Metal Rec's Please

[duhpunk]

Looking for some metal and metalcore bands with good guitarists along the lines of Return From Exile, Children of Bodom, Between the Buried and Me, All That Remains, etc.

thanks in advance.

[Klatzke]

Scar Symmetry, for sure.
Bleed the Sky, maybe.
In Flames

Miseration, it's the lead vocalist of SS's second project. A bit harder.
This Or The Apocalypse, is metalcore, the guitarists are fantastic.
The new Misery Signals is growing on me, but it's not amazing.

And, on another note, Circus! Circus! is damn good. They're guitarists are gold, but it's more chaotic post-hardcore than metal.

i liked TOTA. the only one i haven't gotten to yet is Circus Circus.

i like the new Misery Signals alot. i saw them live about a year and a half ago, and they weren't bad, but were overshadowed by Between the Buried and Me, who played right afterward.

thanks so much for the Rec's. if you think of any more, please let me know.

I assume you've heard August Burns Red? If not, they've got some talent.

Letter To The Exiles are pretty good.

I'm not partial to them, but a lot of people dig Soulfly.

Inhale/Exhale

Life In Your Way has the whole melodic thing down pretty well.

haha yeah. ABR got old after a while. they are talented, but they overkill breakdowns. i'll check out the rest of them though.

[Klatzke]

I agree with that, I'm not a fan. Thats why i said "they're talented" haha.

[duhpunk]

bump.

[Nick Le]

oh, and the late.. Twelve Gauge Valentine

They're back together, kind of.

For stuff that's similar to All That Remains, check out Silent Civilian.

Also check out Wintersun, Norther, Protest the Hero and Parkway Drive.

[COREhorizon]

check new Haste the Day - amazing

and new The Red Shore - brutal as fuck

[Roboman]

Darkest Hour, Protest the Hero, Parkway Drive, Light This City, Arch Enemy, Dark Tranquillity, Killswitch Engage (I hope you already know them), 36 Crazyfists, Hell Within, Deadlock, The Black Dahlia Murder, Becoming the Archetype, Soilwork, Trivium, Devildriver, Bullet for My Valentine, Into Eternity, Nevermore. Some of those are more traditional, progressive, melodic death metal than metalcore, but whatevs. And they might not all fit into your definition of "good guitarists", but in my opinion, they all shred at some point.

check new Haste the Day - amazing


i'm gonna second the haste the day rec. dreamers is an amazing album.

[Klatzke]

Becoming the Archetype

[BenfoldsA'Five]

If you're going to check out Protest the Hero, start with Kezia, not Fortress. It's less accessible, but that's the point. Although it's a great album, Protest kind of diluted themselves on Fortress... plus, Kezia is a concept album (but so much more than that), so how much better can you get?

I agree that Kezia > Fortress. Fortress just bled together so bad.

With Blood Comes Cleansing dammit.

The Autumn Offering's first CD.

I also recommend Inhale Exhale and Life in Your Way.

There's some stuff here I've been meaning to check out. Not a big KSE or Parkway Drive fan.
But I like a few BFMV songs. Too bad their singer sucks.

I'll check out the rest when I can. Thanks.


And thanks to everyone else as well.

[Roboman]

Oh damn, I forgot to put God Forbid on that list.

[AmberDawn]

Necrophagist has good guitar, but a lot of people can't get past the vocals... they're a little cookie moster-ish.
