I'm sure that I forgot some, but I'll post them if I remember. Keep an eye on REQUIEM, they just got signed by Revenge Productions, a German label and will release their first full-length CD this summer/fall. Just ask me if you have questions about the bands, I'll try to help you

 

[Gaunerin]

I hardly know one of them.....

 

[locutos]

Celtic Frost (swiss)
Hollenthon (austrian)
Warpath (hanseatic... well german )

yeah I thought so there are pretty many bands here, above all Death Metal bands. There are Death Metal concerts almost every weekend. But the bands aren't known international, at least most of them. and yeah, I forgot Celtic Frost in the list, how could I forget them!!!

 

[the_joy_of_grief]

Did anybody mention EverEve?

EverEve are my favourite German goth metal band, their first two albums are Hall Of Fame material. In my opinion they are the best German goth metal band ever. Most goth rock/metal stuff from Germany is pretty mediocre, I think. There are some good bands like Darkseed, Crematory, Century, Flowing Tears...but they can't beat EverEve.

Agathodaimon are also great!

 

[Gaunerin]

Yep, EverEve are on the list already.

Hm.....I've seen them live at the end of last year and wasn't exactly impressed. Especially the performance of their vocalist seemed kind of strange to me........or in other words: I didn't like it. Ridicilous in my eyes. But I'm not goth........so.....maybe that's why.

 

[Malaclypse]

i am no goth either, but i like them nevertheless. to bad their first singer commited suicide... he was really great. the new vocals are not that brilliant indeed. but Seasons and Stormbirds are must-have.

 

[locutos]

ah one further missing band in the german list:

Behind The Scenery <- !

 

[Morgana]

I add those German bands, which were missing...

 

[opacity]

@morgana: another one: Samsas Traum
(I know there's many who don't like this "band"... )

 

[TheEmperor]

above all the German Metal magazine "Rock Hard" doesn't like Samsas Traum at all

 

[opacity]

one comment: fuck RH and fuck (former Metal) Hammer!

they're both opinion-making mags and for "introduction" not bad. but all this flaming on the one side and the praise hymns on the other (regarding certain metal styles and bands) start getting both boring (cos it's the same story all the time ) and annoying
the only reason why I kept buying alternating one of those pamphlets, was cos of the attached compilation cd, but I quit buying any of those some time ago cos now not even the cd is worth spending all those Euros and Cents

i think this is rather funny. i am not a ST fan! the only reasons to buy the rockhard is the cd reviews, the cds and wolf rüdiger mühlmann...this guy is killer..

 

[TheEmperor]

yeah I think the Rock Hard is quite funny sometimes, I always buy it... but I still think that the Legacy is better for me, since there are more Death/Black Metal bands in it.

 

[Malaclypse]

rock hard... well there's always one around in our rehearsal room, so i get to reading it quite regularly. i for one can't take the reviews seriously since i don't like power metal. and that's what they all seem to like. every second issue features either the onkelz , destruction/kreator or iron maiden. it's good for a laugh now and then (see manowar interview), but i don't take the whole thing seriously. every review is biased, and i rather choose my cds i want to buy by myself.

@morgana: I have another German band for your list: Cold Embrace
found "Ode To Sorrow" yesterday, when I started to organize my cd-shelf
