Really? I'd struggle to find someone who doesn't know any of these bands.TriggerUnhappy said:
Anyway, I'd say Beirut, Alela Diane, Isan, Gonjasufi and Fleet Foxes.
Being British most people at my school know these guys. I think they only have one album out at the moment but seriously check it out. Little Lion Man and the Cave are probably their best songs to understand their music.Meanmoose said:
Well, you see. I'm a non-emo Teenager. I also like Heavy Metal, but everyone around me likes rap and hip hop*. Thusly, nobody has heard of any of my favourite bands, or any metal bands at all, really, other than Metallica, and RARELY Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath.
*I must admit, I absolutely detest Hip Hop. There are a few good songs, but other than that it seems like the same three songs by several different people who know how to use a Thesaurus. But this thread isn't titled "Genres of music that you absolutely hate" so let's move on.

Porcupine Tree. It's depressing how such a brilliant and innovative band is relatively unknown.
Next to nobody I know know of the metal bands I listen to; In Flames, Children of Bodom, Dark Tranquillity, Trivium, etc.
But the one artist that nobody seems to have ever heard of is the country/metal master John 5. Guitarist for Rob Zombie, ex-guitarist for Marilyn Manson, and behind the curtains collaborator for many, many, many well known artists (KD Lang, Rod Halford, David Lee Roth, Scorpions, Nikki Sixx, Paul Stanley, Static-X, Lynyrd Skynyrd, etc.) as well as a talented solo musician, having released six albums.

A year ago I would have said the same thing, but their popularity has exploded over here in the UK recently. I'm off to see them with Alestorm in just over a week.Toaster Hunter said:
I have. They're pretty damn good.Toaster Hunter said:
For me, it's Zeromancer. They're a Norwegian band that came from the leftovers of Seigman in 1999. They only toured North America once, although they're much more popular locally.
I want them to tour the US though. They're awesome because each of their albums are different. For example, their ZZYZX album is rather mellow and soft, while their latest album The Death of Romance has a much more gothic sound to it.
I haven't heard an album that I haven't liked from them either.
Kamelot. It's ok, I know none of you will know of them. Even among metalheads they're unknown. I've also recently discovered the bands Firewind, Thunderstone, Primal Fear, Blind Guardian, Axenstar, Demons and Wizards and Epica that none of my metal loving friends have ever heard of.
Highly awesome I might say...lithiumvocals said:
