The Devil Wears Prada

I know its kind of an extensive list, but I could list more! haha, those are just some of the bands I listen to now...

Pretty much describes a large part of my (now deceased) ipod. Thought I was the only one who listened to blessthefall.

Another band worth mentioning on here is Dethklok.

im not really a big metal fan but for those who are try out "Vampire Moose".

A friend of mine is the drummer and they are getting very popular. They tour nationwide and get a lot of radiotime here in St. Louis.

I've heard of vapire moose. they play if on the xm channel. not my taste

Metal is good. Mostly listen to core and metal core...for example
Terror
Throwdown
Hatebreed
Since the Flood
The Warriors
Madball
Sworn Enemy
All That Remains
Killswitch Engage (Older killswitch is better in my opinion)
Lamb of God
100 Demons
Backfire
Shutdown
Black Label Society
Icepick
Ten Yard Fight ok i'll stop now ahhah

Killswitch Engage (Older killswitch is better in my opinion)


I tend to disagree...I like the newer singer better. My fav kse song is a great cover they did of Holy Diver for a compilation album.

terror, dude awesome ! list! you forgot madball, agnostic front. what about donnybrook? final fight? first blood? piece by piece? man I miss those days! I haven't gone to a show in over 2yrs

First blood oh yeah def. I could of made a list of 100 or more but figured I'd annoy people wit a list that big.
New Killswitch is good but more emo to me and not as intense. For example listen to My Last Serenade or Life to Lifeless vs. somethin off of End of Heartache like When Darkness Falls or even the title track End of Heartache. Don't get it twisted I still like the band just seems less "intense".

Anyone like KillWhitneyDead? Crazy band with sound clips ranging from family guy to Hellraiser. Great band.

Just a few of the top of me head that have not been listed yet I don't believe.
Sigh, Atheist, God Forbid, Behemoth, Aghora(for Cynic fans), Mr Bungle, Fantomas, Clutch, Melt-Banana, Strapping Young Lad, Sevendust, Green Carnation, and Death.

I suppose some listed above you cannot classify as metal, but **** you.

:no:
I knew it was only a matter of time before someone made some ignorant comment like this. Hahaha! Either you're not hardcore enough because of the music you like, or the music is sh!t. You can't degrade someone just cause they like a band that you dont.

Express your dislike for the music, sure. But dont slander peoples taste because you dislike it. Im sure you listed a few bands that people think are PURE CR@P. But its your taste in music, not their's...

I like spineshank, panetra, nailbomb (joint between some of pantera/sepultura), six feet under, deicide, cannibal corpse (old, not newer) bloodlined caligraphy, 40 degrees below

i also am really into the kfmdm/atari teenage riot/chemlab/squarepusher style hard industrial.. been to a few lords of acid shows, and saw KMFDM as well ...

so yeah, a little off topic with the last few

Glad someone has heard of Nailbomb besides me ahhaha. I used to be into Six Feet Under and Deicide but just got tired of it.

good call on the killswitch engage earlier...

im not a metal head but I listen to it a lot, cuz i listen to everything

cannibal corpse (old, not newer)

Cannibal Corpse, isn't that the one where the singer looks all serious and funny? Gosh, I love their videos...

Instead of listing a bunch of bands check out this thread from the beginning of the year. Some great bands are listed there... http://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=152347&highlight=

anyway, everyone's listed some great bands. for those of you that are into progressive rock, or bands like muse, radiohead, dredg, circa survive, and so on....i suggest everyone check out the new record by the dear hunter. (act 2) it's been blowing my mind for 2 solid weeks.

Thank you sir!

Human Abstract has some incredibley technical stuff going on. They could use a new singer though.

God Forbid!! hell yes i used to go into the guitar center by me all the time, Dallas (lead guitar) used to work there we talked a few times, great guy! Behemoth are badass, Cynis - great work, DEATH! CONTROL DENIED, Gordian knot, man there are just way too many great bands to name and every time i think about one another comes up. So I think I'll just shut up now haha. We should all start a band! Death by Scion

oh yeah you cant forget about Origin, and Cryptopsy! fastest bands on the freakin planet

Testaament
Death Angel

Metallica
Megadeth
Anthrax

I like alot of the older metal myself, some of the stuff out now, I just can't get into. Listening to KNAC at work is nice. I hear alot of older music that I forgot about.

