Music recommendations? (Asking about a specific band.)

Look, everyone knows I have a tragic weakness for bombast. This is not a secret. Give me power chords and overwrought lyrics with gothy clichés* and I will be gleeful.

With that disclaimer out of the way: One of the munchkins over on the Emilie Autumn forum asked me if I had ever heard the song "Jillian" by Within Temptation. Er, no? I said, but checked it out on iTunes. I liked it enough to investigate more by the band. Do any of you listen to them? Or have suggestions for bands like them?




*Bands I would list in the "Bombast!" category include the Sisters Of Mercy, Queensryche (especially the Rage For Order album), HIM (yes, I own a lot of music by them, and grin whenever I listen to any of it), and Autumn Tears. My Chemical Romance would almost be placed in the "Bombast!" category (especially The Black Parade), but are a little too ... punk-influenced to be strictly Bombast kids.

I'm so sorry your SoM shows weren't good! The one I saw (November '08) was fantastic. AND I got a setlist (fansquee!).

Muse was opening for MCR on part of the Black Parade tour (although I had Rise Against at my dates) and they also played the Bamboozle that year with MCR, which is where I heard them. It's a little hard to avoid "Uprising" right now if you listen to terrestrial radio. I know they're on the Twilight soundtrack!
