I could listen to Orion all day long, easy. But Anesthesia is also high up there, of course I'm a bass player, so that makes me bias.

Have to agree with Scott on this one, love Orion and Anesthesia.

I'm going odd man out here and say, To Live is to Die.

[Oheao]

Can any one here recommend me some good death/black metal bands?

For the Metallica fans out there:

What is your favorite Metallica instrumental song?

-(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth (Kill 'Em All)
-Call of the Ktulu (Ride the Lightning)
-Orion (Master of Puppets)
-To Live Is To Die (...And Justice For All)
-Ecstasy of Gold (S & M)

Orion from Master of Puppets is my favorite. Such freaking awesome riffs and solos through-out that masterpiece of a song!

But all of them are fan-freaking-tastic! \m/

Out of those choices - for me, actually...it's pretty easily & definitely Call of Cthulu!

I do not know a whole lot about the genre, but here are a few I like:

Disembowelment (DeathDoom)

Death

Summoning (Atmospheric Black Metal)

Agalloch (Atmospheric Black Metal)

Thanks! I listen to Death, but not the other 3.

Nothing wrong with that choice. Fantastic song!



I am so freaking infatuated with this band:



I just can't get enough of them. I have the first 3 albums with Christian Alvestem as the lead singer, and they are metal perfected. The last couple of albums, after the first lead-singer left, not so much though. They just aren't the same band anymore.

But I'm posting this to see if anyone that is familiar with the band, can give me some other suggestions on similar stuff. I've listened the hell out of the first 3 albums and I want more, and those last 2 albums aren't cutting the mustard.

So if anyone can give some great suggestions similar to Scar Symmetry, it would be much appreciated.

Quick question.  Does anybody know anything about a band named Noumena.  A Melodic Death Metal band from Finland.  I have been trying to get a hold of their album Absence.  Needless to say it isn't going well.

Here's song to pass along to see if anybody else may be interested in them.

Did you try contacting the band directly?

Did anyone see Metallica Through the Never?  I wanted to go to the IMAX and enjoy it, but it just didn't work out.

I can't imagine how pretentious a Metallica movie would be at this point in their career. Count me out.

I did actually.  Have yet to get a reply.  I have been doing some digging around since then though and it comes to find out. It's out of print, since their contract through Spinefarm Records ended.  The only copy I seen was on Ebay for $250ish.

They actually created their own label (Haunted Zoo Production) and if all goes well with their newest album Death Walks With Me they will re-release their other albums.  Here's to hoping.

If its an old label, you might be able to get it through the band, their manager, or even the old label. If it was a current label, I would not advise going to the band first.
