bloodbath are shitty

well aren't you great

 

[Sabin Frost]

Sunn are incredible, the real leaders of the drone genre, you can read a great article on them in the new york times, just search for them on the website and you will find it.

I recommend Sanctity, they have their first album out in a few days and its great old school metal/thrash. Mustaine saw these guys live and asked them personally to play gigantour and they didn't even have an album out yet. Definetely worth a listen.

Failing that, Type O Negative's new album, Dead Again, well worth the wait.

 

[Skepticism]

I need help asap

What is Sunn O)))? ...and what does it mean?esp. the O))) thing? what is this?

What album should I grab as an intro? and WHAT THE HELL DOES THE BAND NAME MEAN!?!?! heh.

Band name is directly taken from a company that makes guitar amps.

 

[ohiogrinder]

Carpathian Forest - We're Going to Hell for This
Hypocrisy - Hypocrisy
Hypocrisy - Abducted
Hypocrisy - Virus

as for Waking the Cadaver, never heard of them myself but searching I found someone sharing them in their 'deathcore/grindcore' folder it only takes one 'core' for me to put a band in the shitbox, I'd avoid them like hte plague

that's your problem. grindcore is fucking amazing. that being said, Waking The Cadaver is shitty scenegrind.

Try Vesania.

 

[Base Delta Zero]

i need a good place to start with the following bands

Arsis

'A Celebration of Guilt' is much better than 'United in Regret' though both are very excellent IMO.

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

Eternal Tears of Sorrow
^ the band the Kalmah brothers (both guitarists or something I think) were in up until the last EToS release

check out:
Eternal Tears of Sorrow - Scars Of Wisdom
Eternal Tears of Sorrow - The River Flows Frozen
Eternal Tears of Sorrow - Black Tears (Edge of Sanity Cover)
Eternal Tears Of Sorrow - As I Die (Paradise Lost Cover)

Edge of Sanity, Norther, and Mithotyn are good too

Looking for some really awesome speed metal, that isn't power metal like dragon force.

 

[skeptik]

Stormwarrior - Stormwarrior

 

[Demonseed]

Draconian - Arcane Rain Fell

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

can I get some really epic/atmospheric death metal like nile "unas slayer of gods" (or other nile songs)?

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Toxik - Think This

 

[skeptik]

That album really sucks. World Circus is much better...I don't know what the fuck they were trying to do with Think This, but they failed.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Pssh, World Circus is quite good, but in Think This everything is nailed perfectly.
