I like this guy more with every post he makes

miRthkon were mentioned in the first post)

and they are P H U K C I N G   A W E S O M E

Sorry, I *did that thing that I'm not supposed to mention* their albums

So, we'll see

come on, dude, like there's someone who doesn't know Mastodon in this world

although I acknowledge them as one of the central bands in music today, I'm f*cking sick of them

I've been listening to Leviathan for like 4 month and then I have to stop listening for Mastodon for a while, you know, to make a breake. But they are so fuc*ing popular and all my friends just can't get enough so for some 6 years there's Mastodon everywhere I go

I'd die not to hear that fu*king redheaded bum's voice for a day (and did I mention I consider them geniuses?)

But I'm totally into Baroness right now =D

Yeah, I rally like Animals As Leaders but I find Cloudkicker etremely boring

And I just hate Disneyish clean vocals in Periphery

Ephel Duath might be a good recommendadtion and although I've listened to them, it was so long ago that I don't actually remember the sound, but I remember that it was some kind of blackish polyrhythmical jazz metal

As for Cynic: I loke some songs on Traced in Air but all-in-all find the album to be very boring, and I haven't really heard the other one

more or less

sleeper, thank you I'll chek out those bands that you've recommended

Guys, thank you. But in general you recommend more melancholic stuff and it would be great if you suggest more upbeat bands

I'm almost satisfied, there's plenty of music to listen to, but if there's something more suitable (or upbeat) let me know

Given that your pretty clued up on this kind of music, I'm going to have to dive into some of the more obscure bands I know of.

You might like Akphaezya, crazy French band in the UneXpect vein but not as technically brilliant.
Circle Take the Square, Rolo Tomassi, Diablo Swing Orchestra, Ebony Lake,  Hookah the Fuzz, In Lingua Mortua and Protest the Hero are about as much as I can think of that might offer something of what your looking for. 

Devy's Deconstruction is about as close to Zappa metal as you can get in my book.