Mastodon's newest album is spectacular. See what I mean i can't stop now.

How did I forget Anthrax????

Props to the 'Don. Those guys slay.

Any1 like agents of man?

New KWD!?!? I'm so there!

Yeah, their MySpace has the new album on it.

Now I've got "Knife In the Back" on repeat, hahaha

mushroomhead, dope, and dimmu borgir are 3 i like that i havent seen listed. How many ppl here that like metal have a system in their car? I do.

i listen to Atreyu a lot, but ive gotten into Dream Theater a lot more recently and I listen to a lot of 311(seen them 7 times), also a little bit off topic but i was listening to lostprophets "start something" album last night and that is a great album

http://www.headbanger.hu/be/htdocs/updir/Opeth%20logo_opeth.com.jpg

^---very good as well

In Flames are awesome! I saw them at sounds of the underground last summer and it was great.

Trivium is also a good band too

just got into metal last year because my room mate was crazy about it, and now I'm hooked

I'm not a metal head, I listen to hip hop but I really do like Dream Theater! They do progressive metal. Every member is talented as hell impressive stuff...

i cant beleive no one has said slayer... yall disappoint me

i cant beleive no one has said slayer... yall disappoint mehaha I don't think anyone needs to say Slayer. I actually saw them a few years back, they're awesome

Honestly, I've grown totally bored of slayer, seen them a lot and listened to too much and it doesn't really cut it for me anymore. oh well

Slayer before Dave left the first time, and Sepultura before the brother split up.

Killswitch Engage (Older killswitch is better in my opinion)


I tend to disagree...I like the newer singer better. My fav kse song is a great cover they did of Holy Diver for a compilation album.

I agree, the new singer kicks all sorts of ___ and has the ability to summon up some Rob Halford or Ronny James Dio vocal stylings when he needs to, which is always cool to hear amongst much of todays horrible singing.

There was one guy, and one guy only who embodied "black" metal. King "Merciful Fate" Diamond. it should have been left at that.

"power metal" "grindcore" ? did u make those terms up?

Celtic Frost
Six Feet Under

Celtic Frost
Six Feet Under

haven't heard of celtic frost, but i used to love six feet under on hbo. too bad it had to end.

YES!!! Merciful Fate! Dont Break The Oath is quintessential.

No sir. I've heard those terms many times before.

according to wiki...
* Power metal is a style of heavy metal music with the aim of evoking an "epic" feel, combining characteristics of traditional metal with thrash metal or speed metal, often within symphonic context.

*Grindcore often shortened to grind, is an evolution of crust punk, most commonly associated with death metal, a very different, though similarly extreme, style of music. The name "grindcore" having actually being coined by Napalm Death's drummer, Mick Harris.

But I couldn't begin to tell ya what crust punk is. Never heard of that one.

I forgot to mention this band in my list of awsomeness.

I'm more of a punk fan than a metalhead, so me having a glass of champagne only once per year (New Years Eve tradition) is about as close to straight edge as I'm going to get. I absolutely do not drink, do drugs, or smoke. Sex and caffiene is good, but hardcore straight edge is kinda against even that.

And before anyone gets started, 95% of what you hear on the radio that you think is punk, is...not.

I can't believe no one gave props to the guy on the first page for listing SWORN ENEMY and 100 DEMONS ........ Dude mad props for being a NYC Hardcore fan

No one mentioned Most Precious Blood or MOWER ........

and I hate to break the news to you big fans of Avenge Sevenfold but they AREN't metal more like EMO..... Saw them at Ozzfest and they came on after Hatebreed, boy talk about almost getting BOO'd off stage.... no one was even paying attention to them except the Emo kids (you know the ones I speak of)

Dragonforce Sucks as well but I only saw them live at Ozzfest couldnt even hear them just sounded like static and a gorilla banging on pans

Avenged Sevenfold is far from Emo dude.

