Not death metal in the slightest, but Symphony X's latest album is pretty sci-fi. Also, while it's an instrumental album, Amogh Symphony's Quantum Hack Code has a decent sci-fi story in the narration. The music is also exactly what I imagine warring computer systems to sound like.

Well if we're going into power metal territory with the sci fi recommendations then you really have to mention Star One, another Lucassen project. Songs about Dune, Trek, Stargate, and random lovely Sci-Fi Original type movies.

Your second argument is not convincing. I mean, I guess I can tolerate Arjen when he's making his Dutch drug-addled prog-pop-rock but whenever he attempts to create metal it's just so unbelievably cheesy and stupid. What I'm trying to say is that My House on Mars is a song that I would willingly listen to but anything off Migrator II is awful awful awful tripe. 10100100101010111 or whatever that album was was such a crock of over-built bombast that I couldn't bring myself to like it. I mean, I love Bal-Sagoth for chrissakes, I'm a fan of the bombastic. That one was just... cotton candy on a deep fried mars bar covered in cheese and whipped cream.

Mithotyn is basically the band that would become Falconer but with harsh vocals. I didn't care much for it (I think Falconer has generally improved albeit with some missteps), but you may, the actual music is very much like what earlier Falconer was.

Pestilence- "Spheres" Crystal Age- "Far Beyond Divine Horizons" Jaws- "A Metal Tribute To 'Aliens'" ....yes, it is a concept album entirely based on the film, with lots of samples. I love sci-fi metal..... Supuration- "The Cube" I will def be checking out some of the other stuff recommended so far. Thanks, people! edit: just remembered a couple more. Nocturnus- "The Key" Edge Of Sanity- "Crimson" Seconding "Sidereal Journey." Not without its flaws, but still works very well. Oxiplegatz' prior album, "Worlds And Worlds," is more straight up musically, but still very sci-fi oriented, and worth checking out. edit 2: fixed the spelling of "Supuration." May still be misspelled, but that's how the band spells it. Leopold N. Loeb fucked around with this message at 07:56 on Feb 7, 2012 |

Dol Ammad - Star Tales Incredibly pretentious Greek symphonic operatic electronic metal that sounds like if Therion did a collaboration with the composer who did all of Namco's Tales RPGs.

^^^ The guitarist you are thinking of is Mathieu Marcotte. I saw him when Augury played at my city. Since I was one of 4 Augury fans there, we hung out with the Augury crew all night. Nice guys, but Mathieu is very very French. I could barely understand him. Nocturnus' album The Key was not only a technical death metal milestone back in 1990, but was also a crazy concept album. The story of the album follows a cyborg who goes back in time to the year 0 B.C. which eventually leads to the destruction of Christianity and the creation of a modern empire (I stole the synopsis from Wikipedia). I figure that's sci-fi enough. My favorite song is Droid Sector. Edit: I just noticed that someone had already suggested The Key. Oops. Dooz fucked around with this message at 07:48 on Feb 6, 2012 |

I'm listening to Falloch's Where Distant Spirits Remain and it's an absolutely beautiful album! It's sort of like if you removed the French-ness from Alcest. Also, for those who asked about Wildernessking a while back, their label, Antithetic Records are running a fundraiser for the vinyl release. It's basically a donation-preorder thing and it's a pretty nice way to support the band. If you like what you've heard, I'm sure it would mean a lot to the band and the label. (I hope this doesn't come off as soliciting, but if it is, I'll remove it.)

I'll work on more, I just haven't been in the mood to write lately, and when I have it's been all depressive black metal. Winter tends to do that. I've had the itch to play more thrash though, so I'll try to get back on that. Also the girl doing vocals moved to Texas, but she and I have similar screaming voices so it's do-able.
