Your favorite lesser known band

[SeeIn2D]

I'll assume this also means favorite lesser known group/artist, not just exclusively band. So I will say Approaching Nirvana. Some guys on youtube who make awesome new era music.

April Divine used to be known as Starfuck. Instantly makes it a cool band in my book.

Spoiler: Holy Light of Demons. As far as i can tell though, they only have three music videos -tributes to Ash of Evil Dead fame, Starship Troopers, and the Dark Knight himself.

Spoiler: The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets, a Cthulhu mythos tribute band.

Based on the very scientific "Asked some guys I know£ method, Lords of Acid don't seem that well known.

I am a big fan of The PanSexuals. Their blend of hiphop/rock/funk is absolutely ridiculous. And their lead singer is one of my favorite voice actors!

Streetlight Manifesto, literally my all-time favorite band.

Gojira for me. French Death Metal Band. They are known well in the metal community, but not mentioned often. The the rest of the world, they are very small.

My band is one that actually is popular now, but wasn't at all when I started liking them. I first heard their song "There is No Business to be Done on a Dead Planet" while looking up FoF Drum charts on Youtube, and I liked it, so I looked their band up on Youtube and listened to "The Last Relapse" and since I heard that song, they've been my favorite band.

I've been a huge fan of theirs since shortly after they released their second album (their first one wasn't very good, but every one since has been a masterpiece). Their most recent album received metal-critic.blogspot.com's first 10/10 rating ever.

Beside's them, my favorite artist is Buckethead. All I can say is that he a virtuoso like no other. Listen and you won't be disppointed. I can honestly say there is no other artist like him in the world.

Not all of it though, they've changed over the years but the majority is great!

I like them too! I just didn't list them because I figured they weren't "lesser known". I have no idea what is and isn't...

They aren't, he shouldn't have posted that here.

Tarot. It's criminal that they're not more famous after a quarter of a century spent making amazing music.

Bugger it, ninja'd. I'm not such a fan of Gravity of Light, but Suffer Our Pleasures is goddammned amazing.

Celldweller all the way, great music.
