Recommend stuff to me that is obscure and cool. Stuff I won't hear by listening to typical radio stations. Or, hell, point me to popular stuff that I may have skipped past. Pretty much, point me towards cool music and help me spend these songs.
One Day as a Lion is an interesting new band made up of people from The Mars Volta and Rage Against the Machine.
Acid Bath is decent.
Alestorm is some hilarious pirate metal about being a pirate. I wouldn't call it amazing music, just hilarious.
Apocalyptica is pretty awesome; classical/metal.
Nightwish is some good operatic metal.
Lake of Tears is some softer, slower rock with a good sound.
Things a bit less metal...
Assemblage 23
Neuroticfish
Front Line Assembly
The Modern is a new band with a really 80's sound if you like 80's music.
There are over seven, including an orchestral version.
I need to grab the rest of the album and see how it is, but I'm too broke.
it's got what Lorca calls duende.
The Hush Sound
Iron and Wine
Fleet Foxes
Justice
Mates of State
The Octopus Project
Annuals
Foals
Tilly and the Wall
Although to be honest I have no idea how many of them will be on there.
