Scott Burns is the producer, dude did most Florida/US death metal in the early 90s. Some people see it to a fault, as a lot of the albums really sound similar, but personally that's my favorite sound for that style. I think the only one I don't dig is Exhorder's Slaughter In The Vatican because they deliberately changed their sound to try and match Sepultura's Beneath The Remains. The album sounds fine but if you listen to their second album The Law it's fuckin killerI need tips on more albums with this sound and production

Lantlos - .neon (for something along the lines of Alcest. Same vocalist on this album)Hi guys! I'm not really a metal guy, but looking for some recommendations. I'm looking for metal bands that aren't solely the screaming/grunting vocal style (no offense, just not for me) - more melodic but still metal.
Two not-really-metal bands I love are TOOL and AFI - good melodic vocals with occasional screams on top of sometimes soft, slow instrumentals with huge bursts of heavy sonic awesomeness. So I'm looking for something along those lines but... more metal I guess.
I'm also really, really digging Alcest which I've seen a few people mention. Right up my alley. This Kodama album is amazing.
So melodic metal I guess? Or "art metal?" I don't know.
Kind of vague and somewhat disparate preferences, I know, but can anyone recommend a band or two?

Lantlos and Alcest are both what's considered Blackgaze (a mix of black metal and shoegaze). A lot of the bands in that style end up ditching the black metal after an album or two (Lantlos did, Alcest actually came back with Kodama). You might dig the band Deafheaven and their album Sunbather. I don't like them at all but they are easily the most popular in that area at the momentThanks!
Loving Lantlos. This is what I'm looking for I think.
I haven't listened to Faith No More since Epic. Liking what I'm hearing, though looking for more stuff along the lines of Alcest/Lantlos. I think I threw you off with AFI.
Devin Townsend - Not bad, maybe a little slicker than what I'm looking for production-wise though.

And yeah I thought from AFI/Tool you were looking for some...I guess "alternative" sounding stuff as well. Modern AFI draws from a lot of post-punk type stuff (which does have crossover with shoegaze). It's not really metal but you could check out 80's post-punk shit like Killing Joke. Their album Night Time is one of my favorites

Alright people, the Bolt Thrower void has been filled by the only people who could have only done it: Karl Willets and Andy Whale. So good to hear Andy Whale back on drums since leaving Bolt Thrower. Old school fucking tank rolling death metal. Full length album "For The Fallen" will be released in March.
Memoriam - Reduced To Zero
Memoriam - Resistance
Memoriam - War Rages On

I posted this in the "these songs start the same" thread but it also belongs in this thread:
"Reminds me of this opening riff:
Venom
Iron Maiden
Mercyful Fate
Helloween
"
Memoriam sounds exactly like Bolt Thrower but seeing as there was probably never going to be another Bolt Thrower album that's fine with me. Listening to Andrew Whale drum again after all these years is awesome. He's the best part of old school Bolt Thrower if you ask me. The drumming on The IVth Crusade is flawless.
A new Cranial Engorgement song dropped and it's sick. This album is going to slay. Those John Gallagher are making me want a new Dying Fetus album!
Two minutes to midnight riff has many variations from bands of that era, I'd argue NWOBHM most famous riff, it is like the village bike, passed around a bunch and made most famous by Iron Maiden
]I'll take that riff over some sweeping 200 bpm tech-death bullshit any day of the week! [/B]
I just think it's cool that there won't be loads of people losing their jobs now.Yay?

I'll take that riff over some sweeping 200 bpm tech-death bullshit any day of the week! The era of cramming as many notes into a single song as possible is dead.
You'll take 200+ bpm over my cold dead body.
How can less be more? It's impossible.
Recently supported Ne Obliviscaris's patreon. Curious what people's thoughts are on the model?
Downloaded Hiraeth and From Sarabande to Nihil:
In summary both albums reminded me what I love about NeO whilst clearly not being on the same plane as either studio albums. As far as off-cuttings go, I'm still glowing to have either in my collection.
I'm behind the general idea but I think the payout right now doesn't add up. So according to them the idea is to have a stable income to be able to make music full time and to increase the amount of money that goes directly to them instead of to the label. Awesome!Recently supported Ne Obliviscaris's patreon. Curious what people's thoughts are on the model?
