Imaginary Flying Machine

FUCKING AWESOME JMETAL. wait.. what? yea. its basically a concept album that is japanese death trance metal covers of (awesome) songs taken from the Studio Ghibli films (such as spirited away, my neighbor totoro, princess mononoke, etc) I am most pleased with this.

2011 - Princess Ghibli

Amogh Symphony

Another /mu/ find, " instrumental technical/progressive death metal, with lots of electronic interludes ", I look at it as if the flashbulb made death metal, granted that its totally over the top at points its still extra sexy.

2009 - Abolishing The Obsolete System

Visceral Evisceration

Some melodeath/doom metal I found on /mu/. Ridiculous lyrics but I can totally get behind this.

1994 - Incessant Desire for Palatable Flesh

Seventh Void

doom metal, laziest post evar.

2009 - Heaven is Gone

Type O Negative

Cause why the hell isn't this on here already.

Type O is an awesome gothic/doom metal band from brooklyn. I think every song has something to do with fucking. Emphasis on "I think". Regardless they have put out some of the best music I have come across. Check out the song September Sun for a sample but all their albums are sweet.

Dream Theater

For the first real post, I'm gonna bring up one of my favorite bands, Dream Theater. Ever since I've started listening to them I can't seem to get enough. All the members went to some fancy music school or other, and it shows. They play the shit out of their instruments and it melds together into an awesome sound. Each album has a slightly different sound to it as well which keeps the music sounding fresh (unlike some bands like Evergray that sound exactly the same always, but I'll get to them later). From the opera-esque album "Metropolis Pt, 2: Scenes from a Memory" to the heavier sounds of "Train of Thought" they always manage to sound fucking awesome. They also have a history of covering other bands, and while I'm not quite sure how I feel about that, as they have their own unique sound and when they apply it to other songs it doesn't always work out in my opinion, those shits are still beast. Listen to the medleys they arranged on "A Change of Seasons" if you don't believe me. I highly recommend everyone check them out.

EDIT: New DT album out and added. ADTOE is awesome.
