Over here we dont get any european metal but I like what ive heard.
I was wondering if you guys can tell me some wicked bands?

Ive listened to Children Of Bodom, Sonata Arctica, Stratovarius, HIM, some stuff like that

Textures. They're a great new (not "nu", really new) metal band

I like a lot of European Metal, but it's difficult for me to keep track...I have a friend who is OBSESSED with it, and every time I meet him, he's spouting off the names of a half dozen bands I've never heard him mention, and I've never heard of before...

That being said...I love In Flames!!! :)

Textures. They're a great new (not "nu", really new) metal band

Thanks, I will try and find some of theirs

Any others you guys can reccomend?

That being said...I love In Flames!!! :)
they r wicked, and its odd to hear an american into european music

Try some Arch Enemy. They're from Sweden :D
You'll probably be amazed to find, after listening to them, that their vocalist is a girl.

And then there's Lacuna Coil of Italy....I don't really see them as metal, but most call them that.

Oh, and let's not forget Germany! Of course you've heard Rammstein, but they have lots more...just visit www.herzeleid.com and look around, its a Rammstein site, but it has alot of links to other German bands.

Austria has Stahlhammer..

Enjoy! :)

*Edit* And then there's Britain's Cradle of Filth, but I don't like them.....I like my music to be faily audible.... :rolleyes:

Arch Enemy is awesome...and I love the vocals!

I'm also into Iced Earth currently, as I just recently picked up the 2 disc greatest hits, mainly to get tracks from CD's I can't find over here.

I got out of the metal scene about a year ago, but from what I remember, Dimmu Borgir is really good.

Whoa, and i'm expecting her to be covered in tatoos too and far more manly than me. But nope.

If a girl can "sing" like that, then so can I :p

dude, thats a prety scary thought.
but if u want to sound more like a chick i can kick u in an appropriate spot
*put on kicking boot*
hehe, putting on boot reminds me of when the simpsons went to australia

try getting hold of one of the 'Beauty in Darkness' cd's - there were at least 5 volumes out, last time I checked (don't buy cd's anymore, overpriced) - it's basically a European Metal compilation - some old bands, some new ones, some Goth, some Metal, some Industrial, nice combo. I thought it was pretty good.

Also try http://www.nuclearblast.com

cheers

Naw man, seriously.....have you heard her? It's crazy...not as good as Otep Shamaya...but we're talking eurometal at the moment ;)

Personally, I favour HIM (Finland, love metal), Apocalyptica (Finland, uhh... no idea what the genre would be -- metal I guess), Nightwish (Finland, gothic), Within Temptation (Holland, used to be gothic rock... now I'm not sure), Elis (Luxembourg, gothic), Womb of Maggots (Greece, nu, with some doom influences), Negura Bunget (Romania, black/doom), Iris (Romania, classic), Burzum (Norway, black), Cradle of Filth (UK, gothic/black), Crematory (Germany, heavy), Darkthrone (Norway, heavy) and Lacrimosa (Germany, gotic). In no particular order :)

Have you heard it? Go to www.archenemy.net and listen to the samples. :eek:

Nothing girly about it.

You can try... :D

Uh...maybe some other time :p

The ones of those ive heard of r wicked, Finish metal rocks, ive got to go to one of their concerts sometime
(btw, i think apocalyptica just goes in alternative metal, well their more recent albums)

Have you heard it? Go to www.archenemy.net and listen to the samples. :eek:


*clicks and types a bit*
*hums to self*
damn dial up, i really gotta get broadband

Also, if you don't mind crappy samples (hehe), the European metal tracking scene is pretty big (by which I mean, a bunch of really pissed off dudes record samples and write their music on computers). Check out the disks at http://www.trackedaggression.com/ (http://www.trackedaggression.com). I recommend tARANTULa's and CADAVER's songs -- those guys kick so much ass!

Oh, and the best part? All disks are free ;)

[edit]Rong speling.

Also, please note that not all TA artists are European -- only about 90% of them :)

*clicks and types a bit*

Yes. Yes you do. :p

Meshuggah, Entombed, Dismember, Nasum, Opeth, all of them are swedish bands.

heaps of you guys into wicked music have real low post numbers :confused:
except for kanabia, but then he just talks to anyone about anything
:p j/k

I normally just observe unless I find something I must talk about, that or I don't have the time to post... :(

We're too busy listening to metal, to post :P

[edit]
Also, I've just joined, AND am too busy being a total postwhore on other forums :D

It's pretty hard for a Finnish band to try anything else than metal nowadays.
Oh well. Beats pop anytime.

