I've been scouring through the networks of underground metal sites, WinMX, and demo CD's (so the artists at least get paid!), and I keep coming up with a bunch of cool stuff, mediocre stuff, and lame ****. It's so hard to find awesome metal bands.
I need some names of artists that can keep up with these guys: (Don't stress yourself horns666!)
Children of Bodom
Dimmu Borgir
Cradle of Filth
Symphony X
Archenemy
Shadows Fall
Iced Earth
I'm more of a fan of different sounds. For example, the keyboard part in Downfall (COB) was very different than what I'm used to hearing. Also, the keyboard part in Symphony X's "Smoke in Mirrors" is so **** awesome, and the guitar solo following kicked **** ass too. SF is lucky I tuned into them, their sound is like every other underground metal band; it was skill that made me buy the record. By rereading this, I think I found out I'm somewhat of a keyboard whore.
Mediocre bands, ones that I might buy in the future but I thought they sounded like everyone else. Almost all had the typical lineup of sounds:
Lacuna Coil
Meshugga
Strapping Young Lad
Nile
Glass Casket
Deicide
Enforsaken
Bands that I thought sucked:
ATREYU-no offense to anybody that likes them, but the record that I bought (I can't even remember the name, but it had two hornets on it) is one of the few I've ever taken back to the store. I thought it sounded like Blink182 trying to be metal.
My Ruin-My opinion of this band is based on one track(Made to Measure), so it's probably not too fair. I just hated everything about the track. I hated the vocals, the guitar, everything.
