• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    For me, At Sixes and Sevens > The 13th Floor > Nine Destinies and a Downfall > An Elixir for Existence. Tristania, Trail of Tears, and Theatre of Tragedy are all waaaaay ahead of Sirenia though.

    So what is Sirenia if not metal?

    Your post was really good and convincing until I read this. So if Sirenia changes their image, they'll be metal?

    Your definition of "metal" is quite twisted. By definition, any genre must follow a number of artistic conventions, such as (in the case of metal) amplified distortion (check), extended guitar solos (check), emphatic beats (check), overall loudness (check). You don't get to make your own...

    ... How are they not metal? Also, I never said "SIRENIA ARE GOOD." I would never use the word "are" after a band name. ;) I hate to break it to you, but I enjoy female vocalists in music. This reflects through my recommendations. Nobody's forcing you to even acknowledge them ?_? (also, you are...

    Obviously The 13th Floor isn't going to appeal to everyone. Goth elistists will still hate the poppiness, and 9DAAD fans will hate it because it's not as hollow and uninspired as that album.

    Good thing we don't base our opinions off those of a single person, right? eta: review of T13F http://arcaneretsu.livejournal.com/

    What do you mean, doesn't work? o.o There are at least four torrents listed there with a decent amount of seeders.

    I found it on a private torrent site I go to, but mininova has quite a few results: http://www.mininova.org/search/?search=the+13th+floor

    Ailyn is surprisingly good. She's no Fabienne or Henriette obviously, but she's eons ahead of Monika.

    I was going to say Dog Fashion Disco but I wasn't sure if they were really metal or not.

    If you like Unexpect, give Diablo Swing Orchestra a try. Stolen Babies, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Unexpect, and DSO are all very similar.

    I've heard of Cult of Luna and Agalloch and actually have listened to Falconer so there. Still recommending Flowing Tears to absolutely everyone. Creative, interesting, and just an amazing band in general.

    It's not a matter of having "expertise" or not. Those bands simply don't sound metal in any sense of the word - to the point where it's plainly obvious.
