Anyone have songs that song like this version of Come to Daddy by Aphex Twin?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-9UvrLyj3k

Like really aggressive, darker electronic music?

That song always reminded me a lot of The Downward Spiral from Nine Inch Nails. In particular the opening track Mr Self Destruct.
Pretty much everyone has heard that album though so maybe try some Faderhead.

boy in da corner is exceptional, its kind of the only 'canon' grime album. there are other albums but they're mostly not great. the genre sort of lives and dies by lives sets, mixes, and radio sets. elijah, who runs the label butterz compiled his 50 favorite grime sets here: http://elijah365.com/post/49586292631/50sets

uhhh grime 101... crews would be essentials, east connection, slk, meridian, more fire crew, roll deep, boy better know, nasty crew, ruff sqwad, newham generals, slew dem, and the square

individual mcs would be wiley, meridian dan, riko dan, trim, skepta, d double e, god's gift, tinchy stryder, slix, dirty danger, rapid, flirta d, lethal bizzle, k9, tempa t, chronik, and novelist

currently there's a lot of cool stuff going on with boxed, different circles, local action, gobstopper and all affiliates. slackk, oil gang, murlo, jt the goon, mr mitch, mumdance, logos. most of it's on the instrumental end tho

this is just a handful of tracks i would say are "watershed" moments in the genre or w/e

I'd also seriously recommend checking out other DefJux dudes in general. Mr. Lif's stuff would probably be up your alley for sure. Hangar 18 put out a couple of really fun albums, as did Rob Sonic (who's still going). Aesop Rock is hit or miss depending on who you ask but None Shall Pass is a great album.
I'd specifically mention Mr. Lif - I Phantom and the Emergency Rations EP (Phantom is a standout track, maybe top 10 all time for me), and also I agree on Aesop Rock but Daylight, Nightlight, and No Regrets are terrific tracks (from Labor Days and the Daylight EP)

For bass stuff - I don't know how much stuff you're already familiar with so here's some random stuff across genres:

Morphine - Buena - very bass-centric. No guitarist. Just bass, drums, and a horn.

Maceo Parker's solo albums. The first one I listened to was Funkoverload. It's pretty good. My favourite is Life On Planet Groove.

If you're willing to go back a decade before Parliament-Funkadelic, you might enjoy Booker T. & the MG's or King Curtis & the Kingpins (the two best groups of musicians in the R&B genre during the 1960s). They predate "funk" in the George Clinton vein but they were incredibly groove-oriented.

Don't really know much about bass. I appreciate the bass guitar playing on the first Specials album (especially on the song "Nite Klub") and Too Much Pressure by the Selecter, but I don't play bass so I don't know how good it actually is.

Morphine is such a good recommendation here. My personal favorite is Good (you speak my language!), but it's all great. The songwriting and overall aura of that music is awe inspiring. Sandman: incredible bass player with a bass voice who literally died on stage.

That's pretty vague and I don't really know what solid basswork means here, but here's some music I like that does cool things with bass.

Barathrum are this black metal band from Finland, and they're not very good these days, but their early material is really cool and bass heavy, doesn't sound like much else. they used to have three bassists when playing live. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXqewAgMd20

Another black metal band(this is the last one I swear) who do cool things with bass are Necromantia from Greece. They have a bassist as normal, but also use an 8 stringed bass instead of a guitar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSa98vHnhvk

There's this french prog band called Magma who had a bassist called Jannick Top who was really cool and was pretty important to their sound, this track has some of his best playing on it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzyOi5XRu_g

Kinda related to Magma is this Japanese band called Ruins who are just a drummer and a bassist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TT0tCOvyFk

Also there's a jazz album called Music From Two Basses by Dave Holland and Barre Phillips that you'll probably like, basically just two dudes on basses playing off each other but it's very good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaNqPXVzsEs

-no super canonized stuff that i would have heard already becoming rock literate. i do like nwobhm and american thrash metal though (to an extent)
-i like old school thrash and death metal from what i've heard. not really interested in melodic or techy stuff
-i like the cheesy cartoon satanist affectations of mercyful fate or whoever way more than any stuff that trades in high fantasy or lotr poo poo
-i like bm from what i've heard but no nsbm, please. and no usbm unless it's exceedingly good
-i like stoner/sludge/doom/drone/etc i guess but again no canon stuff. a lot of it is fine but some of it (torche) just sounds like detuned superchunk to me
-i like some metalcore like integrity and disembodied and hatebreed and (some) converge. i guess this extends to grindcore and crossover thrash but i know less about those
-i like some industrial metal like godflesh and mid-career ministry and i like industrial as a genre

yeah this is a good point. i probably don't need to clarify on the first part about canonization but i feel like in the mid-late 2000s there was a huge push by label pr to get indie rock fans into hip metal bands. you know, boris, sunn, mastodon/baroness/kylesa, etc. and so i got into like earth, melvins, floor, sleep, electric wizard, down, bongripper etc incidentally as a result.

seriously, huge thanks. i've only heard a handful of those, so i'm just gonna add em all to spotify playlists and go through em. i'll check back in here for more after i've listened to and processed them.

