Anybody know of any metal bands that have a futuristic or outer space theme going on?
I enjoy a lot of power metal, and my favorite band, Iron Savior has this kind of theme. Would like to find more bands like this. I use music as a creativity catalyst while I write stories and I like to keep the music the same genre/theme as what I am writing. I love Iron Savior but I have beaten them to death so any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
if you want that "Spacy" Sound listen to Animatronic and S.E.T.I. albums those have that space orientated sound i think you are looking for. however Nexus Polaris "which is their best album" it has the space orientated sound but its probably safe to say its closer to Symphonic Black metal.
Rings of Saturn is ya band! The genre is Technical Deathcore, but when I listened to them the deathcore part wasn't over the top or specifically noticable actually. Quite melodic too! Also contains the diverse vocals that all other metal lacks when it comes to screaming
Thanks guys I appreciate the suggestions. Berserker, dat website, thank you! Im going through the list on there and starting to find bands more my taste. Thanks dude.
listen to all three albums in the Archeron trilogy in their proper order and listen to the song that Sovereign suggested. The names of those three are Conqueror, Andromeda (single), Empyrean, Cepheus(single), and Xenon, they have another album coming out new years day 2015, its name is Archeron. great band overall keep those suggestions coming as I am looking for new space themed metal!
Check out Star One. It's a supper group lead by Arjen Anthony Lucassen.
They have a couple really good concept albums. You said you liked power metal, you should feel at home with this band-- they have a host of wonderful vocalists from power metal backgrounds. They also have Dan Swanö (one of my favorite musician evar) for the meatier, heavier stuff.
And dat synth man, that fucking synth on the Victims of the Modern Age album.
