i'm going to check out equilibrium- that sounds cool
on the folk metal front early opeth- particularly the still life album is a must, its a concept album, and it works best as a whole but i'll youtube my favourite song off it
Gojira are not that melodic but they can never be mentioned enough- they've done a good variety of death metal genres, and have some really innovative riffs, here is the song that first got me into them, its literally unbelievable
if i go on i'lll probably dilute the message of early opeth/gojira. Whilst there are a few other bands that really innovated the death metal genre, there are no other bands, not even death, morbid angel or suffocation that i would compare them with
Opeth is progressive metal. Calling them like that isn't wrongThey have some folk-sounding stuff, they have melodies, and they have death metal... so I mean, in a vague way, you could call them those things, but it wouldn't be accurate. Calling Opeth anything but Opeth is wrong, in my opinion, haha

No, they are Opeth.
A bunch of dumb ass shit
I like to think of them as "Akercocke without massive balls"

Now i remember why you got banned on some other sites. Here, why don't we just give you a couple of manowar discs, and you can go die for metal with Joey DeMaio.![]()
Name bands that sound like Opeth. They're incredibly unique in what they do and how they do it.
Akercoke without massive balls but with a much bigger brain, better chops, and more versatility. Opeth is art, they could be fucking eunuchs and still be amazing.
If you're so perplexed and awed by massive balls, that's kind of weird. Sorry, but we get it. Akerwhatever is heavier and more ballzy. We know. But that doesn't mean their better, or even comparable. The last thing fans of great music should do is argue about bands, and I'd expect a lot more from a forum moderator. >:O
So please chill.
I'm also looking for power metal bands with cooler riffs than the normal powerchord and lead stuff. Like Symphony X; Mike Romeo has some killer riffs, a lot of them are really hard to play. :/
EDIT: Alley is actually decent. But not as good as Opeth ^_^.
"Only strong personalities can endure history, the weak ones are extinguished by it." You're not true. Why bother complain than just come to terms that you are no better than those listening to Britney Spears or whatever you kids are into these days. If everything is just merely an opinion, than everything is metal. By making it everything, it is also nothing, for it lacks attributes. Your logic is flawed.Typically, metalheads who claim elitism on the basis of not understanding the difference between an opinion and a fact are a laughing stalk amongst people who don't share the same problem. You have an opinion, not "the truth", when talking about what is good metal and what isn't. Its music, man - chill out. So what if some young kids just got into metal and think that At The Gates is awesome because they heard 'Slaughter of the Soul.' Who the fuck cares? If it matters to you, you need to either get help or pick up a hobby. I've been listening to metal for a long time and 'Slaughter of the Soul' is one of my favorite albums. I dare you to call me a "noob" or whatever else it is you'd use to belittle somebody with your false sense of superiority. Although music means a lot to me, its a personal thing, not fucking politics.
Heh, banned from the metal forum that thinks nu metal and metalcore is metal, yet despises the real metal, and those that shed light on the truth. Very representative of our society as a whole. We gladly exclude such people.Now i remember why you got banned on some other sites. Here, why don't we just give you a couple of manowar discs, and you can go die for metal with Joey DeMaio.![]()
