Recommendations for a heavy metal fan?

[Rod Savage]

Hey all,
I'm just now getting into electronic music. I was wondering if you all had any song or artist recommendations for someone who is a heavy metal fan. I like all sorts of metal from the hard and heavy songs to the more melodic stuff.

I've been told by many that I would enjoy dubstep (and I have so far) so any suggestrions in that genre would be awesome but I want to explore the entire spectrum of electronic music.

I recommend you dont do it

 

[yucatanboy2]

Do you like any other genres?

Look at industrial? For example: KMFDM's remix of Rammstein - Du Reicht so gut

What about drum and bass?

(Pendulum is a pretty big name in drum and bass, but not necessarily a representation of most drum and bass)

Dillinja - Grimey

I'm sure everyone could suggest their favorite artists or genres, you just gotta listen around and find some djs you like and we can then give more specific recommendations.

do you have an example of a song or dj you like?

If you like the bass in dubstep, definitely check out drum and bass, as well as breakbeats and fidget/glitch house/bass house. For example:

Aaren san - Osc Low Nyzz (Blende remix)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3-MNC9DEv4

AC slater - jack got jacked (jack beats remix)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXqgnwyDlUE&feature=related

Kidda - under the sun (Herve mix)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kTaTJeni7w

Dj Fast eddie - yo yo get funky (deekline and healey remix)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Sbf9xPZjJQ

Some of the artists i have enjoyed so far are Rusko, Skrillex, Flux Pavillion, Bassnectar. But I'm really open to all sorts of genres, the main thing I'm trying to get out of this thread is some music that has similar elements of heavy metal whether it be similar rhythmic patterns, similar key tonalities, the same intensity level or just just any sort of electronic music that some of you heavy metal fans have liked. Also, since I'm a fan of melodic metal too, I tend to be drawn to any sort of music with nice harmonies or cool melodies.

Thanks everyone for your input. I'm really eager to dig into all this music

A lot of people into metal seem to like psytrance as well. I think due to the techincallity and intensiveness of tracks.

full on psytrance
Earthling - The Catalyst

dark psytrance
Paralocks - Time Paradox

 

[miasma]

definitely check out some psytrance with guitars - Dark Soho, S.U.N Project &c

or this Juno Reactor remix of killing joke

[|>R()|)!G/-\|_]

The mention of Killing Joke made me salivate. It also made me think to recommend Pop Will Eat Itself.

The Blood of Heroes. Dark drum-n-bass/metal. Bill Laswell, Justin Broadrick on guitar. Amazing album, deserves a bigger following.

i used to be all about carcass, cannibal corpse deicide, obituary etc...

and then^^^^something like that bangs into both sides of your head-heheh
you create the energy, not they, its your decision to interpret, as their truly are no words to describe the emotion...

the same circumstances as with classical.


what StarOcean said about Psy-trance/Goa is true.

Xenomorph Dexterous Convolutions
MFG - New Kind of World
