Radio Spiricom posted:Can I get some recommendations for traditional doom metal? I like Saint Vitus, The Obsessed, Pentagram, Trouble, Candlemass, Witchfinder General, Cathedral, Reverend Bizarre, etc. I'm less keen on sludge / stoner type stuff which I mostly find boring but I like Eyehategod, Crowbar, Harvey Milk, Melvins, and the first two Electric Wizard LPs so if you want to recommend some of that that you think I'd like that's cool too My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost and Anathema are generally regarded as the big three bands of the second wave of doom metal, and they're definitely worth checking out.

Modern prog rock is concentrated on a few labels, so if you find something you like, look at other artists who record for the same label. KScope and Inside Out Music are the two big ones I'm familiar with, but there are probably others as well.

The big problem with automated recommendations is that they tend to push you towards very popular things in whatever category you're dealing with. When it comes to discovering new music that not a lot of people are already listening to, people still have the edge. This is a very hard problem to solve and will probably be with us for a while.Hooplah posted:I mostly use last.fm and spotify. Both mainly by going down related artist rabbit holes. lastfm recommendations is now the home page when you're logged in. spotify builds playlists of recommended songs based on what you listen to and i've found tons of stuff that way too. Does last.fm still do recommendations on the artist level, or can they also make more specific recommendations based on the songs you listen to?

Supreme Beings of Leisure are usually described as trip hop. Massive Attack and Portishead are the two similar big names, but if you look around in that genre, you'll find other stuff.

I don't know if the Melvins really count as grunge, but they had a pretty big influence on the Seattle scene around that time.

El Gallinero Gros posted:Also, what would be Earth's most accessible record? Everyone who considers themselves sonically adventurous should listen to Earth 2 at some point, but that's pretty much the worst starting point. I haven't really kept up with them, but unless they've made drastic changes in their progression, I'd say reverse chronological order is the best way to go. I feel like have to throw in a caveat that drone metal isn't really something you'd ever call accessible, but over time the songs have gotten shorter and more like actual music rather than a pure wall of sound.

The Offspring were never completely traditional punk, but they were more like that on their earlier albums. It's worth digging into their back catalog if you like anything from them. Same with Green Day. I don't know the genre terribly well so I can't recommend too much. I like Discount's Half Fiction, so you might check that out.

Vincent posted:Where should I start if I wanna get into Diamanda Galas and see if she's my cup of tea? Are you more interested in her very avant-garde work or the stuff that's closer to traditional songs? Either way there's a fair amount of variety in what she's done, so going in chronological order is a reasonable option. ultrafilter fucked around with this message at 04:51 on Sep 10, 2019 |

Those are both examples of ambient music. I've heard other things like them, but I'm blanking on names right now. If you search for "ambient" as a tag/keyword, you should find some similar stuff.

Third for Kyuss. About half the band was in Queens of the Stone Age at the beginning, so maybe check out their early work, but don't get your hopes up too high.

The tl;dr is that Ulver took a lot of inspiration from early 80s synth pop and industrial on that particular album. The AllMusic review breaks out the influences pretty much track by track and is your best bet for starting out. Ulver is a very difficult band to recommend because their sound is so wildly inconsistent from album to album. No matter your tastes you're going to find something in their catalog you like, but it might only be one song.

Lester Shy posted:I know I'm very late the to the party, but who should I check out if I like Megadeth and don't care for the other "Big Four" bands at all? Slayer's too monotone and grind-y, Metallica's fine but a little boring and Anthrax just does nothing for me. I dig how proggy and melodic a lot of Megadeth songs are. Nevermore and Iced Earth are worth checking out. Dream Theater if you don't need anything particularly heavy. Cynic if you want something very proggy. Let us know what you think of those and that'll help to pick other options.

Lester Shy posted:I'm a big metal fan...but anything before like 1990 is a huge blindspot for me. I was going to an effort post on the early history of heavy metal, but I think it's better if I just recommend that you read Sound of the Beast: The Complete Headbanging History of Heavy Metal. It's more of a history of metal as a cultural phenomenon than it is about the music, but it's still a comprehensive account of everything happened before about 2000 and will give you a lot of insight as to what might be worth looking at from that time period.

El Gallinero Gros posted:Bands similar to ISIS, please Neurosis was one of their big influences, but they may not be exactly what you're looking for. Check out Through Silver in Blood, which is generally regarded as their best album. Same for Godflesh, who peaked with Streetcleaner. Last.fm's bio has this quote, which you may find useful: quote:The distinctive tone of material since and including Oceanic had a noticeable impact on avant-garde metal, helping develop the sound of several contemporaries; Cult of Luna, Pelican, Tides, Rosetta, and Russian Circles all cite Isis as an influence. This underground success attracted the attention of the likes of Mogwai, with whom they have toured on numerous occasions.

Which Metallica have you listened to? They've made several big changes in sound at various points in their career, and the stuff they were putting out around the time of Reign in Blood definitely put them in the same ballpark. Metallica and Slayer were half of the big four of thrash metal. The other two were Megadeth and Anthrax, and they might be worth checking out. For Megadeth, start with either Peace Sells... or Rust in Peace. For Anthrax, start with Among the Living. If you like other of those, there might be some other thrash or speed metal acts worth checking out. Ministry is generally considered more industrial than metal. The list of similar artists from last.fm is a good place to start. Melvins get lumped with stoner, doom and sludge but they're not exactly in any of those genres. What's your take on early Alice in Chains?

Look into funeral doom and drone metal. That's where you get the really slow, really heavy riffs and a general atmosphere similar to those songs. There's also a genre known as psychedelic doom metal, but that tends to be a little faster and less heavy. ultrafilter fucked around with this message at 13:38 on Oct 21, 2020 |
