Tireguy,

Maybe we oughtta keep it on the d/l before they ban us for listening to electronic music. (laugh) One of these days im gonaa track down another copy of Snivilization. That one is pretty hard to find if you have objections about buying over the net.

Bands you would have to search for:

Freak Kitchen: INCREDIBLE band from Sweden. Start with the album MOVE, then move on to any of the other 5 or so. There is a new one to be released in October, I think.

Artrosis: Rock/metal from Poland with haunting female vocals. Check out 'In the flowers' shade' for songs in English. Most of the rest are in Polish.

Passenger: Helmet meets Depeche Mode (wish I could remember who said that first), from Sweden. Very good metal with a taste of electronica.

In Flames: Side project of Passenger frontman, much harder.

Superfix: Awesome but now defunct, from L.A. via Sweden

Thyrane: Great metal band from Finland

Holly McNarland: Very talented female vocalist from Canada, check out the song 'Do you get high?'. It has nothing to do with what you might think.

Waiting for you at your local record store:

Him: heartagram.com, lovemetal, from UK, many to choose from

Lacuna Coil: where Evanescence learned alot of their tricks, from Italy. 'Comalies' is easiest to find.

The Cruxshadows: Similar to Sisters of Mercy, but never tell them I said that. From Florida. Many to choose from but my favorite is 'Telemetry of a fallen angel'.

Nightwish: Metal band from Finland with a classically trained female opera singer in the lead. Many discs out...all good.

OK, I'm a freak...I know. Hope someone gets some fun out of that.
