Before you jump at me, I detest most of the stuff (namely your Arctic Monkeys, Cribs, Kooks and Killers type bands) as much as the rest of you, but there are some really great indie / pop bands around that deserve to be listened to. Guillemots are the best around, in my opinion. They write...

I think this may be a split issue on these forums. I only found out about this band recently off of progarchives, but I must say they are really superb. I loved so many albums from 2007, but literally one listen of their album (Act II: The Meaning of & All Things Regarding Ms. Leading) made me...

As Mikael has mentioned, Opeth aren't young anymore. According to the band, they will soon begin recording their 9th studio album, and release their second live dvd. So where do you think they will be heading next? This is not intended to be just about the next album, but in everything Opeth...

I know absolutely nothing about this kind of music, or even if it should be generalised to Israel, but I'd like to hear more of it; probably best described as Orphaned Land without the metal (forgive my ignorance if there is a much more obvious description). I don't give a shit if you don't like...

I know classical music is rarely discussed on these boards, but I'm pretty sure most of you enjoy it and would have loved this concert. It was at the Royal Albert Hall last night, and consisted of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra alongside the Crouch End Chorus and soloists Nicola Benedetti and...

This guy isn't mentioned enough here, or anywhere. You all know who he is, and if you don't like him then you should listen to him again

Great guitarist. A lot like Justin King, except his music doesn't sound like shit, and he makes it look better. He doesn't have an album out yet, but I recommend you have a look at some of the video links below, as well as the clips on his website http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbndgwfG22k...

I don't usually ask for people to help me find music, but I am stuck. I am looking for music that sounds alot like Agalloch's "The Misshapen Steed" or "Foliorum Viridium" (not the heavier bits) - by this I mean ambient yet highly emotional instrumental music. I can't get enough of those songs...

The 101 Rules of Progressive Metal 1. Insist that your definition of prog metal is sacred and that the only progressive bands are the one you deem to be so. 2. Accuse anyone who disagrees with you regarding rule 1 of lacking musical intelligence and not being a true prog fan. 3. Have...

2 greatest growlers on the planet under the same roof! It will be fantastic.

It's very clear how well RR have promoted Opeth since they signed on, and I do think it's great that Opeth are getting new fans. I'm not one of those people who thinks that their favourite band should be "my special thing that nobody else can enjoy", but it is getting very annoying the amount of...

It copies Black Rose Immortal LOL

If there is anyone has learnt how to play this song, or is intending to after this thread, I have found that the acoustic guitar on it sounds MUCH more emotional without the capo on the first fret and with nylon strings, not steel. Just my opinion but if you've got an acoustic with some nylon...

... makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Discuss.

So apparently they're the support on the European tour. I've heard of them once or twice (mentioned in a metalcore thread) - what are people's opinions on them?

Which song do you think shows off best the talents of each member? Mike: well, all of 'em, but I think his best ones would be Deliverance (great clean, great growls, kickass solo), and SPD (his best sounding growls and probably their best solo). Peter: Deliverance again, as it has probably...

Whether it be the greatness of the word itself, the content in which it is used or just the way Mike pronounces it, pick your favourite. The Moor: "miasma" - The bit just before he mentions "the moor". I love the sound of the word, and the way Mike says it. DOTF: "silent" - The first word...

I actually wrote this review a long, long time ago, and it was written for a non-metal forum, so you'll have to excuse some of the mistakes with dates and just general bad knowledge. Well here it is, in all of it's copy-pasted glory. If you'd ever heard these Swedish Progressive...

I've drawn the picture in the middle of the Deliverance booklet (the 1 with each member in a frame) for my art project and need to put the picture in with my annotation, but I can't find it anywhere on the internet. If anybody has a link I'd be thankful.
