    So I was looking at my playlist (which is already 6 months old) and thought that I needed some new music, hence the purpose of this thread. If you're going to suggest, please try to stay within the genres I say, though I accept very, very good stuff from certain genres I'm not very fond of.

    Favorite Bands:

    1. Dragonforce
    2. Nirvana
    2. Marilyn Manson
    3. Manic Street Preachers
    3. Godspeed You! Black Emperor
    4. Interpol
    5. Kaiser Chiefs
    6. Rage Against the Machine
    6. Gravenhurst
    6. Bloc Party

    I love these bands:

    Thrice
    Type O Negative
    Smashing Pumpkins
    Radiohead
    Sigur Rós
    Metallica
    Motorhead
    Au Revoir Simone
    Blasted Mechanism
    Blur

    Bands I really like:

    Arcade Fire
    Coldplay
    Gorillaz
    My Bloody Valentine
    Mercury Rev
    The White Stripes
    Alter Bridge
    DJ Tiesto

    Bands I like:

    Linkin Park
    Zebrahead
    Sons and Daughters
    Black Eyed Peas
    Pre-1999 AFI
    Snow Patrol

    Bands that are mediocre:

    Korn
    Slipknot
    My Chemical Romance
    3 Doors Down


    As you can see, some of my favourite genres are among alternative rock, from britpop to post-rock, grunge, etc. I also like good Heavy Metal and some electronic. I'm getting somehow into Indie Pop (e.g. Au Revoir Simone), so I might like some you suggest.

    I would rather avoid such as Pop, Punk, Country, Hip-Hop, Rap, and the like.

    That's all. Suggest :)

    HIM is a rock band from Finland formed in 1991 by vocalist Ville Valo, guitarist Mikko Lindström, and bassist Mikko Paananen.[1] They have released six full length albums to date. As of 2008, they are the first and only Finnish band to go Gold in the United States.

    That one :)
    Ville valo is leader <3

    Downloading all since I couldn't find any good quality youtube videos, it didn't even return a thing when I typed Phestur =/

    Already tried these and nothx.

    I've listened to Halo from SOiL and it's officially approved with a goncalo seal of quality =)


    I've listened to Firewind - Breaking the Silence and it definitely doesn't go easy on my ears.

    You might have a hard time with Phestur, they're pretty much unheard of.

    Oh yeah, also listen to Article Eleven, Three Quarter Nelson, and Davey XO, though Davey XO is a bit pop punk ish.
