It sounds very technical to me, and the chords all have an easy-to-follow structure and melody - like this song could have some awesome lyrics to go with it, but it doesn't need them, because it's just that badass Check out Pelican.

AAL might be a bit on the technical side, based on what he's said. Some instrumental stuff that comes to mind - Russian Circles, Talons, Cloudkicker (you can stream the lot at that link, and most of it's free to download). They're not all metal "strictly speaking," but they're heavy enough.

I'm constructing a spotify playlist to listen to during the revision period. It's mostly UK indie from 2005-2009. Easy to listen to, but not bland; either some interesting Lyrics or beat/tempo that can drum in my head as I study. So far my playlist has: This is an Emergency, and I found out by The Pigeon Detectives Moving to New York, Kill the Director, and Lets Dance to joy devision by The Wombats Love it when you Call, Kettles on, and Anyone by The Feeling America, + In the Morning by Razorlight Somewhere only we Know, + Bedshaped by Keane. Obviously these songs arn't all similar, but they share some familiar traits that i'm too ignorant about music to identify. Anyway I'd be really happy if someone could reccomend some further songs that fit into this sort of Indie List. cheers

I recently found Chambao, which is a Spanish group that mixes flamenco with electronic/chillout. Here are two songs- Ahí Estás Tú Pokito a Poko I am looking for anything that sounds similar to this, basically electronic music with flavors of something more traditional. I already know a few other groups that do this with bossa, just looking to find more.

I just really found all her albums to be very enjoyable and love her voice and just her sound I guess. I especially liked the Fisherman's Woman and Love in the Time of Science albums. You might like Belleruche, Regina Spektor, Emily Wells, Martina Topley-Bird, Andreya Triana.

I'd like to expand my taste in wankery beyond Rush, Yes, and Dream Theater. I've looked around for a lot of similarly categorized artists and haven't found anything that stands out. I also like a lot of metal from Iron Maiden/Metallica to Blind Guardian and Sonata Arctica, but I find that when I listen to more metal-oriented prog it becomes too repetitive or messy for me. Bonus points for good, technical drums, which can sometimes make or break a group for me.

Okay so I loving love Trippple Nippples.

Hooplah posted:Good loving luck. These guys are like my favorite band, but I've never found anyone quite like them. So I guess I'll second this request I've heard of neither of these guys, I'm digging both of them. thanks!! CNN Sports Ticker posted:I've been liking Pantha du Prince and I've been liking Burial lately. I know the two aren't quite the same, but I'm sure you can see the similarities.

Evans Blue kicked out their singer before their last album, and I don't really like their new sound. Parabelle, where the singer went, has a mediocre band backing the singer, so I don't really like them. The most recent A Perfect Circle album was generally disliked, and they've been on hiatus for a while with no album actively being worked on. 10 Years changed their sound, and while I like the direction they've taken, I miss where they've been. Are there any bands that are similar to older Evans Blue (The Melody and the Energetic Nature of Volume, The Pursuit Begins When This Portrayal of a Life Ends), the first two A Perfect Circle albums (Mer de Noms, Thirteenth Step), and the first three 10 Years albums (The Autumn Effect, Division, Killing All That Holds You)? I also enjoy the similar band Earshot, but it's not as alternative. My problem is that there's a lot of music classified alternative rock, but I have trouble finding a similar sound.

I'm looking to anything similar to the part of this song beginning at about 1:25: Hey Sexy Lady by i SQUARE, remixed by Skrillex http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMdXOqq3WL4&feature=player_detailpage#t=83s I've tried to find songs that sound similar but I haven't really had much luck. I also have no idea how to describe it to anyone.  I guess I'm looking for dubstep with a loud, noisy drop? I think? I am pretty bad at music terminology and still pretty confused about what the definition of dubstep actually is, because every time someone recommends a song to me it sounds wildly different from the next.Thank you!

You're looking for brostep; Skrillex, Borgore, Excision, Datsik, Tomba are some of the bigger names i can think of doing the style you're looking for. The reason you're getting mixed recommendations is because dubstep has/had a far different sound and the over reliance on bass wobbles and drops only developed in like 2007ish and is only really popular in the US as opposed to the UK. Most of the people who were listening to dubstep before that despise the new stuff and kinda took it as a signal that it was time to move into other directions (well, at least that's my interpretation). This is all discussed in the UK Bass music thread at length, on like every page, haha.

Hi, I've got another request. I'm interested in listening to heavy metal bands with female singers. I've listened to some Arch Enemy and Lacuna Coil, and I'm interested in bands with a similar sound to either of those two groups. I'm not interested in overly poppy or not very good stuff like Evanescence, Nightwish or Kittie, thanks.

ZakAce posted:Hi, I've got another request. kloa posted:In This Moment Also, you might like Lullacry, Within Temptation, Straight Line Stitch, Walls of Jericho (who had one of their albums produced by Corey Taylor of Slipknot/Stonesour, if that makes a difference to you) and possibly some of Otep (see below). The first two are far more similar to Lacuna Coil. WOJ are...a little unique, I can't really think of another band to compare them to. Stonesour with a chick singing? Anyway, they did a pretty kickass cover of House of the Rising Sun. SLS is much more like Arch Enemy or In This Moment, lots of awesome chick-screaming and growling. Otep is a little more like Arch Enemy, too, with lots of angry screaming and heavy music, but she also has a lot of wierd tracks that I just don't care for. You'll have to pick through her stuff to find the great (Ghost Flowers, Confrontation) amongst the not-so-great (T.R.I.C.), but she's worth having a look at.
