Underrated Bands/Musicians

[EvA]

I have become slightly obsessed with these guys, I feel like they are very underrated, they are fantastic musicians and manage to write a ton of feel into their crazy wonderful music (although I believe with obsession comes bias )

32. Celtic Frost were one of the bigger metal bands in the late 80s.




For the thread: Dial.

I'll go with Vandenberg. Typical early 80's hard rock, but really good.

Quite famous ones:

Deadlock



The Word Alive


Not so famous:

Marionette (Melodic Death Metal)



Dreamshade (Melodic Death Metal/Metalcore, one of the best 2013 releases IMO)



Dazzle Vision (J-Rock/Screamo, not their best songs out there on youtube, but anyway...)


The Color Morale (Melodic Metalcore, especially 2011 album)

It seems like no one really knows about this band which is one of my bigger influences on what I write. Kailash, from Italy, are THE experts of being technical and chill at the same time as being black metal and hardcore and jazz. Does that sound retarded? Probably, but listen to it and I guarantee it makes sense and sounds brilliant. There's even a great non-djent chill polyrhythm breakdown in this track. A chill breakdown you say? I dunno man, it just is. Sorry I couldn't find anything on youtube. But the writing is just so solid, and the drumming is insane.

Kailash - The Sleepers

This checks out.

^If you like that track, their other best song is called 'Token'. I dunno why they don't put it on youtube or even their bandcamp (yeah, their self titled first album is not even on their own bandcamp. I don't get it). The Sleepers and Token are actually their only songs that are not instrumental, and also the two best songs.

 

[Nlelith]

P!nk is awesome. No way she's underrated though.

 

[fortisursus]

Nerve End



These two are both new, but sooo amazing

Black Crown Initiate



Ovid's Withering

 

[12enoB]

This or the Apocalypse

I was listening to them just yesterday and I thought the same exact thing. Really talented and cool guys.

[Mr-Jemhead93]

Ovid's Withering

+1 on Ovdi yo

 

[ImNotAhab]

In terms of musicians i would argue Stef Carpenter is under rated. I feel he never gets the recognition he deserves.
