The non-metal thread

[Episteme]

Listening to alot of Autechre and Elend lately. Is anyone here a fan of Olivier Messiaen's works? Modern classical composer that expressed alot of ideas in atonality. Not the easiest classical music to listen to but I think it's great stuff.

 

[Mormagil]

Thanks, I'll look into it. Which album is it, anyway?

Zobena Dziesma.

 

[The Devil's Steed]

For those of you who enjoy later Dead Can Dance material, I submit to you: Rajna.

Beautiful Middle-Eastern influenced music, with a female vocalist somewhat similar to the one from DCD.

 

[no country for old wainds]

Is this the band that Mr "DCD ARE TOO MAINSTREAM" told you about?

 

[The Devil's Steed]

Is this the band that Mr "DCD ARE TOO MAINSTREAM" told you about?

Yes. I prefer later DCD to this myself (I think, I've only listened to the two albums once), but this is pretty good, too.

 

[Zombie Autopilot]

the new system of a down shit is fuckin awesome.

 

[insert name]

I really don't like System of a Down

Queens of the stone age, i like their old stuff, but their new album SUCKS

 

[anonymousnick2001]

I liked what I heard of the new SOAD. More jugular riffs.

NO! New QOTSA sucks?!

 

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

NO! New QOTSA sucks?!

I've been in denial but it's really not good.

 

[Necro Joe]

I seem to only like a handful of songs off each QOTSA album, though I've not heard all of their s/t.

At the Drive-In's Relationship of Command is awesome, can anyone recommend anything similar?

 

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

The Mars Volta.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Yes! Although Relationship is quite awesome in itself.

I'm afraid that Frances the Mute has not registered with me like De-Loused in the Comatorium did. It's too conventional in a prog-rock sense, and the band has too many borrowings from Zeppelin, Santana, and Faith No More to even match the striking originality they had on De-Loused.

 

[Christie_fell]

Gustav Holst, anyone?

NP: Mars - The Bringer of War

 

[R.I.P.2]

Yes to Holst, obviously. Yes to At the Drive-In.

 

[Perdition's Light]

Does anyone know of any bit torrent sites aside from kerrazytorrents where I can find non-metal stuff? Most of the shit they post there is the usual Aerosmith/Guns N Roses/ACDC drivel.

I can't use any other p2p programs. Don't ask.

 

[Necro Joe]

Yes! Although Relationship is quite awesome in itself.

I'm afraid that Frances the Mute has not registered with me like De-Loused in the Comatorium did. It's too conventional in a prog-rock sense, and the band has too many borrowings from Zeppelin, Santana, and Faith No More to even match the striking originality they had on De-Loused.

I agree, they also could have lost a good 30 - 40 minutes of really rather boring material and made it a far more enjoyable listen. It has some really awesome bits, but they're few and far between compared to Deloused.

And though I love TMV I was really looking more for punk and harcore stuff that has similarities with AtD-I.

Gustav Holst, anyone?

NP: Mars - The Bringer of War

I transposed the music to guitar tablature one time, but I lost it...I should really look for it

I've been listening to a lot neofolk and norwegian folk music lately...Tenhi's "Vare" and "Kuaun"...some Piorun...October Falls...Hagalaz Runedance...Of The Wand & The Moon

also been listening to a lot of Chroma Key

Holy Fuck! Eluvium's An Accidental memory in the case of Death is unbelievably gorgeous. get.this.now

Have you already tried Gåte, Garmarna, Hedningarna (a newer site), Två Fisk Och En Fläsk, Gjallarhorn or Värttinä? (OK, only Gåte are from Norway, but you might give the others a try nevertheless.)
