Recommend me some good music..

[Martin]

Been listening to therion for several months now (linky]), and I love them, but I want to check out some other music that is somewhat like theirs.

Luckily Elledan (i miss the guy) posted his playlist (see link above), so I'll check out a few of those bands, but can anyone suggest some others like them?

Thanks

Hmmm... You like Therion eh? They are a weird band, black metal, but with female vocals. I can suggest some other black metal bands, but I dont know of any others with female vocalists.

You might want to check out:

Dark Tranquility
From Autumn to Ashes (Short Stories With Tragic Endings is an awesome song)
Iced Earth
Blind Guardian (a bit more melodic than the others... very talented)
Opeth (lots of acoustic stuff)
Tristania
In Flames (more aggressive music, but still melodic... I recommend Jester Script Transfigured)

Also, I found a band on mp3.com called Janlgi Jaggas which is very moody, dark, instrumental black metal. That is also quite good.

I 2nd Iced Earth! God they are awesome...

Oldy but a goodie is Death...

If you like prog, throw in some Dream Theater.

Go to CDNow, search for therion. Over on the left it says "People who bought this also bought these albums".

I find a lot of new bands this way.

I just did that on Amazon. Theatre of Tragedy sounds very cool. As it happens, they also recommended iced earth and blind guardian.

Six Feet Under
Grim Reaper - "see you in hell"
Although no as metallic as the ones above , Danzig's latest cd 777 I Luciferi is pretty damn black

 

[InfectedVoice]

Band: Soilwork

Album: Natural Born Chaos

They are similar to In Flames.

In Flames (more aggressive music, but still melodic... I recommend Jester Script Transfigured)

Agreed. Anything from Whoracle is great.

 

[Nemesis77]

Nightwish. That is one awesome band!

<=== Listening to "Bless the Child" by Nightwish

Yeah, Blind Guardian is cool. Dream Theater is my favorite band, someone mentioned them.

DT is without a doubt an awesome band, but they're no exactly black metal. But, if you like prog metal, Marty, then definitely check out Dream Theater. All the members (escept LaBrie) are thye best at what they do. Mike Portnoy is the BEST drummer ever. Period. No one can argue. John Petrucci is a brilliant guitarist; been compared to Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, Jimi Hendrix. John Myung... you should see him play bass... his fingers are flying. He can play it so fast it is shocking that he doesnt mess up. And Jordan Rudess likewise can play the keyboard so fast it is simply astounding. As for James LaBrie... well, he sings, or at least tries to. I'm not too fond of his vocal style, but their music is so incredibly good it more than makes up for it.
