Newly discovered bands?

I've had so many over the past weeks, but the one I've liked most is Broadway. They're a lot like Saosin for those who are interested.

What about you guys?

Been listening to and liking Those of the Unlight. :D

Not really newly discovered...but I've gotten a new found liking of Paramore... Darth-Caedus

Trail Of Tears (absolutely fantastic), Leaves' Eyes, Sirenia, UnSun, Within Temptation, La Oreja de Van Gogh (relatively recent, a few months back, best pop band ever).

Actually, you should check out UnSun, battlefront23, I think you might like them. :D

The Other Side

Bring Me To Heaven

Edit: changed the link for bring me to heaven, the first one's quality was awful. I don't think this one is much better, though... :P

It's a tough question. It's not a matter of discovering bands but getting into them. Recently I've been buying Porcupine Tree albums and I've listened to lots of the Libertines lately.

I just got "Loveless" by My Bloody Valentine today. It's making me love Shoegazing.

You'll get used to the vocals in time. It took me about a week after I bought the album to really appreciate it (including the vocals), but that's just because I listened to it so many times. :P

By the way, check this out. Tell me if you like it. :D

[QUOTE="black_cat19"]

[QUOTE="battlefront23"] Sounded a lot like Amon Amarth to me. The riffs were pretty sweet too! But yeah, the voice again bothered me. You're gonna mock me for this, but I really do prefer core screaming over actual metal screaming.

Well, good for you, I remember you used to openly hate it. :P

And no, I don't mean the ones from eons ago, I meant the ones I just posted in the first page of this thread! :x

UnSun are not Symphonic, they're just Gothic Metal, and one of the best bands I've heard in the genre lately; best use of piano I've ever heard outside of Symphonic Metal, and they don't just play power chords, there's some actual musicianship to be found there. Anyway, since Entwine (Gothic Metal) was the only band I was able to get you into way back then, I figured you would also like this. :D

As for actual Symphonic Metal, I showed you some of that back then but you didn't seem to like it. :(

How about I make you a deal: you let me have one more shot at getting you into Symphonic Metal, and I'll listen to whatever links you want to show me in turn? :P

Edit: Oh, never mind. I guess I took too long writing that post....

[QUOTE="chessmaster1989"]

[QUOTE="battlefront23"] I was slowly getting into in with the build-up... And then I heard the vocals. Sorry chessmaster. Sorry. :Pbattlefront23

None worth mentioning, if it means much I've been REALLY getting into old school metal (Judas Priest, Sabbath, etc.) lately, but I knew of these bands lately, this is just what I've been listening to as of late...Paranoid, Screaming for Vengeance, British Steel, and Heaven and Hell are the 4 main albums...Even by today's standards, still absolutely amazing music.

Early black metal tended to have poor production quality, since the bands couldn't get big production labels. That's what you're seeing. :P

And, in any case, band names are not generally indicators of the quality of the music...

Hmm, I really recommend early Judas Priest. Check out Sad Wings of Destiny, Stained Class, actually just everything up to and including Hell Bent for Leather. Also, if you like Paranoid/Heaven and Hell, definitely check out Black Sabbath and Master of Reality (both Black Sabbath albums). Also I recommend Iron Maiden if you don't already listen to them, check out Powerslave and Piece of Mind.

I still don't get how you can like metalcore screaming and then have such a problem with metal vocals. >_>

Hey, that was actually pretty good for whatever-core that was! :D

Unfortunately, I still had to say pretty good FOR... but at least it didn't make my ears bleed like iwrestledabearonce and Job for a Cowboy. :P

Anyway, try After Forever, Therion, and Sirenia.

Yeah, I love the chariot. I would have to say Botch is probably better then both Norma Jean and The chariot though. They kind of got it all started. Well of course the name doesn't represent the musical talent of the group but I automatically lose respect for them when it's something stupid. PuddinPant

EDIT: I knew the last two bands you posted and I like them, and the first band had really good vocals. Have we established that I already like Symphonic Metal though?
