Need new stuff to listen to. Going insane

kalikat · 06-12-2014, 11:24 PM

Hey guys. Im completely stuck. Because of Spotify I feel as though I've discovered all the music I will ever find appealing. I need something new to listen to. Its been a couple of years since I found a new band that I liked.

I'm a big Tool/APC/Deftones fan. I also love System of a Down and their album Toxicity.
The last band I got into was Glassjaw, and I kinda forced myself to like them because I had nothing else to listen to.
Im into underground stuff that kicks ass, but is still original.
No Linkin Park/phony bull****.

Any suggestions would be a huge help.

Thanks guys

Yeah I've heard them a couple times. I'm not really into that MathMetal scene. I have trouble telling it apart from Dillinger Escape Plan. I'm looking got something less terrifying.

i have to say Jaszoon...you really found a track with a little bot of everything he mentioned

personally anytime someone says they love Tool i suggest the band Amplifier and in specific the album The Octopus

i don't understand why this band does not have the salivating fan base that Tool has

also if you in for something complex but with a bit more unadulterated anger i suggest Neurosis

I've heard Nuerosis before and thought they were pretty good. I had never heard Amplifier before and saw the Tool similarity. It was alright. I'm pretty picky. I'm looking for something really original, something that sounds like nothing else, but that is also good and not just a bunch of bizarre noises strung together.

I think Deftones have a pretty unique sound, same with System of A Down. Maybe I'm asking for lightning in a bottle but thanks for the suggestions anyway.

Really? I guess they have speed and complexity in common, but I don't hear the similarities aside from that. I always associated Psychofagist more with a band like Painkiller because of the substantial jazz element to the music.

Anyway, how about Ufomammut? They don't sound like Tool exactly but you might enjoy the layered style and the feel that they are taking you on a journey.

Clutch. Anything by them.

I'm not necessarily looking for something that sounds like Tool. Im just looking for some original bands that don't suck. Ive heard Clutch before and thought they were alright, but Im looking for something that has made more of an impact on the music scene.
That's why I like Deftones' album White Pony or System of a Downs' Toxicity. THey were albums that were innovative, original, and really really good.

This. You have to be okay with no vocals though.
