Atavist http://www.myspace.com/atavist Not for the faint of heart. Even your average metalhead probably won't quite get this. Music that expresses every negative emotion concievable at the same time. They play a wide range of styles, from a purely ambient/post rock type of thing to extreme sludge.
And since tl tends to throw tantrums when too many metal artists get posted:

Just for the benefit of others I'll post it here instead. I reckon most if not all of these can be found on the FLCL soundtrack. I'm basically just posting my favs from it:
The Pillows
I think I can One Life Bran New Lovesong Hybrid Rainbow Instant Music Blues Drive Monster Stalker/Stalker Goes to Babylon Ride on Shooting Star Happy Bivouac Crazy Sunshine
Ok so first one is called Arts the Beatdoctor and it's an artist from the Netherlands, here is his myspace profile http://www.myspace.com/artsthebeatdoctor his first album called Transitions is in my opinion one of the best albums of 2007.
The second artist is called Dj Day, it's a dj from California, and his album The Day Before is one of my all time favorites. Especially listen to song called Closer, http://www.myspace.com/djday
Brother Irrational is one of my favorites. If you enjoy this band and snowboarding, you might enjoy a snowboard movie called Elekrep. It's peppered with their music.
the pillows are playing here some time soon in the SXSW lineup
to people who might enjoy jazz fusion in a funky contemporary weather report vibe, snarky puppy is a gem. band originally from denton tx (unt town) now touring, I saw em open for vic wooten in dallas. solid solid stuff
A couple brothers from my homecity Phoenix, ones on drums the other has a keyboard..Great percussion.. Lymbyc Systym: http://www.myspace.com/thelymbycsystym [Experimental Instrumental stuff, no vocals]
Recently lived in Dayton Oh and worked with a guy in a small local band.. Sleepybird: http://www.myspace.com/sleepybird [Indie Folk Rock, real mellow]
OK, I have two bands I'm going to post. Both of their music is kind of similar, kind of rock/punk/reggae. The first band is Passafire, I've seen them live and they ripped. http://www.myspace.com/passafire
This other band might be known to Canadians, it is illScarlett. I haven't seen these guys live, but god I want to. http://www.myspace.com/illscarlett
This is in my opinion one of the best Breakcore artists out there these days, when most people see "Breakcore" they tend to think of Venetian Snares and yeah he's good but the super cut up, abstract and complex beats of Xanopticon is far superior imo. his beatslicing is so insanely precise into the last millisecond, it's pure insanity.
I recommend you listen to Stable Fire on his myspace page, it's not the craziest stuff he's ever done so people not too familiar with the genre will most likely survive.
Breakcore is definitely not for everyone but if you like artists like Aphex Twin, Enduser, The Flashbulb but still want something harder, you're definitely gonna like Xanopticon.
Ill take it, thank you sir ^^
...I was just thinking how i needed to listen to more breaks/dnb..
I hesitate to post this cause Im not sure if he actually produces tracks or has an album.. in progress i guess, but its really impressive nontheless..

Its a small and not well known death metal band with 5 amazing songs. Check em out. Clicky-Myspace Link
They have a very unique sound, and for an American band that is cool considering its black metal
Steps to success as Abigail Williams: 1. Hot Keyboardist, she may or may not have any idea what's going on or even like or know anything about the style of music you intend to play. 2. ??? 3. Profit 4. The Keyboardist is a pretentious pile of wank who's more or less destroying the integrity of your band, just disband. 5. Reform band without hot keyboardist, WE'RE GONNA DO IT RIGHT THIS TIME. 6. Return to step 1, hire a different hot keyboardist.
As much as I'd love to tear this band to shreds for being from my hometown and for the Legend EP being among the worst peices of black metal ever recorded, I do have to admit the new tracks look like a big step forward. But for the love of all that is awesome, STAY THE FUCK AWAY from Legend if you want to maintain any respect for these assholes.
I've got to plug Indesinence as well, slow and morbid death/doom metal from UK. You won't find much of the fast paced testosterone drenched adrenaline pounding death metal here. Nor will you find the My Dying Bride-ish romanticism and mourning so commonly associated with doom. This band is has a menacing, diablolical, sinister feel to it. Listen to the opening riff on Dusk Towering Forth, is that not one of the most evil things produced by a guitar? http://www.myspace.com/indesinence
