Recommend me some new metal (music)

Every Time I Die is worth checking out. More New England Hardcore than straight metal but more melodic than most in that genre. The songwriting is really good with interesting lyrics.

 

Another vote for Between the Buried and me. Great band. You can listen to an album from front to back and never know a song ended.

 

Here's one that might be cool if you like punk with a strong metal influence: Strung Out.

 

One of my all time favorites that the OP should check out is Oceansize "Effloresce". Some heavy elements but covers a few genres.

 

+1 on Opeth - they range from Death Metal style to progressive without missing a beat. If you into older bands both the new Megadeth and Anthrax are really good -
If you into the more prog side , check out Riverside - and if your a Kings X fan ,check out The Jelly Jam - in no way a jam band, lol .

 

Kvelertak. Norwegian metal, their first album is amazing.

 

Seriously, what kind of music is "death" anything? They use weapons for sound or something?

 

Jesus Lizard, Melvins, Godlflesh, Unsane's first album. Not anything new but my best offerings for heavy music.

 

More of a style , lol - I dont really know how else to describe the deep , gutteral , from the pit of your soul singing that those bands do -

 

Periphery
After the Burial

It's good, angry gym music.

 

I heard a band named Sabaton a few years ago while in europe and like them. Kinda Viking Metal.

 

If you're into the whole "djent" thing, check out Sithu Aye and Pomegranate Tiger which I recently discovered. Very cool and complex instrumental progressive metal.

 

Pomegranate Tiger? Awesome name!

 

Yep. This guy is Canadian and shreds pretty hard !
Also, in the same genre, checkout Modern Day Babylon. It's crazy the stuff I am discovering with my Google Play Music subscription, I'm kind of overwhelmed right now lol

 

BabyMetal

 

Anyone ever hear of Skwee-G outta Texas?

They never made it big, but remember Lex & Terry had them on their shows several times back in the late 90's early 00's. I have 2 of their cd's from that time, and liked their music.

 

Amon amarth - epic viking
Ensiferum - folk/viking
Wintersun - epic
Demons and wizards - epic power
Cradle of filth - melodic black
Arch enemy - black
Sirenia - symphonic
Trivium - thrash/pure
Sepultura - thrash
Opeth - meh genre... just that good.


Could go on for days... but my suggestion is to go on to pandora and create stations for each of those bands.. youll end up with a bunch of new random bands to try.

 

I had to scrub a lot of mine because they have already been mentioned, so here's a few more:

Dillinger Escape Plan
Tesseract
Ultraspank
Flaw (Through The Eyes album)
Thy Art Is Murder

Some others in my rotation:
Acacia Strain
American Head Charge
Devildriver
Devin Townsend / Devin Townsend Project
Dry Kill Logic
Heaven Shall Burn
Kelen Heller
Killswitch Engage
Machine Head
Mudvayne
Nothingface
Obscure Sphinx
Otep
Remembering Never
Sevendust
Spineshank
Static-X
Unearth

 

Well whaddya know, they're on Spotify... Interesting, "math-y" stuff. Thanks for the heads up.

 

I saw Ghost live in Tampa this past weekend... If someone had described them to me before I actually saw them, I'd have been like "no thanks"... They were actually damn good...

So, they're Swedish, but the lead singer sounds more like he's doing a Count Dracula impression. And he's highly entertaining while on stage... No dancing or head banging, more like he's conducting a sermon and controlling the rest of the band with his mind/hand gestures...

Cirice is pretty freakin' good live too.