They fall more between metal and punk. Not to mention they kick more ___ than about 95% of the bands that have ever played Ozzfest.

hummmm well i think thats a big statement so your telling me A7X is more rockin then


System of a Down, Ozzy Osbourne, Disturbed, Hatebreed, Lacuna Coil, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Velvet Revolver, Mudvayne, Shadows Fall, Black Label Society, Rob Zombie, Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying, A Dozen Furies, Bury Your Dead, Judas Priest, Slayer, Slipknot, Lamb of God, Atreyu, Bleeding Through, Unearth, God Forbid, Otep, Korn, Marilyn Manson, Cradle of Filth, Shadows Fall, Sworn Enemy, Drowning Pool, Adema, Mushroomhead, Papa Roach, Linkin Park, Taproot, Pantera, Godsmack, Static-X, Incubus, Methods of Mayhem

Should I name some more?


but i guess to each their own huh


and don't ever use Punk in describing them

Ozzy Osbourne, Disturbed, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Pantera, Slayer.

Those were the only ones in that list I found equal to-or better than A7X. And I like several of the other bands you have mentioned, though most of them suck.

but i guess to each their own huh



I'm sure there will be people disagreeing with the both of us.......
In my opionion I think they suck and are :loser:

well most everything has been covered, but "new metal"

Dragonforce Sucks as well but I only saw them live at Ozzfest couldnt even hear them just sounded like static and a gorilla banging on pans

Those are HARDCORE bands though, this is a METAL thread, and mower? Come on man, they're just a bro-core band on the same label as kotton mouth kings

lets see...

Opeth
Cradle of filth
Hatebreed (always puts me in a good mood)
atreyu
in flames
crowbar
death

well to make it easier buy sirius radio and have channel 27 on ALL your presets \m/

sometimes my age pops thru, and it's the old british metal ( priest, maiden, etc ) mixed with 80's versions like Helloween, Grim Reaper, etc that I'll toss in the player. Other times it's bands like Paradise Lost, Tiamet, Type "O", etc... to get some gloom and doom.
And stuff like Alice n chains, godsmack, etc just sounds great cranked up.
I don't usually care for the black metal genre, but on occasion enjoy slayer or cradle of filth.
Finally, i'll listen to older Metallica and bring back the memories of seeing them ( and bands like anthrax, etc ) at the old "Headliners" club here in Madison in the early 80's... those were the days...

There was one guy, and one guy only who embodied "black" metal. King "Merciful Fate" Diamond. it should have been left at that.

Black metal became a parody of itself circa 1992. Until then very few people knew what BM was. Most still do not understand what it means.

IMO, there was and is only 1 BM band. Burzum.

The corpse paint is lame, agreed.

KD has nothing to do musically with BM. He is simply a heavy metal act.

I think the mudvayne bassist needs to start his own side project. Im glad Vader was mentioned, they ruled in concert

KD has nothing to do musically with BM. He is simply a heavy metal act.

simply? besides Bathory and maybe venom, 1987's Abigail is the best example of early black metal. even though i grew up with it, i hate it myself but i gotta give it props. (though u gotta respect KD's range for a male, up there with elvis imo)

Burzum came ten years after these guys.

simply? besides Bathory and maybe venom, 1987's Abigail is the best example of early black metal.

I have to disagree. KD and MF have always been heavy metal. There is nothing even remotely BM about either one. Venom, maybe, was coming closer to BM, but they were always a heavy metal band as well, albeit it a bit more "evil" in sound.

If any early band could be considered (at best) proto BM, it would have been Bathory.

even though i grew up with it, i hate it myself but i gotta give it props. (though u gotta respect KD's range for a male, up there with elvis imo)

Sure, he has a talented voice and I never implied otherwise. Back when I was a kid, I listened to all sorts of heavy metal including MF/KD. Now I know better though.

Burzum came ten years after these guys.
Yes, but thats comparing apples to oranges. Burzum and MF/KD are so different on so many levels (astethics, emotion, action, talent) that a comparison is waste of time IMO. Sure they are both metal, but thats about all they have in common.

Varg most likely listened to and evoloved they sound of Venom, but they are nothing alike.

