> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Daowajan \* > **Do many people know about Sepultura’s Roots?** This disk absolutely rocks. One of the best metal albums and one of the first I suggest to folks wanting something new/different. This disk will make a non-headbanger thrash about is if they were having a seizure. Bands that are big in one country may not be big in other countries so our results may be a bit subjective. I live in the mid-south of the US so I’ll add: **Sentenced** - _Amok_ (Finns will say _everyone_ has heard of them!) **Opeth** - _My Arms, Your Hearse_ **Agalloch** - _Pale Folklore_ NP: **Sculptured** - _The Spear of the Lily is Aureoled_ ---

Interesting thread. Here are a few of my favorites: **Slaves Of The New World** by Steelhouse Lane This group features excellent guitar work by Mike Slamer, formerly with City Boy (some of you Brits probably remember them). Everyone who has ever borrowed this CD from me has bought a copy for themselves. Their first album **Metallic Blue** is also excellent! You can actually preview some of their music at [mp3.com](http://mp3.com): [http://www.steelhouselane.com/music.htm](http://www.steelhouselane.com/music.htm) **Shampoohorn** by Z Z is Ahmet and Dweezil Zappa, sons of the genius who brought us timeless classics such as **Weezils Ripped My Flesh** and **Why Does It Hurt When I Pee**. Dweezil’s guitar work is outstanding, as usual. Their followup album **Music For Pets** was pretty good too. Actually, I have pretty much everything that Dweezil’s done except **What The Hell Was I Thinking**. I’m not sure that was ever released, but I’d kill for a copy!!! **The Day The Earth Caught Fire** by City Boy What can I say, I really like Mike Slamer. Anything by City Boy is probably mostly unknown to Americans, but they were sort of popular in the UK. Stuff that’s been mentioned (that I have in my library): Crack The Sky: John Palumbo is a genius… I like **Dog City** the best, and **From The Greenhouse** was pretty good, but the album **Crack The Sky** left me wanting. Sass Jordan: Fantastic! I didn’t think anyone else had ever heard of her… **Rats** is excellent! ---

I recently volunteered to host an early-morning community radio show, so this is all very informative. My own personal favourite obscure CD is The Negro Problem’s “Post-Minstrel Syndrome,” getting high marks in both musical content and witty wordplay. There’s also a Canadian (I think?) band called Luther Wright and the Wrongs, who do a kick-ass reinvention of Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall” in country/bluegrass style. Though I’m not sure of the title. ---
