MrBling posted:Where are you with neo-folk as a genre? Because that seems to hit most of your points really. I mean I could come up with a mess of abstract poo poo about how I want stuff that sounds like autumn leaves on a wet sidewalk on a foggy October night, but that's probably not very helpful.  For what it's worth, of the stuff I've been recommended elsewhere thus far, this particular song was probably the best fit, albeit a bit on the cutesy side. Jadz posted:Gonna be honest, though, most of that stuff you posted isn't really doing it for me. I'm not really into folk music, I just like melancholy acoustic rock. Tarot sounded like a legit medieval bard, which is cool, but not really what I'm after Anyways, I'm gonna rattle off a few more suggestions, although annoyingly I'm having trouble coming up with strictly acoustic stuff. Hopefully that's not a very strict requirement, although all of these do have pretty prominent acoustic elements. Europe - Angels (With Broken Hearts). Yes, that Europe. But this song is actually from 2015. Sentenced - The River. Metal band. Melancholy and misery to a downright comical extent is their thing. This particular song has this cool half-acoustic thing going on. Bruce Dickinson - Tears of the Dragon Again has a fair amount of distorted electric guitar in addition to acoustic, but gently caress it I'm including this because it's just such a quintessential rock ballad Poets of the Fall - Carnival of Rust Quite simply one of the most heart-wrenchingly beautiful songs I know of. Pretentious, gratuitously weird music video notwithstanding. Nordick fucked around with this message at 21:30 on Oct 10, 2016 |

I will be listening to some more Poets and seeing what else they've got. Thanks  Zesty Mordant posted:Red House Painters? Not always acoustic, but melancholy as much as you need. I like this!

sun kil moon is basically the better sequel to red house painters, so listen to them too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBBqLPUxddc and if you like them, might i recommend a few of jim o'rourke's albums. it's not all acoustic, and it's not all melancholy, but it hits the same kind of burgundy-sippin smart-guy-pop notes that RHP/SKM does for me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7-VFiUkjbI quadrophrenic fucked around with this message at 05:48 on Oct 12, 2016 |

Hey, just wondering if anyone knows of any bands that have the energy and style of hard rock as Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction? I think I found them a while ago by looking up similar bands to Kix (despite them being somewhat different; Kix being more like a glam rock version of AC/DC) I think, but I can't seem to find any other bands quite like them. I'm mostly thinking about the below songs: Prime Mover (mostly after the :30 intro) Tattoed Beat Messiah Holy Gasoline So yeah, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

if you truly want to full witchhouse experience btw: get into anime like not in the typical nerd lame way but the kid who always has a switchblade at the church youth group way, post on /mu/, have way too many pics of bandaged asian women on your computer (more than zero), have a constant sweaty sheen even though you never go outside and you don't do any physical activity. then dump the entire aesthetic you have built to cover your lack of personality to jump on the vaporwave bandwagon

I'm mostly thinking about the below songs: Audrey Horne: Great melodic hard rock, some tracks have a bit of a metal tinge. Youngblood and Pure Heavy are fantastic albums. Not as blatantly 80s as Zodiac Mindwarp though. The Night Flight Orchestra: Some review said these guys do a great job emulating what 70s bands sounded like in the 80s. Can't dispute that, with songs like this and this. I mean, I'm getting vibes of Graham Bonnet era Rainbow and a whiff of Thin Lizzy. Less gritty/sleazy sounding than ZM. Zero Nine: An actual old band. Not terribly familiar with them, but their biggest hit song is from the album Intrigue so start with that I guess. It's not the only good song on it either. A bit more metal than ZM I guess? Hollywood Vampires: A supergroup/project by Alice Cooper, Joe Perry and Johnny Depp.* Just one album, that has a few original songs and a bunch of covers, a few of which are funnily arranged into like two song medleys. A bit of a weird case, but a drat fine and entertaining rock album with a bit of a novelty value. *: Yes, really. I didn't know he's a rock guitarist, either.

Depends on what you like, their earlier material is basically just punk, but a lot of the later stuff has more metal coming in. Maybe Beyond the Valley of 1984 first and then move on to Coup d'État or back to New Hope for the Wretched depending on what you like. Maggots: The Record is this metal concept album with kind of funny 'story' sections, it's pretty cool too. The later albums she did under her own name are quite bad except for one or two songs iirc.
