Dirial Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Not a Punk fan I'm afraid. Well, they started as a Punk band. Today they are just everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDisaster Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I like Rammstein! That's about as far as my knowledge of German music goes I'm afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonahmaul Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Was listening to Hatebreed then The Dillinger Escape Plan on way to work. My favourite band are Coheed and Cambria though so you should definitely listen to them! Also, they're not German but Germany seems to love them - boysetsfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDisaster Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I saw Coheed and Cambria years ago at Download festival. I really wasn't impressed. I only stood around because I was waiting for Tool to come on after. Now there is a band! Hatebreed are insane live though. I mean DAYUM!!

I have to say I haven't actually see C&C at a festival (I am seeing them at Hevy this year) but everytime I've seen them live they've been phenomenal. Tool are also all the win. Random list of other bands that I love: Rise Against Pennywise Sick of it All Madball Bad Religion The Bouncing Souls Jimmy Eat World Thrice Brand New Comeback Kid I could go on! Money that I don't spend on toy soldiers gets spent on gigs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDisaster Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I'm more into the ear drum destroying stuff like Soulfly Lamb of God Kataklysm Sylosis In Flames (Older stuff, the new stuff is pure shit) Soilwork Strapping Young Lad Ackercoke Opeth Cult of Luna I could also go on but I should probably get some work done today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about as far as my knowledge of German music goes I'm afraid To be fair, that you have in common with most of the world. ZFiend new Modern Talking. Not enviable. I agree with your list, though. Most of that I have seen live, and it was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the Netherlands produce good music lately? I'm not aware of anything, but ready to be enlightened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually avoid dutch music for good reasons. Most likely there are some polished turds in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted March 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Coheed and Cambria? I have to try those out. Sylosis - Monolith album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonahmaul Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 We do. Did the Netherlands produce good music lately? I'm not aware of anything, but ready to be enlightened. I saw a Dutch hardcore band supporting Comeback Kid. They were called No Turning Back and were quite good. Coheed are prog-rock but they're incredible, anybody who says otherwise is wrong! They're pretty geeky too (there's also comics/graphic novels that the albums are based on as they're all concept albums telling a story). Soulfly, Lamb of God, Sylosis and In Flames are all good too. I like old Machine Head (plus the Blackening which was ace), Killswitch Engage, One Minute Silence, Slipknot and others when it comes to metal (I have quite diverse music tastes from Ska to Hardcore!)

zFiend Posted March 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I have been an avid machine head fan for years but the latest album does absolutely nothing for me. Except make me steer away from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonahmaul Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Machine Head were my favourite band when I was a wee lad (probably my first favourite in fact) but I have a habit with music of getting into a strop when artists I like do something I perceive bad. With Machine Head that was Supercharger. It was such a terrible album that I just switched off and didn't listen to them for ages until somebody convinced me I should listen to The Blackening which is indeed very good. But Unto the Locust and Bloodstone and Diamonds are both very meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted March 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Yeah supercharger was quite bad too. but somehow Bloodstone seems to be worse. I don't know what it is. But no matter, my 2nd favourite band just got upped to 1st. Dark Tranquility. Ah. Perfection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDisaster Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I wasn't a big fan of the Machine Head newer stuff, they lost it when they released The Blackening. One band I've really gotten into over the last few years is Maylene and the Sons of Disaster. Hillybilly Heavy Metal. It's just as awesome as it sounds! Oh and Skindred. Reggae + Metal is totally a thing that should be more mainstream! Check out their album Union Black... pure genius! They are also British which is always a good thing!

Dirial Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Dark Tranquility. Ah. Perfection. When I first saw them live, I thought they were a poor man's In Flames, but they've grown on me since. Pretty good band, with a Jesus imitator in front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zFiend Posted March 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Poor man's in flam... What! They are way better than in flames ever was or will be.. Well definitely will be, as they are making absolute shit nowadays. Still.. Damn Guildie! Knows nothing.. Poor man's in flam.. Pfft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDisaster Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Dark Tranquility were crap back when In Flames were producing great music, they seem to have switched around these days. Still... aint' no Skindred. Jah'man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted March 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Reggae + metal should not exist. It's like a good steak and a spoonful of shit shouldn't be on the same plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
