Can somebody recommend some good music I can check out?

So basically my whole life I've been into the metal. Metallica, Motorhead, Rammstein, Dimmu Borgir, Lacuna Coil, Dark Tranquillity, Arch Enemy, Sepultura, you name it, all the ranges.

Lately though I guess my tastse are chilling out. While I still love some good death metal, I often want something more chill. Lately I've really been getting into Tool and A Perfect Circle (albeit "Emotive" was crap IMO). I really like the chilled out songs, especially the psychadelic stuff, and I was wondering if somebody can recommend some music somewhere around these lines. Actually even though I only recently discovered Tool, they're doing what I've wanted to do for years, make a type of music that's based in metal but chilled out rather than angry (though the type I want to make is still qutie different).


So any recommendations in that ballpark?

Hurt

They are what Tool wishes they could be.

Hurt's Myspace Page

They have the top 3 songs of theirs available right now... they have one album out, almost finished with the second, and if you are looking for some damn fine rock, they are where its at.

*edit* I recommend listening to Rapture first, probably one of their better songs. Really though, all of Volume 1 is pretty amazing. *edit*

Sweet Buddha Imitator, I love it! I'm listening right now, just absolutely love this music. Thanks for a great suggestion man!

well for death metal i would suggest listening to lamb of god. They have some really really good songs

...And You Will Know Us By Trail Of Dead (specifically these albums: Madonna and Source Tags & Codes)

Lightning Bolt

Shellac

a few good bands for chilling out or things of the like are shpongle, radiohead and sigur ros.

celine dion

Also, the new Chevelle album is bit more chilled out well thought out music, its a bit different from their other albums mind you, the earlier stuff is alot harder.

if you like Tool and APC you may wanna listen to Puscifer (Maynard's other side band)

Ever listen to any Breaking Benjamin tends to be one of my favorite bands when I'm just trying to chill.

Yes radiohead and sigur ros are amazing!

portishead is pretty cool too, I am just starting to get into them

also check out explosions in the sky

Isis is good too, like the guy above me posted. I suggest to check out Altered course. Mellow.

Peter Tosh

Six Organs of admittance

The Allman Brothers Band

Acid Mothers Temple. awesome psych rock from japan. id suggesting melting paraiso UFO.
also LES RALLIZES DENUDE, and lsd march are awesome bands too. if you have soulseekyou can download whatever from me at reapingwillow.

moby - porceline, its something to trip out too :jointsmile:

Try listening to some Massive Attack songs like Inertia Creeps or Antistar

This is a no brainer, but Pink Floyd. Dark Side of the Moon, Animals, Wish You Were Here.... can't go wrong with any of those albums. The Wall is a bit darker, but still totally awesome. And Atom Heart Mother rocks, too.

Ever heard of the Alan Parsons Project? Check out their second album, I-Robot.

The Doors -- They're rockin' and totally laid back at the same time.

King Crimson -- They're a little more 'out there', but I dig 'em. I think my favorite album of theirs is probably Thrak.

Porcupine Tree - I've heard them compared to Tool... I wouldn't say their too similar, but they have an interesting sound, you might want to check them out.

some people i know that are into hard metal are in to drum and bass....?

mastodon. best new metal band i know

Job for a Cowboy is some good metal.

But for relaxing music, I listen to TelepopMusik, Sasha, and ATB.

Some great stoner metal/sludge bands:

the Melvins http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BafSlqFVuGM
Pentagram http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwfE5nqao7U
Bongzilla
Sleep YouTube - sleep dragonaut

If you like screaming music check out Underoath, Atreyu, Chiodos, Alexisonfire, or Norma Jean

Some mellower alternative bands like Saosin, The Recieving End Of Sirens, Rise Against, Senses Fail are all really really good

idk im really bad at giving people advice on what to listen to, cuz everyone tends to have their own preference, but i try to help when i can

String Cheese Incident, its far from metal but its really chill, trippin, music