Amen to that |m|_

Guilty as charged :)

Ive listened to Children Of Bodom, Sonata Arctica, Stratovarius, HIM, some stuff like that

They're are all Finnish bands. If you'd like to try metal from other Euro countries, there's Ulver from Sweden. One of my own favourites, but I'm not really a metal fan.

It's pretty hard for a Finnish band to try anything else than metal nowadays.

Why is that?
forgive me, i know nothing about the country other than the music, altho i would love to learn

Some mentioned above: Opeth is good, just metal.
If you want some evil stuff I would recommend the following:
Amon Amarth(death/black), Dissection(black), Finntroll(can't categorize).
And for all your rock n roll needs: Zebulon(swedish) and Rollerball(australian, but still the shit)

Enjoy:)

Why is that?
forgive me, i know nothing about the country other than the music, altho i would love to learn

Once record companies realised that metal is the way to go, the music exports became a bit one-sided. There are lots of good bands like Tenhi that get less publicity because "louder" stuff sells well. That's a shame, really, since many metal fans who liked HIM and Sonata might find Tenhi cool as well.

Why is that?
forgive me, i know nothing about the country other than the music, altho i would love to learn
I'm guessing it's because a lot of really good bands hail from Finland, all of them metal bands. So, if you tell anyone, "Hey, did you hear about {insert band here}? They're from Finland." they're prone to ask "Oh? Are they a metal band?". *

I'm actually trying to think of a single Finnish non-metal band, but no names come to mind.


* I could be wrong, though. I'm not a Finn, so wtf do I know, right? :)

I love European metal but most of the bands I like have already been mentioned. Plus a few that I've never heard of

*subscribes to thread*...youre giving me ideas for some new cds to buy :)

And I know theyre not particularly metal....more prog...but are there any Ayreon fans in here?

U can also try a portuguese metal band called "MOONSPELL", u wont regret it...

Kind of like Sweden a few years back with all that bubbly pop?

Since nobody mentioned them yet, Blind Guardian from Germany is cool if you like melodic metal.

Kind of like Sweden a few years back with all that bubbly pop?

sorry, i loose a lot of respect for a country that produces someone like Aqua
*i think they were swedish*

i can tell u all about european metal if u want

but in private, so contact me if u wana know

sorry, i loose a lot of respect for a country that produces someone like Aqua
*i think they were swedish*

Correct and exactly who I was talking about ;)

Although the Cover of 'Barbie Girl' by Rammstein was awesome; As was Tsunami Bomb's cover...

sorry, i loose a lot of respect for a country that produces someone like Aqua
*i think they were swedish*

I forgive Sweden....they have produced some good metal too though, i.e. Arch Enemy

sorry, i loose a lot of respect for a country that produces someone like Aqua

GAH! no no no! BEEEP! WRONG, they were Danish... Otherwise I would flee this country...

GAH! no no no! BEEEP! WRONG, they were Danish... Otherwise I would flee this country...

What about ABBA?

'Barbie Girl' by Rammstein

It annoys me that over here (New Zealand) heaps of people say "I love european music" when the only song they know it Du Hast by Rammstein

What about ABBA?

Hehe....can't escape that one....

It annoys me that over here (New Zealand) heaps of people say "I love european music" when the only song they know it Du Hast by Rammstein

Yeah, it's the same here :rolleyes: No one can get past that song..

What about ABBA?

werent they swedens biggest export earner for a couple of years??
Mustve had a pretty crappy harvest :p

check out Opeth, Emperor, Thou shalt suffer.
insane norwegian metal

GAH! no no no! BEEEP! WRONG, they were Danish... Otherwise I would flee this country...

My mistake, the just seemed soo......swede..... ;)

What about ABBA?

Hehe, almost a valid point, but they produced quality music even though it was pop(Lets not get into their stageclothes though... enough to give the most die hard sci-fi fan nightmares for years), they're not even close to as horrible as aqua, the cartoons(also danish, atleast i think so) and such... but there are a few things we swedes ain't too proud of, Günter, Drömhus and a few dozen other barbieplaying lolitabands... we got the shit here too though, so it equals out in the end;)

My mistake, the just seemed soo......swede..... ;)

GAH! Much can be said about us swedes... but that we created the monster known as Aqua... no, that would send us straight to Haag for execution... It's only the danish that can get away with that, since they are allies to the US ;)

ABBA is Quality music? DIE!!!

