Underrated/Overlooked[views:26152][posts:112]_____________________________________ [Oct 13,2012 10:48am - trioxin245 ""] First off let me just define what I mean by underrated to avoid long-winded arugments about nothing. Underrated/overlooked = bands that stand out to you as being particularly good that you dont hear much mention of, and not just becaue theyre super kvlt. Off the top of my bored head: Fermento, Cadaver, Black Mass of Absu, In Slaughter Natives, Dr Shrinker, Mystifier, Abigail, Cement, Dead, Killing Joke. All i got for now. |

| ____________________________________________ [Oct 13,2012 11:01am - MikeofDecrepitude ""] Lycia |
| _________________________________ [Oct 13,2012 11:05am - Burnsy ""] Age of Silence, Oranssi Pazuzu, Infestus, Dødheimsgard. Also Nightbringer. I'm always surprised when I find myself having to introduce Nightbringer to friends that are into black metal. Figured they'd be a household name in black metal by this point. |

Bands that noone knows because of being kvlt dont fit the description of being underrated. Oh and shoes COME OVER BRAH |
| ____________________________________________ [Oct 13,2012 11:21am - MikeofDecrepitude ""] Really? I'd like to meet those people, because I never hear anyone discuss Lycia. They must be cool. Ok, so how about Bleak, then? Michael VanPortfleets shortlived side project. Does that work for you? And Ross, shoot me a text since you hate phone calls. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 13,2012 11:26am - Burnsy ""] How is age of silence not known cuz of being kvlt haha? Members of borknagar and arcturus, hellhammer on drums? To me that is overlooked. Oranssi Pazuzu, yeah, I'll give ya that one. Surprised you didn't call me out on that for Infestus. |

| _____________________________________ [Oct 13,2012 11:34am - trioxin245 ""] Im just trying to avoid the thread turning into one of those 'list bands you know that most people dont because youre more kvlt than them' things. |
| _______________________________________________ [Oct 13,2012 11:35am - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""] I kind of overlooked Nightbringer initially because they were the promoted band on FMP's shop page for what seemed like the entirety of 2006 and fool me once, shame on Velvet Cacoon, fool me twice, won't get fooled again. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 13,2012 11:38am - Mark_R ""] I think in the case of Thee Plague of Gentlemen, they'd prefer it to stay that way. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 13,2012 11:39am - trioxin245 ""] Idk if Im breaking my own rules here but Fields of the Nephilim are one of my favorite bands ever and I dont hear them mentioned very often. |

To tell you the truth though Id say theyre more overreated than under. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 13,2012 11:40am - trioxin245 ""] also, 13th Floor Elevators |

| _____________________________________ [Oct 13,2012 11:47am - trioxin245 ""] I remember seeing the name Place of Skulls in the southern lord catalog years back and I think I heard a sample track, but Ill have to check em out for real. |

I think theyre right where they should be. Starting a Rated/Looked thread for Enslaved videos I just think that if any bm band deserves the attention its enslaved. To me, their lengthy and varied catalog of albums and releases that spans all across the board from raw BM to ambient-floyd-esque prog is one of the more worthwhile things to ever come out of the black metal scene as a whole. But thats not to say they arent without their faults. |
| _________________________________________ [Oct 13,2012 11:54am - Ancient_Master ""] hm but they are bands that more people should know, thus underrated isnt it? |

But thats not to say they arent without their faults. Right, they're one of my favorite bands and it colors how I view their faults where sometimes I give them a pass because of the high esteem I hold for their albums and other times I'm far too critical because of how great I know they can be. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 13,2012 12:03pm - Spence ""] This thread needs 100% more Riverside. By all rights, they should be as huge as Radiohead or Coldplay, but they're not. In fact, as far as I know, they've only done two US shows(Progpower one year, Nearfest another) Probably my favorite band of the 00's. |

The point is I could name a ton of random bands noone has heard of but this thread was meant more for discussing bands like say Killing Joke, who I hold in particularly high esteem but the average person may not have heard much of. |
| _____________________________________________ [Oct 13,2012 12:17pm - andrewbastard nli ""] Killing joke a pretty respected just maybe not so much in the 'metal only!!' scene |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 13,2012 12:19pm - trioxin245 ""] Yea I meant it in regards to the metal scene. Like Cement was pretty big for their time but I never hear metalheads mention them, and I bet a lot of people would dig it. |

All i got for now. black mass of absu was wayyy underrated. funny story i ended up living with one of the gutiar players while i was living in pawtucket. his gf moved into the spare room and he ended up comming out after he did a tour with one of his other bands. they still jam out from time to time! |
