Anyone Know of Any Good Progressive/Black Metal Bands?

[skorpx1]

So lately I was listening to music as always and I stumbled upon something very strange. It was a video of a guy doing the gallon of milk in an hour challenge and in the suggestions I saw this. -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DULdEgVgY8&list=FLrE3CA5Rw_rspKARI-5JuzQ&index=3

Turns out it was a half-decent Progressive/Black metal band. I like the stuff but I don't really know where I should start looking for this kind of music. If anyone knows about some of these bands i'll gladly compensate you with an internet cookie for your time.

No joke. Internet cookies are up for grabs here.

Seriously guys.
I'm serious right now.
Omg guys.
Seriously.
Internet cookie.

Good stuff, yet Iv'e never heard of them. I wouldn't consider that progressive/black metal but it sure is good.

Interesting. I think the mix of clean/dirty vocals was a nice part of the song along with adding a female vocalist. Very rarely does that happen in metal. Overall the song was good, video was slightly strange.

Dimmu Borgir is definitely strange...

If you like female vocalists and more mainstream metal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aa5BUDKgzRQ

Agalloch is pretty big in the American black metal scene, I think it may have something like what you're going for. It's not super proggy but it's definitely not as lo fi as a lot of black metal is
I'm not really into black metal (I mean I don't seek it out like I do other kinds of music) but it's one of the few strands of metal I really enjoy when I do listen to it.

If you're into the dirty/clean vocals, you may dig this...  The band is "Straight Line Stitch".  I've seen them live, and this chick will rock your face off.

Awesome! I nominate this for the "best thread since the Mayan Apocalypse" award.

That worked, much better than the white page with silence I had before I like it.

That's some good stuff. Black metal definitely is a very enjoyable genre of music. Its a shame that most people overlook it. Its not the "hail Satan, do meth" stuff that people make it out to be. Oh well, nothing can ever be perfect.

Wasn't expecting Jamey in that. Total blast to the face with a shotgun. Good sound and that's a nice mix with the vocals.

That is quite the nomination. I think we all deserve a medal or something up in here.


Also, I found a good band myself. Has a mix of clean/dirty vocals and the music doesn't sound forced or too overbearing.

And a good band with a female vocalist. I'm sure most of you have heard of this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwTv45OW5Yw

If you thought that was good, you gotta check out some of their other songs. Maria Brink is one hell of a lady.

I know that I wouldn't mind meeting her.
