@mad : I would lie if id say i heard of any of those bands, but im interested in giving them a change. Any fav song u recommend ? (i guess they are all on the rock side of the music since i would probably know if they were electro and *checkin what blasts from ur speakers topic* from what u mainly listen, so try giving me smth "soft" if possible) thnx btw for writting it down though my wishes of IDing any of ur bands didnt succed

Cool that you wanna take a look into other genres. But if you wanna start taking bites into metal, you'd be much, much better off starting with stuff Azrael listens to, to not look far.

Bands like Amon Amarth, In Flames and Gojira are better for people new to metal because they have much cleaner production, are way more melodic and have less extreme overtones.

Now, if you want to check out anything from my list, i'd suggest Immortal, the album i listed, 'At the Heart of Winter' specifically since it's filled with Heavy Metal riffs and many melodic parts. It's probably their mildest album. Drudkh and Enslaved are obvious second choices (honestly, anything from the two albums mentioned is a good representation of what they play).

If you're desperate go for Unheilvoll (a very obscure demo band, good luck getting any material ), or Blot Mine/Portal, but Blot Mine/Portal will probably be too noisy for you (even if the rest won't).

I wouldn't call Paysage d'Hiver or Reverorum ib Malacht strictly metal bands, as they implement dark ambient and weird samples here and there to make the music more atmospheric. If you wanna hear something different, go for them.

Leave Gnaw Their Tongues and Nekrasov alone, at least for now. Most people wouldn't say they even play music, just some weird ass fucked up noise. And they wouldn't be far from the truth.

Solid list there.

\m/

Also, i agree. People have preferences and tastes, of course, but if you look hard enough, you'll find something to your liking in nearly any genre there is.

:thumbleft: Great choice.

wow, another person hearing andrew bird i thought i was the only one in the world.. made me curious of how ur list 'd look like..

Depeche, Marillion and RATM get mirc's seal of approval. Good stuff. Funny how each list has one album/group that sticks out genre wise. I don't know half of the other bands, the toughest music I can stomach is Metallica's early records.
