Make a recommendation to a fellow member of The Gateway

If you think one of your clan-mates might really dig something you can make a recommendation to them here.

The first ever Gateway recommendation goes to... MartinDavey87! I think you might dig Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory EP and The Hunting Party album as much as their other two metal albums. Also I have a favor to ask you about one of the releases; could you please help me vote in the Rap Metal subgenre for the Hybrid Theory EP? Seems a little tacky and I don't wanna spoil too much for you before your review, but half the amount of songs in the EP have a more hip-hop-ish metal sound with only Mike Shinoda's rapping in the vocals. You don't have to vote if you disagree, though it's very likely you'll find what I'm talking about. OK thanks Martin!

Hello again, MartinDavey87! I don't know whether or not you have listened to those two Linkin Park recommendations, but I hope you had because I have a couple more for you; their remix albums Reanimation and Collision Course! Also could you please help me vote in the Rap Metal subgenre for both releases? Seems a little tacky and I don't wanna spoil too much for you before your reviews, but many of the songs in each album, especially the latter, have a more hip-hop-ish metal sound with mostly or solely rapping in the vocals. You don't have to vote if you disagree, though it's very likely you'll find what I'm talking about. OK thanks Martin!

Hey there, Daniel! I thought I would let you know that the deluxe version of the Treyarch Sound's "Call of Duty: Black Ops - Zombies Soundtrack" includes 3 bonus tracks that are all metal, none of the non-metal OST sounds from most of the standard edition's main tracks. These bonus tracks are heavier than even the standard edition's metal tracks, with the last of the 3 approaching ultra-heavy punky death metal during the harsh-vocal parts. There's no chance that you would ever change your mind about the soundtrack being non-metal, but please check out these bonus tracks and let us know what you think. Saxy, I would recommend them to you as well:

Hey there, Pelle! Here are some albums for you to start diving into Creed guitarist Mark Tremonti's other bands. Saxy, I would recommend these to you as well:

Rex, I recommend giving Dir En Grey a try. They're a band with a lot of style changes, like one minute they're Japanese pop rock and the next they're extreme metal. Their 2008 album Uroboros is what I would recommend the most for the ultimate best of their stylistic experimentation.
