Since I am just now discovering that most of the really good rock/metal comes out of Europe (I didn't realize how much the heavily-commercial American music really sucks!), I'm looking for suggestions for bands I might like.

I already enjoy Lacuna Coil, Within Temptation and I think I like Nightwish (I haven't heard much of them). I'm just starting to listen to Inkubus Sukkubus and I enjoy it so far (especially their cover of "Paint It Black"). In general, I like the female-fronted, heavily operatic and orchestral metal. So what else is out there that I might enjoy that isn't incredibly watered down (like Evanescence)?

Suggestions from the wonderful European/UK contingent of the BB?
 
I like Nightwish, but only with their new singer. Their older stuff was too opera-ish for me.
I don't listen to much of that symphonic metal stuff (I prefer straight-up metal, like Maiden, Megadeth, and old school Metallica) but yeah, Nightwish is pretty good. But there's a serious lack of good bands with female vocalists nowadays.
 
well im not from over there but I love those bands! hehe And i agree most of it that's good is from Europe or UK, Personally my favorite is within temptation :woot:

you can just type in nightwish or evanescence for instance and you'll get tons of similar artists and you can listen to some of their music, its awesome :biggrin:

You don´t like opera? 😉 That was what started my interest for Nightwish before I had heard a song. And then I finally did hear a song I fell in love with it immediately not knowing it was them. Just my kind of band.

That is really great. I know I found that "feature" somwhere else but don´t remeber there...


I´ll have to get back on this then my brain starts to work. Could be anything from an hour to a month. Let´s hope for the best.


edit: Epica and After forever could be worth checking out.

You really must check out Opeth. I think it really is "your" band. Then there are Ensiferum, Waltari, Children of Bodom (only SW - FtR era, new albums suck), and you should try
In flames, at the gates, dark tranquillity, emperor, mayhem, soilwork, arch enemy, just to mention few.

I think Opeth is too growly for me, but I'll check out the rest of those. Thanks!

I enjoy the operaticness, but I agree about the old singer. She sounds as though she's had some serious operatic training and refuses to give an inch despite fronting a metal band, where that particular style doesn't quite work. The newer singer seems to be having more fun--especially in the video for "Amaranth."
 
I like all kinds of Music not dance really though

Try some Cat Power shes kinda Folky but in a nice way no banjos lol

I like the Cocteau Twins x
