Can somebody recomend to me bands similar to Trivium and FFDP ? Trivium is my favorite band of all time.

Sure man. Do you want more of the same, or are you looking to branch out into the more artisanal stuff?
For more of the same, you can pretty much throw a dart at the Roadrunner Records roster and be sure to find something you'd like. Here I'm thinking of Machine Head, Unearth, Killswitch Engage, Slipknot, Chimaira, which are all very good, but pretty much in the same vein as Trivium and FFDP.
If you're looking to branch out, I'd say check out Vader, Toxic Holocaust, Rotting Christ, Goatwhore, Misery Index, Cannibal Corpse and High on Fire. They all represent a good start off point for getting into other genres without having too much of an "old" sounding production. The "classics" are definitely something worth listening to, but coming from Trivium and FFDP you'd be more into the "instant gratification" that I feel these bands provide.
Happy listening.

I just bought that collection! Have only listened to it once but their definitely demos and definitely unconventional.
That Timeghoul demo is one of my most listened to releases of all time. I haven't collected physical media in a few years but it was still hard to resist that vinyl rerelease from a couple years back.
They seem like alright guys too:
Some killer Timeghoul mythos/lore at the start.
I've for some reason always associated Timeghoul with an old French band called Catacomb that did one better than Timeghoul and actually put out an EP in addition to a demo before vanishing

I'd also suggest Finntroll. Or Ensiferum. Something like Goblins' Dance.
Any Orange Goblin love on Era? My friend got me into them around 2002 with their Coup de Grace album that came out then, but my favourite album of theirs is Healing Through Fire.
haunter's debut album thrinodia is being pressed for a release of May 31st through vendetta records

I'm sure there are fans here. I gave them a shot at some point but the music was a tad mellow for me. Damn good band though, who knows, may revisit them again some day.
This is actually my favorite along Vintage Whine. But giving their wit and cleverness Skyclad is probably satirizing drinking culture. Or maybe not .
I picked up The Big Black back when it came out. Scorpionica is a killer album intro. I've always liked that album but never thought to check out any of their other releases, but I'll listen to some stuff while at work today starting with your link.
Bit late news since it's back from April but anyway :
New cover art for their new Album coming this summer .
HYPE !
A bit late on this but damn, that's sick. Can't wait for the new album!
Song of the Day
Here's something a bit different for today.
The Angelic Process - The Promise of Snakes
Drone/doom/ambient/shoegaze/etc all mashed together into something beautiful. I really love this album. I once heard someone describe listening to The Angelic Process as drowning in the most beautiful part of the ocean. I think that is accurate.
Bonus Rec!
I stumbled across Endlichkeit the other day and was really blown away. It's right up my alley. Melodic/hypnotic black metal. Not for everyone but I really love this stuff. Great to just kind of chill and zone out to. Kinda sound like the repetitive/hypnotic side of Burzum mashed up with Drudkh melodies. Great stuff.

Thanks for reminding me of this. I haven't listened to this album in years.
Remember the other guys from Agalloch? They've formed Khôrada with the vocalist/guitarist from Giant Squid and just dropped their new song:

New Nocturnal Graves is streaming. I've been pretty down on the songs they've put out but so far it's more along the lines of what I expect from them. (with sterile production....)
There's way more death metal here which isn't necessarily bad but can't say it's really what I wanted from them. We'll see how it shapes up in the end. In the meantime let's reminisce on what once was
EDIT: skimming through the rest I'm really not digging the album as a whole. The appeal of NG was always "rips hard" and the production removes that........so uh

Yeah I never got into them first because I don't really like the stoner metal style, but with the more later albums I began to appreciate them more when giving them a chance because my friend really liked them, they're one of those bands in a genre that's an exception for me, as with Electric Wizard.
Melodic Death metal , then . ( the bands own preference )
most of their songs are about Viking mythology and history so in my book they might as well be .
I always felt lyrical theme wasn't enough to create a genre. But I know what people mean when they say viking metal, so I don't care.
Certainly.
Bathory's discography starting from Hammerheart (or arguably even Blood Fire Death) is the best place to start. Hammerheart, Twilight of the Gods, Blood On Ice, Nordland I and II are the quintessential viking metal sound.
Shores in Flames, One Rode to Asa Bay, The Stallion, The Land
For authenticity, you can't beat Storm. It's actually all old Norse songs adapted to metal, collected in a single album/side-project titled "Nordavind" by Fenriz (Darkthrone), Satyr (Satyricon) and Kari Rueslåtten (The 3rd and the Mortal):
Mellom bakkar og berg, Villemann, Langt borti lia
If you want shorter, more compact and typically more "upbeat" songs, you can try Einherjer:
Dreamstorm, Doomfaring, Wolf-Age, Varden brenne
Månegarm, folkier sound with the violins but with the black metal influence still obvious:
Fimbultrollet, Skymningsresa, Vargstenen
For a more "power metal" influence in the riffs, there's Mithotyn (whose members went on to form Falconer, you'll hear the resemblance if you are familiar, it's basically Falconer with growls and a more folky Norse sound)
In the Clash of Arms, In the Sign of Ravens, Under the Banner,
If you want cleaner vocals you can't really go wrong with any early Falkenbach (up 'til Heralding, haven't heard the rest), always epic and fun:
Heathen Foray, Vanadis,Donar's Oak,
Ooh, these look great. I should listen to more Viking Metal.
It's not the archetypal viking metal sound that would be established by others later, but I can't hear 'viking metal' without thinking of early Enslaved. I'm not really into the general upbeat, sing-songy style of metal that most people think of when they say viking metal.
Vintersorg went on to become all cosmic and science-y or whatever so I haven't bothered with them in a decade, but the early releases are very good archetypal viking metal, imo.
Edit: Forgot probably my favorite Viking-themed metal album: Scald's Will of the Gods is Great Power.

I've been listening to this lately thanks to you! Probably the most generic ass name ever and the most boring artwork of this year so far, but the music is really solid!!!
And i discovered this guys are involved in a project i've also enjoyed quite a lot this year.
Antles - Beneath.Below.Behold
......I didn't know this existed
Essentially a followup to Conqueror by J. Read and R. Forster
I prefer the harsh vocals of Revenge but this is really fuckin good, and a bit more musical than Revenge's noise

Oh I didn't know they were involved in Antlers. The new album is really good too. Ván Records has been putting out a lot quality stuff this year so far.

Sunday Song of the Day
Today I'm going with what I would describe as the CD equivalent of something from Bloodborne, not like a soundtrack or anything, but like a ritual from the game. I've been wanting to mention this whole album and this seems like as good a time as any. The album cover is a very cool ritual type thing with skull, candle and bloody hands. The music is fast and heavy black metal that just pounds its way along. Today's tune is the album opener which is just firing right out of the gate and slows down to some chanty ritual stuff and speeds back up. If you like this tune, you'll like the album. The band has a couple other albums but I've not checked those out yet. Anyway, enjoy!

Balmog's new album is one of my favorite albums from this year so far. Going to see them in Oct which I think will be their first show in the US.
