Bands You Think Are Under-Rated?

Metallica
/sarcastic response

I think Periphery is pretty underrated (except for on this site)

 

[Bleak]

...Circus Maximus? Isolate is an incredible album.

That's my vote.

Hell yeah dude!

I've always thought that post-metal/ambient sludge is the best music for really grim stormy days. I can't even begin to count the times I've driven in a storm blasting some epic Cult of Luna.

perfect music for those days
primordial are fucking perfect for windy couldy days/stormy days too, shits epic

Yep post-metal is awesome.. If you're fan of those you really should check Amenra (AMENRA on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads) and Bossk (Bossk 2005 - 2008 on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads).
I've mentioned those names couple times before on this board. But they deserve more attention..

And.. the band Pelican.

pelican kick ass, i'll check out the others

The Tea Party.

Also a great choice! I had a friend that was REALLY into them and gave me one of their CD's. Fantastic musicianship.

That's why I've heard the album allready

 

[hubbell1202]

King Crimson (damn, when i see how everybody is loving Opeth...how can you ignore one of the major influences?)

Islands... is my favorite... something about Ladies of the Road... that just moves me...

Keep em coming guys, I just got my Zune Pass the other day so I literally downloaded hundreds of albums thanks to this post

Katatonia. I think they're underrated because they aren't one of the biggest bands in metal. I will never understand why a band who writes such great, radio friendly tracks but yet is still really heavy and dark isn't a huge success over on this side of the pond. Seriously, I think it is a crime how unknown they are stateside. Hell, I think they've only done two tours over here, and I've seen them both times. And the crowds were small. Unbelievable to me.
