Not to sound anti metal or anything, but maybe you should listen to other forms of music, one can become too pigeonholed at times, maybe throwing in a different form of music is what you need to make metal all the more interesting.

 

[Funeral Portrait]

Behemoth, Amon Amarth, Finntroll, Vader, Evergrey. There's some.

Definately, like right now I'm listening to a little REO Speedwagon

umm....i've listened to Punk(which i don't like), and Pop/Punk(which i don't like much either), Acoustic is really cool, Emo is alright for what i've heard, Screamo is great. I like Hiphop, and Latin percussion. I also want to find some Trance and Electronica artists. I've heard techno, and some of it's good. Oh and i like Industrial.


Mind saying that again? That i seem to "only listen to metal" to you? No. I didn't add any other forms of music because this is the metal discussion area, if i wanted other music i'd ask around the non-metal area. But i never get responses.

Wow, those are pretty big lists...

has edge of sanity been mentioned? I've been listening to them like crazy for the last week or so.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Harakiri? Who are they? That name rips!

 

[Spirit In Black]

Harakiri? Who are they? That name rips!

They are pretty brutal and original sounding death metal.....from Willowtip, their stuff is hard to find but it is awesome...........they have a couple acoustic parts thrown into songs with growls over them it sounds so cool

 

[Sinner Rider]

Why not listen to good old fashion Heavy Metal? There's a ton of good shit.

 

[Caelum Adustum]

Check out Arsis (see link in sig.). They aren't your average melodic DM band.

And Insision is good brutal DM, I think their site is down (for me at least), but as far as I know www.earache.com has an MP3 or two.

 

[ShadowOfDeath]

I already listen to Ozzy, Sabbath, Maiden, Priest, and getting into NWOBHM like whitesnake, angel witch, and diamond head. I don't like motorhead either. Motley crue's pretty good but isn't that more glam? Like Def Leppard, Guns n Roses, etc?

 

[Episteme]

Listen to some Jazz and classical it opens new horizons... Try out bands like Maudlin of the Well, Kayo Dot, Cynic, Isis, Ephel Duath, Pan-thy-monium, Dan Swano's Moontower, Slugathor, Vital Remains, Dissection, Dark Suns, Akercocke, Farmakon, Agalloch, Portal, Vehemence, Kataklysm, Vader, I can go on but I really don't want to. Check out alot of the band forums featured in ultimatemetal.com alot of them are really good bands.
