Post by: _Atticus on September 24, 2003, 06:31:18 pm: Well if you like that then I recommend Iced Earth and Opeth.

Post by: Izzy*dot on September 24, 2003, 06:39:03 pm: Thx Kel and atticus :D
The site of the Large sure has LOADS of groups :D I\'m fine for the next couple of weeks :D

EDIT: I ment weeks instead of months, i seem to have listened to 30 groups already... :]

Post by: Xalthar on September 24, 2003, 10:59:37 pm: last I checked Children of Bodom were Melodic Black/death metal, and Iced were melodic thrash/heavy metal.......

Post by: _Atticus on September 24, 2003, 11:50:03 pm: Don\'t be a smart ass although you are right, Xalthar :D . But what does matter is that those bands are good enough to be recommend to Izzy.

Post by: Moogie on September 25, 2003, 02:44:32 am: I love Nightwish/Within Temptation. Their music is haunting, melodious, but emotional and powerful... and gothic of course, what more could I ask for? :D

I can\'t suggest any other gothic metal bands because my music interest is fairly limited. However, if you\'re willing to check out my all-time favourite band EVER, go ahead- it\'s Nine Inch Nails.

Favourite NiN tracks:

The Great Below - Slow, emotional lyrics, depressive.
Heresy - Strong beat and music, powerful lyrics, angry.
The Perfect Drug - Fast paced and trippy, happy in a very weird way.
Closer - Raw (adult) lyrics, regular beat, sometimes angry.
March of the Pigs - Just weird. Fast paced, shouted lyrics, but dies suddenly a couple of times into an innocent little piano tune and happy words.

I am crazy about Nightwish though, Kudos to Moogie for getting me into it. ;)

I\'ve been looking for more like them, maybe I\'ll try some o\' those ones there. *points at the caviar*

Heh, actually my Music list goes about like this:

1. Nightwish
2. Linkin Park
3. Rush
4. Coldplay
5. NiN
6. Our Lady Peace
7. KaZaA :P

That is my entire music history right there.

Maybe I\'ll try some diff Goth Rock ones and get some new favourites. :D

Post by: Izzy*dot on September 25, 2003, 07:18:16 am: Thx:))

You should definately try out After Forever. It\'s a dutch Gothic Metal band, i went to a concert not that long ago, and they are ----*WOW*---- :D

BTW jedi, Kazaa in your music list???? :D:D:D I think i\'ll have to add it too then... :D

NiN is nice, they have various songs, from calm songs to verrrrry brutal ones...like it :))

Post by: Xalthar on September 25, 2003, 04:14:29 pm: Bah, it\'s all more or less sissy music... :P

And I like being a smartass when it comes to genres.. :]

Death metal is the one and only genre that has it all.. melody, brutality, guitar-solo\'s-that-make-you-drool, and drums! oh the drums!! :P

*drifts away, listening to Finntroll and In Flames*

Well i wouldn\'t say that it\'s the one and only genre, but agreed, it is also a good genre :D
I like most of the metal genres actually :))

Post by: Arzosah on September 25, 2003, 07:18:20 pm: Well, I have to admit, both Gothic and Metal have their good points, and I like the combination of the 2 very much :D
But there are many kinds of music I like :]

Btw: Beat you to it, Izzy*dot: I became an ASS first ;) (Not that it matters, it\'s quality, not quantity! :D)

Post by: lostprophet on September 25, 2003, 07:42:47 pm: Wow, I really need to widen my horizons, the only one of those bands that rung a bell was nine inch nails.

Post by: seperot on September 25, 2003, 08:03:29 pm: i say why change im happy with the few bands i like and cannot be swayed to otheres very easy

Post by: Xalthar on September 25, 2003, 09:28:08 pm: *dodges shotgun shells Caldazar style* :P

Death is my favourite genre, but I also like gothic and True..

But if you want quality metal that will blow your mind, check out the swedish market...!

The swedes are the true masters of metal! ;)

STEEL!

Post by: Izzy*dot on September 26, 2003, 11:55:34 pm: Aye that\'s another true fact, Swedish metal ROXX... have you ever heard of Vintersorg? They are good. Tristania is also Swedish I think...or Finnish...
Title:
Post by: Tepsu on September 27, 2003, 12:14:07 am: Tristania is from Norway.

Vintersorg?? that\'s one of my favourite bands!! I love their texts, plus I sing them pretty well since they are almost in my native language (I do speak swedish sometimes :P)

Great band!!

Yeah, I know a little Tristania.. Tepsu showed me some of their music..

[Edit] I\'m pretty sure Rob is Heavy.. so in a way he fits under this discussion, since it\'s drifted somewhat away from gothic :P [/edit]
Title:
Post by: Izzy*dot on September 27, 2003, 10:37:02 am: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Not singing :D *totally closes his ears* na na nanaaaa i can\'t hear you!!! :D

And yes maybe Tristania is from Norway, but what really matters is that they make REAL good music :D
Title:
Post by: Xalthar on September 27, 2003, 11:38:47 am: Ebony Tears was also a brilliant swedish band..! You should check them out...

Heh, well being in an amateur band that plays death metal sometimes involves singing, especially when you\'re the frontman :rolleyes: :P
Title:
Post by: Izzy*dot on September 27, 2003, 12:20:36 pm: O...Now I got it :D Matey you should get some of yer music online so that I can listen to it and tell you it\'s REAL good :D:D Well...Do you sing or do you scream? :P

WOW Ebony Tears sounds...sounds...WOW :D
Title:
Post by: Xalthar on September 27, 2003, 03:03:49 pm: I told you they were good ;) Especially \"Nectars of Eden\" and \"Opacity\"

Well, we haven\'t recorded anything (hence the amateur labeling) :P So I can\'t get it online... But my vocal is \"death\" (screaming as you put it :P), I compare it mostly to Anders\' vocals (frontman in In Flames), and to a melodic, slightly lighter voice than Vintersorg..

As for all you other people, mainly interested in gothic bands, check out:
\"The Wounded\", \"Imperia\", \"To Elysium\" and \"Shadows Dance\"

The number of superb Swedish metal bands, is simply breathtaking...! :D
Title:
Post by: Izzy*dot on September 28, 2003, 12:13:49 am: I like \"A handful of nothing\", the title reminds me of myself in the earlier days :))

About your group, I would like it if you would keep me informed about it :D I can get you a big group of listeners here in Belgium :] As you describe it, it will be GOOD, but I\'ll have to hear it first.

\'To Elysium\' sounds cool :D
Title:
Post by: Xalthar on September 28, 2003, 01:18:05 am: Well, when I move to Aalborg in a year (or two :P) I\'ll probably get a lot more time to sing.. So perhaps it\'ll get more serious then.. but for now, it\'s nothing special.. So let\'s wait and see ;)
Title:
Post by: Izzy*dot on September 28, 2003, 11:52:17 am: 2 YEARS!!

Well I can be patient :D:D Just keep me informed then when something happened :D I know a producer here who maybe is interested to invest in a metal-band...If ya want to... :D
Title:
Post by: Xalthar on September 28, 2003, 11:56:42 am: Sounds cool! :D But I\'ve still got 2 years, or so, before I can move, so our seriousness has lots of time to improve.. ;)
