Metal Reviews :: View topic - Want a challenge? Recommend me some good stuff..

- Sadist "Season in Silence" (proggy DM from Italy)

- Baphomet's Blood "Metal Damnation" (from Italy too. Motörhead meets Venom... faster!)

- Briton Rites "For Mircalla" (great classic doom from Atlanta)

- Winterborn "Farewell To Saints" (good melodic heavy metal from Finland)

- Voltax "Fugitive State of mind" (old school metal, think Judas Priest meets Running Wild, from Mexico)

- Maudlin of the Well "Part The Second" (great prog/avantgarde)

- Axe Battler "The Wrath Of My Steel" (NWOBHM meets oldschool American Power Metal, from Chile)

That's all for now...

I'd be sure to check that out and give you a heads up on what I think. I don't, however, like that Winterborn much at all. I loved their first one, hated Farewell to Saints. Anyway, that's a nice list, I'll give those bands a shot.

Power Metal:

Kamelot
Helloween
Sabaton
Angra
Early Edguy
Brianstorm
Primal Fear
Virgin Steel

Since "checking" means downloading, I might as well pass you my remastered version of Baphomet's Blood. I had to change it a bit because the initial mix showed close to no bass and was kind of annoying...

Actually in the funeral doom category I would check out Ahab. Not a big fan of this niche but they are really a good funeral doom band.

Yeah, I've been finding my taste for metal to fizzle out a little lately. I need something new, regardless of genre to sink my head into, and really enjoy as I've had quite some trouble with that lately. I don't want a shitload of recommendations that I'll never get through, just a few for each genre. Here's a list of bands I really really like, so you can take it from there. Thanks a bunch! Heavy Metal: - I'm mainly on the prowl for fantastic NWOBHM here like: - old Iron Maiden - Angel Witch - Witchfinder General - Diamond Head - Cloven Hoof Doom Metal: - Mainly old stuff like - Pagan Altar - But also newer stuff like - Candlemass - Doomshine Power Metal: - I absolutely despise stuff like Sonata Arctica and Stratovarius so don't bother. I like rougher stuff, and if it has to be lighter, flowery stuff it has to be extremely catchy, and full of hooks to grab my attention. Blind Guardian won't get through by the way. Neoclassical stuff is nice too. Death Metal: - I'm extremely picky when it comes to Death Metal and only like a couple of bands like: - Death - Nile - Gorod Don't bother with bruuuutal stuff, as I never seem to get into that. Black Metal: - I find myself loving the new trendy, proggy and post-rocky stuff like. Melody is important here as well: - Altar of Plagues - Wolves in the Throne Room - Enslaved Thrash Metal: - Maybe my most beloved genre after heavy metal. Not quite sure what to ask for but stuff like: - Vendetta - Deathrow - Darkness - Tankard - Destruction - Heathen - Overkill Funeral Doom: - Not familiar with this genre at all but I loved - Arcana Coelestia 70's prog/rock - Loving Yes, Rush, Captain Beyond, Focus, Pink Floyd and the likes so go ahead. Remember that I only want what you think is the VERY best of each genre. That would be awesome.

Doom metal: Scald. I think they sing about vikings and they've got the best guitar solos and a ridiculously good singer and their album sounds like it was recorded on a tape recorder. Good times.

They did actually manage to make me feel like stranded in the middle of the ocean with their first album. Great stuff, awesome atmosphere.

This is what I've checked out so far: Sabaton: Bombastic as fuck, but not for me I guess, I can't seem to get into this sort of power metal anymore Angra: Heroes of Sand is an awesome song, I remember loving that a couple of years ago. And well, the rest sounds great, so I better order some stuff by them. Great. Virgin Steele: Sounds pretty awesome so far. I hear that their 90's stuff is their best, so I'll go for it. Theocracy: Best PM I've heard in a while. Very cool. Tad Morose: A bit bland. Checked out Undead. Not my cup of tea. Symphorce: Seems to get a lot of shit, so I went in with no expectations, very charismatic vocals. Still, it's a bit boring, and I'm stuck between checking out more or just tossing it. Sadist: Heard them before, and remember liking it alot. And yeah, this still sounds pretty damn awesome.

Black Metal: As Rio already said, definitely check out Skagos. Also Klabautamann (progressive folky black metal) and Fen. Funeral Doom: Definitely Evoken (although I wouldn't start with this one, it takes a lot of patience). Mournful Congregation
