And I must disagree with DarkAngel, Damnation album sucks, big time.
On anther note, I need some new music. I don't care much for the doom sound, any new faster harder stuff out there? Like I love Children of Bodom lately, and Immortal's Damned in Black and Darkthrone's Ravishing Grimness. These are all fast and rythmic. |
The only fast stuff I been listening to is Power and Prog metal, and that's not very dark or anything
That said there are some bands that might offer what you are looking for :
THE WAKE - Ode To My Misery
New release on Finland’s Spikefarm Records. The Wake delivering awesome melodic death metal album, full with Scandinavian death metal riffage & shredding solos. Fans of early Dark Tranquillity, Throne of Chaos and even Children of Bodom take note! Great release!!!!
ETERNAL TEARS OF SORROW - Chaotic Beauty
The latest album by this great band from Finland features ultra melodic black metal with strong influences from Children Of Bodom.
NORTHER - Dreams Of Endless War
Fans of Kalmah and Children of Bodom, this is the album for you! Finland’s Norther debut album on Spinefarm records delivers ultra technical and virtuoso power with lots of neo-classical influences, shredding guitars, and keyboard harmonies. The vocals are a bit growly and rough though but fit the concept of the music.
ARISE - The Godly Work Of Art
Imagine the technical guitar display of Children of Bodom, the melancholic atmosphere of late Dark Tranquility era & the brutality of the bay-area Death/Thrash metal acts; sounds good? This is ARISE! Rising from Sweden, Arise unleashed an excellent debut album. Death! Kill! Destroy! A must have for every Swedish death metal fan.
Featuring a wild cover version of Metallica’s “Motorbreath”& comes in a great digipak.
Indeed Godly!
SINERGY - Suicide By My Side
This all superstars power metal band features Kimberly Goss (Dimmu Borgir, Ancient & Therion), Tommi Lillman (To Die For) & Alexi Laiho (Children of Bodom)! Sinergy successfully combine female power metal vocals with astonishing rhythm section and traditional heavy metal for all the headbangers out there.
EVEMASTER - Wither
Hailing from Finland, Evemaster have been steadily building their status as one of Finland's most unique and exciting metal acts. Originally formed in 1996 by multi musician T.Mykkänen and singer J.Taskula this group developed as what can be described as nature-inspired Scandinavian black metal. They released a demo and two full length releases, the latest one being the acclaimed "Lacrimae Mundi." The band got working on a follow-up and concentrated on taking their unique style another step further.
With "Wither" Evemaster experiment with more progressive elements, blending their Nordic black metal roots with Scandinavian old school thrash (a la Tarot) and a new wave alternative rhythm section (Children of Bodom style). Each song is constantly evolving, ranging from mellow acoustic passages to keyboard driven prog and Finnish black metal.
"Wither" was recorded at the famous Astia Studios (Children Of Bodom, Impaled Nazarene etc.)and features a steller cast of musicians with Jaska Raatikainen (Children Of Bodom) on drums, Marco Hietala (Nightwish/Tarot), Mika Lindberg (Colonian, Cradle Of Filth, Mortiis) on clean male vocals and Late Penttilä (ex-Horna, Satanic Warmaster).
SHADOW - S/T
Debut Album for this great newcomer from Japan. Melodic up temp and well played Swedish-inspired Death/Black Metal. Strong influenced from Children Of Bodom. Fronted by a female vocalist with killer growls!