But proportionally to Sweden's population, you guys do more than your fair share of great music. :D

Umm, I don't really know much about ABBA, but I would say that in the mid 70's they were the WORLDS best selling band... sadly;)
But then, compared to the crap music of today(britney and co, above mentioned Aqua, all chewing gum pop and girl/boybands) they were great... compare it to stonerrock and it blows though... everything is relative:D

Nah, no need to take blame for stupid countrymen(and women), not your fault man... If that was the case I would have to start every post with: "Please, please forgive us, we created Günter, we wrote many of britney spears songs, please have mercy!" but I don't ;)

Hah, you better!

One must point out Finntroll, from Finland. Folk-Metal.
The Scandinavian Metal rocks.

finland is a nice place??
they dont just produce heaps of wicked metal cos the country sucks??

Hah, you better!

Rollerball sounds like John Garcia singing but it's not as heavy as Kyuss. It's not bad.

EDIT- Zebulon are mad!!! That's like my ideal guitar sound. :D

La la la....I know, I know....we are supposed to be talking eurometal.....but I must bring up Otep....any thoughts? :)

finland is a nice place??

Beats me... I don't live there.
It's far, far north...

finland is a nice place??

Correct. The very reason there is so much Finnish metal is that we only get a couple of hours of sunlight a day in winter. In summer, there's so much light that it's difficult to get sleep, so sleep deprivated songwriters work around the clock and pass out from insomnia or booze. In rock festival season, the only way to get some sleep is to drink yourself unconscious. Waking hours spent in various states of hangover produce the unique sound of Scandinavian metal.

(This moves towards thread-hijacking, sorry) Kyuss are the grandfathers of stoner, Rollerball have made quite a few truly awsome tracks, their best album would be the latest if you ask me, named Oversize and the tracks that comes first to my mind are Bookend and Spray... as for the vocalist, I have no idea what his name is... They are more rock n roll and blues inspired though, still the shit;)

Perkele, don't forget the knife fighting and sauna ;)

No one a fan of otep? :(

Ive listened to Children Of Bodom, Sonata Arctica, Stratovarius, HIM, some stuff like that

Hehe, I love it how when people ask for European metal bands, they are replied with a bunch of Finnish bands :P

Yeah, the great metal comes from the north. Nightwish just rocks

Correction, Black Sabbath are the grandfathers of Stoner. Kyuss is the son that they should be especially proud of. :D

I can't get over how good Zebulon are though, especially the song "Funeral Trip". I'm going to have to buy their albums from ebay or something.

Hehe, I love it how when people ask for European metal bands, they are replied with a bunch of Finnish bands :P

Hehe, Finnish music rocks, one word: Kimmo Pohjonen - A mad pothead on an accordion playing industrial grunge, can't get much better:D

Well sure... the great metal does come from the north. And Germany, when they try really hard.

Hehe, I guess opinions differ here, Black Sabbath truly began the work but Kyuss would be the band that defined the genre, even if they didn't start it:)
Zebulon are really good, I have three of their albums, they all rock although I think Volume One from 2001 is their best peice.

EDIT: Maybe a stonerrock-thread would be of use? We're getting awfully off topic here;)

Hehe, Finnish music rocks, one word: Kimmo Pohjonen - A mad pothead on an accordion playing industrial grunge, can't get much better:D
Wow, that is so messed up that it's almost normal.
Hooray for wierdness!

Ever hear Japanese "Metal"? It is a little sad....it can't happen....it simply can't happen.

Ever hear Japanese "Metal"? It is a little sad....it can't happen....it simply can't happen.
They have the *best* band names ever though!
Like that band Flying Testicle.

Wow, that is so messed up that it's almost normal.
Hooray for wierdness!

I've seen him live once, truly wicked, best show I've ever seen... you can check out www.kimmopohjonen.com for more details;)

Yeah, true.

I'll definitely get it. Tracking it down is the hard part :p

EDIT: Maybe a stonerrock-thread would be of use? We're getting awfully off topic here;)

Go for it! We can educate people who have no idea what we're on about. :D

im really into Lacuna Coil and Nightwish, both real good euro metal bands, though they border on gothic metal, very good nonetheless check them out

They have the *best* band names ever though!
Like that band Flying Testicle.

What do you think is Japanese "metal"'s downfall? I think it is the language personally....

