I listen to a lot of thrash and progressivel. I like being able to hear the vocals being singed and not listen to RAW RAW RAWR RAWR RAW stuff I can hardly understand. Im big on vocals in metal and also the complexity of it. Care to share any of the bands you love?
EDIT** Say Slipknot or Atreyu and ill kill you
Depends on what you've actually listened to. Since I don't feel like listing bands you've already listened to. Though I've been enjoying Space Odyssey recently. Check out "Embrace The Galaxy" if you haven't yet.
Try listening to Killswitch Engage, it's pretty easy to understand their vocals.
What do you already listen to and are you just looking for thrash and progressive stuff? Either way, Bathory's Nordland, Nordland II and Hammerheart are all fantastic metal albums with clean vocals.
Slipknot and Atreyu.
But seriously, uhh, Shattersphere is a pretty great band.
Dream Theater
They are progressive, the singer is professionally trained, the vocals are very clear and pretty complex and the music is technical as hell and omg they're dream theater you can't go wrong.
Mushroomhead
you can't go wrong with Evergrey
Mattias IA Eklundh
Waterclime (leans more towards rock)
Marcel Coenen
Concerto Moon (Power, but whatever)
Hypocrisy, Mercenary, Strapping Young Lad, Wintersun, Dark Tranquillity, In Flames (earlier), Amon Amarth and Biomechanical for fast, agressive, heavy, raw, technical crap.
Dream Theater, OSI, Kamelot, Boris (newer), Pain of Salvation, Machinae Supremacy and Orphaned Land for varied, technically impressive and keyboard-heavy crap.
Soilwork, In Flames (newer), Kovenant, Pain, Nightwish, Blind Guardian and Eldritch for catchy-yet-heavy simplistic stuff which you can't help but enjoy.
Fantomas, Ulver, Kadenzza, Age of Silence, Arcturus, Spiral Architect and Cult of Luna for the just-plain-weird.
Dream theater,dragon forceandracer x kinda match that.
Klarth, you realize the thread maker doesn't like growled vocals right?
Well if you want thrash and audiable vocals then the only one I know of is Pantera.
A metal band without growls? Oh....
Well, if you want something soft, with killer instrumentals, try:
Weballergy by Sonata Arctica.
It's currently my favorite song, but don't know about it being considered metal. You find out. ;)
"Something soft" is Power Metal? Christ. I hate to see what Something hard would be. :o
Well, I sincerely love it. Especially [0:39] through [0:50]
Machinae Supremacy, Dream Theater, and Office of Stategic Influence. None of those are RAHRAARHAGAHGRAHRG. I heartily recommend all three.
I'm using this thread for suggestions too, so I'll check it out. :cool:
Time for me to steal this thread. I like heavy stuff, instrumental-wise, but I don't like it when the singer is screaming his lungs out, making it sound like crap, hell, I would still be happy if there were no singer at all, any suggestions for me?
Elegance [3:03]
Daisuke Ishiwatari, Koh-ichi Seiyama
No screaming, no singer, just kickass instrumentals.
...Machinae Supremacy, Dream Theater, and OSI. Again. :)
CAGE,paragon,metalium,wizard,gamma ray,blind gaurdian,helloween,king diamond,mercyful fate,amsterdam(which is my fav band),manowar,ignitor,hammerfall,overkill,TestAmenT,metal church,anthrax,biorhythm..lmao If you wan't more send me a PM cause I have a crap load on myspace, power metal is the way you should go, blue steel agency(look them up) has alot of great bands....and I thought I made a thread like this a while ago.lol
Oh yeah, Nightingale. Clean vocals and pretty melodic. Each album by them sounds a little different. I'm probably the only one here who even knows about them, though I wouldn't mind being proven wrong.
fear factory, although i havent listened to them in like 5 years.
if u want a metal band without screaming try the new avenged sevenfold. and when i say new avenged sevenfold that means their music off of city of evil. their older stuff which is more of metal-core has more screaming in it but u can still understand matt when he does scream. i recommend these songs from them. "And All Things Will End", "Chapter Four", and "Unholy Confessions". they arent really metal as much as they used to be but i still like them. now they are more pop. which is fine by me. but just my opinion.
how about Stryper, REZ , LEVITICUS, BLOODGOOD, ANGELICA ,VENGEANCE RISING
they should just sticky this thread because there's a new "recommend me metal!" thread every 5 months or so
BJ, your sig is funny but that is gross half those chicks are butt ugly.and borat is nasty.lol
