Band Name: Asobi Seksu (Guess what this means in English...?)

Genre: Psychadelic/Shoegazer

Country of Origin: Brooklyn, NYC, USA

Reccomended Listening: Citrus (entire album)

What I Like About The Band: Awesomely soothing songs that serve as the soundtrack to your life; conjuring up images of everything from your first love to sundays in the park watching the world walk by. Their vocalist (Yuki Chikudate) is pretty hot too, in a Japanese-pop-singer sort of way =p.

[EugeneSmasher]

Band: Pantokrator
Genre: Progressive / death metal
Origin: Sweden
Recommended listens: Everything!

One of the great death metal bands around, just that they're way underrated and few people know about them... Talk about obscure. But if ever possible, try out their album Aurum. I wouldn't call their music death metal because its a mix of a lot of metal genres, but I'd call it extreme metal.

Check out their myspace:

[EugeneSmasher]

Band: Crimson Moonlight
Genre: Symphonic black metal
Origin: Sweden
Recommended listens: Everything! Particularly the stuff on their myspace.

Crimson Moonlight's an obscure band too... Few know about it but they do have a loyal following in Sweden. Its part technical black metal, part symphonic black metal with a little death metal influence. But seriously one of the best black metal bands I've ever heard, and trust me, I know a lot of black metal bands.
