Unknown awesome bands!?

[affinityband]

I dont hate genres i hate bands.

 

[Wires & Waves]

Yeah...because illiteracy is trait inherent in only the Opeth fanboi population and not the open minded indie crowd. Fantastic generalisation.

But at least the indie crowd can get laid.

 

[affinityband]

Hey we got fat chicks.

 

[Kenneth R.]

i suppose they aren't that unknown since they opened for Porcupine Tree, but Oceansize is pretty cool.

 

[affinityband]

Indie isnt that bad as a whole. 'Metal' is way worse as a whole. But there just happens to be more bands that i like in metal than indie.

 

[Wires & Waves]

I wish I'd never made that listen to indie rock post now because you know there's plenty other genres that you should also be listening to rather than Opeth

*in addition to Opeth.

 

[Wires & Waves]

Sure, whatever. I did the same thing, eventually one comes to realize how much Opeth (and eventually, all metal) pales in comparison to the better music out there

what bands would you consider indie rock anyway?

Bands i listen to on a regular basis that i would consider 'Indie' so to speak.
Interpol
Radiohead
LCD soundsystem
Mogwai
The Pixies

Indie is an extremely broad genre. Unfortunatley Metal so far (except for a few) does not have as much variety.

People, check out WITCHCRAFT!
and their debut album entitled Firewood!
This is a Swedish band, and very Black Sabbath inspired, they play very good traditional Heavy-Metal!

except now you're doing the same shit that most metalheads do, and excluding an entire genre from your scope of interest. hypocritical, really.

as chris said, i like/dislike bands, not genres

I'm allowed to because I know enough about it to know that the vast majority is worthless

 

[melvintillius]

Sephiroth. Very cool atmospheric, tribal-tech music. I've fallen in love with them. It is very trancey, but very tribal instrumental stuff.

Here is their Amazon listing for their latest album, Draconian Poetry.

Check them out.

Indie Kids unfortunatley are just as serious about music as Metalheads are, which means they are pompous and arrogant towards the genre that dominates their lives.

 

[Leandro]

I don't know how well know this is outside my country but tuatha de danann is very decent folk metal

 

[metal_wrath]

Indie is not even a genre, they are just prog rejects. I'd prefer to listen to "Independent" and "Progressive" music anyday.

You are wrong about that. Metal probably is more wide ranged than most genres. For instance the vocals can include all ranges styles and then their are death vox, black metal, operatic, spoken word etc... Indie music is strictly singing (albiet horrible) and badly played and uncreative guitar anti-wankery.

congrats on being just as pseudo intellectual as the people you were just bashing. initially i thought you might be onto something, but it seems you're playing the same hand from a different side of the table.

Maybe but at least when I tell a girl what music I like she doesn't immediately place one hand on her rape whistle
