Give me some new bands to listen to

[Farmer Reil]

I'd like to re-suggest Dragonforce, in case you didn't hear it the first time ¬_¬

Also, if you like Dreamtheater you might like Hammerfall and Nightwish.

And I'll reccomend Rhapsody because they're the best band on the planet. And Judas Priest just because everyone should have some.

Strung Out (I know I whore these out a lot but the new album reminds me slightly of AFI. The sort of darkness surrounding it whilst still being punk/rock)

If you want bands that are more radio-friendly (from your list) that you may have heard of:

Fallout Boy - Sugar We're Going Down

Shit, that's all I got in my playlist.

[tristy]

I refuse to listen to Fall Out Boy ever since they slaughtered Joy Division's Love Will Tear Us Apart.

[Ash J. Williams]

Against Me!

The Network

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

Pennywise

Cake

Boy Hits Car

I HATED their last show. Not for being awfully bad, but for how disappointed i (and a lot of people for that matter) was after it.

I was expecting a ****1/2 show and i got a **3/4. (this is where you notice this is a wrestling board )

What was the setlist (If you can remember). Lots of the American set lists look fairly dissapointing however the Europe/Australian ones look a lot better (Longer, as they visit there less and they have less openers).

You could try getting "The Universal Migrator (Parts 1 & 2)" by Ayreon. It's a two-disc, nearly 150-minute space metal epic with nods to nearly every imaginable genre out there. Ayeron has a crapload of one-time collaborators on their albums, including singers and musicians from bands like Tiamat, Stratovarius, Symphony X and Spock's Beard. Really good atmospheric music, and as a bonus it has some passable-sounding power metal tracks as well (I cannot stand that shit, but Part 1 of the Migrator is purely more prog rock, kinda like Dream Theater)

If you're looking for any heavier stuff, I seriously recommend Isis, Neurosis and Pelican. Isis and Pelican craft 10+ minute metal epics, completely instrumental yet really really addictive due to the level of skill involved. Neurosis are more down-tuned and artistic, but their lyrics are extremely good and their albums are nothing short of brilliant.

Suggested albums:

Isis - Celestial / Panopticon

Neurosis - A Sun That Never Sets / The Eye Of Every Storm

Pelican - March Into The Sea (it's actually an EP with only two songs, but the total playing time is something like 32+ minutes and the title track is THE best metal song I have heard all year) / Australasia

Hope that sparked interest.

Holy shit Ayreon. My mate listens to Ayreon all the time, he's trying to get me to listen it but I keep on forgetting.

And Malenko where you from? (I always presumed you were American).

I dunno if you hinted at it, Bush, but Isis aren't instrumental.
