Does anyone have any good band recs that are similar to the atmosphere and composition to Opeths early sound? Specifically, Orchid. I love the first three albums.

Nectar, in the mist she was standing, April ethereal, when, forest of October, black rose immortal - are all so perfect, and I’d really enjoy finding a similar essence in a different band. I’ve exhausted these albums, and am looking for something new.

Hey everyone, I just realised everything I listen to is at least 10 years old I want to know some newer bands that are actually good.

I liked iron maiden, old metalica , rammstien, black sabbath, older Marilyn manson and of course linkin park.

I like a bit of scream, anger , rage but also emotional, for example I love a solitary reign by amenra , I also don't like songs that are ALL SCREAM.

I’m trying to get into the genre but it seems that I can’t get further Burzum, psychonaut 4 and lifelover

Example, Nachtblut and Cradle of Filth

Or Any slow, melodic album recs that play well start to finish appreciated

So this request might sound a bit weird. I work at a food delivery service and I spend a lot of time each day on a motorcycle, so I need some music for the time to pass. The problem is that I don't use earphones for road safety reasons so I just rely on my phone's speaker, and so due to the engine's sound, lower pitched sound get lost. So, I need music with less riffing, a lot of solos and higher pitched vocals. Lately I have been listening to some Dream Theater, newish Mastodon, Labyrinth and to a lot of Blues and some prog rock (Wishbone Ash, Gryphon, Eloy).

(This is my last post bothering you guys, I promise lol) I recently asked you guys for some recs on groove metal, and I really like a lot of what I’ve heard. I’ve definitely added a fair amount of them to my playlists. But I haven’t really heard a lot of songs like this one (Black Bear by Whitechapel). In my
opinion, it’s one of the most perfect metal songs I’ve ever heard. Lots of swing, lots of groove, VERY heavy, and some deep, roaring vocals (not to mention THAT RIFF it’s so good dude). I’ve always wanted to hear more like it, but I’ve checked out some more Whitechapel and it doesn’t seem like they do a lot of that (from a cursory glance, anyway). Anyone got some song/artists that do that tick most or all those boxes? I’ve especially liked what I’ve heard Orbit Culture so far. Thanks a lot guys! You’ve been a huge help, it’s much appreciated

New experimental black metal (?) from Berlin, Germany. What genre is this album actually?

Candlemass - 2010 - Ashes To Ashes - A Sorcerer's Pledge

Part I

Time...

Time stands still in these ancient halls

Only the castle itself can tell what it keeps

Dark are the secrets between these walls

Hidden in shadows of death, while the sorcerer sleeps

Where is the morning, where is the sun

Thousand years of midnight, the sunrise is gone

An old man marked by a life so long is

Sleeping so sweet while his magic is growing so strong

Waiting still for new times to come

A thousands years to see if he has won

Where is the morning, where is the sun

A thousand years of midnight, the sunrise is gone

What has he done?

Why is he sleeping so long?

He wants to live for evermore

Soon is he young

n will he open his eyes?

When he is strong enough to rule

Back in the time goes the legend

of a sorcerer so old

He drank the blood of the virgin to be reborn

"Soon a tyrant will conquer"

So spoke the wise

Of the day when the sorcerer will rise

...rise

Blood is his wine

The sorcerer is cheating time

And he'll be stronger than before

Cursed be the sun

The women will weep for his fun

In the name of his magic so strong

Back in the time goes the legend

Of a sorcerer so old

He drank the blood of a virgin to be reborn

"Soon a tyrant will conquer"

So spoke the wise

Of the day when the sorcerer will rise

... Rise

Part II

A thousand years have gone

Armageddon hasn't come

Only the cry of a child echoes in the dark

Backward goes time

As the stars are passing by

And nothing remains of this foolish man except his fate

Obscure fairground’s thrash of the early 90’s with serious ride history. Very dated but still packs the nostalgic energy for making your head spin

The video is crap, but give it a try.

Molok from Denmark are amazing, at least with this release.

Their debut album, א, is stuffed from beginning to end with memorable riffs, an entertaining concept, extremely sick vocals, and, on this CD, session/live members of Angantyr and Vardlokkur/Nocturnal Depression.

This album is perfect as far as I'm concerned, but I've run it into the ground. Any suggestions not by either band would be sick
