...ok so... i would like to start off by saying thank you for the recomendations so far.

:thumb:

but i must ask were they a joke kinda like giving the newbie a hard time?:bonkhead:


i was hoping to find good metal bands and after going threw the majority of those listed so far i have found mostly slow tap your foot tunes and most of them have next to nil` recording ability although i understand you can blame the producer on the behalf but it still has to go threw the bands ok but anyways back to the point.

some of the bands sounded like they werent even above garage band status, so i thought perhaps it was the compression of that file so i tryed others of the same song via youtube and songza and... and am thoroughly unimpressed.

all this is outside of tool ofcourse in which i own every album along with a perfect circle and pusifer...

it seams as if there is some dislike and unapreciation for metal here... and on my behalf i would like to stress that i am not "purely" a metal head i am also very much into bands such as...

assemblage 23

radiohead

apocalyptica

the art of noise

blue october

david bowie

dire straits

genesis / phil collins

madonna

the who, pink floyd, coldplay, so on blah blah yatta yatta i could list them forever but hopefully i have gotten my point across.

so no hate intended here not meaning to affend or anything so my apoligies if something may have came out wrong or misunderstood.

melt banana is slow tap your foot tunes? damn this generation is more desensitized than i thought

i said most of the bands not all.

my opinion of melt banana and a few other bands listed so far to be very thrash metal no respect for musical melody seamed very uncaring thrashing well... in my honest opinion very talentless just wanna make noise kinda garage band.


just my 2 cents tho not trying to hate

On Cell-scape especially Melt Banana are far from talentless, it's a very intricate album and beneath the surface there is a definite feel for melody. Very fucking noisy as well but don't let that put you off.

Well, then, in terms of metal that's melodic, you should try-

Therion
Tyr
Arcturus
Riverside
Kamelot
Lykathea Aflame(This might seem a bit extreme, but definitely melodious in a strange way)
Falkenbach
In The Woods...

And oh, the 'Noise rock' kinda music just might need time to get used to...Look a bit deeper and you'll definitely find it melodious. Try listening to it again maybe?

yeah, it's boring

Indie Folk plz.

Seabear!
