Recommend something to somebody else

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Here's a positive idea; share with others the bands and songs that they might like, but might not have heard before.

 

For example, Nevermortal should really check out Brotha Lynch Hung's "Now Eat."

 

For lack of a better descriptor, it's Brutal Rap.

 

"guess what daddy's bringin' home, for supper..

nigga, Nuts and guts and slabs of human meat motherfucker..

NOW EAT."

 

That whole song is just sicker than hell, and involves coitus with a nine millimeter.

[Nevermortal 0]

Why thank you, AoO, I shall check that out.

 

To you, I recommend John Zewizz's fetish music project, Women of the SS. With such song titles as "SS Orgy", "The Call to Women and Girls ov All Ages", "SS Pet", "Piss, Sophie, Piss", and "I am Woman, ov the SS", you will be pleased to hear sweeping soundscapes narrated by a woman who has a distinct duty to please der fuhrer and the fatherland.

I'm gonna say Agent should check out The Flying Luttenbachers. I remember saying something about them to him once, but I don't know if he ever followed up on it.

 

Their sound varies from album-to-album: spazzy no wave (Revenge of the Flying Luttenbachers) to abrasive free jazz (Destroy All Music) to the so-called "brutal prog" style of their most recent releases. My favorite of these—and their best album, I think—is Infection and Decline, a monstrously thick slab of noise, consisting of band mastermind Weasel Walter's hyperspeed drumming and two bassists armed with a shitload of effects pedals. Their newest one is Systems Emerge From Complete Disorder, which is sonically similar, but with a lot more instrumentation (guitars and pianos and such). Oh, and allmusic describes that album as "some kind of unholy marriage between Magma's aggressive, spiky '70s prog, the untrammeled anarchy of a European free improv set from the late '60s, and the pummeling aggression of modern-day Scandinavian death metal," which can just as well describe Infection.

 

And here's the band circa Infection and Decline (their line-up changes constantly; Walter, on the far right, is the only original member):

Not sure who I recommend this for...maybe agent. Hell Inca might even like this shit.

 

For multi genre fans who like drugs and or drug induced music.

 

Peccatum - Lost In Reverie. Ihsahn was in the top black metal act in the world (emperor), then he got married. His priorities shifted from ace #1 black metal screamer to reinventing the genre with technical death flourishes and general outside the box thinking.

 

Then his wife castrated him and dragged him into her project along with a brother in law.

 

Generally sounding like the members went into the studio with way too much incense in the air after listening to a bunch of european dramas from the 70's, the band lays down their respective influences/indictments for the schools of music they come from and reside in.

 

Where Emperor sounds like screaming death rage of satan and blackness later tempered with broadened sense of musical ability, Peccatum sounds like Emperor's responsible older sister with straight A's who's only foible is that she keeps overdosing on poorly made halucinogens at the cool kids' parties.

 

There is a distinctly feminen edge to the proceedings here with many of the 'straight' parts sounding like a girl rock group from the early 70's with modern equipment and effects. Even when Ihsahn jumps out of the box with metal guitar and some tasty black metal hell...it still seems like it has a woman overseeing the process.

 

Avant garde goth/industrial rock that I'm not sure I like but I can't pull away from it for the last 3 days.

 

closest comparison for me would be if Arcturus gave up space travel and the Masquerade Infernale and became hippies.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

I'm going to try to get the notorious headbangers in here to listen to some rap:

 

Thumbtack, check out "Sinister" by Tech Nine. He's an orange-haired thug that says his name a lot, and talks about good old fashioned drugs and killing people. He's pretty sharp, though, and faster than hell. He's got a very pronounced evil side like Brotha Lynch Hung, too.

 

godthedog, seriously get into Muddy Waters if you haven't yet.

[Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye 0]

Before I got this peccatum album and the newest Anathema again I was listening to Masta Killa, GZA, Wu Tang Clan, and Bone Thugz N Harmony for almost a week solid. Getting me into listening to rap doesn't exist.

 

I will add Tech Nine to my download list.

[Giuseppe Zangara 0]

Part of the Luttenbachers appeal—for me, anyway—is that they're an all-instrumental band, meaning they lack the growly vox they'd possibly employ.

[Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye 0]

That doesn't work for a lot of metal fans because the harsh vocals = another instrument instead of a conveyance of lyrics. I believe I shall also steal this recommendation and check this band out.

I'd like to reccommend the Madvillain album to anybody who likes laid back hip-hop, a la Outkast.

[Renegade 0]

The mad capsule markets.

 

Some good songs from them: Tribe, Good Girl, All the time in sunny beach, Island, midi surf and pulse.

ATLiens is the only Outkast album that's remotely "laid back."

[B. Brian Brunzell 0]

If anyone on this board is into bluegrassy-jam band stuff, I'd liketo recommend moe. to you. I've seen praise for Phish and even some love for The Bakerton Trio, but in all honesty, I think moe. smokes 'em all. Just my two cents.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Bakerton is Clutch minus Neil Fallon, right?

