Pavement- Slanted and Enchanted.

I normally don't dig Indy Rock, but this band was pretty good.

Mine too

Immolation- Kingdom of Conspiracy

After that Incantation- Diabolical Conquest

Sentenced- Shadows of the Past then North From Here.

I'll get back to you on that.

Sentenced- Amok

Gates of Ishtar- At Dusk and Forever

Thrashy Melodeth is good Melodeth.

Death, Prog, Thrash.

Anything fast really.  Probably why Ive never been able to get into Doom.  Too slow and ponderous.

Though I guess Black Sabbath were the originators of the sub genre, and Master of Reality is one of the best collections of music I've ever listened to.

Atheist- Unquestionable Presence

Sacrilege- The Fifth Season

I'm starting to think that our benevolent moderator Blut was onto something with his suggestion that Melodic death metal went from being an actual sub subgenre of Death Metal into being power metal with harsh vocals and blast beats.

I think that is an awesome amalgamation though.

By the way Sacrilege was a better band than In Flames by far.  It seems kind of sill that Daniel Svenssen would break up a great band just to play drums for the most overrated metal band of the last 20 years.

B. Does your dog shit?

C. Does your neighbor have a lawn for your hypothetical dog that shits, to shit on?

The Haunted- The Haunted

The Haunted is a lame band.  They seem to have taken all the worst tendencies of Melodeth and Pantera style Groove metal and combined them into one underwhelming package.

Anders Bjoler should stop being the lead guitar player in all of his bands.  He is a fantastic rhythm player, but he cannot play leads at even a passable level.

And another thing I've noticed is that there were not many great guitar players that came out of the Gothenburg metal scene were there?

I've kinda fell in love with Darkthrones first two black metal albums(Transylvanian Hunger less so) so I can say that the production doesn't really bother me much anymore.  Just takes a little getting used to listening to a more punk kind of recording style when you are coming from listening to mostly well produced death metal albums exclusively. 

I've noticed out of all the Norwegian bands from that era I've listened to that Satyricon has the highest production values.  Like they recorded their albums in actual studios, and not in the basement of the house the band was crashing in at the time.

I've listened to some Ulver but not "Bergtatt" yet.

Will do though.  Usually when I listen to a band for the first time I usually always go for the consensus best material they've ever produced. If I'm impressed then I go back and forth through their collection to find what I like.

Satyricon- Nemesis Divina.

It seems like all I'm listening to lately is melodeth and second wave black.

Maybe I just like Scandinavian metal a lot in general.

A Canorous Quintet- The Only Pure Hate.

A lot of really bad metalcore bands stole that opening riff from the fourth song on the album(The Void)

Radiohead- The Bends.

I'll show myself out.

But seriously the best non metal band of the 90's.

You know there is such a thing as right wing anti-Capitalism correct?

Read something other than Jonah Goldberg before you give us all our next history lesson.

Hypocrisy- Hypocrisy

Atheist- Unquestionable Presence/ Piece of Time.

I've listened to that album three times a week for about two or three months now.

Chuck Schuldiner being dead makes me very depressed.

Most music would be better with blast beats.

Sacrilege- The Fifth Season

Abaze My Sorrow- Anger Hate and Fury

Stupid band name, ok music I guess.

Sound like a pre-mallcore band.

Unanimated- Ancient God of Evil
