It will come out on the 21st of May, most likely - Here's a teaser on YouTube: Coat of Arms
Listen to the complete song on Myspace! Coat of Arms @ Myspace
I personally adore it, it's quite catchy.

Anyone here who listens to Nevermore? Their vocals are just extraordinary, and the guitar work is out of this world, I have a hard time picking a favourite album, they all have their qualities.

I saw the music video to their song Riot In Everyone. It has a very uplifting tune, captivating vocals and lyrics. They have a nostalgic and awesome image.

Examples- Amon Amarth- Twilight of the Thunder God
Opeth- Ghost of Perdition
It's empowering and beautiful- yet doesn't fall into the realm of heavy metal, black metal and thrash metal- which I consider appalling (I want to hear the music- not the death growls of an overweight 40 year old, bearded man).

Those are nice songs. :)
reading your thread The Most Beautiful Music, I think you would also like Nightwish when Tarja was in it.

I'm not sure how Opeth classifies as Viking Metal (is that even a real genre?
), but it's some kickass music none the less, though I'm more into their older stuff myself like My Arms your Hearse and Still Life. Listened to any of their older albums? Thoughts?

Since when are Opeth viking metal? Aren't they supposed to be Progressive/Death-Metal? :/ ....anyway, I really love Mikael Ackerfeldt's voice <3
Back then, I didn't like any of these genres either but over time, I've really grown very fond of black metal or at least more to the sub-genres than to the "real true Norwegian black metal". At first, I didn't like the growling parts either but I got used to it eventually and even started to understand most of the things they were growling in the songs.
I really hope that you won't stop trying to get into metal just because some bands include growling instead of singing into their songs. Otherwise, you will be attached to only a few genres pretty much for forever and that would be sad.
All that being said, I still don't like most of the heavy metal bands out there, at least not the old-school ones. Manowar, Iron Maiden and others are just urgh...
@Goodolcola: yes, viking metal really exists... and it sounds a lot less stupid than pirate metal :P
--------------------
Ehm, I'm pretty much into symphonic/experimental black metal right now. It basically sounds like an opera about Halloween mixed with melodic metal. It's pretty much awesome~

This is generally the type of metal that I listen to: melodic and intricate music, though still heavy (versus the randomness of thrash) and singing as opposed to growling. That being said, the singing does not have to be good- as long as its understandable.@ Goodolcola: Opeth has more or less transcended all metal genres- that is why it is so good. Nonetheless, they started as Viking and most of their pieces still are Viking Metal.
There are 2 main distinctions between Viking and other metal genres: 1) An emphasis on narrative within their pieces- usually delving into Nordic mythology. Very empowering. 2) More importantly, Viking metal employs melodic undertones beneath the outward, headbanging chords.
I'm not too keen on the 'classic' metal stuff- it's too hardcore and 'thrashy' for me.
@ Nemesis: That's exactly what my friends have said. That the growling will grow on you lol. I guess I should keep my ears open, though some of the older stuff (the examples you have listed), as well as bands like Deicide makes me cringe.
I also don't like how they have a political message
, which is quite different than the simply 'take it or leave it' narrative structure of Viking.

Oh well, each to their own, though I like to keep it simple and just call them progressive dm.
Classic metal stuff? Are you talking about the older Opeth albums, I guess Orchid and Morningrise could be considered a bit thrashy, but MYAH (and still life to some extent) is a lot like their recent stuff but with a touch of black metal (in a good way).

Need some help here:
Can someone recommend me any new bands which sound slightly bizarre/experimental with melodic or symphonic elements? Maybe some unknown band outside the U.S.A. and Europe? Metalcore, Grindcore or anything else containing the words -core is a no-go for me.

I would also like to add that the second most annoying trend (particularly in Metal) is an unbarring militant atheism...yeah we get it already, the Christians somehow screwed up Nordic culture...now shut up and play some music!!!

I am a fan of metalcore, deathcore (i guess it's a subgenre of metal... i hope) death metal, melodic death metal and viking metal (along with others outside the metal category) however if you haven't noticed i only really like subgenres of metal with screaming.
If you are willing to give them a try i would reccomend
Metalcore:
-The Devil Wears Prada (some people say they are girl metal but their new album is rather heavy compared to their earlier works)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqkRzYlhflE
- Chimaira (these guys are amazing and have some awesome... (cant think of right word) tunes?)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzv7O9siFXY
Deathcore:
- Whitechapel (I love this band and the speed the lead guy growls at is amazing. This band is known for its deep growls with its high screams)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kMCGz1EKzU&ob=av2e
Deathmetal:
- The Black Dahlia Murder (dahlia lol fits into the forums i guess =p these guys have been labeled melodic death but i beg to differ, really dark sorta sound but i love it)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgxAaCjsYq0
Melodic Death Metal:
- Destroy Destroy Destroy (my latest finding and their riffs and melodies are just pure esctacy to my ears... must listen)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQMN79u8 ... x=6&fmt=18
Viking Metal/Folk Metal:
- Equilibrium (love their tune and even though they scream in another language i just love that folk/viking style)

Oh my goodness, YES. Nighwish is amazing. I was pretty sad about them firing Tarja and all, and I don't like Anette as much as her, but the album blew me away. Awesomeness.
