Die So Fluid

A top quality band from the part of metal-land where heavy rock is visible in the distance. Their third album doesm't contain a single song I dislike. I even painted my room to it.

Probably anything Mike Patton related, my fave being Mr.Bungle. Also English prog group Frost* are completely mind blowing.

Also why does everyone go on about the MoS guys music it's the same songs every week...

One of my favorite bands of all time is a New York-based funk rock band called King Hell. One of their two lead singers is mildly internet-famous due to his YouTube videos("Don't be retarded. Listen to King Hell!"), but the band as a whole isn't exactly well-known. They cite early Metallica and Parliament as their biggest influences, and it shows in their music, since the bass lines are clearly funk-centric while the guitar riffs are more reminiscent of 1980s hair metal. Both of the lead singers are fantastic and their harmony is wonderful. Overall, there's nothing else like them and they're just damn good. So don't be retarded. Listen to King Hell!


Yes, I'm plugging them shamelessly. They deserve it.

These guys are rediculously talented, it's a crime they aren't bigger than they are.

Pretty much everything I listen to is fairly unknown (I'm so hipster...)
I can't really pick a favorite since that largely depends on my mood, but I guess my favorites at the moment would be

I wouldn't call them unpopular or obscure, but out of 50 people that I tell them about, only 1 or 2 know them.

Ratatat.

They are fucking awesome.

Anarchy Club. I know they had the song "Get Clean" featured in Rock Band 2, but beyond that they seem to have got no real attention. "Get Clean" is a song from their most recent album, The Art of War. They have two other albums as well: The Way and its Power and A Single Drop of Red. Both albums are excellent, and you can probably examine the meaning behind a lot of the music if you are so inclined.

"Get Clean" is an absurdly easy example due to the opening lyrics; the song is basically about the Holocaust, but it's not done in poor taste. Their musical style is very unusual, because "Shaolin" sounds completely different, and then "Behind the Mask" sounds different as well. I'd say their most unusual track is "Changing of the Guard", because it's more of a monologue than anything else. They're like nothing else I've ever heard, but in the best sense.

Did someone really post Foster the People on the front page? Jeez. Didn't they just win a VMA?


Atari Teenage Riot, Alec Empire, Amon Amarth, Electric Hellfire Club, Front 242, KMFDM, just to name a few. I listen to a lot of undergroundish music.

Tin Hat (Trio). don't know how known, or rather, little known they are, but flash gamers might remember their song that was used as the intro to TriAchnid:
