KSE will never top Alive or Just Breathing.
I kind of wish that Jesse Leach didn't start Seemless because it dulls the bright talent I always thought he possessed.
Howard Jones is a capable vocalist but I just can't get into any of his stuff even despite how goddamn catchy Rose of Sharyn is. I had the same problem with Blood Has Been Shed. I just don't like his style.
Adam D is becoming a one trick pony with his productions. Every album that he does sounds exactly like a big full KSE production. Even the murkiness of The Acacia Strain's last one had a certain KSE aesthetic. He's really good at capturing live performances, like Norma Jean's Bless the Martyr. I wish he'd do something like that again.
You know, with the soaring popularity of Shadows Fall and KSE, no one knows who Overcast was and that's a real crime.

Check out "Cynic".
But, then again, I would assume you've already heard this cd. Great stuff though.

I already linked you to Byzantine's new track last night. 
That's all I got right now ...
Wait. Lemme think.
Age of Silence. They're okay. On The End Records.
Agathodaimon. I sent you a track before. Look into them more.
Callenish Circle. Good melo-death stuff.
You check that band Tunnels out yet?
Poets of the Fall, if you can get into MySpace.

I second the Callenish Circle recomendation. Damn good band.
System Shock (melo-death)
Chain Collector (sorta melo-death w/o the growls)
Kamelot (power)
Kalmah (melo-death)
Forefather (pagan)
Stronghold (the Pittsburgh power/progressive band - you may not be able to find any of their stuff though)
Beyond the Embrace (melo-death/metalcore....my favorite band)
Haste the Day (metalcore)
Heaven Shall Burn (german metalcore)
Divercia (I guess they'd be considered gothic, but good nonetheless)
Can't think of anything else right now.
BTW, good call on Pyramaze. I'm digging the couple tracks I heard by them.

I brought out Age of Quarrel and Best Wishes the other day. I love that band.HumanTarget said:
Kalmah is great, better than COB. I remember that you linked a Forefather mp3 awhile back, good shit. Heaven Shall Burn was okay, their new CD is not so good. I like older Divercia more than the new one. Haste the Day is just...I don't know. Too much Zao lust for me.
alphaIII, spinx06, majutsu, I'll check that shit out sometime this weekend.
Thanks everyone.
Mouth of Wilson. Acoustic rock act.
Saw these dudes lastnight at a small bar near Trenton.

Which Heaven Shall Burn album do you like best? I really like Antigone, but I haven't checked out any of the older ones.
As far as Haste the Day, they are definitely Zao-like, but for whatever reason, even though I don't like Zao, I can get into Haste the Day. Unfortunately, their songs are typically a little too short, and the lyrics aren't very awe-inspiring, actually even a little trite at times, but they're better than alot of the metalcore out there.

As far as I'm concerned, Weezer doesn't exist after Pinkerton. Blue/Pinkerton so good, rest so...so...not good. Great song choice.
No likey most Guns n Roses. I have what I need from them. Axl needs AIDS. Chinese Democracy will never be released. I'm kind of thinking that that is actually the concept behind the album.
I love me some Queens. Oddly enough, Burning Witch is a really good band.

CKY is okay. I like their first one more than their second one. Seven Mary Three reminds me of my childhood, haha.
Stone Temple Pilots (anything by them...) - Not anything. Core and Purple are good. Everything else was just so meh.
Metallica (anything pre 'Load') - First four are classics. Rest, eh, not so much.
Disturbed - That Believe song was kind of okay, that's about it.
Joe Satriani - Good in moderation. I'd rather watch him live than actually listen to him.
Queens of the Stone Age - Consistently good.
Scorpions - Guilty pleasure maybe.
first two Pearl Jam cd's - Ahhh, come on. Their third is the best thing they ever put out. Everything after that is pretty blah though.
Linkin Park - Paper Cut is the only song I can tolerate and even that tends to grate on the nerves after a while.
M. Manson - His best song is a cover of I Put a Spell on You. No likey the rest of his disco.
Tea Party - Holy Canada Batman, haha. Does anyone besides me even know of these dudes in the States?
Velvet Revolver - Haven't checked out yet. Too much hype. Too much G n' R. Too much radio rock.
Janes Addiction - Nothing's Shocking and Ritual de lo Habitual are great. The comeback album should've stayed in the vaults.
Keep 'em coming.

