This is a thread in my attempt to add life to this section This thread is to show off bands you know that might interest others, just a few ground rules though
1. Try to make sure that you don't do a band that is already up
2. Opinions about bands are welcomed (gives other people a more varied idea about them)
3. Try to note the genre of the band (I know this might annoy some people )
4. expanding on rule 3, have the band set like this

This band is a very chilled out band and got a lot more heavier in their later albums, certainly recommended for people who appreciate lighter stuff (crap review I know but yeah)
A remarkable yet tragically under-rated doom band. Fans of Candlemass know what to expect, mid/slow tempo crushing riffs and highly operatic male vocals. Strongly recommended for metalheads, doomsters and any fan of mid tempo music.
A brilliant little pop-punk band on Asian Man (which is totally cool). They're alot like the Ramones, only less edgy. Punk for the fun of it, and whatnot. They recently released a new album which I have yet to listen to, but I'm sure it's just as sweet as the rest of their music. If not, I'll cry and stuff.
Total whoring for the sake of getting this band a bit more around but yeah I've seen them live and even got a demo off them (in my opinion some demo stuff totally kicks the ass of some "albums") but yeah they have an album coming up soon enough which I would like to see
A thrash band I hear about lots but recently discovered. Mix a little of Metallica, Artillery, Forbidden and some Megadeth and Xentrix is what you'll have. Very Bay Area-ish sound they have going it's a surprise they're from the UK.

Don't forget to add a dash of Ray Parker Jr, Xentrix's Ghostbusters cover for the win!
Remind me of Xentrix a fair bit actually, and very influenced by the bay-area sound. The 1st 2 albums 'Mayhemic Destruction' and 'Face of Despair' are their best, the 3rd album is a little poor so tend to avoid that (the only original member was the bassist). Got a new album coming out April/May, and is sounding pretty good going off what I've heard of it live. Songs to check out: Lebanon, I Am Immortal
An odd little BM band formed by Thyrfing drummer Jocke (although he handles guitar/bass/vocals here and not the drums), they play a melancholic and slightly epic form of black metal. Heavily influenced by both the french style (Belenos and early Mystic Forest come to mind) and the more midtempo norwegian bands, but I wouldn't call them clones of any one band in particular. Almost no blastbeast, lots of flowing midpaced guitar lines, background synths and low, throaty vocals: This is some easily listenable BM that no-one could accuse of being mainstream.
They've only released one album, Doomsdaylight, and it's pretty good, although not without one flaw: Namely that the same type of drum fill, a tom roll followed by a snare roll, keeps popping up in different songs.