(also thanks for getting what i meant by usbm. i guess i'm fine with american stuff (i like some bone awl songs for example) and its not even a matter of authenticity or w/e i just don't think that wittr, liturgy, deafheaven, xasthur, nachtmystium, etc. are all that compelling)

Sammy Davis Jr. Jr. is also in repose.
Yob is one of my favorite doom bands. They are definitely one of the most well-known, but I don't know how much you've heard from them, so check 'em out.
Some more bands:

-Horrendous - A modern death metal band that does old school 90s-style DM. https://horrendous.bandcamp.com/
-Nightbringer - A great black metal band that is way into the occult stuff. https://nightbringer.bandcamp.com/
-Below the Sun - A Siberian doom band that's mostly instrumental. Someone posted their album in the doom/sludge/stoner thread (which you might want to check out) and it was a really great surprise. https://belowthesundoom.bandcamp.com/releases
-Primitive Man - Really nihilistic/misanthropic doom. https://primitivemandoom.bandcamp.com/
-Dead to a Dying World - More doom (I like doom, alright?). Their latest album is great. https://deadtoadyingworld.bandcamp.com/album/litany
-Immortal Bird - Mostly death I would say, but incorporates a lot of different styles. https://immortalbird.bandcamp.com/
-Mortals - Blackened, doomy, sludgy stuff. https://mortals.bandcamp.com/music
-False - More black metal I am in love with. https://gileadmedia.bandcamp.com/album/untitled-2015
-Obsequiae - Aria of Vernal Tombs is one of the best things I've heard this year. It's Medieval-tinged black metal and, to me, it's so joyously composed that I can't stop hearing it. http://listen.20buckspin.com/album/aria-of-vernal-tombs-2
-Forn - Bleak as gently caress doom. https://forn.bandcamp.com/
-Vile Creature - This two-piece came as a pleasant surprise to me earlier this year. They describe themselves as "Anti-Oppressive, Queer, Vegan Doom + Gloom". I fell in love with this album when I first heard, even more so when I saw them play and heard the guitarist/vocalist's story (he was born intersex, had some real lovely times because of it, the stuff on this album is really angry and really real for a change). https://vilecreature.bandcamp.com/releases
-Sea - This is my friends' doom band and I love them, so I have to give them a shout out. https://heavysea.bandcamp.com/album/demo-2

I realize a lot of the stuff I put up here is pretty new, but there's obviously a huge, long-lived world of metal out there for the discovering. Have fun!

Yes.
Ok, I'm gonna be the one asking for stuff for a change. I'm mainly looking for individual songs of a certain type.

I've been loving the poo poo out of the revival of 60s- and 70s style bluesy hard rock kinda stuff that's been going on the last few years. And quite often my favourite songs from a given band will be the slower, moodier ones, often with rather intense buildups. Some examples would be The Siren and Slow Motion Countdown from Graveyard, and No Hope Left for Me from Blues Pills. For something older, Child in Time by Deep Purple is also an excellent specimen of what I'm after. Oh and Praise You by Europe, for a new song from an old band. EDIT: Also this one.

So yeah, give me your favourite oldtimey blues rock power ballad kinda songs. I'm also cool with possibly veering towards doom/stoner metal a bit, as long as it isn't too slow and droning. No matter if it's an actual old song or a new one from this revival trend.

Personally I wouldn't waste time with a lot of modern stuff, because a lot of it is either bad or good but derivative of older bands which should probably be listened to first.

there's a lot of black metal that isn't 'canonical' norwegian or swedish stuff that metal dudes generally know about but isn't very known outside of that, here's some. I'm leaving out really obvious stuff like Bathory and Darkthrone, because it sounds like you probably know that already(although if you don't I can talk about that too).
Czech scene
Master's Hammer - Ritual (this is one of my favourite bm albums)
Root - Hell Symphony (this album is cool because it has great riffs and also because all the song titles are different names for satan)
Amon Goeth - The Worship (not nsbm even though their name is from a nazi guy)

Greek scene
Rotting Christ - Thy Mighty Contract (another favourite album)
Necromantia - Scarlet Evil Witching Black (very cool band that uses a bass instead of a lead guitar)
Varathron - His Majesty at the Swamp

other important/good stuff that you may not have heard
Mortuary Drape - All the Witches Dance (you'll like these guys if the occult vibe that mercyful fate sometimes do is your thing)
Barathrum - Hailstorm (really primitive bassy sound)
Tormentor - The Seventh Day of Doom (1st wave band, quite thrashy)
Vlad Tepes / Belketre - March To the Black Holocaust (really raw lo fi split)
Xibalba - Ah Dzam Poop Ek (cool mexican band a bit like darkthone, have the word poop in their album title)
Demoncy - Joined in Darkness (one of the rare actually good USBM bands)
Bestial Warlust - Vengeance War til Death (really chaotic sounding Australian band)
Beherit - Drawing Down the Moon (real cool occult sounding band from finland, the dude does scary robot vokills and it's great)
Blasphemy - Fallen Angel of Doom (canadian band that influenced a lot of 'bestial' black/death type bands)
Mystifier - Wicca (primitive Brazilian band but with less thrash than most old brazilian stuff)
Destroyer 666 - Unchain the Wolves (ownage Australian black/thrash)


in terms of doom the canonical bands are all older ones from before the stoner stuff got mixed in, like St Vitus, Pentagram, Candlemass and Trouble.

