+ Show Spoiler + Draconian, you've probably heard of them before, but next to swallow the sun, they are my favorite doom metal band Daylight dies, a awesome american band Saturnus Slumber Septic Flesh, when i first heard their name, i was like WTF ? I thought it was some god awful grind band, but they are actually awesome, they craft godlike melodies and have a guitar tone i just love, heres a tribute with some of their best work. Doom:Vs, a solo project from Draconians singer, its basicaly Draconian but more doom and heavy. By far my favorite genre of metal, ive got a ton of bands from the genre. | ||

Swallow the Sun is finnish and OK doom metal, but don´t listen to it that much. Orphaned land is pure awesome, I listen to it sometimes and introduced it to my brother too. Eluveitie is is Swiss and they use some old instruments in their music, don´t know that much really. Don´t know Dark Lunacy but I can just say: WTF ! You say you don´t know Apocalyptica! Apocalyptica I heard that Elvenking is pretty much old school power metal :D And Alestorm I have heard somewhere, I guess you might like Turisas? Turisas Oh god I´m kinda marketing finnish powermetal now and I don´t really even like it that much But I like Amorphis :D = Kalevala Metal And yeah, my UG bands: Bal Sagoth ( This is.... ummm... kinda weird?) A Tale from the Deep Woods Chet Atkins ( There´s no words...Epic Stuff) Mr Bo Jangles Dozer The Rising | ||

Anyway, here's my opinion on what's been presented. Swallow the Sun is mediocre at best, calling it the best doom is like calling Dimmu Borgir the best black metal band. They are both entry-level bands and I can guarantee you you will get tired of them sooner or later. Doom goes much beyond all the shitty generic melodic doom repeating the same secure ideas over and over. High quality doom metal is Esoteric, Skepticism, Mournful Congregation, Evoken and early Dolorian. They all do their own thing and sound 10 times heavier than the melo doom bands who are mostly just all clones of early Katatonia. My contribution... The most eclectic metal band (who does it well, not like uneXpect for example) would have to be maudlin of the Well. I recommend everyone who believes themselves to have eclectic taste in music with a penchant towards metal to check them out. Their new album is free to download on their website because it was entirely fan-funded. The most amazing thing about this band is that they primarily dealt with the subjects of astral projection and lucid dreaming. Most of the music they ever released was 'found' in dreams. www.maudlinofthewell.net | ||

I have listened Arcturus, it´s ok, but... I love Immortal, Hail Blashykrh! I don´t think Keep of Kalessin is that eclectic anymore :/ but everyone should listen their Reclaim album. It has some strange vibe in it. BM noobs will say it´s not tr00 anyway, Ok someone already critisized this thread not being eclectic so: There is this torrent in the webs that goes by the name Jodel. About 100 songs of pure awesome. So you can just suck it zzangdreamjoy :D Thore Skogmans Surströmmingpolka is so incredible.. the words are so great ( I can speak moderate swedish) My other favourite from there: De Zware Jongens - De Jodeljump So that´s for all you folk freaks.... More weird stuff: There was this swedish stoner band( a bit like Dozer,Spiritual Beggars) called Astroqueen and they made I guess 1 1/2 records:D ? Into Submission is a great CD check it out people. Memfis (swedish :I ) Somekinda metal. Not good with genres. They haven´t got a label for their second record even though it has been finished for some time now. 2006 "The Wind-Up" is still great and me and my brother are still waiting and hoping. Memfis Myspace Sahg anyone? Norwegian stoner I guess. Sahg II is a nice record. And it´s mainly a group of blackmetallers? Almost like supergroup ?Also... I have heard of Maudlin of the Well but I have never bothered to give it a chance but I will now so thx for the pep talk if there is anything to thank for. If there isn´t, I´ll just come here and get mad :D | ||

It´s like atleast you have your own taste of music. Fuck those who don´t! My music taste is also kinda weirdo sometimes, but I tend to listen to music always one CD as a whole so it stays in some limits as in quantity of recordes. Kill the heretics of shuffle! I think that if a person can make a good song it means most likely that he or she can make a whole bunch of good songs and arrange them to a record and make a shitloads of great records with NO bad songs. Yeah sometimes it may take sometime to get into some of these bands records but most times I success. I know this is all offtopic but does someone really care? :D And mods don´t need to ban me for that. | ||

You can easily classify my tastes as eclectic since I run the gamut from Doom metal to Pirate/Folk to Orchestral/Ambient to Symphonic Power/Black to Melodic Death/Death to Avant-Garde to Atmosphere (Like Kataxu's WAR track) to Metalcore and bands like Narziss and Maroon to Aggrigate (Psyclon Nine) to Thrash like Lyzanxia. My 3 favorite Doom bands being StS, Mael Mordha and Somnium Mortuum I would rate all higher than Esoteric and those others. All depends what you prefer I suppose. I'm a piano/keyboardist so my likes will be different within the genre. Anyways, the point stands I didn't title this 'Eclectic music BANDS or GROUPS' but, "Eclectic music taste" and I fit within that definition and this is a blog to showcase bands and groups of all sorts which I have, not just Avant-Garde music. | ||

Oh and everyone needs to listen to Ensiferum, especially their debut album. Black metal is good too; Satyricon, Ragnarok, Immortal etc Btw Aegraen, you definately know your metal. That, or you take pride in dropping names =) So I'll contribute as well. One of the best black metal songs I've heard recently: Ragnarok - Blackdoor miracle | ||

I mostly like Underground hip hop, so lyrics are the main thing for me, more so than the music. Although I do appreciate good instrumentals. That is the difference between most metal/hip-hop fans imo. Lyrics versus Non Lyrics. I also mostly like hard hitting slower drum patterns sort of like that mael morda clip above (although the singer and lyrics I don't like there). Head nodders that you can chill to, instead of crazy fast shit that people jump around and mosh to. | ||

They apply to pirate things of old and it is somewhat novelistic like I said before, but also if you really pay attention they are metaphors and can be applied to things today and you can relate to them. Like the chorus that I quoted, it's perfect. I mostly like Underground hip hop, so lyrics is the main thing for me, more so than the music. Although I do appreciate good instrumentals.

Though it seems odd to listen to music for the lyrics mostly, poetry is a lot better in that regard. Each their own though Just a heads up there are some bands with great lyrics.

someone look up definition of "eclectic" before you start posting doom/death/folk metal and yea, there's no "pirate metal", has to be a joke this thread turned into a metal shit fest, imagine how many videos can people link here. I'd link my favs but it doesn't make any sense and i doubt someone is actually listening to all these after first page | ||

Because proclaiming yourself as eclectic when you only truly listen to one genre is ignorant. | ||

Die Sektor - Deathkill http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oStkVV-5Xak <3 <3 <3 the vocals in Aggrotech. I listen to aggrotech/dark electro. Die Sektor and Distorted Memory are awesome Distorted Memory - Loss of Faith Some other bands that I listen to in the genre are Velvet Acid Christ, Control Alt Deus, and Nurzery Rhymes. | ||

I don't understand the lyrics one bit because of the screamo style and distortion on them. Unless you just mean you like the sounds and not specifically the lyrics. Dude, Black Sun Empire has strong roots in Drum and Bass whereas Die Sektor does not. Don't get me wrong, I love both bands, but they do not sound very similar to me. By the way, do you listen to DnB / darkstep? If yes, then I'd like to hear which bands you would recommend to me. | ||
