Wednesday 13
...and finally Slipknot...
sorry if the list is kind of long.
any help would be appreciated...(did I spell that right?)

Have you tried Dimmu Borgir? They're pretty good, methinks.

Oh, and what is a thread about Metal bands doing on a Goth forum? I'm just curious.

Dimmu Borgir you say? I will give them a try thanks...I think there are some similarities between metal and goth music...I mean soem goth bands are metal...I think anyway, please correct me if I am wrong.

No, actually, goth and metal are two different things. Of course, there are goths who also listen to metal (myself included), but the goth subculture gravitates around genres such as Gothic Rock, Deathrock, Darkwave, Dark Cabaret, Industrial etc.

I see...well thank you for correcting me...I tend to get these things wrong (my IQ isn't very high you see...or is that my self esteem? :()

Well, people often mistake Goth for Metal. It has nothing to do with IQ, it's simply lack of info. Anyway, it's a good thing that you're still interested in the subculture even after you've found out it isn't what you expected. :)

Yay. Now I can tell my friends that they are FINALLY wrong about something. I hate it when people give me bad info. But now I know :)

If you need any help telling your friends how wrong they are about this, I'm sure you can find plenty of people here who would be willing to give you some exact phrases to use. :-D

Phrases would be nice. You can never know to many phrases :D

I may have to try to find this forum's obscenity policies before I do that.

lmao... (god damn 'message to fucking short' thing)

How about Immortal (norwegian black metal) or Vader (great band from poland, I think if you like Behemoth, you might like Vader also)? Check them out and tell me how you like them :)

Oh, and Emperor of course!

Thanks! I will try them out :D

You should try these amazing albums out:

Dispatched - Motherwar
Old Man's Child - Born of the Flickering & The Pagan Prosperity
I - Between Two Worlds (an excellent side project from Abbath of Immortal)
Nokturnal Mortum - To The Gates Of Blashpemous Fire
Dissection - Storm of the Lights Bane
Opera IX - The Black Opera
Dawn - Slaughter Sun (a very hard album to get, Its just as good as Dissection)

Fuck them. They just like their little branch terms for music.

I like to pile music into two categories. Good and bad.

Oh yeah, and check out The Berzerker.

Damn...where's my brother when I need him?
Anyway, as mainstream as my recommendations are, try Mastodon if you like Trivium and Shadows Fall. They're sort of a mix of different genres, and their music contains some elements of stoner metal. If you head in the stoner direction and you're not afraid to try something slightly different, try Kyuss. If you're looking for metal in genral with "content and initiative", try Paths of Posession, something of an offshoot band that features the vocalist from Cannibal Corpse. If you don't mind nu-metal with political themes, try listening to System Of A Down. Continuing with the mainstream-with-political initiative theme, if you're not afraid to listen to rock with rap overtones, listen to Rage Against the Machine and Faith No More. If you want to get really political and want strong rap overtones, there's Con$olidated, although, again, take note of the strong rap overtones.

If you want to get into bands like Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth, and Children of Bodom, try Nightwish. It lands slightly in Gothic metal territory; if that genre is your forte, continue on with Lacuna Coil, although I'm jumping the gun a bit.

Wow, thanks. Lots of bands for me to add to my list now :D

Jack Off Jill, Bread and Water, Kittie, Blood Loss (my friend's 2 cousins are in the band), and Die Warzau.

Wow, both at the bump and the fact that you know people in a band sweet! I appreciate the bump by the way. But I need more bands like DevilDriver now...can't get enough of them *drools*

Metabolik, there is a good thread about metal a few down from this one that you should read.

O RLY? Well thanking you very much.
