Hey there!

I'm looking for some rock music laced with orchestration and/or general epicness.

Here's the catch. I'm getting board of the "Nightwish", "Epica", "Dreamtheater" and "Kamelot" style vocals. How about something with a bit more of a Curt Kobain feel to the vocals? "Silverchair's" song "Emotion Sickness" pretty well describes this. Perhaps toss in some of "Coheed and Cambria's" theatrical pacing and THAT's what I'm looking for.

Got any suggestions?

Thanks!

If you like Opeth you might like Edge of Sanity and Klone. I can't really name a whole lot of progressive death metal bands that play a similar style to Opeth so you might want to try getting into progressive thrash and progressive death metal. Here's a few albums to start you off:

Coroner - Mental Vortex & Grin. It's the most progressive work they have to offer and I think you would enjoy that more than their earlier, more technical work.

Atheist - Elements. Their most progressive album. Like I said about Coroner, it's likely more accessible to you than their earlier technical work.

Cynic - Focus. It's a shame that after this great debut they strayed away from the metal style. Nevertheless, it's a great progressive metal album. Quite an eclectic release, too.

Exivious - Self-titled. Former members of Cynic and Textures got together and made an album. Basically more of Cynic's Focus, just with less synths and the technicality upped 500%

Vektor - Black Future. Some really killer technical/progressive thrash. If you like this, then you might want to try Outer Isolation.

Klone - Army of Me

Hi Guys!!! My favorite bands as of now are Phinehas, Conducting from the grave, Synopsis, Of Mice and Men, Memphis May Fire. I love them because they have creativity in writing music that is melodious and seems to be written by humans instead by machines (my humble personal opinion). Please recommend me some more music that ascends its boundaries.

Fellow metalheads,

I propose we take our music sharing to the next level. I propose we make use of Spotify's collaborative playlists. I imagine creating such genre-specific playlists would be fun & informative. I imagine more might come from there, but I think it'd be a good place to start.

Anyone else think this might be fun?

So, I'm looking for some modern extreme/extremish metal (90's to now) that isn't death metal or black metal or mathcore or deathcore or any of the usual suspects. I've been loving early Lamb of God, and I'm not looking for something that sounds like that, just modern extreme metal with a sound of it's own. Doesn't have to be the most brutal thing on earth, just has to kick some ass in a non-avant garde kinda way.
