The great new band challenge ?
-
Hmmm... I bought the Diamond Head best of in Canada, and while I knew about them, I've never heard them before, that's blowing my mind right now. Also the Johnny Cash compilation I bought is really cool, that I obviously had heard of before. For bands I didn't know existed 12 months ago, my vote would be Crystal Pistol, a most excellent sleaze rock outfit coming out of Canada. The best track starts with 'Everybody hates you when you love rock n roll'. Brilliance. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Metal Musings - Rex and my new metal blog

Diamond Head
Excellent band - I especially liked the album "Canterbury"...which I no longer have and can't get hold of *anywhere* :-(

Christian has been discovering country music and I am always complaining about buying disappointing albums. We all want to hear about new music, so here is an opportunity. How about everyone post the name of one band who blew their mind for the for the first time in the 12 months. A band who you never heard before, but when you discovered them in the last year, you went wow, this is pretty damn good. For me, an Irish Band, yeah don't rag me for choosing a local crew, you all listen to U2 don't ya, BellX1, had vaguely heard of them before but didn't take them seriousily until their recent ablum "Flock".

What's so bad about the Irish? A lot of my favs are Irish - U2, Enya, the Corrs. Cheers, Vikram.

Not really a new band (I know them for 2 years) but still a very good band: Epica[^]. This is a dutch band and they play a kind of symphonic-gothic metal. Very good (there are some samples in the download section).

I know that Greenday isn't particularly new, but I first heard the group this past year, and I'm impressed. Most new music consists of headbanging noisee of low quality with unintelligible lyrics conveying no meaning whatsoever - much worse musically than Disco. But Greenday's tunes are crisply played with notable skill, and the lyrics not only make sense (most of the time) but also appear to convey a meaningful message. A lot of it is politically incorrect, but an awful lot is politically wrong in this country and I appreciate a band willing to protest. Reminds me a bit of the 70s, when Rock was about changing the world. It's about time someone took up the banner. "...a photo album is like Life, but flat and stuck to pages." - Shog9

Sensorium is a nice one. For my part, I find the songs very mature (a lot of work has been done on the 'symphonic' part also). And the voice of the singer is so nice (the female singer I mean ;) ).

:wtf: You mean that this sounds like Rammstein ? Did you listen to the same samples as I did ? :laugh:
