I have spent a lot of time in Omaha! I find Collin Klein not that weird! But sometimes I like to listen to metal bands to get pumped up and listen to their crazy musical abilities! 2 similarities and only 1 difference!

Well yeah. You can't metal all the time. But you can't chill all the time either. You hit the weight room jamming to Paul Simon? Well whatever works for you, that's what I always say.

NEKROGOBLIKON

Hadn't heard of them until I saw the No One Survives video a week or so ago. Mostly not up my alley but that song is pretty cool and the video is ridiculous.


Listen to any Strapping Young Lad? All of Devin Townsend's stuff is pretty good but Strapping was his heavier band. The albums City and Alien, specifically. He actually produced a couple of Lamb of God's albums, too.

I don't listen to a ton of new age metal, but someone on ksufans turned me onto Mastodon when Crack the Skye came out and I love that and The Hunter.

The Chariot is probably my favorite metal band. But Norma Jean has put out a lot more albums that have all been top notch.

Torn The eff Apart is a band from the KC area that plays the new age, we wanna be badasses junk you like MoCat.  Nothing groundbreaking but at least its heavy and you might find them live if you are from that area.

For something with a little more meat on the bone you could listen to some Hellwell.  It's more eclectic and some decent Doom Metal from Mark Shelton of Manilla Road, who used to be from Wichita.

Goatwhore is a damn good American band as is Averse Sefira if you are man enough to take it.  Europe is the place to find some really great Black Metal though.

Yeah I think "metal" is being applied to two vastly different musical genres here.

I'm in to more progressive metal, you know, key/tempo changes, absurd time signatures, guitar harmonies, catchy melodies, etc
Basically, listen to "Faust" by Human Abstract

you are describing more like sludgy type death/black metal. not really my thing

I don't like to judge bands based on their name. But I feel pretty comfortable judging most of these.

Don't lump my bands in with those other weird ones.
I like these ones:

Between the Buried and Me:
Quote
The band's name is derived from a section of lyrics in the Counting Crows song, "Ghost Train;" "Took the cannonball down to the ocean/Across the desert from the sea to shining sea/I rode a ladder that climbed across the nation/Fifty million feet of earth between the buried and me."

The Human Abstract:
Quote
The group's name was derived from the title of a William Blake poem published in Songs of Experience in 1794.

Trivium:
Quote
In medieval universities, the trivium comprised the three subjects that were taught first: grammar, logic, and rhetoric. The word is a Latin term meaning "the three ways" or "the three roads" forming the foundation of a medieval liberal arts education.
