Akercocke is quite good. They play progressive death metal or something like that. Im not very fond of the growls but the clean vocals are awsome. Also I love their riffs.

And you should check this vid out too. They were on the Noland show in Ireland, pretty fucking hillarious.

akercocke own souls \m/ fun band live too, 'words....' is an amazing album

I wish Akercocke would come and play the states. They're a unique band, for sure. Between the black metal and progressive moments, there's something in there for everyone's ears to hear.

More people need to listen to Sculptured. It's on par with the greatness of Agalloch (which is saying a lot), yet completely different music.

Also, Primordial is one of the best bands ever.

They toured here a few years ago. My friend Martti was their driver on that tour.

and Atheist and Gnostic!!! I would totally go there if I had the chance

Frost of War is pretty cool. I was actually getting sneak peeks through the doors of the recording studio, they were in there at the same time as we were, hehe.

And we are lucky concert-wise here, I'm going to see HoB perform for free in 8 days, hehe.

This band is from California. They play old school thrash, quick and to the point, with a Possessed influence, as well as punk. Their latest is "Realm Of Terror", and they've also released an ep, "Evil In The Night".

Empyrium plays some serious sorrowful music. Definitely a folk inspired doom metal band. Great stuff to play while it storms here in Minnesota. Check it out:

Slumber is a melodic doom act (with some goth tendencies) from Sweden. They released "Fallout" in 2004. I just got it recently and it is still blowing me away. Just a fantastic album.

I love Akercocke. Words.. is probably my favorite. They play some pretty obscure stuff. All their albums are solid.
