Was talking to a French guy today and he put me on to this brilliant band

Christ how has no one mentioned Mechina?!?!?!?

industrial, symphonic, sci-fi, death metal

Mechina - To coexist is to surrender

Mechina - Elephtheria

Mechina - Vanquisher

Their other albums are sick as. Amongst the community "Empyrean" is the reigning masterpiece with "Acheron" in close second.

they also have some pretty fantastic symphonic tracks with an awe inspiring female vocalist.

I'll start with my favorite band:

And how about some technical death metal:

Some pagan black metal:

nemelendelle · June 22, 2015, 5:24pm

@Logan you might dig this:

First two are Technical Death Metal, the rest is Black Metal.

Love to see that so many have explored black metal, especially the more melodic bands. Though I see no Ulver...

If that's too black for your taste, you might like Agalloch lovely folkish atmopshericy rock/black metal. The Mantle is their absolute best album IMO, a wonderful mix of soft melodies, a darkened atmosphere and elements of folk music. Great band.

As I've been exploring atmospheric black metal myself I've bumped into a lot of folky BM bands. I'm not a big fan of folk metal per se, but these guys really caught my attention. So if you're a fan of black metal and folk you'll probably like these guys.

Another band that caught my attention as I've been exploring the wonderful genre of atmospheric black is Midnight Odyssey. They mix mellowness of keyboards with the harshness of distorted guitars and end up with a hypnotisingly calm melody. Wonderful band.

Second vote for Saor. They are amazing.

Alamar · June 23, 2015, 5:11am

As usual I need to shill some more thrash metal :D

kiipa · June 23, 2015, 10:59am

I've always thought thrash isn't 'heavy' enough, the tempo doesn't work with the (relatively) bright vocals and melody. But your thrash reminded me of Aeon. Swedish death metal, sometimes on the brink to technical death.

nemelendelle · June 23, 2015, 11:08am

Ohhh yess Ulver is great, even though I like their electronic era more tbh. Agalloch is godly, but their latest album was like meh for me.

Kat · June 24, 2015, 4:08pm

Gotta keep my eye open in the next 2 weeks
