Some Great Metal Recommendations

[The-Fox]

Hey, Just saw this Section, it's pretty slim :icon_comp

Anyway, Just thought to give some great albums names so people can check them out:
Divercia -Modus Operandi (Great Progy Heavy Metal)
Circus Maximus - The 1st Chapter (Great Prom Metal from Europe)
Prototype - Trinity (Powerful Progy Power metal band from U.S.A)
Koyaanisqatsy - From The Yearning To Burst The Perpetual Circle (Amazing Prog metal from Germany)
Moonsorrow - Kivenkantaja (amazing Folk/Blackish metal album, a must !)
Ensiferum - Iron (Very Fast Folk/Death metal, rocks !!)

THose are just some great bands and albums for you guys to try out.

Enjoy :devil2

[MrMagnum]

nice list.
Why not add Madball (New York Hardcore) to the list. another great recommendation.

[ratbag]

i'll add them to my stuff to search for thanks

[DwarfBaby]

Interesting. Moonsorrow sounds sort of the like if the Devil did a river dance and spoke in German. Who said a flute can't be played in a death metal band? Honestly, they kind of sound a little like Jethro Tull. I kinda like it.

Circus Maximus is an odd one, never heard of them. They sound little 80's Big Hair but I'll give it listen.

Any particular Madball album you prefer as there are many posted.

I would recommend Katatonia("Last Fair Deal Gone Down" and "The Great Cold Distance" are both good albums) Not quite as heavy as what you guys are listening too but pretty dark.

Anyways, good post.

1 Madball album to recommend...

well if i can't say all of them... i'd say start with Set It Off then follow up with Legacy

Moonsorow are amazing, the melodies are catchy yet addictive as hell, with a heavy theme and rhythm, growl singing and more stuff which makes this a classic.

If you are going to try Circus maxmimus, make sure to try their first Album, as their second resembles more to an AOR or Hard rock music.
"The 1st Chapter" is really is a great, heavy and Proggy album.

I have Viva emptiness by katatonia, funny thing is I didn't gave it a spin yet, silly me.
but thanks for your recommendations, I will check them out in the future :icon_thum

[ratcat]

I must be out of touch never heard the bands above.

What about old school metal recommendations

Metallica - Kill n all to Justice (only)

[Lord_of_the_Dense]

Worthy mention. I might even extend it to the Black Album, but not past it.

[northwest stew]

Dead Infection-These guys are out of Poland ,love the Surgical Disembowelment cd

[ratcat]

Worthy mention. I might even extend it to the Black Album, but not past it.

The jury is still out on this one. The solo's are great but overall hmmmmmmmmmmm.

Hath may have something more to say about this album too. He has a dislike to album has well.

PS Other thread - Thanks for the Telsa link.

[Hath]

Wow, where do I start. I love all Metal except what I consider the scourge of the genre, Metalcore and Nu Metal. I can't even begin to list my favorite metal artists/albums. I will try though.

In no particular order:

1. Slayer - Reign in Blood
2. At the Gates - Slaughter of the Serpent Soul
3. Celtic Frost - Monotheist
4. Dissection - Reinkaos
5. Cannibal Corpse - Hammer Smash Face

[N4n0]

Metallica - Kill n all to Justice (only)

Metallica certainly until the black album, but there are also a number of old school metal groups:

Megadeth
Slayer
Antharx
Manowar
Iron Maiden
Helloween
...

Yep !

Don't forgot Exodus

They rocked has well

[N4n0]

Yeah! There are so many groups that i have forgotten jejeje are many good groups of the 80's almost the height of heavy metal :icon_thum

[Tic3]

Some recommendations for relatively recent (within the last 3-5 years) releases:

Trad/Old School type:

Primal Fear - Seven Seals
Tad Morose - Modus Vivendi
Astral Doors - Evil Is Forever
Brainstorm - Liquid Monster
Gamma Ray - Majestic

Progressive:

Pagan's Mind - Enigmatic : Calling
Kamelot - The Black Halo

Death:

Dark Tranquillity - Character
Arch Enemy - Rise of the Tyrant

[N4n0]

i think that Kamelot is more power than progressive metal

[Tic3]

I dunno....I've seen people with opinions on both sides. The majority I've spoken with would say progressive.

Not that it really matters, though.

Even Kamelot can't make up their minds, as a quote directly from their website says, “We play power metal as much as progressive metal and gothic metal.”

[wingnut2600]

My humble suggestion is Bismuth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bismuth):

Bismuth is a chemical element (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_element) that has the symbol Bi and atomic number (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_number) 83. This heavy, brittle, white crystalline trivalent poor metal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poor_metal) has a pink tinge and chemically resembles arsenic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsenic) and antimony (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimony). Of all the metals, it is the most naturally diamagnetic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamagnetism), and only mercury (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_%28element%29) has a lower thermal conductivity (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conductivity).

[Lord_of_the_Dense]

Damn Bay Area Metal Peeps...

[Hath]

Yeah, I forgot about Exodus. They are awesome.

[Tic3]

Annihilator - Carnival Diablos

I was just browsing through my collection and put this one on with a pair of headphones.

Damn. Hahaha. That was fun. I haven't listened to this for a while. It's pretty good.

[N4n0]

Anyone familiar with the series metalocalypse?

[Lord_of_the_Dense]

I just started catching it in the past 4-5 months. It's actually pretty good and funny. I just hate how damn short it is.

[Tic3]

Anyone familiar with the series metalocalypse?

Never heard of it. Could be 'cause I don't have TV/cable/satellite.

[N4n0]

you can see all the chapters in stage6, very funny and sadistic! :drunken_s

[Captain-America]

Here are some of my fave power metal bands.


Kamelot
Dreamtheater
Angra
Masterplan
Dragonforce
Elevenking
Nightwish
Breed 77

[Midnight's Children]

This is the greatest thread I have I have read!

Moonsorow is brilliant yet somewhat repetitive.
I never heard of Katatonia before yesturday but is now quite easily my new favorite band for the moment, the song Leaders and "Do they know" are second to none but the Viva Emptiness album is actually boring as hell, sorry but it is.

Currently downloading Captain-America's list.
