Hmmm if you have heard of them then that is pretty cool but if you have not and you like dark or fun music check them out.
Voltaire & Christian Death are both very good.

I know Lamb of God toured with Children of Bodom, who I was going to mention, but I know at least a few members have heard of them.
I was at the philly date of that tour, where Lamb of God filmed it for a DVD. Great show, even though Children of Bodom only played 4-5 songs. The highlight of the night was
Fear Factory though. My neck was so bashed up by the time that Lamb of God were on stage that I had to sit down in the back of the club.
hmm.... five bands that no one else knows...hmm, well I won't try to be too hard with this.
Bathory- (One man band from Sweden whose work made the framework for most Black Metal and Viking Metal)
Swans- (A Band from New York that continually evolved their sound. At first part of the "No-Wave" scene. Written some of the most powerful Music ever. Think Ambient, Metal, Folk, Alternative & Industrial.)
Kreator- (One of the three legends of German Thrash Metal, whose scene picked up right when the American one did. Band is still going strong and at the turn of the century returned to their Thrash sound which they diverted from in the early 90's. Think German "Slayer", but with their own vibe.)
Skinny Puppy- (Originators of what could be considered the modern Industrial Scene. Infamous for their stage performances and the sort of anti-mainstream cred they had. Apparently a large influence on Nine Inch Nails)
Burzum- (Infamous one man Black Metal band by Varg Vikernes. Hailed as creating some of the best Atmospheric Black Metal ever. Varg being infamous for burning down dozens of churches in Norway as part of a war on Christianity he and some others took part of. Was sent to prison for the murder of Euronymous, the Guitarist for Black Metal band Mayhem, whom Varg played Bass for shortly. Has been noted in prision to of made Neo-Nazi and Racist remarks. Idolized in the National Socialist Black Metal scene. Will be released from prison likely sometime this year.)