Infernal War - Terrorfront
These guys are probably not a good recommendation because while they aren't explicitly nsbm they lean that way(some of the members have played live with an RAC band and are friends with said band).

awesome thanks, i'll give these a listen. i've listened to the darkthrone unholy trinity records (i really really really like these) and bathory - under the sign of the black mark and some influences like venom and celtic frost, and contemporaries like mayhem and gorgoroth and immortal and emperor but i'm a little in the dark with this stuff too. let me know if there are any essential bands/records i'm missing. this was a while ago though so i should probably revisit them and i'm also sure there are like consensus points with where one should stop listening for most of these bands that i'd be interested in hearing about.

I realize a lot of the stuff I put up here is pretty new, but there's obviously a huge, long-lived world of metal out there for the discovering. Have fun!

i'll give some of these a shot but it's like a human heart said in that a lot of modern stuff isn't good or bad, but derivative and i sort of don't have any way of contextualizing a lot of what these bands are doing yet. the metal records i've heard in my life so far probably couldn't even total a top 50 list :sigh:

For Bathory you will probably also want to listen to the first two albums and Blood Fire Death. His viking stuff is good but pretty different to the early material and he also has a few real bad records in there(don't listen to Octagon). For other important first wave stuff you should listen to Hellhammer(pre Celtic Frost) and Sarcofago - I.N.R.I if you haven't. Also probably Sodom's first ep and album. You've got most of the standard Norwegian bands already, but you may also want to check out Ildjarn(very raw, sort of punky sounding). There's a lot of Darkthrone clone bands out there, but with many you might as well listen to Darkthrone again - Judas Iscariot did Darkthrone cloning pretty well, and it's another example of USBM that wasn't terrible.The consensus for where to stop for most of those bands(and a lot of metal in general) depends a bit on how jaded and reactionary you are I guess . Like I wouldn't recommend listening to any Mayhem after DMDS, but some people like it for whatever reason. For Gorgoroth I wouldn't listen to anything after Under the Sign of Hell, for Emperor the first album is probably the place to stop(although I'm not much of an Emperor fan even when they were good), and the best Immortal albums are the first two, although At the Heart of Winter isn't too bad.Generally later stuff from a lot of these bands isn't that important, even if you think it's good, early albums or even demos tend to be the important ones in terms of creating a sound and influencing other bands(although there are some bands that are exceptions to this). I can definitely give more recommendations but it might depend on what you like out of the things I've already suggested, because there's a lot of different bands you might want to look at depending on what you like.

Listen to the Nihilist demos


look i know i turned this into a meme and all but this is actually the correct answer

spend your time listening to first wave bm and never look back. listen to the hellhammer poo poo and then grab some von or something

go czech and listen to root & masters hammer

then become extremely cool and listen to mortuary drape


edit: uh if you like thrash already listen to some blacky thrash poo poo like the early aura noir records or desaster

Looking for electronic music with a heavy use of conventional instruments that are both used straight and distorted, particularly pianos and guitars.

You're probably already familiar with Shpongle, but you didn't mention them so I felt the need to bring them up. They're psytrance like a lot of Infected Mushroom, but they use a wide variety of real instruments like upright bass, different woodwind instruments, piano, acoustic guitar, brass, and a bunch of African and South American percussion instruments. They also do a lot of vocal sampling and modulation to turn voices into synths.

Here's a track off my favorite album:

On the more funk influenced french house side of things(since you mentioned Daft Punk), check out Lemaitre:

I will be there to receive the new mind
So....I actually liked a lot of stuff that got lumped into the whole "witch house" thing. Salem, Balam Acab, oOoOo, Holy Other, Lake Radio, Clams Casino, etc. I saw on Twitter today that Balam Acab has a new one coming out pretty soon. Can anyone recommend some good albums in that vein on what I've mentioned? Or I guess good stuff from whatever witch house became as it progressed/evolved/whatever?

So while I was in Moscow I got turned onto Maria Chiakovskaya (Мария Чайковская) and got to see her in concert. I would really love some recommendations for similar singers/artists. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSQTFbRP_yo

She was explained to me by Russian friends as being sort of jazz-ish. Not sure if that is true (I know gently caress all about jazz) but I love her style.

Actually, if anyone has suggestions for Russian contemporary music in general I'd be really grateful.

You didn't mention Purity Ring or Crystal Castles so definitely check them out if you haven't. Shrines from Purity Ring is my favorite and the later albums fall off IMO. You'll also like Forest Swords, Engravings is the only album of theirs I've listened to a ton. You might also check these guys out:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SV2g4-DrAYY that's Lulu Rouge. More conventional beats but still capture that sort of weird emotive darkness.
