[Atticus.]

so i find myself slowly getting into more and more metal. i think its a good thing... i guess its just the natural progression from hardcore to metal core and now im really liking all the metal bands my friends have suggested to me

so if i like bands like
ill nino
nile
in flames
children of bodom
caliban
cradle of filth

etc etc
who else might i be into
im aware some of those might be considered shitty metal bands so tell me some good ones and get me headed down the right path

 

[mr_brightside]

Fear Factory
Opeth
Axis of Perdition
Meshuggah

off the top of my head. post more laterz

 

[Atticus.]

will definatly check out the bottom two... wasnt so keen on fear factory and i already like opeth

 

[mr_brightside]

so no industrial metal at all?

meshuggah is hella crazy.
try perpetual black sound, spasm and war

 

[Atticus.]

im not entirely sure what industrial metal is?
i know what nu metal is *shrugs*

industrial..i would say;
metal riffs and vocals everything,
but usually with lots of electronica/synthed out shit in there.

edit: if you like that get static x (try anything from shadow zone album for starts)

 

[Atticus.]

so would in flames be industrial?

 

[mr_brightside]

so would in flames be industrial?

hmmm...no....

in flames have that melodic/folkish metal sound to them, with not THAT much electronic...

 

[Atticus.]

right
so nightwish? they are preety electronic

 

[mr_brightside]

I guess. Im talking more; NIN, static, ff, marilyn manson

all that said...im no metalhead...
I like everything

 

[Gavvvvvin]

Pantera for their awesome riffs.
Iron Maiden for bruces awesome vocals.

 

[Atticus.]

yeh me too im into everything
bar country haha

the only real area that i know anything about genres is punk and hardcore... metal confuses me! but i want to learn!

 

[RiCkiE]

Slayer, Megadeth, Metallica, Anthrax, Slipknot...i'm not that into metal

 

[Trigger_003]

Nightwish are probably more gothic metal. At least that's what people I know call them.

I don't know if you'll like these, but hey, here are a few I'm into that haven't been mentioned yet...
Symphony X. The Edge of Forever is a good song by them.
Dream Theatre
Dave Martone - this guy incorporates just about every genre into his music. Some crazy composition going on with him.

You might get into Dragonforce for a while. They're great at first but most of their songs sound the same so chances are you'll get over them pretty quickly. Worth the listen though.

Also, you might like this stuff by one of my mates:

Check out Demon Ritual for one, but most tracks are pretty sweet.

And just for the hell of it, http://www.soundclick.com/bands/songInfo.cfm?bandID=298392&songID=2587659
It sounds a lot better metal, amirite?

 

[Megan5]

Give Dimmu Borgir a try..
As well as.. Cannible Corpse, Arch Enemy, Soil, Soulfly, Hatebreed, Slayer and A Perfect Circle.
My Dying Bride are also brilliant - I recommend you definitely listen to them.
