Akercocke still doesn't cut it for me as well as Depresy, Taake (I do like a few songs from Over Bjorjeijalksn album), Voivod once again...no!. I like the zombie crew music video but not the song. I still stand by my previous opinion of the vocalist.
So the good: Meads of Asphodel is growing on me

No need to qualify.
Hope the tour goes well and they make another album.
verano: basically my new favorite poster. Bravo sir.
check out Solefald if you haven't. Red for Fire and Norron Livskunst are INCREDIBLE.
other recommendations because I didn't see them mentioned are:
Immortal
Windir
Summoning
Alcest
Deathspell omega
ULVER
and I just got into Primordial myself.. fucking great stuff.

If you're going to check out earlier DSO, no point in going before Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice. Their very early shit, like Inquisitors of Satan, was pretty lousy. It wasn't until they got way more experimental on SMRC they got good.

Also, if you (Verano) are biased against long songs, definitely steer clear of their EP's, especially if you found Paralectus hard to swallow.
bounchfx said:
Just listing my favorite albums from these bands, all of which are essential BM (well maybe not Alcest). Also Pills Against Ageless Ills from Solefald, so good!
And to throw a lesser known BM band out there, listen to Khors-"Return to Abandoned". They're kind of like Enslaved, Borknagar, and Emperor all rolled in to one, just great progressive/symphonic/pagan/whatever-the-fuck black metal. Oh, and if you haven't listened to those bands, listen to them lol.
Secks4Food said:
I am biased. It keeps going on and on and I lose patience easily. There's a few exceptions like Enslaved's "Ethica odini" that I wouldn't mind immersing myself for some time
Havent heard of Khors however I heard the rest you mentioned.
Right now Im hearing Obombration 1..so hypnotic and eerily creepy. love it.

Remember when Blood Stain Child were good? Yeah, not anymore. Holy fuck that new singer is awful. =/
I'm sure making the transition to being a female fronted metal band is difficult, but just...wow. So very, very bad.

I finally got around to checking out Megadeth's latest album, and while there are some songs with cool guitar work the lyrics are laughably terrible. Mustaine has never exactly been a poet, but earlier Megadeth albums at least had some songs with cool themes, even if they were just standard metal fare. The lyrics on Endgame though sound like something written by some angsty anarchist middle schooler.

Damn, that didn't take long. His reasoning totally makes sense though. It's a shame I didn't get to see them perform with him again. At least I saw him sing on the Horror Show tour.
Not sure if this was posted, new Cavalera Conspiracy track here.

Deadlock would be my suggestion, though I'm not sure if they count since they have both a male and female vocalist, and the female vocalist is purely clean vocals. It's a very different sound, but one I personally like.

So apparently British doom metal maestros Warning split up, leaving only 2 albums in their discography, with their magnum opus, Watching from a Distance as their full-length swan song.
Well, apparently the band's frontman has formed a new project, 40 Watt Sun! Their first full-length release, The Inside Room has just come out on Mar. 4, 2011, and sounds just like motherfucking Warning! The production's a bit spiffier on this but holy fuck it's just as melancholy and emotional as Warning ever was.
Highly recommended for Warning fans, doom metal fans, metal fans, and anyone who's a fan of brilliantly made music.
Wolves is a great album, Manifesto is decent, and Bizarro World is muffcabbage.

Thanks for all of the suggestions.
The only one of these groups I've heard of before is Melt Banana so I've got a lot to go through. Of the ones I've sampled so far, Arkona is one that stands out as really exceptional.
I'm open to either, though I generally prefer clean.

Tickets went on sale for Progpower USA this past weekend. Probably the most eclectic show yet. I'm really pissed I can't make it for the Evergrey & Vanden Plas Thursday night show. Evergrey is performing In Search of Truth in its entirety as a special performance and I've still yet to see Vanden Plas live.
Also, Seventh Wonder and Redemption are headlining different nights at Progpower Europe.
You were thrown a lot of stuff so I'll try to include some albums on some previously recommended bands long with a few of my own.
Diablo Swing Orchestra - Sing Along Songs for the Damned & Delirious (one of my favorite releases from the last few years. It's metal meets swing with operatic vocals)
Tristania - Widow's Weeds & Ashes (two very different style albums as the main songwriter left to form Sirenia - If you prefer WW, check out Sirenia. I'm personally not a fan to recommend those albums)
The Agonist - Lullabies For The Dormant Mind (mix of clean and growls for one of the more tolerable metalcore bands)
After Forever - After Forever (the last album they released. It's far more progressive than any of their other albums)
Epica - Consign to Oblivion (I think most will recommend Phantom Agony but I've never been a fan of that album. Symphonic metal with female clean vocals and male growler)
Fairyland - Of Wars In Osyrhia (cheesy as fuck power metal with vocals from Elisa C. Martin known for Dark Moor)
The Gathering - Nighttime Birds (probably their most popular album. I'm a fan of their entire catalog)
Midnattsol - Where Twilight Dwells (honestly the only album I have from them but folk metal with clean female vocals so if you like Arkona, you may enjoy this)
Nightwish - Oceanborn (a straight up fantastic album - they've since changed singers with more poppy vocals)
Pythia - Beneath the Vailed Embrace (I haven't given this too much of a listen - symphonic metal with operatic vocals)
White Willow - Storm Season (it's progressive rock but a fantastic album and actually their heaviest release).

Unquestionably poppy, but I'd say sonically they are close enough to metal that their fanbase includes a fair amount of metalheads. Including myself, as I can not resist their delightful hooks and Ms Wessels' voice.