Burzum and MF/KD are so different on so many levels (astethics, emotion, action, talent) that a comparison is waste of time IMO. Sure they are both metal, but thats about all they have in common.

Varg most likely listened to and evoloved they sound of Venom, but they are nothing alike.

k, so do you believe any BM(black metal, not bowel movements :P ) came before 1990?

KD had the story telling in songs, the singing style and look of BM before anyone else i've seen. yes his music was crappy and dated if you attempt to listen to it now and my favorite song of his when i was like 12 was some twisted xmas tune, but i just don't see a better example before him.

imo, KD is to black metal as black sabbath is to heavy metal. Not the best example, but probably the first. IMO black sabbath was at the time "hard rock" as led zeppelin was, but they laid the foundation for heavy metal and certain tracks of sabbath taken on their own are heavy metal, and if I had to name the first heavy metal band, it' d probably be sabbath, but clearly they are not true "heavy metal".

now, the only metal of anykind i'd listen to with respect are Slayer albums from "Show No Mercy to Seasons in the Abyss" and Sepultura's "Beneath the Remains to Roots".

k, so do you believe any BM(black metal, not bowel movements :P ) came before 1990?

No, I do not. Maybe a demo from Mayhem or Burzum, but as far as official real releases, no, anything before 1990 was not BM. But remember my narrow point of view when it comes to BM - I do enjoy a number of bands (Immortal, Enslaved, Burzum and Emperor) but only consider 1 band to be real BM, one band that embraced all the anti socialism that 99% of all other bands simply say they "believe in satan/evil/killing/whateverelseyoucanthinkof...that being Burzum. You see, Varg was a unique, strong individual (Im not here to argue about the right or wrong of his beliefs though) and that personality came through in his music. He didnt simply pose, but he put action into words. This is what BM was suppose to be, a rejection of everything and every constraint put upon the soul by the powers that be. But almost all the bands simply played the game and had no true beliefs.

Also I have always thought Mayhem sucked, while many consider them some kind of founding fathers and should be held up to some godly status.


[KD had the story telling in songs, the singing style and look of BM before anyone else i've seen.

Sarco___o did the whole look before KD.

yes his music was crappy and dated if you attempt to listen to it now and my favorite song of his when i was like 12 was some twisted xmas tune, but i just don't see a better example before him.

Sarco___o. I think they were from Brazil

imo, KD is to black metal as black sabbath is to heavy metal. Not the best example, but probably the first. IMO black sabbath was at the time "hard rock" as led zeppelin was, but they laid the foundation for heavy metal and certain tracks of sabbath taken on their own are heavy metal, and if I had to name the first heavy metal band, it' d probably be sabbath, but clearly they are not true "heavy metal".

No, BS (or Earth as they were called before the name change) has always been a blues band with rock/metal elements. They paved the way for heavy metal thats for sure. But the evolution (simplified) goes: rock-hard rock-metal- thrash metal-speed metal-death emtal- black metal. I would never say Iron Maiden were thrash or speed or anything else other than heavy metal.

KD/MF have never, and will never be BM.

k, i see your point. i personally can't stand to listen to kd or black metal nowadays anyway.

i always thought the evolution went
blues
rock & roll -beatles and such, pre '75
hard rock - sabbath, zepplin, ac/dc, van halen
heavy metal - i.e. metallica, megadeth,etc..
death metal - i.e. slayer, sepultura, morbid angel, cannibal corpse

then, after 89ish, ppl started re-categorizing new & older albums of heavy & death metal into subsections, like thrash, speed, black, etc...when no one really cared much back then cuz if u listened to metal, you listend to metal, and there just werent that many ppl that listend to it anyway.

i know little of iron maiden, except that "run to the hills, run for your life" sounds like hard rock imo.

