Tell me a band thats gonna blow me away

Steoob

hey all im sick of not finding any new bands lately.. well good ones anyway.. i'll never forget when i first heard opeth..they were the last band to freak me out in terms of sending shivers down my spine...im actually coming to the point were i think ive heard and judges pretty much every metal band there is... ive used last.fm for months now and i still haven't found anyone new... maybe like strapping young lad are the only band to come close but theyre still not what im looking for...

help me please!

Karl Hungus

Have you heard Atheist?

Laguna

Girls Aloud... oh!, you said blow you away

Doctor J

Symbyosis

Cynic

Aghora

Mastodon

John

In addition to the Doc's and Mr Hungus' suggestions I'd tell you to listen to Death. I'd also highly recommend Pelican.

Necronomicon

You into Testament? They definately blew me away when I first started listening, still do.

Pugsley

Athiest, Pelican, Death, Morbid Angel, Opeth, Behemoth, Mithras.

Shiminay

Beneath The Massacre - I was absolutely astounded by them the first time I heard them - it was relentless!

You may as well through Jesu in there for good measure. I was going to suggest Swans but I think Steoob likes things fast. Still, more people should listen to Swans. They cure cancer.

I fully endorse this product/service.

The Bollox

well Trivium are the **** IMO I'm going to see them for the second time in March

another band I recently got into are Dragonforce, brilliant stuff! I mean check out their lead guitarist, Herman Li's, hair!

pbsuxok1znja4r

The Fall Of Troy, Saosin, Thrice, The Mars Volta, Finch, Pelican, Glassjaw, Refused.
All are bands that I would place in the "blow me away" category.

ok so ive checked out alot of the bands here...pelican are very cool although its seems like theyre trying to emulate opeth too much... their song structures are all the same its odd...

doc i really wanna check out symbyosis but the files in that link dont work...

never are ****in class!...but i just cannot listen to them due to the gayest singing ive ever heard...why do band let their singers **** them up like that? *cough* trivium *cough*

once again sikth..dont like the singing...

checkin out carcass now ive heard very good things about them so im hopin theyre good...

thanks for the suggestions i really thought nevermore came close to blowing me away but then it was like NO hate the singin..but o well

on the plus side ive fallen back in love with opeth... i heard april ethereal the other day for the first time in ages and when i heard the solo/post solo i nearly squirted myself and when i heard the outro i did....

Really? I don't get an Opeth vibe off them at all (apart from them both having really long songs!).

ya thats what i meant they dont really sound the same they rip off their structure...almost exavtly actually...theres some song with a creepy fade in...acoustic breakdown...piano outro... sound familiar?
