And don't listen to what the sheep out there might say, Lacuna Coil was doing that style long before Amy Lee and that Effervesence band were doing it.

There are uncanny similarities between Lacuna Coil and Evanescence, though...

i noticed that but i like lacuna coil alot more,a certain edge i cant put my finger on,but its a cut above thats for sure.

I must say man i definately learned to be more open minded after this thread,I wasnt expecting this from death metal at all,I was expecting hard loud noise,this is art

cannibal corpse

Barnes was Cannibal Corpse. Once he left, it was like Carcass without Jeff Walker.

I think what turns people off from this music genre in general, besides its reputation, is that there really is lots of crap and disharmonic noise in the scene. One really has to be able to differentiate the talent from the crap. The problem here is that it's all considered underground, thus the shit band recording on a 4-track in their basement is as easy to find and hear as the quality stuff put out by actual musicians. Only by magazines/fanzines and word of mouth is one able to find what's good out there. Personally, I won't buy something (with very few exceptions) that I haven't heard or read about from a trusted source. Luckily, the internet and boards like this make it easier. Flah from the music board has introduced me to a lot of new stuff (I've been out of the scene since '01), and we traded a couple discs through mail and such (since I'm computer illiterate and don't have any Kazaa or online music program or anything).

Classic Bad Religion is one of the few punk bands I absolutely love. Suffer and No Control are godly, and Stranger Than Fiction is still one of my favorites.

That, and Greg Graffin has a PhD from the Ivy League school Cornell. (Although his dissertation, comparitably speaking, is a joke... I still give him props for doing the whole B.S. UCLA, M.S. somewhere and PhD Cornell while doing Bad Religion at the same time.)
