"Local" Rock/Metal on Myspace?
Being in a local band myself, I'm kind of big on checking out and supporting other bands that are still at the "local" level, and most bands are on myspace these days, but it takes a lot of time to weed out the ones that aren't worth your time.
I thought maybe you guys would be interested in sharing some links to some good "local" or lesser-known rock & metal bands. And, as I'm in a band myself and am curious, what details draw you to a local band? I've heard far too many people shun local music and refuse to even give it a chance until the band's got something wrapped in cellophane available at Best Buy. |
Sooo, Latvia's here (yeah, that's a country. Many of you don't even know it, I guess).
Raging Soul - Power Metal. A guy I know plays there. But they don't have tracks with vocals on their site. Only instrumental demos. But in live performances they have female soprano vocals.Please listen to their tracks on Myspace. My favourite is Gathering Storm. Raging Soul on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads Ocularis Infernum - Erotic Black Metal (sounds weird, but that's it). I personally don't like it. But many guys do. Ocularis Infernum on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads Nycticorax - Blackened Death Metal. Pretty cool, IMO. NYCTICORAX (New album is coming!!!) on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads Frailty - Doom/Death Metal. Also really cool one. FRAILTY on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads Skyforger - Folk/Pagan Metal SKYFORGER Latvian Folk/Pagan Metal Band Gatling - Death Metal/Hardcore.

Just checked out Raging Soul now and I like what I hear! I'm curious to hear what it sounds like with vocals, but at the same time I like the songs that are posted as they are. I've kind of always had a soft spot for metal instrumentals.

I would give you her personal vocal demo, but the guys didn't allow me to do so. Sorry.

This is the band that I play bass/backing vox in with my brother on guitar/lead vox, and a friend on drums.

Threads like this are usually a bad idea because they just become a magnet for spammers.
I'll leave it open for now & see how it goes. |
If what, I did't spam. I posted the most decent of local bands. In fact, we have tons of crappy grindcore and black metal bands.
|
No I mean people coming in here and making one post that says 'check out my band blah blah blah'
|
Oh, ok. We can just make a rule that denies to post your own bands.
|
There already is one and it applies to the whole forum.
What i'm saying is that threads like these bring more of them to get rid of. |

Your music's sick!! Definitely sending you guys a request. I like it! :) |
Hmm, the local music scene is pretty dead around here but there are a few good bands I know of that haven't yet broken away from the "local" seal of approval.
Canniblast These guys are awesome. Seen them on more than one occasion, but I must say the addition of another guitarist was a pretty bad move. Violet Shift My band played with these guys a few months ago, they have a real Tool sounding style of music, but utterly amazing live. Tormented Not bad for just two guys playing a progressive rock/power metal style of music. One Eye Deer I know it's mostly metal & rock, but I couldn't leave these guys out. Great live band really gets you moving. |
Even though I live in Nevada now, I am still pretty attached to Vancouver Canada's music scene. This band The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets holds a special place in my heart. Sure a lot of bands are somewhat inspired by H.P. Lovecraft, but none have the dedication that these guys have, great band to see live too.
Darkest of the Hillside Thickets Unfortunately their song list on Myspace ain't that great, but I have all their albums, so if you're interested... shoot me a message. |
As I'm over 15 posts now, I think I'm allowed to post links, so here it goes.
This is a band that are kind of like my band's "big brothers" in the local music scene. They took us under their wing, set us up with some shows and a sound guy, and even do our recording, and we continue to set up joint shows pretty regularly. They're awesome dudes, and talented on top of it all. Definitely worth a listen. What Lies Within: What Lies Within on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads |
