I've been getting into alot harder rock lately, these two bands are my fav's at the moment, can anyone recommend some simliar bands with a melodic/screamy mix?
i really like: In Flames Arch Enemy The Hurt Process Soilwork KillSwitch Engage Stutterfly God Forbid As I Lay Dying Bullet For My Valentine It Dies Today if you want some good song titles, feel free to reply, i'd be more than happy to suggest my favorites from each
The Bronx Children of Bodom Damageplan Deftones Faith No More Funeral For A Friend (if you want melodic/screamy don't bother with Hours) Glassjaw Megadeth Pantera Refused
IMO, to ME, every song by each of these bands is just AWESOME! but close to Trivium, here are some songs that I think you will like, and awaaaaay we go: In Flames: Dead End (from their new cd coming out in 2006, so u MIGHT not be able to find it, unless you download their new CD, it's on most torrents) Take This Life (again, see above note) and anything from Reroute To Remain and Soundtrack To Your Escape CDs, others don't like it, but I think it will suite your fancy Arch Enemy: We Will Rise Enemy Within and really, anything from their newest CD "Doomsday Machine" Taking Back My Soul is my favorite off that CD The Hurt Process: Anchor A Heartbeat Behind you can preview music on http://www.myspace.com/thehurtprocess Soilwork: Bringer Of The Damned Follow The Hollow Soilworker's Song Of The Damned The Flameout anything really, from their CD "Natural Born Chaos" and their new CD "Stabbing The Drama", which include my favorites- Nerve Stalemate Distance KillSwitch Engage: anything from "Alive Or Just Breathing" or "The End Of Heartache", but my favorites include: The End Of Heartache Life To Lifeless My Last Serenade Stutterfly their whole CD "And We Are Bled Of Color" is good, but I really like: Flames Adorn The Silence Bury Me (The Scarlet Path) God Forbid: their cd "IV: Constitution Of Treason" is awesome As I Lay Dying: Confined Through Struggle their cd is called "Shadows Are Security" Bullet For My Valentine: great cd "The Poison" favorite songs are: The End 4 Words (To Choke Upon) All These Things I Hate (Revolve Around Me) It Dies Today: their CD is called "The Caitiff Choir", i like: A Threnody For Modern Romance again, these are my opinions, so you may think otherwise, but check em out and give me a try, even if they don't hit you at first, they will, several of em were like that for me. Hope this helps
You can only scream about relationships so much though. Instrumentals are good, but that's about it. I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole, personally.
Demon Hunter Eighteen Visions (if you want heavy out of them, avoid Obsession.) A Dozen Furies Agony Scene
Bleeding Through, Unearth, Poison the Well, Everytime I Die, Himsa, Between the Buried and Me, All That Remains, Diecast, 3 Inches of Blood...I could go on.
An easy way to find similar artists is to use pandora.com. What they do is ask you for an artist that you listen to (you can input more than one) and based on the attributes of that artist, find others who are similar.
Children of Bodom Killswitch Engage Shadows Fall Metallica Megadeth As I Lay Dying Lamb of God You may have trouble headbanging to Lamb of God, though. They have crazy time signatures and stuff like that. Just thought I'd let you know.
