[Bonesaw85]

Looking for some new metal if anyone can help me out. My favorite bands in no real order are.......


In flames
Trivium
Devil driver
Unearth
lamb of god
God forbid
Shadows fall
Children of bodom
Arch enemy
As I lay dying (Some are sweet, some not so much)
Nevermore
3 inches of blood (awesome fantasy style metal)

[Binder of Demons]

Sorry Bonesaw, can't help you on that one. Metal ain't really my thing, though I am partial to some instrumental hard rock/metal or post-rock or whatever they call it these days. I wouldn't worry though, you'll get plenty of suggestions here.

Totally unrelated....
Just came across it after years
Telegraph Road by Dire Straits

When they were good, they were very very good, and when they were bad.......

[Bonesaw85]

You should check out Nevermore, it's pretty gnarly

[Giles]

Survivor - No Easy Way Out
atm im a bit drunk but from a quick look at your list Bonesaw i see you didnt put Hatebreed so id definitely suggest them and il have a better look when im sober

[Bonesaw85]

wow, the only band I forgot to add to the list....... One of my lesser favorites tho


Please do get back to me with any other suggestions. There are lot's of other bands where I like the music but the singer just kills it fir me

[Tiste Simeon]

@Bonesaw, judging by your list you like your metal hard and fast, although you also like a lot of the Gothenberg scene which is pretty boring imo... (I used to LOVE bands like In Flames, Arch Enemy etc. If you do like it, try Insomnium, Iced Earth or Dark Tranquillity. Not personal recommendations in that I am not a massive fan, but you might like them)
But Machine Head, Killswitch Engage or Bloodbath would probably fit nicely in with the rest of your music.

If you want some more variety however here are some bands and imo their best album:

Alter Bridge - Black Bird (not strictly metal but very good plus excellent guitarist);
Becoming the Archetype - Dichotomy;
Dark Suns - Existence;
Death - Sounds of Perseverance;
Devin Townsend - Ziltoid the Omniscient/Terria (the band Strapping Young Lad is his more heavy and Fast band...);
Disillusion - Back to Times of Splendor;
Dream Theater - Train of Thought;
Edge of Sanity - Crimson and Crimson II;
Enslaved - ISA/Vertebrae;
Evergrey - In Search of Truth;
Gojira - From Mars to Sirius;
Kekal - 1000 Thoughts of Violence;
Karnivool - Themata or Sound Awake (again, not strictly metal but so freaking awesome!);
Lykathea Aflame - Elvenfris (good luck getting a copy mind!!);
Mastodon - Crack the Skye (Blood Mountain also worth getting!);
Meshuggah - I;
Necrophagist - Epitaph;
Nightwish - Once/Dark Passion Play (Different singers, different vibes both good!);
Nile - Annihilation of the Wicked;
Opeth - Still Life/Ghosts of Perdition;
Orphaned Land - Mabool;
Pain of Salvation - Remedy Lane (I prefer Be but that is so far away from what you might consider metal, it's probably worth getting into the band before you try it...);
Riverside - Rapide Eye Movement;
TesseracT - They only have a 3 track demo out AFAIK but its pretty good!;
Textures - Drawing Circles;
Turisas - Everything they have done! (Vikings and Wenches and Beer!);
Unexpect - Novae.

I don't expect you to like all of them, especially as some of them fall into the very weird category, but they should get you started.

Ok a few more that i like as you seem to have similar tastes, Disarmonia mundi are good
5FDP (id recommend the first album "Way of the Fist" as the new albums a bit more popular sounding though it has a few good songs)
Hypocrisy
and from your list you might like Pain. im not sure but il put them out there anyway

[Tiste Simeon]

No Disturbed on there, Baudin?

A couple more for you, from the "classic metal" scene: Judas Priests' Painkiller album and it might be worth getting something like the Greatest Hits of Megadeth, got some cracking tunes on there.
Oh, and "Night Marauders" by 3 Inches of Blood is an epic track.

[Giles]

How did i forget about them tbh id be very surprised if he hadnt heard disturbed with that list .
I just thought of another one though, Motograter are pretty good, at least the old stuff, ive heard they got back together recently but havent heard that stuff so cant comment

[Tiste Simeon]

Death - Scavenger of Human Sorrow

[Giles]

Combichrist- Deathbed

[Bonesaw85]

Thanks for the suggestions boys, will be sure to youtube those today.

And hell yeah Night Marauders is a wicked song. If I remember correctly (which I probably don't) that was the first song of the set played when I saw 3 inches play in a tiny bar with like 30 people. It was awesome, they were'nt on any sort of stage so you could just go up and slap hands with the dude!!

Oh shit, just saw they have a new CD out, will have to download that.
