Hey guys. Live Vic is into metal. I mostly listen to non-metal, but do love some metal a lot. Don't know much about it though. Anyhow, I love Will Haven, Subvert, 5ive, and Earthtone 9. Especially Will Haven.

Recommend me some other bands like this, with dark epic moody guitars backed by killer hard drums with great grooves, or something. - Thu, 16 Sep 2010 3:07pm

I wouldn't really say metal by the sound of Will Haven. More like Post Hardcore not to be a geek but very different from what I think when I hear "Metal". Anyway try High on Fire, The Sword and Mastodon to start. - Fri, 17 Sep 2010 11:38pm

Check out "East of the Wall" at:

http://www.myspace.com/eastofthewall

They're pretty rad. I just came across them recently.

Also, check out "Mouth of the Architect." http://www.myspace.com/mouthofthearchitect They're awesome! I have attached a track to this post.

If you're looking for something a bit more progressive (and slightly mellower), check out "Ancestors" (from LA) at:

http://www.myspace.com/ancestorsband

I would also suggest checking out Isis, Pelican, and Neurosis, if you're not into them already.

Cheers,

DON CABALLERO!!

First record is way ahead of it's time, and the rest that I've heard is just as good, but not as groundbreaking. It's like Pelican meets Tortoise.

Don Cab is awesome! It's all about "for respect!"

And you can't go wrong with Mastodon or High on Fire. - Sat, 2 Oct 2010 1:52am
