I really love how one of you guys said death metal is all samey and then goes off saying but melo death and metalcore are awesome. I respect your opinion on what you like but dude... melo death and metalcore sounds so much the same and all the metalcore bands rip off At The Gates so bad.

ahahha i know dude, its like saying "hey yeah i know hiphop is so samey but you should def check out this g-unit stuff"

Yeah the new Cynic sounds pretty cool from what I've heard. I have the cardboard promo in my bag but I haven't listened to it yet. I also heard that Atheist reformed and will record some new stuff eventually. I personally don't really like most prog metal bands... Maybe Agalloch would be a good suggestion? They're not full out progressive but they're pretty frickin' good. Their last EP The White was more ambient but it's still extremely good. The band is supposedly atmospheric folk / dark metal whatever that means. Just check them out, it's worth it. A lot of people hate them but there's also a lot of people that love them so I guess it's hit or miss.

Less prog and death.... more doom!

I know, thats why I said metalcore has alot of samey bands, but early 90's metalcore with some 2000 metalcore ispretty varied and awesome. I mean, fuck, if you listened to Atreyu and then As I Lay Dying right after wards, you realize how fucking terribly samey they are. But when you put up stuff like Old Cave In and Botch next to each other its a completely different story.

Also couch, the new faceless album is pretty cool, its not so much prog but it plays around with it in some parts.

you will fail

I've listened to metal for 4-5 years, and I currently listen to Ensiferum, Eluveitie, old Cradle of filth, Dark Tranquillity, As I Lay Dying, Pain Confessor, Killswitch Engage, Enslavement of Beauty, Caliban, Kalmah, Amon Amarth, Thyrfing, Ill nino, Estatic Fear, Linkin park (if they count xD). So basically melodeath and metalcore but I find it pretty hard to tell those two apart..

Also, I really don't think Kalmah is similar to children of bodom, I really hate cob, but I love Kalmah, except for their newest album. It has yet to find its way into my playlist.

Haha really sorry! They're what got me into metal though. I used to only listen to rap, then I heard numb/encore and decided to check them out. One thing led to another and soon Eminem and his badboy friends were out of my mp3 player for ever with only metal in their stead

I checked out the myspace link from the first page to a band called ESTERTOR, and yeah.. they were pretty good. Pretty nice melodies in those songs, especially Eternal Fall.

Does anyone like the really early stuff from In Flames and still enjoy the later stuff? The reason I'm asking is that everyone I talk to prefer either new In Flames or old In flames (the arguments being mainly "The old stuff is so boring!" or "The new stuff is for 14 year old nolifers"). I like all their stuff except the latest album that only has two or three good songs. I think the Jester Race is my favorite though, mainly because of the awesome guitar solo in december flower!

edit: What bands have you guys seen live?

I've seen Dark Tranquillity, Sonic Syndicate, Blofly, Amon Amarth, Tyr, In Flames, Engel, As I Lay Dying and Horse the Band. Next sunday I'm gonna see Dark Tranquillity(again

), Dead By April and Engel(again). CAN'T WAIT!!

The first album I ever listened to in it's entirety was actually that first Linkin Park album many years ago. Great stuff. Everything else by them is horrible.

I always found In Flames to be pretty boring.

Vey you would probably also like Aeveron

Nooo Linkin Park are great

I never found In Flames boring, but I overexposed my ears to their music so I rarely listen to them anymore.
Also yeah, Aeveron was great, definitely gonna get me some of that. Thanks!

Does anyone like Dark Haven? I think they're great (especially their song Infernal), but they never seem to get signed :/

Megadeth and Maiden are as metal as I get. Never liked Metallica and used to listen to shit like Dragonforce and Blind guardian but I lost interest in it. I listen to a lot of Rock and Catch tunes nowadays, and things with bitching Basslines.

http://www.myspace.com/caughtinthegale Is a local band I love that are ... Rock but have some Metal-esque songs. Their norm is a Muse/Smashing pumpkins with some Early Iron maiden and selective Megadeath covers.

You could try Seventh Wonder's "Mercy Falls". It came out a few months ago. It's a concept album too. It's not too progressive but progressive enough (Dream Theater style).

Vey, nice variety in those bands. If you like Estatic Fear check out Empyrium's first two albums since the later two are just neo-folk. Enslavement of Beauty are nothing great but they're fun to listen to especially if you sing along to their lyrics hahahahaha.

I love old In Flames but I find new In Flames to just be bland and extremely boring.

Try Disillusion, they're amazing. They have some of the best clean and death vocals I've ever heard. Scar Symmetry is kind of prog metal (they have clean vocals more akin to power metal) but really they're mostly melodic death metal. Some people call them pokemon metal, haha.

Incidentally enough I just got this album. The spoken parts are so dreadfully awful but it's pretty good.

Also my favorite kind of metal is vegetarian progressive grindcore.

To add more incidents, I recently got the newest Scar Symmetry album (Holographic Universe), while looking for the Seventh Wonder one. I must say I really like Scar Symmetry. A really well done blend of some metal sub-genres. It was a really pleasant surprise for me since I just felt like buying some new music and couldn't find the one I was looking for. Speaking of pleasant surprises and prog, if you still haven't tried my #1 album of 2007, Voyager's "UniVers", do yourself a favor and try it out!

Haha yeah I guess my list goes a little back and forth between subgenres; I used to bounce around between subgenres and have periods of only metalcore, or only folk-ish stuff, or w/e but now I always have difficulty choosing what I feel like listening to at a given time, it's really hard unless I mix all of those bands in a single playlist which leads to it being like 600 songs long or something..

I checked out Empyrium and they were great! Don't kill me or anything, but I somehow felt that they were a little similar to Enslavement of Beauty, maybe that's just me though. And yeah, EoB's lyrics are nice
