[karelrulez]

OZRIC TENTACLES. the only reason they're not so populair under you guys is that you've never heard of them. Listen to them once and you'll love them.

This is a good thread.

In response to the open or close mindedness of metalers, I find this mainly to be true only of those who claim Black and Death metal as their true love. Most of these folks can't even talk about another style of music. It's quite frustrating, especially when they ask you to be open-minded.

I will always love metal but I also love Motown, trance, hard house, ambient, shoegazer. sadcore, old blues, old jazz blues, tons of cool 70's prog, you name it....

bands:
Spiritualized
Do Make Say Think
Unwed Sailor
SIANspheric
Mountain Mirrors
Mark lanegan
Turin Brakes
PW Long
GSYBE!
Signur Ros
The Album Leaf
Unbelievable Truth
so many more out there to discover......open minds are where it's at.
