Can anyone recommend good metal/industrial/rock bands???

Klytus · 22-07-2002 5:30pm #1

I'm always lookin to hear new bands and interested in anything that's original. I don't have much interest in too many nu-metal bands, some are good. Anyway I'm interested to hear about any really (bands and the best albums).

I love Tool, metallica, alice in chains, machine head and **** load of others. Especially stuff like opeth aswell. Love their music and vocals but that black metal roar isn't really for me...anyone know bands that play like that and sing like the others? That aside I'm interested in hearing about good bands regardless.

Cheers folks.

i`m pretty big into nu metal really , but a good band that i`ve been listening to recently are iron maiden , i know yeah they are around with a fair while , and maybe you`ve heard em before an liked them or hated them , i dont know , but if you didnt , i`d recommend that you check them out .

Ministry

If you like an origional band try Dream Theatre

If you want just outright superb guitar work, try In Flames. (pornapster will back me up on both of these

)

Well, seeing as Industrial and Metal are quite different, I'll throw you some reconmendations from both sides.

Industrial:
(If you think that Rammstein = Industrial, then you probably won't like this. And if you think Fear Factory = Industrial, then you're beyond all hope.

) (Some goth here also)

Ministry
Skinny Puppy
KMFDM
Die Krupps
Apoptygma Berserk
VNV Nation
Pop Will Eat Itself
Sulpher
Tweaker
Mesh
Razed In Black
London After Midnight
Switchblade Symphony

And now for some good Rock and Metal:
Although, Mikael Akerfeldt's distorted vocals are more towards death metal than black metal, I'll take it that you just don't like distorted vocals.

Anathema (Older stuff is far heavier)
Nightwish
Iced Earth
Blind Guardian
Misery Loves Co.
In Flames
Dark Tranquility (If you like In Flames...)
Fields Of The Nephilim

Hope that is Satisfactory.

Fear Factory definately... and if your gonna get one of their albums I recommend "Demanufacture". It is IMO one of the best albums ever in metal. Not just in Industrial Metal.

And what Pugsley said.

I also agree with alot of the bands AngelWhore put up there.

i would recommend Dredg.it's just music.you cant classify it

it's kinda rocky at times.sometimes it borders on metal,sometimes jazz.but it's really amazing

deco · 23-07-2002 12:06pm

Nine Inch Nails.....never doubt the power of Trent Reznor...

Ph3n0m · 23-07-2002 12:15pm

I would recommend any of the following

Suicidal Tendencies
Slayer
Carcass
Testament
NIN
Ministry
Death
Obituary
Anthrax
Pantera
Faith No More
Anathema
Opeth
SOD (just for sheer humour)

and there are many more besides

Klytus · 23-07-2002 5:02pm

Thank's y'all, I've heard about 80% of those bands already but cheers for the recommends...there's a few there I'll definately check out.

rubyseyes · 13-08-2002 12:11am

i'd have to recommend

the cult - love & electric
anything by the sisters of mercy
rasputina - 3 girls with cello and a drummer except they got chris vrenna on industrial programming and they run their cello's thru metal zone distortion pedals!!! check em out!

Karl Hungus · 13-08-2002 1:07am

Rasputina are VERY cool indeed. Love their song Transylvanian Concubine.

deco · 13-08-2002 4:04am

Pitchshifter...espically there early stuff...brilliant.... check out there album www.pitchshifter.com brilliant...

Steve M · 17-08-2002 6:37pm

Pitchshifter (nice choice Deco)

Since you say you like Alice In Chains then You have to check out Jerry Cantrells solo album Degradation Trip.

36 Crazyfists play real heavy and vocally they mix the singing and screaming. They only have one album called Bitterness The Star.

Sinch sound really like Tool and are definitely worth a listen too. Only one album available over here and its self-titled.

A Japanese mate of mine recommended Mad Capsule Markets, they'd be kinda in line with what you're looking for (I think).

The cd's called 'Osc-Dis', I have no idea what the songs are, my copy is all in Japanese, a language I'm not too fluent in.

They're kind of industrially metally thing.

Silverfish · 18-08-2002 4:26pm

Aw go on, I can see the headlines.....

ANGELWHORE BITES HEAD OFF LIVE SILVERFISH

If you're looking to hear rock /metal without paying many europes , can I recommend:

Ray McGowan (all kneel / rock handsignals) on Phantom Fm, 88.1 and 91.6, on Thursday nights?

Not only does he play good stuff, but if you're a girlie, he has one of those voices......you know the ones I'm talking about.......

Can anyone recommend good metal/industrial/rock bands???
