Melodic death/black/folk metal. Cool melodic metal with screamy black metal vox, black metal guitar feeling, but overall a melodic death thing going on.

An Ocean of Void
The Great Escape
Inverse
A bit of a proggy doomy metalcore, or just plain proggy hard rock… I guess you could call them “Post-Metal”  right?

Standing Ovation
Gravity Beats Nuclear
Inverse
Some pretty cool prog metal along the lines of a blind guardian/dream theater sound. A good heavier edge when it needs it and some good solid hard rockin’ prog and prog rocky stuff too.  Good diversity and I’m a fan.

MACHINÆ
Clockwork
Concorde Music Company
Prog metal / melodic death metal.  There’s a bit of a doom/goth feeling going on, so a little bit like Moonspell.  Cool stuff.

Psychedelic stoner and classic metal with female vox.  Pretty cool throwback type stuff.

OBSCURA
Akróasis (Single)

LAST IN LINE
Devil in Me Single
Frontiers Music srl
Well, Dio was great, no denying it. But his band was pretty darn good too. Lineup… “former DIO members Vinny Appice (drums), Jimmy Bain (bass) and Claude Schnell (keyboards), along with singer Andrew Freeman, who has previously fronted HURRICANE and LYNCH MOB. ” So you got a basic classic metal thing going on here. Cool stuff…. looking foreward to more!

Pantera
“Piss” / “Avoid The Light” (Singles)
Rhino
A couple tracks as “singles” to commemorate the Pantera “best of” type thing. “Piss” was a true lost track from Vulgar and “Avoid the Light” was from the Dracula 2000 soundtrack. As with any reissue or whatever, it’s usually a good excuse to spin it again.

Danzig
Skeletons
Nuclear Blast Entertainment
Why do long time established artists do covers albums? Well, I guess because they can… and, maybe some creative juices aren’t flowing? Well, doesn’t matter, because I’m a sucker for cover songs, and especially ones that are a “metal” band doing non-metal songs. So there are a few on here. Danzig is the “metal elvis” only appropriate that he covers an Elvis track. Production is a bit “meh” on this, but it’s good and raw and basic too. I’m not quite sure this album is for everyone, maybe for the TRUE Danzig fan.

Trans Siberian Orcherstra
Letters From The Labyrinth
Republic Records
Well, we all know who TSO are…and they now have a new non-christmas and non-concept album. It’s got some cool epic metal stuff going on, all in that TSO style you know. It’s pretty “accessible” so you aren’t going to get a lot of TRUE metal, but it’s good for a few songs on the Mosh Pit!

Adrenechrome
Tales From Adrenechrome
Self-Release
Thrashy, yet melodic metal

ABATUAR
VEJACIÓN DE LA BESTIA/FOSA COMÚN
Label: Dunkelheit Produktionen
Kind of a grindy blackened death metal. Wall of sound in your face, and yeah, brutal too!

Teach Your Soul With Fire
Vol. IV
Signal Rex
A decent compilation of some underground old school black metal.

WOWS
AION
Argonauta Records
Doomy post metal. mostly pretty depressing, which I guess is the point of this whole genre?

DESPITE EXILE
Disperse
Lifeforce
Brutal metalcore… I guess this is just called deathcore? Catchy chuggy riffs with good abrasive vocals… Good stuff!

Tales of the Tomb
Volume One: Morpras
Self-Release
Sort of a melodic death screamy thing. A brutal thrash type thing going on in this 3 song sampler.

WILT
Moving Monoliths
Bindrune Recordings
Some long classic black metal songs on this 4 song album.

Serocs
And When the Sky Was Opened
Comatose Music
Some good quality death metal with a cool groove and a bit of some techy death stuff going on too. thumbs up!

Whiskey Ritual
Blow With the Devil
Art of Propaganda
A raw punky black metal… I guess they’d be called “Black n Roll” Or like I said a punked up black metal.

Blackosh
Whores, Booze & Black Metal
Iron Bonehead
A dark heavy black metal. There’s maybe a little bit of a doom thing going on.

Resuscitation
Eviscerated Divinity 7″ EP
Iron Bonehead
Just two tracks, but some great blackened death metal.

Al-Namrood
Diaji Al Joor
Label: Shaytan Productions
This is basically folk metal, but aside from that it’s more of a middle eastern arab folk type sound while still being definitely metal.

ABYSMAL LORD
Disciples of the Inferno (CD, LP)
Hells Headbangers
Classic black metal with a bit of a thrash element.

Eucharist (Australia)
Demise Rites 12″ MLP
Iron Bonehead
Two really long tracks of drony black metal. meh.

Zgard
Totem
Svarga Music
Some decent brutal black metal with a pinch of folk metal here and there. Overall pretty meat and potatoes black metal (the good production kind)

The Tumor Called Marla
Trance
Imminence Records
Interesting band name… then I heard it… electronic modern metalcore. Pretty brutal in parts, but the electronic and emo-ish singing probably knock it down a bit for us.

