Uncommon bands you know

[AchrisK]

What are some bands you know about that you rarely, if ever, see anyone else mention?

For me:

Beanflipper - Garden Variety Manic Depressant
http://www.myspace.com/beanflipper
Good stuff. Some kind of death metal/grind/punkish/ecclectic thing.

Psychic Pawn - Decadent Delerium
http://www.myspace.com/psychicpawntribute
This is some brutal death metal from somewhere in Arizona.

Coma Void - Stormking Twilight
http://www.myspace.com/comavoidband
They put out a demo under the name Merde. Horrible production, but amazing music somewhere between Atheist and Led Zeppelin. Maybe like Cynic or Atheist, but with a blues base instead of a jazz base.

Discarnated - Deus Misereatur
Rowan London's pre-Virgin Black death metal band. Bad production, amazing tunes.

In Vain - Wounds EP
http://www.myspace.com/invainno
This is their second EP and is an absolutely amazing and ecclectic mix based in death metal. I hear they just put out a full length.

Cadaverous Quartet - The Extinction Agenda
Death metal. I have the CD but hardly remember anything about it.

Purgation - Realm of the Dead EP
http://www.myspace.com/purgation
Amazing classic doom with maybe a stoner edge.

Savage Steel - Do or Die
Cool but cheap sounding thrash/speed with lame but cool vocals.

Yeti - Self Titled
http://www.myspace.com/theyeti
Great somewhat unconventional doom/death.

Of these my highest recommendation would probably go to In Vain.

Wolfchant

Check out their album A Pagan Storm

Really great stuff.

Definitly one of the best metal albums of 2007. It has a style similar to old school black metal.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

deteriorot is teh shiznit

 

[AchrisK]

Ah, I forgot one:

The Ruins
http://www.myspace.com/212856462
Also highly recommended melodic doomy death metal (make no mistake, there is no connection to anything In Flames here)

[Hell Awaits Us All]

LMAO!

N'Flames FTL

 

[AchrisK]

No, this wasn't directed at you, or meant as a slam to IF (though I hate them). I just know there is a certain thing that comes to mind when the words "melodic" and "death" are used in the same sentence. Thr Ruins have no influences from the melodeath scene.

 

[Captain]

Las Cruces - Crushing Doom metal from Texas.

I hate pissing contest threads.

 

[AchrisK]

I hate pissing contest threads.

Or it could be seen as a chance to check out something new (or old). Actually I think it started in my mind as wanting to mention Beanflipper, because they are cool. Then I went from there, no doubt with some pissing motivation, but also to share and find new stuff.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

Powermad. No one ever mentions thier thrashtastic thrashterpiece thrashymphony... Absolute power.

Yeah, that's an awesome thrash release!

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

No one ever mentions Witchburner either.

On that note, I'm going to use this thread to again advertise for Merciless Death, as they are awesome.

Well thrash sucks so..

Well you can stick a boot up your progressive ass. A really spikey leather boot.

But that wouldn't feel comfy!
