Genghis Tron - A truly unique band that combines metal with electronic influences... They consist of a guitarist. A keyboard/sample player, and a vocalist who also programs the drum tracks. They add in the electronic sounds in a way that is not cheesey at all and suprisingly fuses with the metal very well. I reccomend the album "Board Up The House"

The Red Chord - Very raw and brutal deathgrind, very fast riffs and technical blastbeats, many of thier songs seem to be inspired by real insane people the vocalist met while working in a pharmacy or has encountered elsewhere. Recommend the album "Clients" or "Fused Together in Revolving Doors"

Baroness - Prog Metal with a wide range of influences. Anyone who likes Mastodon will almost certainly dig these guys, although they do have a sound of thier own. Check out "The Red Album"

Converge - The only band you really need to know in the hardcore scene as they are what all hardcore should be, this band makes some of the most technical and melodic yet at the same time raw and brutal hardcore out there. Check the albums "No Heroes" or "Jane Doe"


God this show is gonna so much ass, i may have an overload of awesomeness for the whole week... and also have my ears ringing.
Dude...I fucking love Baroness...I've never really heard any Red Chord, and I just recently heard Genghis Tron and you are right, that shit is so unique sounding, but so heavy. Have you heard Baroness' First and Second EP's? They are fucking amazing. Whats a few of your favorites on the red album?
