Just a suggestion, could everyone bold the band names? It makes it easier to pick them out from the text.

For more "cookie monster" stuff that I actually like (very melodic despite the vocals), there's:
Dark Tranquility - "Damage Done" is a great album
Carcass - "Heartwork" and "Swansong" are goodComment

Listening to Sleeping Stars right now. Cool stuff. Very reminiscent of Arcturus, but a bit more Viking.Originally posted by Ben... View PostScottComment

So what's Bill Z's take on Haggard? And do you know of anyone else doing anything similar?Comment

Martyr a technical metal band out of Quebec insanely good, solos are Allan Holdsworth'esque if you like that, the first album Hopeless Hopes seems like old thrash with technical and progressive elements, the second Warp Zone sounds like Death(Human and Individual Thought Patterns era style) and Meshuggah, once again with that little push of technicality, and the third album Feeding The Abscess IS REALLY REALLY TECHNICAL and hard to get into if you haven't heard the first 2 albums or are used to heavily technical metal
Personally for starting off with them Hopeless Hopes and/or Warp Zone are really good starts, personally I find Warp Zone to be their best work.Last edited by jesude22; 07-08-2008, 01:40 AM.Jackson SL-2H Soloist (Ferrari Red)

Also, good work getting this off to a start guys. If it gets a bit bigger I'll see if I can create an alphabetized list of bands or something of that nature. I definitely have to check out some of these bands."Dear Dr. Bill,

Where did he say it was just metal bands? Almost all the metal recommendations I've gotten here have been pretty much unlistenable noise.Originally posted by horns666 View Post
But to understand where I'm coming from, you must realize that my favorite new-to-me band in the last year or so is Blue Man Group...
please don't put it into words, 'cause I fear what you're thinkingComment

The Cinematic Orchstra - Something ambient and a bit jazzy at time.
