Good call on Katatonia. Ive been listening to them quite a bit thanks to pandora. I've also discovered Elis and Dragonforce. "Black Angel" and "Evening Star" are tracks from those bands that are really good. Somehow I doubt I'm enlightning many people in this thread though...

Now you will pay for your freedom in the currency of honest toil and human blood."

Haven't heard Elis. DragonForce is however very good which I have probably written 100 times in this thread already so I don't need to worship them anymore right now [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
Another pretty nice band is Suidakra. They play some kind of extreme gothenburg-esque folk metal.
I'm listening to the Northside Kings, pretty cool band for playing hardcore.
The singer was the one who knocked out Danzig a while back with one punch.
Has anyone else been listening to the almighty ENTOMBED lately?

Never liked Entombed.
RECOMMENDATION: Listen to Deathstars NOW. Awesome band which hails from Sweden, the guitarist (Emil Nodtveidt) is the younger brother of the singer from Dissection (Jon Nodtveidt). They play some kind of industrial metal. A very good comparison would be The Kovenant. If you are even a small fan of electronica in your metal, then get their albums NOW. The newest one, Termination Bliss, is to be released 2006 but is already out on the net. So get it.
Their first album (they only made two so far), Synthetic Generation, is also awesome.

I'm liking Deathstars so far. I think the only song that really got me was "Tounges". It reminds me a lot of Rammstein. I don't listen to a whole lot of metal, so that's the only good comparison I can draw, but it's composition reminds me of about 3 Rammstein songs all in one.
Also, the cover of Termination Bliss made me laugh.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
Started to listen to Evergrey today. Pretty well known band but i can't remember them showing up here so i thought i'd give a shout out.
Got their 2003 release(i think) Recreation Day and it sounds very good. The first time i heard this record back a year ago i wasn't impressed at all, in fact i didn't like it but now that i have broadened my music taste i find them very good.
Give them a listen!
@Xan: Yes the cover is funny hehe. And I don't think Rammstein is a bad comparison at all. Tongues also happens to my favorite track as well. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
@PSJ: Recreation Day is the best album. Good choice [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
Deathstars are fucking amazing. Got Termination Bliss.
Told ya so.
Now listening to the promo version of the new Edguy album "Rocket Ride". Promising!
So, it's been a year since Dimebag Darrell was killed... and it doesn't feel any better.
Some photos of his resting place:
Now his family are suing the club it happened in.. and the only reason I support that is because something has to be done to heighten security measures at concerts.
RIP Dime

Wow, can't believe it's been a year already.
I do think it's pretty lame to sue the club though. That's not gonna solve anything.
But as you say, security needs to be heightened overall. But that's not just this particular club's fault.
It is their fault however that he got shot since they didn't have enough security, it can serve as a warning for every other club if they do have to pay.
More band info!
Katatonia, i think Terra has recommended them already but they are fucking awesome. You better try Viva Emptiness, their 2003 release NOW!
I glance through the first page, and it fills me with considerable sadness. Linkin Park and Disturbed being called metal? Ugh.Originally posted by: Terracosmo

BUT THEN TERRA MENTIONS DRAGONFORCE.
My god they're awesome... Here are a few bands I like...
In Flames (the old stuff. Everything after Reroute to Remain sucks), Dark Tranquillity, Arch Enemy, Rhapsody, DragonForce, Norther, Kalmah, Children of Bodom, Shadowsfall, At the Gates, Bloodbath, IRON MAIDEN, Finntroll... I'm forgetting a bunch too.
I noticed Maiden in capslock. You're a bif Maiden fan? What era do you like the best?

You should just ignore the first 5 pages of this topic, as it's full with mallcore chattering and an attempted flame war courtesy of a few retards.
Yea, this thread really had a bad start but with some good people with a good taste in music this thread became one of the best on these boards.
I love Maiden. I guess I like Dickinson the best, but then again, most of the Maiden songs are with Dickinson. Killers and Prowler are both fantastic albums, and ... umm... Well Futureal was a awesome song. Blaze Bayley is just meh. His vocals didn't match with the feel of Iron Maiden, if that makes any sense. Then again, I'm not a big fan of deep, nonraspy vocals (like Iced Earth or Nevermore.)Originally posted by: PSJ

Edit: Wait a minute, Prowler isn't an album... What the hell was I thinking? I meant Iron Maiden.
This was one of the greatest tragedies to strike the world of rock n' roll. Ever. Every time I think about it I get pissed off and heart-broken. I like that the family took time to consider whether or not suing the club was the right way to go. This is being done with as clear a head as its going to get. They don't need the money, so the fight must be to get a point across. I support them in this. I never want to see something like this happen to one of my favorite artist ever again. I actually burst into tears at the computer lab in school when I signed onto aim to speak to some friends. Aim today is how I first heard about this. Dec. 8th is also my birthday, so you can imagine, if there was anything good going for it that day, or if anything good was to happen later, it wasn't good anymore. Darrell Abbott, you and your music will forever be missed. RIP \m/Originally posted by: The Heretic Azazel

I agree with you fully. Bruce is what people think Maiden is, he is the singer that fits Maiden the best. Blaze is the worst in my opinion as they have a Bruce friendly sound on the Blaze albums and Blaze just can't do it like Bruce can. The first 2 albums works because they are heavier and raw-er than what Maiden became when Bruce joined.Originally posted by: Giboc

So what Ablum do you like the best? For me it's Dance of Death. I love the new stuff.
I might have to go with Brave New World or Powerslave. Brave New World has so many awesome songs, like the Wicker Man. That's probably one of my favorite Maiden songs. Then on Powerslave, we have classics like Aces High. I've heard covers of that song by Arch Enemy and Children of Bodom. The original is still much better.
