Metalheads
Call it hardcore, post-hardcore, metal, progressive whatever... lately I've been listening to metal music, and now I need your suggestions.
This week I discovered the band Periphery. Here's a preview of their latest album : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DHGjUrNn6c
So go on, suggest ! Please, no death metal
All my best friends are metalheads.
*I had to, even though it's not metalhead music.
You should talk to sharky.
*summons sharky*
You can't go wrong with Periphery. If you don't want death metal, it will make some suggestions difficult because a lot of the more experimental progressive bands have those vocals. Even Periphery.
I'll start off with a suggestion that is tried, but true.
Animals As Leaders - CAFO
If you like that, here's some more bands. There's lots of variety here, so if you're don't like the first band, don't write the rest off. Give 'em a listen.
Omnium Gatherum - The Return
Eternal Tears of Sorrow - Lost Rune of Thunder
GRU - Pulsar
The Algorithm - Access Denied
3 Inches of Blood - Revenge is a Vulture
Light This City - The Unwelcome Savior
Galneryus - Alsatia
Sylosis - Empyreal
Darkest Hour - With A Thousand Words To Say But One
The Browning - Time Will Tell
Monuments - Doxa
After the Burial - Aspirations
Born of Osiris - Follow the Signs
Arsis - Face of My Innocence
Eluveitie - Lugdunon
If you want more, just ask.
Love them ! I saw them when they were touring with Thrice... this track kicks ass. Live, the drummer just goes berserk at the end of the song.Originally Posted by sharkythesharkdogg

Edit : All right so I listened to them all. Here's my report

Thanks again sharky ! I'll be downloading some of this stuff pretty soon.
If you like Periphery, can't go wrong with Tesseract, Skyharbor, or Being. Not much of the harsh vocals in these bands.

BEING - Arrival - Cosmonaut - YouTube
TESSERACT - Singularity (OFFICIAL VIDEO) - YouTube
Being and Tesseract are certainly great, but Tesseract does have a lot of aggressive vocals. Going off of what you thought was awesome and good here's some more. I would suggest you try a few more songs from the bands you didn't like. It's hard to judge off of just one song. Anyway,
The HAARP Machine - Disclosure
Volumes - Wormholes
Structures - Departure & Transitions
My Bitter End - Becoming Misfortune
Intronaut - Milk Leg
Gojira - L'Enfant Sauvage
Katatonia - Onward Into Battle
Woods of Ypres - Kiss My Ashes
IWrestledABearOnce - Tastes Like Kevin Bacon
The Agonist - Serendipity
Walls of Jericho - Try.Fail.Repeat.
Nightwish - Planet Hell
Tesseract has some harsh vocals on their first album, but they're like non-existent in the new album.
Nice ! I really liked Tesseract !
I'll be listening to yours today sharky.
Do you guys know these :
Pelican - The Woods
The Amity Affliction - Open letter
Russian Circles - 309
There's hipster, and then there's metalhead-level hipster.
It's hipster to suggest good metal bands when someone asks?
I thought it was hipster if I claimed that he would have never heard of them, or that he shouldn't like certain bands because they got popular.
*** Awesome ***
Structures - Departure & Transitions
Walls of Jericho - Try.Fail.Repeat.
*** Good ***
The HAARP Machine - Disclosure
My Bitter End - Becoming Misfortune (I like their music, but not the singing)
Katatonia - Onward Into Battle
The Agonist - Serendipity
Nightwish - Planet Hell (I know this band, it's weird, I can't have a straight opinion, I don't know if I like them)
*** Nope ***
Volumes - Wormholes
Intronaut - Milk Leg
Woods of Ypres - Kiss My Ashes
IWrestledABearOnce - Tastes Like Kevin Bacon
Here's the thing. Most of these bands, even if I flagged them as "nope", the musical part is usually good... it's the singing I'm not a big fan of.
But, overall, great stuff man ! There are a lot of good suggestions here
I've never heard of any of these bands, haha. xD Most of the bands I listen to I've been introduced through other people. I've been listening to the same albums by Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage, and In Flames for years. DX Slowly going through the lists to see what I like.
Can't really think of much more that similar to what you've already liked, but if you like Nightwish, check out Epica.
Epica Resign To Surrender A New Age Dawns Part IV [With Lyrics] - YouTube
Then you might have to try some bands across different albums. Lots of these groups swap members, and talent is rotated out pretty regularly.
If you like the line-up it sucks, if you don't it's a chance to like a band you didn't before.
An example is My Bitter End. They took a 3-4 year hiatus and have returned with a new album and new vocalist. So here's that same song with a different lead.
My Bitter End - Becoming Misfortune
