You might try Nightwish. They play operatic metal. Very melodic, and quite unusual. Their rendition of the theme from the broadway show The Phantom Of The Opera always makes me giggle.
GreenLadyOfDankDowns Reviewed by GreenLadyOfDankDowns on . Looking for "hard" stuff When I mean hard, I'm talking about a style similar to these bands, a raw, punkish, hard sound. Like the following bands: Rage Against The Machine Lightning Bolt At The Drive-In Desparecidos Shellac Something really hard, not in a metal way, more like a punk way. Rating: 5
