out with.

Don't lose hope in metalcore so quickly! You're making a terrible mistake!

Download Raunchy - Death Pop Romance and all will be well. It sounds like mid+late Soilwork.

If you haven't already, pick up Opeth's "My Arms Your Hearse"

Also check out Edge of Sanity

Random recommendation:

Dark Lunacy, an awesome band with massive "brutal" riffs and death vocals with some gothic and classical influences. A very unique sounding band...

 

[SonOfABitch]

Dark Tranquillity

I listened to their latest album "The Diarist"....and I personally can't get into it. Some of the outside influences are kinda cool but the vocals, I just can't stand them. They vocals are the type that you'd find in a metalcore band....

I think their vocals are very emotional but very brutal not in an overly harsh way like metalcore vocals.

Opeth and Edge of Sanity is in his list of things he is currently into.
