Various metal

Here are some metal bands I've been checking out recently. Some will be pretty well known, others maybe a bit less.

Black Dahlia Murder -- Nocturne

~The CD just released or will release soon, I'm not really sure. Anyways its really good.

The Absence -- Riders of the Plauge

~Good if you like up-tempo black metal. Sounds European but I believe the band is American, I'm not 100% sure though.

As I Lay Dying -- An Ocean Between Us

~Your standard metalcore blending. Though I find the vocals somewhat generic to the genre the album is well composed and the instruments sounds great.

Between The Buried and Me -- Colors

~If you liked Alaska you'll like this (I didn't like Alaska.) A bit more tech-metal than Alaska was but it follows a similar format. Long songs that all kinda sound the same to me.

Psyopus -- Our Puzzling Encounters

~Straight grindcore. If you like the genre you'll like this since its some of the best pure grindcore I've found.

Suicide Silence -- The Cleansing

~Recently was introduced to them. Have a very good mixed vox deathmetal sound to them. If you like JFAC's Genesis you'll like these guys [they use significantly more high pitch than Genesis though].

Through The Eyes Of The Dead -- Malice

~Better than Bloodlust, imo. Better range of vocals from this singer. It sounds similar to Bloodlust in the guitars/beats/tempos but the singer is just better. If you like the really dirty sound of Bloodlust you'll still like this guy's sound though.

From The Shallows -- Beyond the Unknown

~New band, this is just an EP. Has a very good thrash metal sound. Again if you liked JFAC's Doom EP you'll like this.

I'm really digging the new As I Lay Dying CD. Had it on repeat in the car for quite some time. =)

Bleh maybe I'm ignorant, but American metal need to diverge more like bands such as Symphony X, Iced Earth, and Testament.

Nope, your not. The majority of American Metal sounds the game. That said, As I Lay Dying is one of the best bands I ever saw in concert. They played with Dragonforce last year and I can honestly say I enjoyed their show more then Dragonforce.

Right now, I'm listening to "The Requiem" by The Confession. I saw a flier listing them as being on tour with Iron Maiden, so I decided to give them a listen. I really don't know how to classify it.

Edit : Okay, I'm finished, and it's not that good.

I'm loving the new As I Lay Dying. They rock, I've seen them live twice! One concert was actually with Through The Eyes of The Dead and The Black Dahlia Murder, both listed above At that show the room was so hot that the bands were playing in that my friend actually went in to a seizure. A few other people had to be carried out also.

Interesting tid-bit is that As I Lay Dying is Christian.

Someone on this board said something about a metal band called Mercenary not too long and I gotta admit I'm really liking them, no luck finding any of their cds around here though.

MySpace.com - Mercenary - Aalborg - Metal / Death Metal / Progressive - www.myspace.com/11dreams

The Absence is American for sure, the guitarist Pete posts on a few boards I frequent. Black metal, though?

Few recommendations with logos and links because I am bored and avoiding work

All Scandinavian bands except Behemoth who are Polish:



Samples from The Apostasy (2007):
Prometherion
Inner Sanctum

Awesome album and their best yet. Similarities to Nile, but more melodic/not so brutal.




Samples from Disintegrate (2006):
MySpace.com - Zyklon - Death Metal / Black Metal / Metal - www.myspace.com/zyklontribe

Samples off their latest album, very innovative for the genre.




Samples from With Oden On Our Side (2007):
Runes to my Memory

Viking death metal, nuff said.




General samples:
Sam Goody: Doom Metal - Opeth Box Set Opeth / CD / 2006

The finest progressive metal band on the planet.




Samples:
OFFICIAL DISSECTION WEBSITE - DOWNLOADS

Defunct blackened death metal / black metal band (deceased frontman), first two albums are by far the best.




Samples from "Victory Songs" (2007):
Blood is the Price of Glory
Ahti
Victory Song

More Viking metal, less primitive than Amon Amarth. Their latest album is fantastic with not a dull song on it.
