I just hope they live up to their headlining position (they’re headlining the X-mass fest tour through europe together with Napalm Death… other bands on the bill are…
Death Angel
Vader
Dark Funeral
Finntroll
Black Dahlia Murder
Belphegor
Melechesh
Mystic Circle
Ensiferum
Scarve
especially Death Angel and Vader are gonna be awesome…
Check 'em out. My brother lent their CD to me for a while, and I really liked it, and that’s coming from a guy who’s becoming much less of a metal guy than I used to be.
You should check out Goat Horn, they are an awesome band from Ontario. I’d recommend some local Vancouver bands but you probably wouldn’t be able to find anything by them… but I’ll list some anyways:
Crackwhore
Omega Crom
Demyse
Zuckuss
Widowmaker
Abuse
I’ve seen opeth live 3 times… they rock… their music is great… but as I said before… Get Blackwater Park… the song. from Kazaa or somethin… especially the 'The sun sets fornever in BLACK WATER PARK… damn that’s so intense
or ‘The Drapery Falls’ also from the 'Blackwater Park album… that’s easily my fav opeth album
I have a wide range of musical preferences… metal stole my heart,
and on the opeth issue… I have (off course) ‘Blackwater Park’ and ‘Damnation’
but BP owns Damnation easily… wich is mostly cuz Damnation is the softer side of 2 albums who came out shortly after another… but it’s stil good
edit for all you drummer lunatics out there… I think BlackWater Park (the song) really has some of the catchiest and most fun parts to drum… they’re pretty standard sometimes but still they stand out to me…
Gee, most of the bands I wanted to recommend were already mentioned. :/. Bathory, Enslaved and the likes…
And sorc, I have a few opeth songs; I’ll up them somehwere if you want to. Don’t have many though.
My recommendations:
Earlier I recommended Toxic Narcotic. I have a few more Recommendations.
Napalm Death
Dying Fetus
Soilent Green
God Dethroned
Eyehategod
Dopehead(reggae death metal \m/ )
that’s all the more I can think of for now