I've seen him live once, truly wicked, best show I've ever seen... you can check out www.kimmopohjonen.com for more details;)
Whoa...
This guy does things on accordion that I had never thought of anybody using an accordion for.
Wow.

What do you think is Japanese "metal"'s downfall? I think it is the language personally....

Instead of inane things like DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!, they have SHI DESU NE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think it's the language.

Any needs to talk about good stoner can be adressed there;)

Hehe, Finnish music rocks, one word: Kimmo Pohjonen - A mad pothead on an accordion playing industrial grunge, can't get much better:D

whoa.

Sweden produces lots and lots of music, of course some of it is going to be crap. Still, we produce a great deal of music that rocks. I think my favorite group here is Therion.

Other great groups of Europe are Rhapsody and Nightwish, and Within Temptation is pretty good too.

whoa.

better belive it, crazy good stuff :D

Over here we dont get any european metal but I like what ive heard.
I was wondering if you guys can tell me some wicked bands?
Finntroll! Danny Elfman influenced metal huumpa from hell of death:
http://finntroll.net/video/ft_th.avi

I also like Tristania - growling symphonic epic silliness:
http://www.tristania.com/

finally,a thread worth browsin over.
so Slums of Interest be situated in Land of New Zeal ey?groovy.one day mite hav to come visit your home,i think i got rely's over there someplace.
mandartia; it seems a lot of cool ppl originate frae Ohio.
mmm...music.rite now I'm listenin to Technical Ecstacy -name the group to prove how cool u r.
but hav any of u heard of:

Thin Lizzy (who I shall be witnessin on the 5th of Feb.)
UFO
Whitesnake
Tygers of Pan Tang
or even visited and posted on the www.endymion.tk message board?this group are pretty good altho the lead guitarist Marty has a tendancy to spunk over Iron Maiden too much and harbours a silly desire to cover more of their material while the singer Pete needs to grow a mullet and the bassist should be locked up for bein far too liberal with his plucking abilities apparently.4eyed,long haired hippy rocker that he is,he dont seem to realize that his kind are virtually non eggsistant in middle Blingland these days.indeed he is part of a dying race of hirsute beings better left unfed the food of love.

what about some stoner rock like erm, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, or Blob Dylan (Zimmerman)
or some crazy ravin sh!t like Guns n Roses who are just hilarious.incidently Velvet Revolver aint nowhere near as good (as GnR)
and i should be revisin for some russian language tests but dont really care.

hey,dont forget the Zutons who sound remarkably like the Rolling Stones, or Joe Satriani who is a foking awesome guitarist, and then there's ACDC,they're pretty funny altho they r aussie, and what about Gary Moore or the Datsuns -arent they homegrown New Land of Zeal'ers, Interesting Slums?
then there's erm Zed Leppelin who are bluddy amoizin' and then I hav to include www.Intraverse.co.uk(or .com,whichever) -they totally kick ass and piss all over Incubus from on high,and the chili peppers...

but hey,not all o' this is metal becoz I find that i can only listen to that in small doses without larfing.some of it is a bit sh!t you gotta admit.

oh,yeah,listen to Blue Oyster Cult (radio's appear,lol) and Montrose too.

www.endymion.tk -feel free to abuse band members on the massage board as much as you like,Marty could probably defeat you in any argument and together we play the best concoction of metal this side of the 1980s

I also encourage readers to play guitar whenever you get the hopportunity and advocate the burning of the U.S flag just becoz it brings some light relief to our day.hell,I'll even go as far as to say we should start a nukey war with Korea simply becoz democracy needs a red hot pok'er up the arse rite now.

finally,a thread worth browsin over.

New Zealand has no slums, hence the interest in them, i still cant figure out how a country can have a big population of people unable to afford to eat when the economy is relatively strong.
But its a great place to visit, nice people and lovely scenary. The train ride that goes past my house is rated one of the top 5 in the world
:D

Since nobody mentioned them yet, Blind Guardian from Germany is cool if you like melodic metal.

I especially recommend the songs "Mirror Mirror", "Welcome to Dying", and the entire "Imaginations from the Other Side" album. :)

Also, since it seems no one else has mentioned them, check out Gamma Ray, another awesome German band.

Same here, all we can get is that american rubbish, and rammstein.
Du Hast is a cool song, but after the 475th time u hear it u just wanna beat someone :headbang:
did you hear apparently the russian government said that the dudes who shot up the primary school were listening to rammstein and takin drugs.
so obviously that was what caused it, nothing to do with the chechen (sp?) atrocities :gundge:
