Dave aka Coma Divine is now able to say something about this band as well .

Huh?
*looks around quickly*

Wha?

Hehe, actually I'd place No-Man closer to Sigur Ros than Porcupine Tree if it came to a choice. The "prog" elements are toned down considerably in favour of a simpler, yet soulful and quiet melancholy. Bowness' vocals remind me (as does some of the overall feel) of David Sylvian.



Returning Jesus (2002) is along similar lines, and probably my preferred of the two that I've heard thus far, if only for the beautiful closing track "All That You Are".
Definitely a late night cruise, these guys. Nice music to have in the background among the candles when one is gettin' it onnnn.

I would imagine.

must get my fingers on that one too...Together we´re stranger was easy to buy here in a local store but that one won´t be so easy. But I´ll find a way. 2 No-Man recommendations...if that doesn´t get people to check them out, then I don´t know whatelse will

time to reload this thread again.

Mono - Walking cloud and deep red sky, Flag fluttered and the sun shined


Just recently discovered this Japanese band and I really love this Album. You can compare their music to stuff from Explosions In The Sky or Godspeed You Black Emperor! but I think they're easier to get into than GYBE. The sound is a bit rough, probably like on EITS's Those who tell the truth... . There are also no vocals on this Album. If you like Post Rock, you should give them a chance.

Old school recommendation day:

Classic German death metal with a modern edge. Still a great listen after 12 years.

VAST - Video Audio Sensory Theater
Awesome songs and production. This is their first album, Alternative/Industrial with a dash of metal.

haven't done this here for quite a while so here we go:

Mistress . In Disgust We Trust


Damn good Grind/Crustcore/Sludge influenced by Napalm Death, Extreme Noise Terror, etc. featuring Dave and Mick from Anaal Nathrakh. I can listen to that Album over and over again and it just doesn't get boring because all songs are really great. You can listen to a song here:

Smaxone - Regression


Very good "Pop" Metal which definitely sounds like it was influenced by Dev's music. If I'm not mistaken this band features Mnemic members. One of them is their singer Michael. The sound of this Album is not 100% great but I doubt that there was a lot of money there for the production but the songs still are really good. Listen to some samples here:

Satariel - Hydra


I just recently discovered this band although they are not really newcomers. I don't know much about them but I think they're from Sweden. They play some kind of Melodic Death Metal but mostly a bit slowed down and the clean vocals are really great too. Check out some songs here:

that should be enough for now

Anything by the Wildhearts - but Earth Vs The Wildhearts in particualar.
The Mad Capsule Markets - Osc-Dis (Oscillator in Distortion)
Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
Fantomas - The Directors Cut
Faith No More - Angel Dust


I must admit i aint that metal. The only metal i really listen to is Strapping Young Lad.

Satariel - Hydra

Ephel: I know the drummer, good band! Phobos & Deimos roxx

[EphelDuath666]

cool, dude...I really only know this Album but I really like it a lot. Nice to chill to.

I haven't read through this thread, so some of these might be repeats, but I guess if they're repeats, it's just reinforcement to check it out. If you're interested in hearing any of them, just PM me and I'll send you a couple songs or whatever:

Dog Fashion Disco: Mr. Bungle-esque metal band from Baltimore, MA. Their sound has been described as "circus metal," and they're a great bunch of guys. They just recently got the opportunity to write the musical score for Paul Schrader's Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist.

Tub Ring: Very unique sounding band... almost punkish in parts, metal in other parts. Amazing keyboard work.

Opeth: An amazing band that everyone should hear if they haven't. There probably aren't too many people on here that haven't heard of them.

Between the Buried and Me: Kind of a blend of thrash/death metal/hardcore/progressive genres that prove to give them an awesome, unique sound.

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum: Very unique experimental band. They have heavy moments, yet also very mellow moments. They don't sound like anything I've ever heard before.

he doesnt have an album per say he does have a website they u can listen to his stuff guys name is chad boltzx he does mash ups of classic earache death metal bands and puts vocals of pop/rb/rap artists very funny its a pisser heres a link http://xxx.reek.tv/x.htm

voodoo church

Hidden In The Fog - Damokles



I discovered this band some weeks ago. They are from Germany and their music can be compared to the last 3 Albums by Emperor. Definitely, to be exact. And maybe they were also influenced by bands like Arcturus or Borknagar but the main influence is obviously Emperor. If you like Prometheus and IX Equilibrium then you'll have to give Hidden In the Fog a try. Btw, 2 of them are half African. Not that this makes any difference...but let's face it. It's not the most common thing in BM. Here's a link to a trailer mp3:

Riverside - Second Life Syndrome


This Polish band could be interesting for people who enjoy bands like Porcupine Tree, Kino, Pink Floyd, etc. Of course they don't re-invent the Prog Rock genre but still they do their job really well! Their new Album "Second Life Syndrome" is absolutely brilliant and can be somewhat compared to PT's newer Albums because Riverside also mix some "heavier" parts into their music. Unfortunately there's no mp3 of one of their new songs posted on their website but you can listen to a song from their last Album when you follow this link:
http://www.riverside.art.pl/mp3/07.Rive ... nds_hi.mp3

i might have said it before but listen to alice in chains, those guys can rock !!!


by the by, that mono website was killer >.< good stuff

wow, i have to say this is the best recommendations thread ive read on any board. ive gotten a few songs from about 7 bands on here to listen to.


now my recommendation is:


Oceansize



i cant tell you too much about them cos i am just listening to a few songs myself from them and i am really interested in them

lots of catchy metal, beautiful mellow songs and a touch of atmosphere here and there they REALLY remind me of a muse type band, but much more colourful.

that riverside song was really good.
