Apocalyptica

Apocalyptica are really something special.
It's a Finnish symphonic metal band!
They are very very talented and it is something I will very warmly recommend!
Their music is amazing to listen to, and it can as well be very calming.
Something very special about them is when they get featuring/guest artists into their songs. The band do only consist of 3 cellists who have been in the band from the beginning in 1993, and then one drummer who joined them in 2003. So they do not have any vocalist. But on a lot songs they have featured/guest vocalists. And I can only try to explain how amazing and unique this is. The very talented vocalists and then this symphonic band! It sounds wonderful!
The band have released 9 albums, the first one in 1996.
I will warmly tell you to check this band out. Please give them a change even though it might not sounds like something for you!!
I have some songs you differnetly should try to listen to:
"Life Burns", "Bittersweet", I'm not Jesus

Escape The Fate

First of all I will just say that I do not like this band :)
But, if you like Black Veil Brides, then you might maybe like Escape The Fate!

The music is as well kind of metal-rock and might be screamo..
The band is a american band and have existed since 2004. In 2008 they changed their lead singer, and as it seems to me, their music after have been much better, than the music they had before they changed the singer! So i will recommend you to check out their music made after 2008.
Their music might be a little like Black Veil Brides, though, if you wonna know my opinion it's much more mainstream and the texts are more mainstream as well. They are not my taste of music, but I have heard if you like Black Veil Brides, you might like these as well.
The members in Escape the Fate do as well know the members from Black Veil Brides, it's like a whole family over there!
Check out the songs "10 Miles Wide" and "The Flood"
