This band has been together for about 22 years now. Went from Death-Doom to melachonic hard rock. Possibly my favorite band besides DeG. Recommended if you like post rock, depressed and don't want to be bothered, after you play a silent hill game.

This band eats human remains. Crazy neo-classical....ish, solos. The released an album back in 1997, 2003, and 2008.

you are wrong at everything in this post, keep it up, you will be a legend in no time. <Grammar Nazi proofed post>

"title track, on the other hand, is their most generic single song to date - yet, not a bad one." Dude......did you even listen to lotus or Hage? Their best release since WTD I like the laid back, chilled out feel of the album. I feel that they have matured so much on this release, like they know what they are doing.

wasnt talking about the vk stuff but more of their recent endeavors, and sadie sucks now and the other band wasnt any better

No real point to this thread besides me posting music so yea But hey finding good new music is awesome right, hopefully I can deliver Dir En Grey, Death Metal - personally think they should scratch this style, other bands does it waay better Benighted - Slut Albums - Icon, Asylum Cave Cryptopsy - Phobopile Both of those albums are classic DM must haves Blasphemy Made flesh, and None So Vile Insect Warfare https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVb9WrUfasY Atmospheric Atoma - Skylight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eD4H8OOR4sI Epic space metal Album: Skylight Septic Flesh - Pyramid God This one is for fans of Amon Syphonic version. I love Amon, but the symphonic version is horrible. This band does symphonic death metal right. Albums: The Great Mas Deathspell Omega - Chaining the Katcheon Twisted, twisted band, one of the most unique black metal bands you will find in years. Albums: Veritas Diaboli Manet in Aeternum: Chaining the Katechon, Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice, Kenose, Paracletus Blut Aus Nord - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sw_L-1Dr9Kg Same as above, they happen to be from France, Seems these days France is taking Black metal from Norway and doing whatever they want with it (Alcest, Les discrets) 777 trilogy, The Work Which Transforms God, Memoria Vetusta II – Dialogue with the Stars Terra Tenebrosa - Apokatastasis Blut Aus Nord and Deathspell have some songs that are only instrumental, this band is pretty much expanding on the ideas of those instrumentals. Albums: The Tunnels Dark Castle - Seeing Through Time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lB-_gASCQco Found this band here, good find Albums: Suffering To All Life Beyond Form Fans of lighter Dir en Grey: Anathema - Untouchable part 1 Album: All of them, coming from depressive doom metal in the early 90s to one of the most positive majestic, atmospheric bands today. Misc band, my favorite songwriter happens to be Steven Wilson so I got to drop his name Prog Rock: Porcupine Tree - Normal Steven Wilson - (my favorite song of 2011)Albums: All of them except maybe Sky moves Sideways

Not exactly what I was looking for but it was definately atmospheric, liked it alot. Don't like Sigh tbh. WAAY too avant garde, the goofy kind of avant garde I guess I should reword it, when I say "creepy", I guess I mean more like..."Unsettling" and "Mysterious".

@ tokage, interesting band, might check them out further, if you like that stuff I would recommend Yndi Halda (only one full length but honestly the best post rock I've ever heard) Or the latest In Mourning album: @Zessshoku Only recommendation I liked(And fitted with the topic) was Dark Castle, will definately check them out, the rest sounded like generic metalcore, and the other band...well.....very few bands can pull off synths with metal without it being too cheesy, like this band, Or Dark Tranquility Dark Castle reminded me of this band, which is also very good also I thnik they have more creepy sounds, Dreambox, Amon, Hydra 666, shitataru, Red Soil, Doruku @Miasma The beginning had something good, an almost "A Perfect Circle" vibe to it, then after that, I asked myself....was this a joke? What I like about certain Dir En Grey songs, is that...its almost like a more commercialized 90s old school Death-Doom metal(Without even being Death-Doom, Kind of like how Post-rock can be beautiful, and how Classical music can be beautiful, different genres, but have the same atmosphere), type atmosphere going on in the sound, Take the intro to this song for instance I love stuff like that, I think Dir En Grey is possibly the only band that can take that type of "atmosphere", and commercialize it without sounding horribly off.

NEED a good knockoff from dir en grey What I am looking for is the atmospheric, creepiness that Dir En Grey has, no acrobatic guitar solo - power metal sounding stuff. Only other Japanese band I see try to attempt Dir en Grey was Gazette's Ruthless Deeds song. Again, I am not exactly looking for the core side of Dir En Grey, but the atmospheric side. Examples: VINUSHKA!, Toguro, Dreambox. Don't need any Different Senses, Hagesashi, juuyoku or Zan Would love some new finds.