I have a pirate radio station...and I do a SKA show on local radio. Here's what I would recommend:
Slackers (best album is "better late than never")
Tom Waits
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes
Beastie Boys (anything)
Johnny Cash
NOFX/Rancid (punk)
Transplants
Joe Satriani
Queens of the Stone Age
If you like RAP:
Tupac
Outkast
DRE (2001 is good)
Eminem (Eminem show or Marshal Mathers LP)
If you like Dance:
Captain Jack
Paul Oakenfeld
Slackers (best album is "better late than never")
Tom Waits

Beastie Boys (anything)
Johnny Cash

Slackers (best album is "better late than never") - No heard. Will look into it.
Tom Waits - Tolerable to a point. Good songwriter for the most part.
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - Guilty pleasure.
Beastie Boys (anything) - Last two, not so good. Everything before that is decent.
Johnny Cash - No one under the age of 40 actually likes Johnny Cash. They just say they do to because music critics told them they'd lose cool points if they didn't. I will admit that Folsom is essential.
NOFX/Rancid (punk) - NOFX has their moments. Rancid has no moments. I hate that band with a passion.
Transplants - Negative.
Joe Satriani - I've answered this one.
Queens of the Stone Age - "
If you like RAP:
Tupac - Most Tupac is good but he's not the untouchable golden child of rap that most make him out to be.
Outkast - Andre's shit is good.
DRE (2001 is good) - Good beats, horrible wordsmith. Guess that's why he needs a ghostwriter.
Eminem (Eminem show or Marshal Mathers LP) - His first one is great, everything after that not so much.
If you like Dance:
Captain Jack - No heard but I think I'll be taking a pass on this.
Paul Oakenfeld - Good in spots. Popular electronica gets real boring real quick.
So on the Ska show, do you play any Catch-22 or Folly? That's about the only ska that I can stand. I'm in the Propagandhi Ska Sucks boat.
Tom Waits - Tolerable to a point. Good songwriter for the most part.
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - Guilty pleasure.

I have to say that most newer ska sucks ass. They're all just carbon copies of the same bad music. I prefer older stuff for the most part (1960s - 1985). Catch-22 has some ok stuff. In my experience you don't have to like ska to like the Slackers. I'm 29 and I love Johnny Cash...fuck music critics, I just go by what I like. Oh...and with Tom Waits, you just have to find the gems.

I can stand Operation Ivy but I can't get into Rancid. Go figure.
I like a few Waits albums but I really have to be in the mood for it and if I'm in that mood I seem to put something on instead like Idaho or likeminded sadcore.
Eh, you're at the age of reason for Cash though. You've lived enough life to get at his message. I went to a party and this sixteen year old girl was telling me how Cash was all over her playlists. I was like, "No. No no no no. No. No no. NO."

I've never been into Dream Theater. Great musicians but they sound so sterile.
Pantera is good. I like all their stuff except the hair metal shit. I even like Reinventing. Imagine that.
Sepultura's best album is Chaos AD. Everything worked so well. Roots is a little too nu metal.
Not a fan of the BLS.
Collective Soul. I haven't heard that name in years. I actually own the big one.
Skidrow. Wow. Old school to the max duder.
Ozzy is hit or miss. I like I just Want You a ton though.
Tool is good. Their fans make it hard to like them though.
No on the Velvet Revolver. I might break down one day and check them out on a rainy day.
No heard Andy Timmons. Will check out.
Eric Johnson's guitar tone and playing is flawless. Manhattan, so good.
Like I said, Metallica: first four are classic. Everything is just so...ugh.
I like Bucket Head. Machete is his finest moment.

Flah my man, check out this new band: Deadlock.
http://www.lifeforcerecords.com/ecarddeadlock.htm
Sounds like ... Heaven Shall Burn vocals (as well as some nice female vox too) with Dark Tranquillity music, with some Dimmu-like symphonics thrown in.