 

You should check out Robin Trower and Foetus if you never have. The former is a guitar wizard that slipped through the cracks, the latter is J.G. Thirlwell's one man industrial project. I'd put him on a similar plateau as Richard D James, but their styles are totally different. Foetus is full of really sharp lyrics, many of which cul-de-sac in your classic industrial nihilism, but they're the ones who set the tone. He pulls off a jazz sound on Scraping Foetus off The Wheel, mixed with the clashing of metal things, beats, rough guitar, and lyrics involving doing unspeakable things on the White House lawn.

I'll recommend ZAO to anyone who loves metal. Click the link in my sig to go to their website. If you like "nu-metal" try the Project 86 link. There not "nu-metal," but I don't know a better way to describe them.

[Guest Dynamite Kido]

After all the talk here of brutal rap, I got a recommedation for you(if that's what your into). Anything by Necro....he's like Brotha Lynch times 10.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Hey isn't there some hot shit Bucket drummer in England right now? Ah, I'm sure there's one someplace.

 

Either way, he really needs to hook up with this Necro character.

 

I think we all know what I mean.

ATLiens is the only Outkast album that's remotely "laid back."

Relatively. Outkast have got a more laid-back flow than the norm, and their sound is generally less harsh than conventional rap.

[Guest wayzing]

Good to see Robin Trower get some love. Bridge of Sighes should work for anyone. He is (was?) a pretty good vocalist too.

 

I'd recommend Baby Woodrose to anyone. Along with The Untamed and Sort Sol I'd say they're Denmark's finest (for whatever that's worth )

 

Click on the picture to go to their label's website. You'll find some perfectly legal free mp3s there. Check out the song "Everything is going to be alright".

 

[PLAGIARISM! 0]

I must get some Foetus, and Lydia Lunch. The only Foetus thing I've really heard is the song he did with the melvins, but I love his voice.

[PLAGIARISM! 0]

Oh and Kotz might like Sparks' disco stuff. Angst in my Pants and Gratuitous sax and senseless violins own.

[B. Brian Brunzell 0]

Great guitarist, and a great album. Trower is such an unsung guitar her. He's one of my favourites, up there with David Gilmour and Robert Fripp.

 

And yes, Agent, Bakerton is Maines, Sult, and Gastier. By the way, do you of any Neil Fallon side projects?

[Guest Mindless_Aggression]

For anyone into Mike Patton, I'd recommend Dog Fashion Disco. It's essentially elements of Faith No More and Mr. Bungle's jazzier moments meeting head on with fairly straight metal. Although instead of guitar solos, you get a lot of flute solos and jazz breakdowns. Pogo The Clown, The Vertigo Motel, Headless, 9 to 5 At The Morgue, Rapist Eyes and Love Song For A Witch are all really excellent unique songs.

[1234-5678 0]

For anyone into rap, I'd recommend Atmosphere's "Don't Ever Fucking Question That."

DFD is definitely a unique band to say the least. I heard their first album and liked it alot. I always thought that Dog Fashion Disco was the homicidal maniac bastard child of Tool, Faith No More and Mr. Bungle.

[Guest Mindless_Aggression]

That really isn't a bad description of it all maybe throw in a dash of the first System Of A Down record, their second Spitfire Album, Committed To A Bright Future is some really brilliant stuff, as they cut down on the generic metal screaming and strengthen the orchestral and funk influence. At the very least, it's a really fun band to listen too.

[Steviekick 0]

I'll recommend ZAO to anyone who loves metal. Click the link in my sig to go to their website.

I second that. Zao is propably the best melodic hardcore band.

 

Dog Fashion Disco FREAKING owns.

[Corey_Lazarus 0]

I'd recommend Sound Like The Hu-Man to fans of...well, just about any style of remotely heavy music. The songs they have out right now are poorly produced, since they were all recorded as live sessions in the basement of a friend of the bassist, and you can barely hear the vocals, but the songs are actually quite good. Sort of like a more metal-ized Fugazi, if you will.

 

Funny part? The drummer was only playing drums for a year, if that, when they formed. He's really good for his level of inexperience, too.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

And yes, Agent, Bakerton is Maines, Sult, and Gastier. By the way, do you of any Neil Fallon side projects?

 

I didn't know he had any.

 

Good call on Fripp, too. He's by far my favorite guitarist ever.

 

THUMBTACK and Nevermortal

 

Since I've seen you express an interest in industrial at times, listen to some Einstuerzende Neubauten. Ende Neu is so german it's wrong. "Was Ist Ist" and "The explosion in the festival house" (I can't remember the german spelling, but I know what it means) are both totally mind-numbing. They use an array of instruments and non-instruments ranging from standard rock fare and programming to pneumatic presses and drills, and the ghastly ELECTRIFIED BASS SPRING.

[k thx 0]

I reccommend the new Ikara Colt album Modern Apprentice to anybody who liked At The Drive-In.

[PLAGIARISM! 0]

I dig Einsturzende Neubauten. I think they're more of a live band though.
