Music Recommendations

Traveller is my favorite. It's a concept album based on the tabletop game of the same name.

I'm guessing this would be the place to ask this instead of making a new thread, so here goes:
Does anyone know of any Russian bands whose styles are similar to Neue Deutsche Härte bands'?

I love NDH and while dreaming one night a brilliant idea came to me: bands I like go to Russia -> Russian fans seem to love the bands I also love -> so maybe Russia also has similar music that I would like but it would sound fresher because it would probably be in Russian. I know I don't have good logic but it peaked my curiosity.

Is NDH stuff like Rammstein? The heaviest Russian band I've listened to (out of not very many) is Amatory, they're sort of death metalish I think. Sorry if that's not what you mean. On that note though, I love Nena a lot and would like some recommendations of more stuff like her, Neue Deutsche Welle. Russian artists specifically but any language is welcome. Last.fm only has more German music on the recommendation list.

Yup, Rammstein is considered NDH. And I gave Amatory a try. I liked the first song that came up on the YouTube search but after that songs had more screaming. So yeah, they seem too death metal-ish for me. :/ But yay for hearing one new song I like! :D

*Searches Neue Deutsche Welle on Wikipedia and looks at convenient list* I've only heard of two artists listed there, so I can't say I know much about it... And I don't know of much of anything Russian. >.<;

NDH is basically a crossover genre between industrial and alternative metal, charcteristic to the German scene, isn't it. Honestly, I am not familiar with the NDH outside of Oomph and Rammstein, so I will try to go by the most simple definition.

The closest to your request is Digimortal. Strong vocals, both melodic and aggresive songs, incorporating traditional metal and industrial synthetic music. Also, they are Fear Factory fans. The other bands sound more like industrial moving towards alternative, so it's hard to give a clearer definition. Listen yourself and figure out if they fit what you are looking for.

Spoiler:

Shmely (Bumblebees) and Tetrayder are two bands from the more experimental scene, but they still share the industrial elements.

Spoiler:

And lol Amatory. I haven't listened to them since at least 2005. It's as nu metal as it gets.

Searching for some trip hop songs that would be close in in tone to these,

Spoiler:

I rather like the calmness those songs generate, I'm less fond of it if they turn to melancholic.
Those are just examples, but to name other bands of the genre who have quite a few songs that I like gorillaz and massive attack, I guess.
Didn't have much luck finding anything else though, last thing I checked was birdpen.

Heh, I was going to recommend Archive before opening your spoiler. I would like some recs too.
