is 5 posted:i've been listening to alcest's Souvenirs d'un autre monde and i've been loving it. as someone with well-below entry level knowledge of metal of all sorts, is there more music similar to this? digging around on last.fm, the "similar artists" either lean too much towards black metal or towards boring post-rock. Is it just that last.fm isn't too helpful in this case or am I simply trying too hard to find shoegaze in a scene that im completely unfamiliar with? That Alcest album is barely metal, it's really a shoegaze album in almost every way. If you don't mind venturing a bit more into the black metal album, Ulver's early album Bergtatt is similar in that it has elements of both genres, but it's closer to the metal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNyIWBCFq5Y&feature=related There's a lot of modern stuff that comes close to that, but might as well go straight for the classics if this is all new to you.

Way Past Cool! posted:Seems like you hit most of the big names, but left out Wichfinder General, Melvins, Earth, Acid Bath, Om, Witchcraft, Witch etc. but rather than just listing bands, I suggest you check out the Stoner/Sludge/Doom Megathread. And more recently, Acid Witch. Doom bands need new names

Funyon posted:Thanks for the recommendations guys. But none of those artists really do it for me the way Regina Spektor does. I don't know what it is about her. I usually listen to metal, but I can't stop listening to her. Depends on what kind of metal you are looking for really. There's a lot of power metal with the whole orchestra stuff, but for specifically keyboards/pianos Sonata Arctica does a lot of that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUszotxuwGo&feature=related And then there are bands that use the more orchestral stuff and throw in pianos from time to time like Kamelot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4wV4rxTqfU&feature=related All their ballads and such are entirely piano based but not exactly metal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEJ9tCdQVwE&feature=related If you want something closer to Black Metal Munky's Mirrorthrone recommendation is probably as good as you'll get. Also there's this obscure Japanese band, Mutyumu: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiGNYfPgHlU A lot of their songs are really varied and they jump genres a lot so if you don't like specific parts of it jump around on youtube and you may find a song to like.
