Sign in to disble this ad
I'm looking for some new bands to listen to. I like all kinds of metal, mainly groove metal. Seems like all the mainstream metal I try listening to just doesn't have any personality... does that make sense? anyway if anyone has some suggestions of some good original sounding new music with testicular fortitude... please post.
thanks

I dunno, we just sat there watching High on Fire...it was hard getting into.
I love Stoner/Doom metal just as much as the next guy but I can't say I enjoyed their performance.
But anyway, if you see them, I hope you guys enjoy it.
BTW, Baroness kicked major butt at that concert. I'm so happy I got to see them (Baroness + Opeth in one night = very happy Valerus) |

Opeth is the only band I've seen (and that number is in the hundreds) that I ever left a show before they finished. My friend and I bailed halfway through the second song. Never heard them before, being totally open-minded, and they were terrible. No stage presence, no tone, just wank-wank-wank, with lots of D&D and Dream Theater types drooling along.
For the record, the opening act on that tour, Nachmystikum (or something) put on a much better show than Opeth. |

Regretted leavin though cause we got in some trouble in Nola that night and spent a couple of nights in jail. If I would have stayed I prolly could have avoided that one  |

Hopefully it doesn't take the two years Here Where Nothing Grows did to make the transition.
But more importantly, I got a vinyl copy of Rock Dream, Boris's live record with Merzbow. One of the 800 copies in orange marble, no less.  |

Baroness is one of my favorite metal bands. They're so wildly inventive and mathy, while still keeping a necessary level of emotion and energy. Great stuff.
