I've talked these guys up a lot in the past, but Floater is pretty awesome. Also, Acroma is great in sort of a tool-meets-pearl-jam sort of way, and I'm a big Slave to the System and Manmade God fan - I just have a thing for bands that sound like Soundgarden but aren't.

I'm putting Lich King, Violator, and Suicidal Angels in here. Both are great neo thrash bands. Lich King are funny as hell, and Violator ARE speed thrash. Suicidal Angels are just an amazing band.
Vore is awesome. I hate the eyeball O in their logo, but their tunes crush! :metal:What are some bands you've found that are brand new or barely heard of? Let's get them some exposure!

I think this track is great and is a reasonably straight forward rock track. Unfortunately I'm not sure I like the rest of the stuff I have heard as much but this guy definitely has a Cornell vibe to his voice.
I'll check it out, dude - meanwhile, see if you can track down "Ragdoll" by Slave to the System or "Safe Passage" by Manmade God. Killer tracks.
Failure. They recorded three albums in the 90's, before disbanding and each member moving on to different things. I think they could easily have had a better chance at getting a mainstream breakthrough had they jumped on the grunge wave. They stuck to their guns -- and eccentricity, I might add -- and were better for it.

I actually went looking for them after you had initially mentioned them - so have already found themI'll check it out, dude - meanwhile, see if you can track down "Ragdoll" by Slave to the System or "Safe Passage" by Manmade God. Killer tracks.
:Slave to the System - Ragdoll -
In the choruses - that IS Cornell surely?! :lol:Manmade God - Safe Passage - from the off I liked this a little less, but I listened to another track - Swamp Water - which had a pretty satisfying opening riff
I have definitely had a hankering for some dirgey Soundgarden/Alice in Chains/Mad Season type stuff so this works. Cheers Drew looks like I will be picking up both of their self titled albums. :yesway:
I'd put links but my phone is being a pain in my butt, so here's just a list of songs by each band
Savage Spawn - Thrashing Time and Scarab - only ones I know they have on YouTube. Saw them live with Havok, very badass live.
Havok - Covering Fire, D.O.A., Give me liberty or Give me Death, Cradle To The Grave, Killing Tendencies, Melting the Mountain, Postmortem/Raining Blood (sounds almost exactly like them)
Graveyard - Blue Soul, Endless Night, Goliath - sounds kind of like Black Sabbath
Vore -Gravehammer, Doomwhore and Progeny of The Leviathans
Gama Bomb - Skeleton and Time Crime (which is a really weird song but I kind of like it)
Lazarus A.D. - Lust, Absolute Power, Black Rivers Flow, light A City (Up In Smoke), The Onslaught Pt 1- Revolution
Suicidal Angels -Beggar of Scorn
And I don't know the names of any of Cryptic Incarnations songs, I just saw them live and they were pretty good.
White Wizard - High Speed GTO and Over The Top

Just found out about this brand new german band. here's a song from their first album :yesway:
Saw them in 2011 supporting Delain in Manchester - who they're tied with for best live band I've seen. Georg was winding the crowd up something fierce, seemed to be channelling a bit of Freddy Mercury. I think I managed to last a whole 24 hours afterwards before I bought Death and Legacy, it was that good.
My pick for now: a band from Sweden called PAIN. Saw them supporting Nightwish last year, and despite the singer having lost his voice just before the tour, they still sounded awesome. They're somewhere between Rammstein and Airbourne.
If you're not familiar, Pain's main guy is Peter Tagtgren, of Hypocrisy.
here's what they sound like:

I love me some ASG. They popped up on Pandora a couple of years ago and I had to search them out. Their earlier work has kind of a SoCal punky edge, but they started going more of a southern/stoner rock inspired direction with 2007's "Win Us Over" and even more so with their latest album "Blood Drive." That album is currently the soundtrack on my daily commute, lots of great riffs and grooves on that one.ASG. They're on Relapse, so not really an unheard of band, but I haven't seen a post about them
I know that some of you know this guy. He's relatively underappreciated but has a solid body of work. :yesway:
I see your solo record, and raise you this:I know that some of you know this guy. He's relatively underappreciated but has a solid body of work. :yesway:
