I could very well be wrong; where to start?


Already a big Incubus fan :)
 

 

Yes, on their latest albums. 

You can try some of their old stuff.

nice thread,i am also currently looking for other alternative/death metal like "in flames" and "sonic syndicate".  except for those two i don't know any others at all.

i really like this kind of death metal because it is melodic and i like the vocals very much.  they are not like the typical death metal growls but more screaming.

Looks like you're looking for more melodic death metal, check these out:

 

Dark Tranquillity

Insomnium

Cormorant

Skyfire

Mors Principium Est

Scar Symmetry

Sacrilege (In Flames drummer Daniel Svensson should have never left this band!)

 

In Flames are a pitiful shadow of what they once were IMO, as their sound now is far removed from their past glories like "Whoracle" and "The Jester Race".

Devin Townsend, I have "Terria" at the moment but there will be more in the future. Just be open and curious when you listen to this album for it can surprise you...

Bloc Party- Start with "Silent Alarm"

Spoon- Only listened to the most recent one.

The National- I liked their self labeled debut, and thats the only one I heard. Many people like the most recent release, "High violet"

Goo Goo Dolls- "Superstar Carwash". I think its amazing. Like the replacements, they have two "sides". The mainstream one you hear today (which frankly, isn't too bad) and their old, harder style.

A genre I literary have a distaste for or maybe are not that into are Rap/ Hip-Hop, but one band stands clearly out of the else so beat/ rhyme based boredom. Dälek that's currently signed to Ipecac Recordings are hands down something quite different, they draw on a very wide base of influences and not just play to death a somewhat cool sample.

 

Some background info. -> http://www.matadorrecords.com/dalek/biography.html

 

Paragraphs Relentless from Abandoned Language, 2007 -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvM5iVq5Nag

2012 (The Pillage) from Gutter Tactics, 2009 -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GnTYS-dCu4

 

I know.. not rock/ metal, but they are alternative and draw influence from metal and I saw you mentioned Incubus and Deftones.

I saw Russian Circles mentioned and that is definately worth a try.  You might also like Pain of Salvation.
