Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

General BS forum I guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much. |

Bands you didn't know existed...
Anyone a fan of a local or underground band? There are tons of bands out there with real talent who will never be heard because they aren't what the media deems "radio friendly" for whatever reason. If you have a band that deserves to be heard, please post it with a short description of what they play.
For instance...
Turbid North. I grew up with these guys in North Pole, AK and even opened for them a couple times back in the day. They are considered Alaska's premiere metal act, although they now reside in the Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX area and have picked up some new members, Brian McCoy from Debri and Chris O'Toole from England. They originally had a strong Pantera influence, but have changed thier musical direction significantly, often leaning toward darker influences such as black metal, sludge and even a little bit of psychedelic. Listen to "The Hunter", the solo is phenomenal! Nick really nailed it on that one. Last time I talked with Adam (Rydlinski), they have been talking with Relapse Records, which would be great. They have earned it, if you ask me. They've worked VERY hard for it.
Opeth. Another amazing band you won't see on MTV or on any radio station. Very progressive, very original and very diversified. They can be loosely classified as a metal band from Sweden with jazz influences. They are one of the few bands who can go from a winding, melodic riff into all out death metal to a melodic clean riff and then break out into a jazz influences solo that has much emotion as David Gilmour and not seem the least bit awkward transitioning. Truly an amazing band and every album is unique.
Necrophagist. One for the hardcore metal fans. These guys are insane! Pure, rip your face off, technical death metal from Germany. No real frills here. Its fast and brutal. Mohammed Sucimez is just downright scary. I don't even know how to describe his style, but he has great feeling for a death metal guitarist and knows his way around the harmonic minor and diminished scale. Great listen if you're into bands like Cannibal Corpse or Death.
Dream Theater. This is why you don't give nerds instruments. These guys studied music at Berkley and they excel in it. More of a progressive hard rock/power metal act. Not a weak link in the band, but James LeBrie's vocals take a bit of getting used to, but he can belt it for sure. One listen to the epic, 24 minute song, "A Change Of Seasons" and you can see how truly talented these guys are.
Between The Buried And Me. Might not count because they've gotten some decent media attention, but they are ridiculous! I can't make sense of these guys. They are the definition of why its call music "theory". Metal for sure, but what the heck is up with that random pirate sea shanty? Weird bunch of guys.
Anywho, what are some worthwhile bands to listen to in your opinion? Something you won't really hear on the radio. I don't want mainsteam. I want REAL music. It doesn't matter the genre. Please share.
