I found Frantic Bleep last week and they are awesome! A great mixture of different musical stuff with something of their own. Something like avantgarde with a faint hint of thrash and death metal. They are from Norway of course, where else could a band as good as this come from (Except Sweden)?

Hypnos · September 26th, 2006, 07:35 AM

^^yes, they're great. i know this band. they remind me a bit of Madder Mortem

Divatkreació · September 26th, 2006, 09:28 AM

Yeah well apparently Madder Mortem's singer Agnete M. Kirkevaag has been a session vocalist for Frantic Bleep and MM:s ex-bass player also played in FP

You're right, they do sound much like Madder Mortem. I can feel some Ihsahn and Arcturus vibes in their music too.

Arena and Änglagård. Not new bands, but amazing!
I just bought the Arena DVD "Smoke & Mirrors" and I'm deeply impressed. The most enthralling two hours I spend in my life

For those who don't know Arena is an Art-rock/progrock/AOR-band from England.
Änglagård are progrock, too, but have mostly instrumental songs. Really musical stuff

Androz · September 28th, 2006, 05:24 PM

That's strange, I got into Änglagård recently too, I only have Hybris and I love it

Skaldir · September 28th, 2006, 05:31 PM

Then we should let the people listen to them

Hypnos · September 29th, 2006, 05:08 AM

Änglagård is a fine band. be sure to check also Anekdoten and Landberk, quite similar.

It's funny, a lot of people name Änglagård and Anektoden in the same breath, but I think they aren't really comparable.
I have a few Anekdoten albums but I don't think they are that good.
But Landberk is really great, more pop but with great melodies.

Androz · September 29th, 2006, 01:47 PM

Well, I can understand why people name Landberk and Anekdoten together with Änglagård, since they both name it as a big influence

I went to high school with the guitarist/composer/founder of Frantic Bleep. Same thing with four of the members of Madder Mortem. Just wanna see if that gives me any cred at all.

Limbonic · September 30th, 2006, 09:47 AM

Windmills By The Ocean. If you like Isis you will probably like them ( memembers from Isis were in this ) as far as I know they only have a self titled release, but it is amazing.

I'm sure they want to. Not so much up to them as up to record company though..

Hobo · October 2nd, 2006, 11:38 AM

holy damn !! I never knew of them
but now I've heard 'goal of all believe' I'm impressed!!

salient · October 2nd, 2006, 12:09 PM

New bands discovery although interesting much:
Barathrum - kinda finish blackers:-0
Neurosis - cool psychedelic experimental band, so impressed.

Androz · October 2nd, 2006, 12:47 PM

^^ Yeah, Neurosis is really cool, good thing they are still releasing good albums

THe best band I've heared in a long time is Maudlin of the Well (that later changed into Kayo Dot), a nice band with doom/death meta, Jazz, prog-rock, etc influences

Hobo · October 2nd, 2006, 01:06 PM

kayo dot is realy good, although i think they tend to get overdone.. a song or two at a time is just fantastic, but after that i tend to get a bit bored

LifeDepraved · October 2nd, 2006, 01:40 PM

Maudlin Of The Well >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Kayo Dot.

Androz · October 5th, 2006, 11:44 PM

^^ You got that right Kev.

So, there are a few bands/albums I've discovered recently:

Hurt - Vol.1 : Just wow, I can't believe this is their debut album cause the sound of the band is so polished, it has some obvious Tool/APC influences, I can hear some dredg too and some grunge influences

Across Tundras - Dark Songs of the Prairie : This band mixes a sludge Cult of Luna/Isis/Pelican sound with some Psychodelic rock elements, it's really cool but I still have to give it a few more spins

Bubu - Anabelas : This is an Argentinian 1970's band and as you can guess it's prog rock in the veins of King Crimson (Red era) and Magma

raato · October 6th, 2006, 10:14 AM

I found some new and nice bands too..
Few to name SikTh, Boris and Sunn O))).

And the I found Metsatöll (Estonian folkmetal). It was kinda surprise,
because I'm not so keen on folkmetal. Also Drudkh was something new to me.

And few ambient-discoverys to name; Troum (German dark ambient)
and The 4th Floor from Finland.
