Soulfly


Official Site:
http://www.soulflyweb.com/

Genre:
Nu Metal, Groove Metal, Trash Metal


Description:
This band is formed by Max Cavalera after quitting Sepultura and losing his step son, Dana Wells. I believe he left Sepultura because of his spiritual beliefs, as Sepultura was Anti-Christ. Also, it is very obvious when all of his albums that i own has "Dedicated to God" written at the back.


What really differs this Nu Metal band from the others is their influence of Brazillian tribal music. Quite a lot of albums are made and a long list of good songs, but i'll just list out a few.
He also worked along side other popular bands like Deftones, Apocalyptica, Fred Durst, Cypress Hill etc.

Recommended Songs:
Soulfly - Bleed
Soulfly - Soulfly
Soulfly - Fire
Soulfly - RiotStarter

Videos:
Soulfly - Back to the primitive


Soulfly - Seek n Strike


Soulfly - Bleed (Feat Fred Durst)

Delerium

Genre:
Experimental, Dark Ambient / Ambient, Trance, Intrumental

Description:
Delerium is usually compared to Enigma or even Enya, mostly instrumentals. Been popular among trance lovers for their track "Silence". You must be surprised not knowing about them, it formed somewhere around 1987. Overall, Delerium is never boring, they're very experimental and their music keeps changing over time. The variance in their music keeps me amazed.

Recommended songs:
Delerium - Terra Firma
Delerium - Silence
Delerium - Silence (Airscape mix) / (Tiesto Mix)


Videos:

Bullet for my valentine

Official MySpace site:
http://www.myspace.com/bulletformyvalentine
(Listen to their tracks here)

Genre:
Metalcore, Heavy Metal

Description:
Personally think My chemical romance is overrated for it's name, popular mainstream band. When i asked a My chemical romance fan what else she listens to, she said Hillary Duff.. WHAT? HILLARY DUFF! What's worse, when they realize that they said it to the wrong person.. they go "well, i hate britney spears and people like that but i generally listen to everything". LOL..

Well anyway, if you are looking for a band with a COOL name like My chemical romance, but with good music and skills, here you go.
Bullet for my valentine is very opposite of My chemical romance in many ways, as you can see from the band name itself.


They're "fast, hard, brutal,.. lovely", as you can expect from a Metalcore band, they from UK and also previously known as Jeff killed John and 12 Pints of My Girlfriend's Blood.
Very good vocals, you will enjoy them if you prefer something like Creed, 30 Seconds to Mars and Napalm Death mixed together.
I find it a Very.. VERY nice band.


Hope you guys like it.

Recommend songs:
Bullet for my valentine - 4 words (to choke upon)
Bullet for my valentine - All these things i hate (revolve around me)

Nuttin but stringz


Official Site:

Genre:
...

Description:
Another one in the family of strings. Yeah, Apocalytica and Black Violin lovers, we have another one, NUTTIN BUT STRINGZ, they all push the boundaries to the very limits of imagination and creativity. I tried their song "Thunder" and just LOVED IT.
One thing i realized about the song.. i kinda get the smell of "Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams" in it.

If i'm not wrong, they got popular from the "America's Got Talent" show. Also, u can tell by their album title: "Struggle from the subway to the charts"

Marilyn Manson <-- one of the guys i hate the most in my entire life, what a loser.

Enjoy

Black Violin

Genre:
I dont know really..

Description:
Interesting.. Another band like Apocalyptica, i havent try out much of their songs. The significant differences between these two bands? If Apocalyptica plays metal, Black Violin plays Hip Hop.
If u know "Loose Control by Missy Elliot", you have to try "Loose Control by Black Violin"

I have another one coming up, Nuttin but Stringz.
