25 Songs I think you should all listen to.

Razor_Shark

Amberian Dawn -- He Sleeps In The Grove
Symphonic Metal with absolutely beautiful operatic vocals.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IrlUb2QSIo

Apostasy -- Sulfur Injection
I am not the biggest Black Metal fan, but I sure love this song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ODAAl_ZXf8

Ash -- Lose Control
Straight up energy fueled hard rock, just the way it was always meant to be.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyC3wf8FQUg

Attilla -- Wonder Woman
Take Billy Joel prior to his solo career and tell him to make metal without guitars and you have a recipe for success
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHaCfy2MI80

Blind Melon -- Tones Of Home
Yes, the one hit wonder from 1993, but this song is much better.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcO16GKVZaw

Bumblefoot -- Guitars SUCK
Yes, the guy who replaced Buckethead in Guns N' Roses, but I think this guy is better.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEOFMHgkHzI

Daniel Lioneye -- I Have Never Wanted To Be Number One
Bluesy rock turned gothic black metal, this song is different from the rest of their stuff.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hhp6gE8T7To

Evile -- Infected Nation
The future of thrash metal, obvious Slayer influences, but better than Slayer ever was in my opinion.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQ6rEDHpJlI

Kansas -- Icarus - Borne On Wings Of Steele
Underappreciated band here, known for two songs, and widely considered classic rock, when really they were prog.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H28AgoryWHE

Living Colour -- Go Away
The all black political funk metal group which scored huge with its big hit Cult Of Personality in 1989, to bad their more technical and funky stuff was overlooked
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kg41Iej7eeI

Living End -- Prisoner Of Society
The direct link between pop punk and straight up punk right here.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prjVGQWNyE4

Obscura -- Incarnated
Technical Death Metal at its most soulless and easy to digest.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzjKMYsiGyk

One Day As A Lion -- Wild International
Zack De La Rocha and John Theodore doing a little something different
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mKtt7F0rPU

Orianthi -- Suffocated
Imagine Kelly Clarkson gone badass with Eddie Van Halen on guitar, just listen.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOBrEUhA3JY

Pathology -- Code Injection
Chugging Brutal Death Metal at its best here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34bd9D8f3XI

Pelican -- The Creeper
Long, slow, plodding, soulless, and heavy as hell
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2EhFEs2hj4

Polkadot Cadaver -- Purgatory Dance Party
Finally, we have metal that could easily fit in a dance club
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYotjYkGmEY

Powderburn -- Here And After
Amazing live band, old school metal infused with todays metal.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLEf2QJah_o

Project Hate MCMXCIX -- Resurrected For Massive Torture
Industrial Death Metal with a female vocalist, just listen
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-irJxKdKMNk

Shaman's Harvest -- Dragonfly
Good old school band here, kickass riffs mixed with amazing singing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6zWgQXMmHs

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum -- Helpless Corpses Enactment
Avant-Garde in its purest form, this is more of a metal attempt from them
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELyco68w5ks

Snot -- Deadfall
Great hardcore punk with a metal edge
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0x_Rp148jCQ

Texas Hippie Coalition -- Pissed Off And Mad About It
Sounds like sloppy Pantera, but I think that is just what this band was going for, sounds much more raw and real than Pantera too.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjCtHgNEcV0

Unexpect -- Desert Urbania
Avant-Garde, that is it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbSUEbG3OVE

Volbeat -- Wild Rover Of Hell
A crazy blend of Elvis Pressley, Johnny Cash, Misfits, and Metallica shouldn't be this good.

Holy still loading thread Batman.

I saw the Attilia and thought maybe you were high (me thinking about the deathcore band) They kind of sound more like Deep Purple

MetalCoresades

Apostasy and Evile... nawce

Gazorpazorpfield

I liked Texas Hippie Coalition for the first half of the album...and then it got old fast.
They were just in Toledo and they would have probably been cool to see live.

RAZOR

Volbeat

FIRENATHANIELHACKETT

One Day As A Lion is the shit.

Razor_Shark

Funny facts about that band, Billy Joel is on vocals, and there is not a single guitar in that whole song.

Razor_Shark

one day as a lion, pelican, and blind melon Yes
Daniel Lioneye and polkadot cadaver Hell NO

Might I ask why you don't like Lioneye or Cadaver?

NolaFree810

cuz they are atrocious lol, i hear that lioneye on music choice all the time and laughed at how funny it was, i thought it was a joke. and im not even addressing polkadot cadaver....

Lioneye is a sideproject of the Guitarist from H.I.M. the rest of the album is a gothic black metal album, that song is very different from the rest of their stuff, and Polkadot Cadaver is an Avant-Garde band, so I understand why people may not like it.

NolaFree810

well in fairness i didnt listen to the lioneye song, just commented on the stuff i have heard from him before which was god awful

Razor_Shark

Well, it is very different from anything else I have ever heard, his first album was a joke, in fact one of the songs is the theme for Viva La Bam, the second album is very different in just about every way.

JLRedWing13

Kansas and Evile are great. Not a fan of Shaman's Harvest, and I need to listen to the rest....

Its_Meh_Chew

Polkadot is awesome! They're an offshoot of Dog Fashion Disco

I saw the Attilia and thought maybe you were high (me thinking about the deathcore band) They kind of sound more like Deep Purple

i need to dl that album. I loved that song!
