Sounds like a rap name but he is like a cross between Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd

I want bands that are alternative, heavy, but not too heavy (lamb of god is the heaviest I'll go. no immortal or anything) with experimentation (kind of like the Dillinger escape plan) and technical riffs and beats. They've got to have a few ballads too, some acoustic interludes and singing vocals (like Slipknot, Darkest Hour or Pantera)

They don't have to be singed to be major label bands, by the way. But no unsigned stuff.

That might be too complicated I suppose, but to me, it seems like I could find something like that everywhere.

Here is what I'm listening to now: (I've listened to these dudes SOO much)
Metallica (nothing after the black album)
Slipknot
Tool
Pantera
Down
Mastodon
System of a Down
The Dillinger Escape Plan
Gojira
Baroness
Acid Bath
Trivium
Tenacious D
Slayer
Lamb of God
Darkest Hour
etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try Between the Buried and Me (after The Silent Circus)

Jaysis. Really? I'm still waiting for them to become socially irrelevant. That will restore a bit of my faith in modern music.

Hey! Im new to the site and this is my 1st post

I've been looking for some new music for ages but I never seem to come up with anything.

Im not really into the whole really heavy screamy/growly stuff. I love Metallica, In Flames and Alexisonfire but stuff like Lamb of God kinda does my head in.
Ive got a kinda weird mix of music tbh.
I love stuff like Within Temptation, Lacuna Coil, Nightwish, Tarot blah blah blah.
But then the cheesy stuff like Jimmy Eat World and Blink 182 gets played a hell of a lot too.
Heres a few of the other bands I listen to a lot -
30 seconds to mars
Paramore
Madina Lake
Avantasia
Bullet For My Valentine
Coheed and Cambria
Muse

If anyone can suggest any other bands for me to try that'd b great. As much as I like the stuff Ive got Im really bored of listening to the same stuff

Thanks

Hardcore superstar, music that nicely combines rock, trash and sleaze. Very many albums, and all of em are different. I warmly recommend

Hey... I've kind of lost interest in the old rock bands i used to like (green day, all american rejects and other radio friendly acts). I look back at my past taste and cringe a little - i will probably do the same in a year. Anyway, the only rock bands i'm liking at the moment are;
Radiohead
Muse
and (if you can call them rock) The Killers.

Any recomendations?
