How could I forget Bal-Sagoth?

Stumbled across this band earlier tonight and it's pretty kick-ass.

Well, it's not rare now that it was reissued! This is an old thread from 2012 (and it was my first post, I think, on HoM at that) and before Divebomb reissued it in 2013, it was quite hard to come by.

Edge of Sanity-Crimson

"Steel The Light" by Q5

Not that their songs were sci fi oriented, but Petra's More Power and NotW album art were damn wicked.

Anything from this album:

This classic album, song and artist....

Space is the new trees in BM



This album is so very great!

The death metal band Inherit Disease has some sci-fi themes on their most recent album, Visceral Transcendence.

New TERMINUS is pretty much based on Isaac Asimov's Foundation books:

DOCTOR SMITH, a conceptual space-opera:



=====

ANCIENT EMPIRE - Based on a story about an ancient alien race who used to live on earth and are coming back to claim the planet from the human race:



=====

THE OUTER LIMITS - quite self-explanatory:



=====

Last but not least: GENTRY LORD and their mystical magic trip through the mystiverse:



=====

Also the sophomore MORTYR album "Cygnus Alpha" would be a conceptual album based on Blake's 7 Sci-fi TV series, although we haven't started writing and recording it yet.

Vision Divine-The Perfect Machine (Sci-Fi)
Vision Divine-Destination Set To Nowhere (Space & Sci-Fi)
Gama Bomb-Tales From The Grave In Space (Ok, mostly the album cover)

Here's a list of sci-fi references in music (all genres, not just metal), although it hasn't been updated in a very long time.
