These were two albums responsible for a huge musical transition of mine back when I was introduced to them in 2001. They lead me to other great artist like My Dying Bride and Opeth. Both bands are excellent and have many other fantastic albums, but these two are still my favorites from them. I believe that you will appreciate them like I have and that they will lead to you exciting new sounds and pleasures.
I discovered Nevermore while looking for the song "The Sound of Silence." by Simon And Garfunkel. I saw that there was a remake, so I checked it out and BAM!
The album responsible for my transition?
Dream Theater - Images and Words
Anathema is excellent. Nevermore, not so much.
The album responsible for my transition: Darkthrone's "A Blaze in the Northern Sky." I wouldn't've liked half of the non-metal bands I do now without that particular album. As odd as that may seem.
I appreciate the suggestions, because they both seem to be good from what I read about them on the site. It'd be cool if someone could upload either one of these two albums.
Listen to Blind Guardian's "A Night At the Opera" and "Nightfall in Middle-Earth" instead.
Blind Guardian is EPIC, but I really don't think they're all that great :(
They aren't amazing by any means, then again he's not exactly a metal-buff. Plus, those two albums are a ****ton better than anything Nevermore has put out.
Hey, Vampiro, I'd like to hear Tuatha De Danann, if you know what I mean.
Oh ****. I'm doing it RIGHT now.
k, so everyone has to download it, because everyone should listen to it.
Will do.
Oh, and I've heard a lot of progressive, black, and doom metal already This thread title makes it sound like I just started yesterday.
Vamp, what are you trash-talking Nevermore for? This ***less Endeavor is great.
Anyway, it'd be pretty cool if someone could upload some of these albums.
Dead Heart, in a Dead World is better than anything by Blind Guardian. "Insignificant" is a fantastic song. Demons & Wizards are superior to Blind Guardian, too. Iced Earth is bad. Barenaked Ladies are ok live.
lol @ PHM "uhhh k guys upload it now plz"
The first metal stuff I ever listened to was Dream Theater. Just random song of theirs off Limewire. Then I came upon Blind Guardian(which holds a special place in my heart), and finally Opeth. Then I requested some black metal from Vamp, and now that's my favorite <3. Soon as I get back on my own computer I'll be getting on DC++ and downloading that **** like mad.
But yeah, I want some Allagoch, too. Whichever has that suicidal scream vamp mentioned. Can't get enough of that stuff :-*
Check out Kittie. Vampy introduced me. lawl.
lol what?
PHM, sending over AIM is waaaaay easier than uploads.
Unless the person has a ****ing slow connection.
**** you
I wasn't specifically targeting Shade with that statement. It was a general opinion.
My first transition was either Dream Theatre - Scenes from a Memory/Awake. Then ******T sent me a folder of Post Rock and another band ... specfically .. . ***speed You! Black Emperor.
I actually don't have anything by Godspeed! You Black Emperor. I want to get some of their music.
Good stuff, good stuff. But A Silver Mt. Zion is better.
True, true. Speaking of which, I lost my Silver Mt. Zion the last time I rebooted ... if you don't mind, can you upload it for me? :-P
I believe SMZ is a side project of GS!YBE?
Yup. What albums do you want?
Is it too demanding to ask for all of them? :-[
Not rly
plz
Yeah, I'll grab anything post-rock or similar that shows up, too. :)
