Welcome to Gaia! ::

Haha, yeah you eventually get used to the growling (<- technical word, screaming is more high pitched in Metal). I used to really dislike it back when I only listened to hard rock/nu metal, until I found out about Silent Civilian, who are Metalcore, and then ended up really liking them and got used to their growls. I then started looking around for bands that sounded like them, got into Bullet for my Valentine, Killswitch Engage, All That Remains... etc etc, and yeah now I actually like the growling.

Hah! Electric Fetus, I like the name! There are so many underground bands/musicians with weird random names like that. So, opened to suggestions, but not much growling, hm? *thinks* You could start with the obvious System of a Down and Disturbed, if you don't already listen to them. I really like Element Eighty as well, Slackjaw's just plain great if you ask me but the singer growls a lot on that one. You might like Submersed, they're lighter than Element Eighty on their music/vocals. These bands mainly Nu Metal though, with Submersed being more Hard Rock/Alternative Metal I think. If you want to try out some Metalcore, here's a few personal recommandations:
-Silent Civilian (one of my favorite bands)
-Bullet for my Valentine
-Haste the Day
-In This Moment (Yes yes, that's a girl singing/screaming)
-Unearth

Of course, Metalcore is rougher than Nu Metal, but not as rough as Melodic Death metal. There's some growling and screaming, just not as much.

Ahh... I used to have the whole Fox thingies, but I sold them when I stopped using them. I realized I was more of a lizard boy than a kitsune. XP

Just a quick post to remind people I would like them to post soon. 3nodding I've posted so there's no excuse now. razz

No favorite bands or anything? Think of it like this. If there was a concert and tickets were really expensive, what bands would you still dole the cash out for? That's generally how I think of it. Actually had to use that last October, too.

Xaimee: Hai! I'll try to post before Wednesday. I can't garantee anything (I gots a job nao), but I have to post in all my RPs and I don't want to make anyone wait on me forever again, so yeah. =o

Thaedrian: Emergency Break, nice. I personally like Iwrestledabearonce (yes, writen like that) for band names. They're one heck of an Avant-Garde band too!

If you love Bullet for my Valentine, chances are you're going to really love Silent Civilian. They have two albums out already: the first one is pretty good and worth the listen, but it's their second album that's just plain awesome. Definitively their best. As for long names, there's this Canadian Nu band, Evans Blue, whose two previous albums had lengthy names. "The Melody and Energetic Nature of Volume" is the first, "The Pursuit Begins When this Portrayal of Life Ends" is their second album. I had to look up the names to make sure I didn't mess up somewhere. XD

Yeah! In This Moment's really good. I still prefer The Agonist in terms of female lead vocalists, but they're really good. I really <3 metal bands with female vocalists as their lead singer.

Well, for the genres, after listening to a lot of band you usually get to know which subgenre sounds like what. Also, wikipedia helped a lot when I started getting into the metal stuff. XD
But yeah, now I can reconize subgenres just by listening to them. I'm not always right, some genres are weird or some bands have more than one subgenres, but I'm usually fairly accurate.

No, I'm not really a skin stuff kinda guy. I like my avatar the way it is even if I've had it like this since the beginning of time. XD

Souly: That's pretty good! All genres mixed together? My music collection's ~35Gb, but half of it is Rock/Metal and the other half's video game music... XD

Rather silent in the topic... Can people remember to post soon?

Good good. Hopefully everyone else is working on them too. 3nodding
