I needed some dillinger escape plan in my life. all that crap from the Best Music of 2007 thread was turning me into a queerbait.

5/25/2007 11:38:27 PM

And based on the three albums you just mentioned, I wouldn't expect you to listen to Satyricon or Deicide.

5/26/2007 10:50:09 AM

can we fight now. these back and forths arent nasty enough for my tastes.

5/26/2007 10:52:28 AM

No. I can't stand the fighting.

I know. Just thought that somebody might have something to recommend based on my listed preferences.

5/27/2007 2:56:30 PM

to be fair, you're like me in that your preferences probably arent serviced by a good number of death or black metal albums that have been listed. that said, i dont really listen to your bands so i cant help you.

to be fair, none of those bands you listed are really close to metal besides Unearth.

Definitely take the time to check out the stuff in this thread. However based on your initial post listing those 4 bands im thinking you may want something more immediately 'accessible' than some of the metal posted in here. Because of that i'll list you some bands that I think you might like:

i mean, did you really just say this?

come on, dude

5/28/2007 2:15:07 PM

well he's right that a lot of the bands listed in here arent going to cut it for most people. i like metal, but most of that stuff just doesnt work for me or others (unless you're really into THAT type of metal).

that said, there are plenty of types of metal that are more "accessible" so any intimations are unneeded.

[Edited on May 28, 2007 at 2:57 PM. Reason : and suggestiosn like BTBAM arent bad]

5/28/2007 2:56:26 PM

^^ what are you trying to imply? I mean if hes listening to static-x and rage right now and considering it metal he might not be immediately finding Nile, Emperor, Immortal, Deicide, etc. to be his taste right now. Considering he posted this on page 2 when there were already tons of bands listed and he listed bands he listened to I thought maybe he hadnt found things he liked by now...I'm sorry for trying to help a fellow music fan out.

caricature? wtf

5/28/2007 3:06:53 PM

i dont get RATM or Atreyu, but static x can most certainly be seen as metal.

[Edited on May 28, 2007 at 3:14 PM. Reason : and obviously unearth, but you already said that]

5/28/2007 3:14:22 PM

all i remember from Static-X was music in the vein of radio 'hard rock' with yelling and a guy with huge tall black hair back in middle school. Granite I only ever heard one album from one of my friends that was really into them /shrug.

5/28/2007 3:20:29 PM

well ...granite...oh i cant even finish the joke sentence that is so reduckulous.

the line between hard rock and metal can be pretty thin sometimes eh.

5/28/2007 3:26:09 PM

someone needs to rep the 'core in here

http://www.myspace.com/ceremony the most pissed off aggressive band you will hear

http://www.myspace.com/verse hardcore with a message...very politically charged

http://www.myspace.com/blacklisted one of my personal favorites...very heavy/thrashy

http://www.myspace.com/knucklepuckva i feel obliged to list the band because they are a mighty ducks tribute band and hilarious

http://www.myspace.com/thisishell long island represent

http://www.myspace.com/takeoffense high school kids from san diego, which has the best hardcore scene right now imo...so check out some other SD bands (down again, etc)

http://www.myspace.com/gunsuphc recently broke up but got pretty huge and are uber fun

http://www.myspace.com/ambitionhc guys from with honor...very melodic and even have clean vocals

http://www.myspace.com/hopecon boston legends

http://www.myspace.com/riseandfall13 best european band out right now imo

http://www.myspace.com/judasslays metal/thrash but wanted to include them...LISTEN TO THIS BAND

http://myspace.com/lifetimenj paved the way for bands like saves the day/nfg/set your goals



recommended labels

deathwish, inc. operated by converge's jacob bannon

bridge 9- probably the most recognized hardcore label

malfunction records

5/28/2007 7:07:44 PM

update:

Devildriver's cd was quite excellent and i look forward to the new one.

The Human Abstract cd was also great, particularly anyone who previously said they liked Protest the Hero

6/9/2007 10:26:11 PM

Still amazes me Devildriver is ex Coal Chamber...cause god that bad was awful.

6/9/2007 10:28:01 PM

so coal was bad but devil is good or do you just hate it all? cuz im thinking theres a little something for everyone in devildriver's music.

[Edited on June 9, 2007 at 10:37 PM. Reason : i wasnt overly big on coal chamber, but i didnt think it was terrible either ]

6/9/2007 10:37:18 PM

hated cc, devildriver is surprisingly good.

6/9/2007 10:45:10 PM

http://www.myspace.com/knivesexchanginghands my friend's band...check em out, people

6/11/2007 12:45:08 AM

"Granite I only ever heard"

hahahaha


I'll add Corrosion Of Conformity - Wiseblood to the list, although it's more hard rock than metal.

as far as metal goes, I'd say all Metallica from "black" album and earlier, particularly Master Of Puppets. Pantera is killer, too.
