Your Favorite Local Bands

[ohiogrinder]

Sin Origin and Impudent are two good local black metal bands

 

[AchrisK]

As far as famous bands from the area:

Atrophy

I actually had a college class with one guitarist (Rick Skowron) back in say 1986. What's trippier than that is I started a new job last October, and he was starting at the same place the same day.

We also had Dover Trench, which is like speed metal/thrash that reminds me of Holy Terror a little bit.

More recently a friend of a friend was in a band called Stillbled. Brutal death metal with this amazing hippie drummer. They are no more.

To be liberal in my pickings (including bands no longer around):

Whiplash
Blood Feast
Hades
Overkill
Attacker
Heathens Rage
Arctic Flame
Funebrarum
Evoken

Probably a few others.

LOL, funniest thing I read all day. Those bands aren't well liked around here, be prepared for a thrashing from the metallers around here haha.

 

[Pethical]

Universe 217

Sun Of Nothing

Thanks very much, thoroughly enjoyed these two

Naglfar is from Umeå if I'm not mistaken.

Yes I know that, didn't list them though cause they aren't any favorite of mine (but they do have some rokkin' tunes from time to time)

^ I think, Meshuggah are from your city too.

^ I think, Meshuggah are from your city too.

Same story again, the thread is FAVOURITE local bands, not list local metal bands (plus Meshuggah moved away some time ago) if I may speak in her stead.

 

[~Neurotica]

I perfectly know what this thread is about. I was just wondering.
And yes, you may.

 

[Jreg]

Dying Fetus
Misery Index
The Hidden Hand
Pentagram
Deceased
Internal Void
Pig Destroyer
Arghoslent

That's only active bands though.

 

[As-I-Lay-Dying]

Damn straight.
Don't let anyone make you feel embarrased or anything about what you like.


My current favourite local band are Fear Of The South.
But their online material is really crap.
After they record their EP i'll post a link up here.
Saw them last night.
Unreal set as usual.

 

[Zephyrus]

Dying Fetus
Misery Index
The Hidden Hand
Pentagram
Deceased
Internal Void
Pig Destroyer
Arghoslent

That's only active bands though.

Plus 11ty billion other doom bands. Maryland is quite a hot spot.

Didn't mean to sound pissed off or anything, sorry.
We also have Nocturnal Rites, Persuader, Woods of Infinity, Mortuus, Amsvartner, Embracing, Bleeding, Auberon, Zonaria, GOTHAM CITY, Angst, Ancient Wisdom, Dead Silent Slumber (Kind of at least, Jensa lived here when he made that stuff), Cult of Luna, Havayoth, Guillotine, Shade of Black, Throne of Ahaz, Ghamorean, Taedeat and a bunch more, some good, some bad and most forgettable. In my fav-list a few of the above mentioned would be included but no matter how hard I try I'm sure I'd forget a bunch so I won't bother.

How is Embracing?

And as far as the Maryland Doom scene is concerned, it seems that many of those bands are becoming active again after having been inspired by the Doom Or Be Doomed Festival organized by the guys in Revelation. So not only is Revelation active again (along with Against Nature), but Unorthodox and Wretched are back as well, possibly others that have slipped my mind. It's a very nice time to be alive for Trad Doomers, as there's been quite the revival lately.

 

[Hatebreeder]

From the Los Angeles scenes...

Divinitas
Abyssmal Nocturne

From the Vegas scenes (close enough)...

Guttural Secrete
7th Son

 

[Hell Mike]

How is Embracing?

Not very impressive in my opinion, has the drummer from Naglfar's Vittra on synth and/or drums and vocals (who is also the older brother of a dude who drummed for a very short while in a band I'm in, and he also taught at my school at that time), used to be boring melodic-ish death metal and evolved into progressive stuff and then back do more death metal-ish stuff, don't know where they are right now though.

 

[Sabin Frost]

I come from the country, hence I have a few pub bands I like better then the other pub bands.

However, some actual musical talent locally,

The Midnight Parasites (two piece, self-taught grunge rock, in sig)

And Bliss and Ignorance, who should be recording some proper material soon with a producer (they have garage demos up at the moment on their myspace) www.myspace.com/blissandignorance

It is the sort of experimental rock people that are right into Tool or The Mars Volta will like.
