Wintersun... Their pronounciation, aieee, it burnses me! Amorphis are also Finnish - I always thought they were ah, merkins.

EDIT: I am in an odd mood, do ignore the odd text-noises that find their way into my posts.

1. flow

n. A rapper's ability to rhyme to phat beats in a skillful manner


I don't see "The ability of weird bands to produce obscure music" in that definition!

So, any idea about when is Time coming up? They have been recording that album forever...

I feel really lazy so you should just click on my last.fm thing down below. If I listen to it then it is cool. Some of it overlaps with Jack, some doesn't though I think we have fairly similar tastes. Even if he does hate Conor Oberst.

Edit: Ok, I will give a few descriptions because I don't want to do my paper.

Cursive: Emo, catchy guitar, well written lyrics- The Night I Lost the Will to Fight
Rasputina: Cello rock, lots of songs about history- The New Zero
Doctor Steel: Industrial rap, steampunk, songs about building toy factories and world domination, Sometimes makes me wonder if it is Jigan in song form- Back and Forth
Circle Takes the Square: Screamo but not that whiny stuff people pass off as screamo. More like screamo with progressive/math rock guitar and drum work and some ritualistic style chants. This is what the Cacophony should sound like: Interview at the Ruins
Architecture in Helsinki: Australian! Up beat! Sort of scary sometimes!: Do the Whirlwind
Cap'n Jazz: Old School Emo, less crying more badass: Little League
Fiery Furnaces: Concept albums about pirates, blueberry boats, cell phone salesmen, stealing your brother's girl, and ADHD? Yes please.- Blueberry Boat

I could quote selectively too, you know.

Wintersun and Amorphis are great! I'd rather hear things in their native tongues, but I can get passed pronunciation. Usually...

Have you heard of Isis, Saaga? I may be thinking of the wrong band, but...

EDIT: Yes, Isis. They were recommended to me by another Agalloch-phile.

I was stupid and left out Alestorm. Scottish Pirate Metal- Leviathan

Wow, I really liked Explosions in the Sky. Thank you for that, Shamarah.



I enjoyed their music, even if it's a little too upbeat for my tastes. Thank you.



Wow... just wow.

I want to see him live sometime just because it looks like a crazy show. There are a bunch of live videos on youtube. Sadly he uses a real band, the robot band isn't working yet.

Devin Townsend
A great bipolar musician, that just happens to be ugly as hell.
Genre: Shifting somewhere between Rock and Metal, with wild variations depending on the album and band (specially in the vocal department) .
It runs the whole gamut from this:
All Hail the New Flesh
Sh*tstorm
To this:
Let it roll
Sunshine and Happiness
And the sometimes you get some random oddness thrown in there
Vampolka


Edit:

@Othero Alestorm FTW but I'm more partial to this one. Wenches & Mead
Also, I find your idea of the Cacophony somehow lacking in the chaos department. Personally, I would nominate Unexpect Megalomaniac Trees

For MYRKR:
Wäinötär - Noita Something like Värttinä, but mixes folk/electronica - not quite as pure modern folk music but interesting to say at least. (more)
Saaga - The Swell
Lumsk - Trolltind Norwegian stuff. I like her voice.
