The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued

I agree with  rbstehno . Dream Theater has had some of the better concerts I've been to. Amazing musicianship.

Wow, pretty wild to see thread like this get such a response, this was not the case some time ago. Ok I'm gonna throw a few to the pile.

First - Justin Broadrick  (of Godflesh fame) with his project Jesu. Atmospheric post metal/shoegaze gem. 

Second - Cloudkicker, one man instrumental project from Columbus Oh. With strongish djent influences on early stuff, so think meshuggah but more melodic, later stuff a bit different. 

These are relatively not well known but with quite a following within the people in the know. 

"6:00" From Dream Theater's - Awake 

As above, groups (The) Blue Cheer, (The) Cream, The Kinks, Steppenwolf and The Yardbirds all laid down heavy grooves that led to 1970's Heavy Metal movement.

Honorable mention- The Beatles "Helter Skelter" and Iron Butterfly.

Happy Listening!
