Hey guys, new here to the forum. need yall to catch me up! over the years i've grown away from metal, listening to a variety of trance and alternative ( though i still like my occasional classical/orchestra! ). Here are some bands that i use to heavily listen to back in high school: Extol, Sletchvalk, Nodes of Ranvier, Renascent, Vokavandarine, Holy Blood, Clemency. In case you guys don't recognize those bands, my genres of choice are: black metal ( progressive black metal even further ), metalcore, and rarely some death metal. i don't usually like mainstream ( examples: cradle of filth, mastadon, er, uh, god it's been so long i can't even think of other mainstream metal bands ). note: i did not list slipknot in the mainstream category because i don't listen to hard rock. so, without overwhelming me what are some bands and possiblely song titles that i can check out. my main genre is black metal, so lets start with that. ( and if YOU listen to these three songs you'll get a quick n dirty idea of my preference: Extol - Burial / Renascent - Son of God / Sletchvalk - Inparidisum, could be wrong on spelling here, been a while ). thanks guys, already very happy i found a group of people who like metal stouts and gaming.

I may have missed you but... We have the exact same taste in music. Well done

Im liking Apostasy, Kat you know some damn good metal. Also I get a Manson vibe from Motionless in White, kinda glam/ punk style. 

Thanks i'll check these out in a day or two ( always so busy during the week, eek ).

Panopticon - One Cold Night - wasn't feelin it, Ihsahn - Frozen Lakes on Mars - can't get it to playbon my phone, Motionless in White - A.M.E.R.I.C.A. - pretty good, not entirely my forte but was a nice listen, Apostasy - Sulphur Injection - diggin it, will check out more of their songs when i have time, Mirrorthrone - The Fecal Rebellion - also cannot get it to play on my phone.

i realized that was a bad example for slechtvalk, since it's a more melodic song. if you're up for it, check out slechtvalk - enthroned, or/also the falcon's flight ( it's an instrumental ). i particularly remember liking some black metal from norway, just can't for the life of me remember the bands.

also please note, in high school i was pretty religious so the stuff i listened to was either christian black metal, or middle ground ( such as extol and slechtvalk ). however i am far from that scene, so don't worry on what you link, just putting it out there if you got confused by the trend. ( also sorry for the lack of links, operating quickly on my windows phone isn't as intuitive as i'd like )

aaah yes, some more bands coming back to me. sympathy, crimson moonlight.

Just stumbled on Before The Dawn and Swallow The Sun. Check em out if you like Insomnium 

Here's some stuff i've been listening to as of late, some of these are progressive and atmospheric if anyone is looking for some Black Metal =]

 

The first and last are both pretty good. I gotta say though "Groping in a Misty Spread" sounds very VERY dirty. 

Also you should change your avatar to look like the cat is wearing corpse paint lol.

Here are some really good bands:

I also like anything from Iced Earth

Looking to expand my black metal horizons, although I dislike having lyrics that I cannot understand. Anyone have any recommendations? I'm looking for a sound similar to Carach Angren's vocals. 

If you haven't heard this, please do!

The last four bands I have listened to are Iron Maiden, Mastodon, Symphony X, and Megadeth. (All links lead to YouTube videos). For Viking metal check out Amon Amarth. System Of A Down is pretty good as well.

I'm a bit of a thrash nerd.  I declare this thread is in need of more thrash.  If you find yourself liking any of this and want more info on any of the bands or the sub-genre as a whole, shoot me a message. I love discussing older bands with folks:

Let the thrash begin!!!!!
