The first thing that came to mind was Orianthi, haven't heard a lot of her stuff and the earlier stuff seemed quite poppy and light but she also made this so her music seems worth exploring. It's not exactly metal though. Otep are also a thing. Not sure if it's my thing, need to listen to more of them, but it's a thing. As for Arch Enemy, i completely agree. Nemesis is the only song of theirs i've really liked. Incidentally that song plus Twilight Of The Thunder God and All Shall Fall were the songs that got me into screamed vocals.

Also, "Twilight of the Thunder God" is a rad as fuck song. Gosh if only those vocals were like 5% louder. But regardless, it's a really kickass tune. So my crazy Youtube rabbit hole at work, which has been a crazy mix of rock, power metal, more power metal, tad more power metal, slice of death metal, and trash metal kicked up a bad called Eluveitie.

Conker Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 DOUBLEPOST Because fuck it. My thread. So ol @KyryK mentioned "Twilight of the Thunder God" and I found myself bored at work today with access to youtube and a very nice speaker hooked up to my shitty computer because my IT department = trolls. Well, I tossed that album on and had a god damned good time listening to it. Jammed hard man! I might have to pick up that album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feraleks Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I became familiar with Gojira through From Mars to Sirius, which I consider a strong album, but I'm still not really sure how I feel about them. Something about them just doesn't quite sit with me. Someone wanted black metal. I'm probably not the right person to be giving recommendations since I don't listen to that stuff all that much, but Immortal's Abbath is releasing an album this month and so far it just sounds like a barrell of fun. Definitely not trve kvlt stuff though, it that's what was required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conker Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 So last time I listened to "Adoration for None" by Gojira I thought, "I should check out Lam of God" since that's where Randy hails. Put on their newest album and enjoyed it more or less. It didn't really stick, but I had fun. Drove one of my cowworkers fucking nuts, so more power tome. But I'm wondering what the best place to start is with that band. They've got a lot of albums. Bah. Like I need more of this kind of growly, rage-infested metal. Told myself I'd cut back and find something new, but nope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not the biggest fan of Amon Amarth (or Death Metal in general) but Twilight, Runes to my Memory and Destroyer of the Universe are fantastic songs. As we're on DM i may as well post some of my favourite bands though. Bolt Thrower Death. Incidentally The Sound of Perseverance was the album i learned how to do screamed vocals with, it's ridiculously fun but i haven't done it in a while. Carcass Portal Sinister As for Eluveitie...eh, no.

feraleks Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Moonsorrow is objectively the best black folk metal band in the world. As for Eluveitie, not really that much into them except for the acoustic album. Just not a fan of the whole Gothenburg element. They do rock live though, as folk metal bands generally tend to.

Yep, the vocals are comparatively weak but everything else about them is fantastic. You might like Matkan Lopussa a little more idk. As for black folk metal, as far as i'm aware most of the folkier stuff out there also has strong black metal elements but i could be wrong. Haven't listened to a lot of it. The only other folk metal bands that have stuck with me are Finntroll and Korpiklaani. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm generally not a huge fan of the intentionally poor production and I think Saor does suffer a little from the quality, if it was just a little sharper I think the music would really come to life, but I wouldn't want it to be really clean and crisp either.

The whole lo-fi thing really fits some music especially if the band is going for a sound that's a bit on the sinister side, but I guess it's not for everyone. I happen to like Saor's messy guitars and distant-sounding growls 'cause to me they add to that expansive feel the music has, like someone is playing it really loud just over the next hill. 11 hours ago, Cyril said: Deconstruction is one of his best, though.
