I'm looking for some recommendations. Most of what I listen to now is Iron Maiden, Rammstein, with bits of Dio, Megadeth, Metallica, and Black Sabbath. I prefer clean vocals and dislike growling. Skimming the thread Blind Guardian seems like a good start.

I have finally caught up to the end of this thread over the last few months. Thanks for all the links, not sure how I would have discovered many band's existence otherwise. I tried to click most of them or at least put interesting things on a list for later. That list got quite long so I'm now looking trying to narrow down a bit. Stuff I am listening to now: Blind Guardian, Iron Maiden, Unleash the Archers, Judas Priest, Mystik some Black Sabbath, Dio, Doom soundtrack, and bits and pieces of various bands I usually like only a couple songs of. Things that I am looking for recommendations about: -more power metal, maybe leaning a bit darker? -There was a good amount of the Black and some Death metal stuff posted I liked the sound of but I just can't get into harsh vocals. If there is a subgenre of Black metal without shrieking I might be into that but don't know if that exists or is just not considered black metal. I came across a Dimmu Borgir concert on youtube with choir/orchestra that seemed decent, though I get the impression that was less black (for lack of a better term) than most black metal I tried. -Symphonic elements are good additions but plain Symphonic metal as a genre hasn't given me anything interesting yet. -I noticed I like bands/covers with female vocalists, excluding harsh vocals or opera vocals which I dislike, which doesn't seem to leave too many. -Doom metal that leans towards the above stuff might be worth a shot. I tried some from a post while working and realized after a while I felt it was good but couldn't give a reason why or recall any of it standing out from the rest. Not sure if I liked it or it was just better than silence as background.

I noticed Unleash the Archers only has 4 members in the new videos and on wikipedia they don't have a bass player listed (and seem to drop them often). I don't know much about band compositions so I am curious if not having a bass player is a thing or if there is one but unofficial or prerecorded for some reason.

MrBling posted:Bass players and drummers are like cats. Sometimes they run away and it takes a little while to replace them, because you think they might return.

Henchman of Santa posted:Lots of bass players and drummers get work as session or touring musicians rather than full time band members. Blind Guardian didn’t have a bass player after Hansi dropped it and just used hired guns afterward, for example. If there’s no bass at all, you’ll notice.
