Edit: Oh and... Pelican - City Of Echoes

Thanks for this. Been wanting some music that kicks ass. I would like metal more if the vocals (shouting) didn't usually suck and since this is instrumental...

Been realizing lately that my vast playlist is littered with way too much wimpy crap. Time to do some weeding and get back to basics.

Tori Amos - Abnormally Attracted to Sin

Band Of Horses -- Infinite Arms

Thanks! Didn't know they had a new one out!

I'm 12 years old and what is this?

If you liked Pelican I'd also recommend Russian Circles, My Sleeping Karma, Red Sparowes, Wiht, TotorRo, Sleep and Zebulon Pike for mainly instrumental stuff. I don't tend to like growling vocals much myself so you might like Shrinebuilder, Gomer Pyle, WhiteBuzz, or Ancestors. That's kind of a varied list as it takes in a bit of stoner, doom and sludge.

and the coma-chi crush continues:

Prefer the original beat though, but youtube is lacking.

I listened to Porcupine Tree the entire way down to Richmond and back...you know, that sequence of "Anesthetize"/"Sentimental"/"Way Out Of Here" may be my favorite half hour of any of their records, excluding anything off Sky Moves Sideways or Stupid Dream.

Roky Erickson with Okkervil River -- True Love Cast Out All Evil

Sonata Arctica - Reckoning Night

The Flaming Lips - Embryonic

Warren Zevon - Learning To Flinch

Checked out Russian Circles, Red Sparowes, and My Sleeping Karma. Great stuff, thanks! Especially love MSK.

Any stuff like this out there with good female vocals?