Battle Path
Ambedo
Label: Inherent Records
Atmospheric doomy post-metal type stuff.

Zierler
ESC
Vanity Music Group
When a band hits the inbox and says “progressive metal” it hits me in this little spot of hope… hoping it’s good stuff… and yes, this is! Some great proggy stuff, heavy stuff, melodic stuff… really a great array of what’s prog! Clean and growly vox, good “out there” melodic runs and yeah. PROG METAL!

DARK SYMPHONICA
Immersion
Label: Self-Released
Usually I see “Symphonic Metal” as a genre, I think it’s just going to be some euro Rhapsody type band. Upon first spin of this, it’s more of a heavier Epica type thing. Heavier music, but operatic female vocals without that “epica growl” however, the music is cool and prog/power metal heavy enough to make it cool.

CHASTAIN
We Bleed Metal
Leviathan Records
Cranking out new metal albums every couple years, Chastain is back again and Leather Leone is back showing how female fronted metal is done! Good classic heavy metal stuff!

Lefutray
Oath
Sick Bangers
A deathy groove metal.

FUNERAL MARMOORI
The Deer Woman
Minotauro Records
Just a heavier doom type thing. There’s actually a groove and a throwback stoner metal feel.

Arreat Summit
Frostburn
World Vs Cometh
Swedish deathcore. So yeah, you got that cool melodic death thing going on but with that “core” thing Just a couple songs, but they’re good and brutal!

Third Storm
Taritiya Me
Dark Descent records
Two long songs of doomy black metal.

FLUISTERAARS
Dromers
Eisenwald
Another in the “long song” department, however this is a more melodic black/doom metal thing. Not quite so drony and a bit more classic melodic black metal (with decent production!)

Metal Blade Records
Just a brutal metal release.  It’s almost death metal, too heavy to just be thrash… Just good ol brutal metal… and great stuff too.

Melodic epic fe-metal type stuff.  Some tracks get into some cool heavier metal stuff… but a lot of operattic female singy stuff.

IN DEATH WE ROT
REDEFINING DARKNESS RECORDS
DEATH METAL
Classic death metal with some melodic death stuff going on.  Vocals are pretty harsh and just overall brutal.

Irond/Molot
Thrashy death metal.  Good brutal feel but with that classic heavy thrash driving things through.

SECOND TO SUN
The First Chapter
Self Released
Technical metalcore type stuff… all instrumental, so it also flows into a prog metal category for me too.  cool stuff.

Steak Number Eight
Kosmokoma

To me, the music is a bit prog metal, as it is progressive and kinda all over the place, but a bit in that “experimental” metal area too.  And a bit metalcore.

Anomalie
Refugium
Art of Propaganda
Kind of melodic death/doom thing with black metal undertones.

EPHYRA
Along The Path
Bakerteam Records
Melodic death/folk metal.  Some growly vox, some screamy stuff and some clean sung female vox too.  Catchy and definitely has that stringy folk element going on too.

WAILIN STORMS
One Foot In The Flesh Grave
Magic Bullet Records
A bit doomy, and actually the closest thing I can compart this to is Danzig… even vocally.

Darkest Era
Gods and Origins
Cruz Del Sur Music
basically a prog metal thrashy thing.  Cool stuff… Track one is pretty heavy and catchy… track two is a bit more of a power ballad-ey type thing.

PUNCHING MOSES
Humanity Pandemic
Seeing Red Records
Kind of a punky hardcore… still metal, just has a punky influence.

ESCARNIUM

Redefining Darkness Records
Good blackened death metal.

Otargos
Xeno Kaos

More good blackened death metal with some melodic stuff going on too.

Atomic Symphony
Redemption

Female fronted prog metal.  Kind of your basic power metal with some proggy metal interludes… The vocals are good, but just don’t seem to have an edge.

SACRILEGE
Behind The Realms of Madness (Reissue)
Relapse Records
Reissue of the 1985 album.  And you want female vox with an edge, here you go!   Old school thrash

2 songs of some classic old school black metal with a good melodic groove… vocals are harsh, but the music reminds me a bit of Satyricon.

Mindset X
Oceans
(indie)
Some catchy rock n roll.  Not really for the mosh pit, but if you’re looking for some good new rock check this out.

BEDOWYN
Blood Of The Fall
Self Released
I guess I could call this melodic death… but it’s not really all that deathy… more like just good melodic heavier metal type stuff.  I guess as I delve deeper, there’s some harsher stuff in here… but it’s more on the melodic side than death side.

Blood of the Wolf
I: The Law of Retaliation
Self Released
Brutal death metal… no letting up on this one.

Our Souls Evolve
Self:Consciousness
Famined Records
A deathcore thing happening here.  Catchy, brutal and a bit djenty too.

Post-metalcore… mallcore singy emo modern metal stuff.  Hot Topic’s top something of whatever… So yeah, heavy, then whiney vox then no thanks.

Shallow Ground
Embrace The Fury
Killer Metal
Heavy modern thrash with Agnostic Front-like vocals… a bit of a hardcore feel going on too.
