recommendations?

[elric]

So, after a couple years of not listening to a whole ton of metal, I've been paying attention again - honestly, the anticipation of the Katatonia show this last weekend got my attention, and I've listened to more metal in the last few months than I had in years, and have been enjoying it. But I need recommendations... Recent stuff I've enjoyed is Katatonia, of course, Daylight Dies, Amorphis... generally just looking for stuff , either newer that I may have missed, or just older awesome stuff I never found in the first place. So please, ideas?

Novembers Doom!!!!!!!!

You will see me pimp these guys a lot as I love them.
Their last release was THE PALE HAUNT DEPARTURE (The End Records)

Great death / doom. Perfect mix of clean vocals and growls.

I think a fan of both Katatonia and Daylight Dies would dig them lots.

[Hobo]

After hearing you mention Agalloch so often i decided to check them out..
so i downloaded (yes, pre-listened through piracy) their latest album.. cant remember the name.. and seriously.

the guy cant sing. music was ok.. not great, but listenable.. but he sung so bad i deleted it after one listen.

Trivium

huh?! nothing personal, and to each his own taste, but you suggest trivium to someone looking for katatoniaish bands?

 

[elric]

Haha, thanks for all the suggestions - picked up some Agalloch and November's Doom, also Evergrey. Enjoying them all so far, I appreciate all the suggestions!

Hobo, you're one of the few names I recognize from when I used to post on here years ago...

 

[BlueSky]

trivium sucks an indubitable amount indeed

 

[Shamus]

So we're just naming off anything really? In that case:

Pain of Salvation

I have yet to tire of them, and I find something new everytime I listen. And for something that can only be described as 'badass', give Mercenary a shot, incredibly powerful group right there.
