j0e

basicaly name a band you think deserve a mention and what kinda of ppl would like them like so...

deathstars - for those who like rammstein
http://myspace.com/deathstars

celldweller - NIN
http://myspace.com/celldweller

edit: plz no metallica or Red hot chill peppers, I would like bands slightly of the beated track

It wasn't me!

Aghora, for those who like Atheist, Death, Cynic, technical stuff, with oodles of groove.

http://www.myspace.com/aghora

Aborted, for those who like Cryptopsy, Myrskog, other such purveyors of heaviness.

http://www.myspace.com/g0remagedd0n

Pugsley

Second the notion for Aborted, superb band.
A couple more extreme death bands that are definately worth getting:
Benighted (French, Insane Cephalic Production is, imo, the best brutal death album ever)
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=82233757
Mithras (Very technical, quite hard listening but really really superb)
http://www.myspace.com/domainofmithras
Cadaveryne (Pretty Technical, very heavy, worth getting)
http://www.myspace.com/cadaveryne

Other very worthy mentions:
Lykathea Flame (Heavy progressive death, Elvenfris being the best album ever recorded, imo)
http://www.myspace.com/lykatheaflame
Pelican (Instrumental sludge metal, very slow, great chill out music)
http://www.myspace.com/pelican
Mastery (Instrumental thrash, superb stuff)
http://www.myspace.com/masterymetal
Asmodeus (Fairly extreme black metal, with the most impressive drumming I've ever seen)
http://www.myspace.com/6asmo6deus6

Numina

Gothminister - For those who like Deathstars

http://www.myspace.com/gothminister1


Alcest - (used to be french black metal, now turned alt. metal) hard to make a comparison, but if i had to I'd say for those who like Anathema. but i've never heard more beautiful music come from such an unknown band. please check these out.

I wouldn't call it obsessed, haven't mentioned them in a long time here. Just nice to put up names other than the usual suspects.

Yea I think I prefer their debut though. The production on Robin was a bit of a let down too considering how much time they spent talking about the mix on their site. But good stuff nevertheless..

Great band, they were gonna be my recommendation.

How bout Falconer?. Cheesy Power Metal, changed vocalist recently and Im not too mad about him but the vocalist on the self-titled album and Chapters From a Vale Forlorn is great. Really enjoyable music!

Quality instrumental band. Strange electronica with really heavy bits. Love them, playing in cork at the start of next month and I assume dublin too. Go see them

Baroness - www.myspace.com/yourbaroness
Like mastodon only different!

Listening to some of their stuff, it's class.

Anata - Technical, Melodic Death
www.myspace.com/anata

Skyforger - Latvian Black Folk Metal
www.myspace.com/skyforgerofficial

Electric Wizard - Dooooooooom

Runecaster - Celtic Metal tis boi!

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

Rage - specifically the album Ghosts

awesome power metal

when love and fear unite!

Circle: Finnish metal, sounds something like either Judas Priest covering Can or Can covering Judas Priest.

OM: Drummer and bass player from Sleep, psychedelic stoner grooves with strange chanting vocals. Hypnotic and highly recommended.

Wreck of the Hesperus: Irish doom band, very dark and very heavy.

Actually, might as well mention a band I am actually obsessed with...

Trouble

If you love Sabbath like I love Sabbath, then get some of this into you, these guys have been going since the early 80's and just make beautiful Metal

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pdG8PZjVog
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Th8X6RgkAN4

2. Von Hertzen Brothers - Another Finnish band, soft contemp rock (70s style)

The Answer -Rise

Doctor J

some old bands well worth checking out

Sleep - this tune is great but Dopesmoker/Jerusalem is truly mesmerising

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zj9IAvv32wE

Flotsam & Jetsam - often overshadowed due to Newsted, the album Doomsday For The Deceiver is, IMO, one of the best Metal albums of the 80s

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGKFzWlrgrI

Corrosion Of Conformity - pick up their album Blind, solid gold it is

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4vk9ZIP404

and some newer bands of note

Beyond Fear - featuring Tim Owen (Judas Priest, Iced Earth), very good album

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIwnyURTYoY

3 Inches Of Blood - ****ing great band live, just great Metal with a classic feel to it

I second this motion, At the Gates are superb, Amoral and Anata are 2 other great suggestions.
