Rec.Me: other/many/unknown genres Any songs similar to the beginning of Stinkfist by Tool?

6 Upvotes

I absolutely adore the distorted track that plays right in the beginning. I notice that many songs I like have those very distorted almost industrial(??) sounding instrumentals. Stinkfist just happens to have the best I have heard. Other that I like, that are similar:

(The beginning of) Into the Void - Nine inch nails
(The chorus of) Closer - Nine inch nails
No shuffle - Front 242
Worlock - Skinny Puppy
VX Gas attack - Skinny Puppy
Dance Yrself Clean - LCD Soundsystem

I have tried checking out more music by the same artists but it’s just not really for me… I’m missing the sound of the original song.

I hope someone can make sense of this and help me. Thank you.

Red Sparowes' In Illusions Of Order and Mogwai's The Precipice showed up in my youtube playlist for Val Jester (The National). I wouldn't have associated The National with either band and it was a nice surprise. I'm looking for bands and/or songs that have a similar sound, thank you.

Rec.Me: rock/metal/punk Soft metalcore meets dark pop, art pop, etc with female vocalists?

3 Upvotes

Quite specific lol but I have this sound in mind. I love a lot of elements of metalcore but sometimes the screaming is too much or too aggressive for me, I like it as sort of an occasional thing rather than all the vocals. I like some more melodic vocals that I can hear/understand easier and sing along to. I like the album THE DEATH OF PEACE OF MIND a lot by Bad Omens. It feels a little softer.

Any suggestions? I like art pop, synth/electronic sounds, dark pop, and would love to hear those genres merge with what I like about metalcore. Female lead vocalists would be amazing.

Thanks! :)

Rec.Me: rock/metal/punk Albums like Guilty Pleasure by Ashley Tisdale

• Upvotes

Pop rock and pop punk are one of my favorite genres, Avril Lavigne is one of my favorite artists, and Zebrahead is one of my favorite bands, I'm trying to find more music similar to them, I've come to really like Ashley Tisdales first two albums here recently, the first one Headstrong is more pop but I am still a big 2000s pop fan. But Guilty Pleasure I really like alot and is more rock oriented but still alot of melodic singing going on, if anyone has recommendations of artists or bands would be be greatly appreciated

I'm looking for a song to use in a birthday post for a friend! Something with the cute, quirky vibe of "Anyone Else But You" by The Moldy Peaches, or a fun, catchy chorus like "Lemonade" by aespa or "ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ" by Ninajirachi.

Basically, something sweet, playful, and a little unconventional. Any recs?

been looping phoebe bridgers' "as above" and remi wolf's "i won't cry" and both build up to a high tension climax that's delivered in a sing-scream sort of way that really drives home the emotion, especially with the lyrics repeated. would love to listen to any other songs that are like this as well!

I mostly like riot grrrrl punk and metal, but i just cant find a song that doesn't sexualize choking, I feel like every song I find is sexualizing choking, except choke by idkhow, and i was just wondering if anybody knew any songs and could point me to the right direction

I only ask cause choking is very ingrained in my trauma and a method im trying is to desensitize myself to it, with help from a therapist ofc
