Heard AX7's drummer died over the xmas period another 'natural causes' at age 28 - same as my age. I like Ax7, Atreyu, Bullet for My Valentine, Metallica can anyone recommended bands similar to these dont mind music being heavy coz prefer that but not just constant screaming over verses n lyrics?

Cheers for all those couple in there I have but more than plenty for me to go at... I used to like Rap most up until like the last year and found my way into all this metal esq music but I just listened to a few tracks by a band/collective called Hollywood Undead pretty good

 

[Neolink]

First two turn metal eventually, be patient...it's really worth it

Man, Pain of Salvation are awesome - The Perfect Element is a fantastic album (and probably their best song).

 

[Dancula]

Picking through some of the peeps recommendations and so far Disturbed are on top ha 36 Crazy Fists, Breaking Benjamin and Rise Against are others on the wish list.

A good band I've recently found out about are called Vanna... they're very similar to All That Remains, Bleed The Sky.

Another awesome band I recommend are Unearth... one of my favourite bands. Their track The Great Divider is quality.

You'll probably dig Sonic Syndicate, if you haven't heard of them already :

Just read/listened through this thread, good stuff. Didn't see any High on Fire, sooo:

 

[Lysander]

Some Pain of Salvation,

Really nice to see some more prog in this thread.

I love this PoS song -

The way the bass riff in the verse counts down from 7 to 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 is simple but genius. And hard to carry off.

 

[titaniumx3]

I like that, but some of it I can't stand. Not sure if you can call it cheesy but it's really gay in parts.

A lot of prog metal is gay, unfortunately. However, this 'new wave' of prog like Mastodon, Baroness etc just sounds like rubbish to me.

Meh. Have some Ram-Zet.

Strange, I wouldn't consider Mastodon or Baroness as being progressive music, although there are progressive elements. In fact, I'd say a lot of the so called progressive metal bands out there aren't progressive at all, at least not by principle.

Also Mastodon and Baroness are great, straight forward but enjoyable metal.

wtf?

Also, this is the best Pain of Salvation song.

And now for one of my favourite math bands.

How do you post youtube videos? Do i need a specific number of posts?

Random mix of proggy goodness:

You need to put the bit after v= in the youtube url into

tags.

e.g. for the youtube video at:

[noparse]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMqW3MNbz5I[/noparse]​

you'd use:

[/noparse]​

wtf?

I did say they have progressive elements, but I don't think the music is progressive - it's still straight forward metal at it's core.
