This thread is about helping people find bands they'd like, and getting a push in the right direction for some bands.

I was wondering if anyone knew a good metal band. Not Lacuna Coil stuff, or fast death metal with bad vocals. I want a real metal band with some developed vocals. Screaming is alright as long as I can tell what they're singing.

If you classify Disciple as metal...Disciple rocks!

I never really liked them. :-\ I'm looking for sort of Dark Tranquility/Nightwish riffage with some good vocals.

hmm.. emery screams, but i don't know if they're considered death metal or w/e. i like emery, especially that song walls

Demonhunter is a band I wanna get into more...

yeah, they seem awesome... one of the guys from demon hunter sang on a falling up song, jackson5... it sounded pretty cool

he also sang in a Kutless song... I love thei one lyric "We'll make like knifes."

that's awesome...

I believe their singer's name is Ryan Clark

Skelfy, can we also clarify which CDs to get from a band? 'cause i'd like to get a U2 album, but i'm not sure which one i should get.

i've always wanted to get into U2, but I just can't, I just don't feel a vibe...

yes. That's what I aimed with this thread. Hopefully everyone can find a good cd by a band or just a band to get into.

I don't listen to U2 really...so I wouldn't know. :-\

Supposedly, The Joshua Tree is one of U2's best. So I've heard.

Yeah, my mom likes that album..she doesn't own it tho. [got it from the library once.]
I really like The Used, as far as sound. But their lyrics are iffy..Is there a Christian band that sounds like them?

Dead Poetic might be as close as you're gonna get.

as have i. but i don't think i've heard it from a u2 fan, only by word of mouth. very weird. :-\ plus, that was before "How to Dismantle..." came out.

Dead Poetic might be as close as you're gonna get.

Yeah, Dead Poetic is great...and The Juliana Theory is another great if-you-want-to-call-it-that "emo" band, though they are "not" Christian...

I don't really know a whole lot of metal bands but check christianhardrock.net to search for a good metal band.

By the way, Deamon Hunter is from my neck of the woods. The drummer and I work at the same recording studio: East End. He says hi.

About U2, i relly like them. The Joshua Tree is one of their best i think, but War and All That You Cant Leave Behind are relly good too.

I gots one, I tend to like what I here from Nickelback, can anyone tell what the different cd's are like? How good they are? etc.

Well, if you want "Christian" Death Metal, some bands like: Zao, Extol, Haste The Day, Mortal Treason, Living Sacrifice, Soul Embrassed, As I Lay Dying, are all good bands. Most of those are on www.purevolume.com, if not, then at www.myspace.com.

How 'bout Norma Jean??? How good are they?

they are good if you like constant screaming. I like screaming, but norma jean is just a little bit too much for me.