Sarco___o. I think they were from Brazil

MF came out in 1980, King diamonds went solo in 84, and first solo album in 86, sarco___o had a demo in 86, with a first LP in 87.

quite frankly all the categories can be a real pain. I prefer to say I like metal, whether that means i'm listening to Sabbath, Priest, Type "O", Metallica, etc....
If the guitars are distorted, the sound heavy, doesn't matter to me if they are riffing @ 90 mph or playing slow and dirgy.
I personally have never cared for the "black/death" genre, but i'll listen to a Cradle of filth or slayer cd and really enjoy it. I either like the music/style from a band, or I don't. Though I may like the sound of that music, I can usually only "take" the growling vocals so long before it's on to another disc.

who's seen or heard of this

http://www.beatallica.com/

never saw that one before... though I own several of the "Apocalyptica" cd's which have their own "unique" twist on Metallica and metal overall.

I could very well be mistaken since MF/KD are not high on my interest level, but didn’t KD start using the corpse paint after he went solo? 85/86? Anyway, I guess you could say he got the idea from Alice Cooper or KISS. Maybe even Misfits or The Damned. It could even be ancient Germanic/Teutonic in origin. Who really knows. My only point (and I am to blame for going off track Im sure :P ) is that the music is NOT BM.

I am in agreement w/ both of you though....catagories are overused and annoying. But they do have there uses. I dont like to say I listen to metal since so many bands are lumped into the term that people get the wrong idea....I do not want ANYONE thinking I liked Iced Earth, Avenged Sevenfold or the rest of there cohorts. I dispise more than 90% of metal, so I tend to be specific when mentioning music I like. Even though today I only put it in one of two catagories….good music and shi**y music. :clap:

^^ the last line is perfect!

same reason i won't say i listen to metal, I just say "slayer before dave left, and sepultura before the bros split" to ppl in the know.

i don't want ppl to think i listen to metallica which to every who doesn't listen to "metal" is the only thing that comes to mind. I like for whom the bell tolls, harvestor of sorrow, one, and that's about it.

If anyone is old enough to remember when metallica "metallica" came out, "enter sandman" was played over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over again. any rock station during that first 12 months afterward had a track from that album as every other song. Every guy driving around with hair longer than 4 inches had that album playing on repeat.

That ruined metallica forever for me.

I was lucky enough ( or old enough... ) to see Metallica at a local club in '82 (i think), the Ride the Lightning tour... my first shot of thrash, damn near blew me away. though I've enjoyed their other stuff ( i actually don't listen to much radio so any "overplay" is my own fault ) that early impression was tough to follow.
My thing is I don't like all metal, don't hate all country or rap, like a small portion of instrumentalists, etc... which for some people is hard to understand. You know--they'll lump you as a "metalhead", or whatever.
Oh well, whatever I like I like, I don't listen to music to please anyone else ( i'm too old to worry about trivial crap like that ).
Either a band's "sound" hooks me, or it doesn't.

1982 was Kill Em All.

And Dave, Beatallica is pretty cool.

^ i could be off a year or so; it was wasp & metallica, and it was the "ride" tour.. old age tends to forget some of the info...

So many metal bands to check out...so little time...

Thanks for all the replies guys, I never expected a 5 page thread from this!

neither would have i. this is cool.

I'm surprised that no one mentioned Symphony X. ...VERY progressive metal.
If you're not already familiar with them, check out Outworld. Rusty Cooley is, by far, one of the most talented guitarists on the planet!
Other than those, I tend to prefer the old-school versus the new.
Anthrax
SOD
Testament
Megadeth (Rust in Peace is STILL one of my favorite albums of all time)
Slayer
Death
Cynic
Sepultura (early... think Arise)
Pantera
Metallica (as someone stated before, prior to the black album)
Metal Church
Cacophony
Iron Maiden
Judas Priest
I could go on and on...

Excellent taste!

the new architects album "ruin" is worth a listen.

as is the new Nile album "Ithyphalic"

I see one person has name soilwork, definately an awesome band, if you like in flames, you have to pick them up. New album is coming out soon, and if you haven't heard it I totally recommend picking up Stabbing the Drama. In Flames is pure melodic death metal awesomeness.
Although I have not seen anyone mention Corrosion of conformity, Down (spetember 26th y'all), Dark Tranquility, Crowbar, Trivium (while they look bad their older stuff is awesome)
I do love Pantera, Damage plan (R.I.P. Dime) and hellyeah. Just to name a few, Iced Earth is awesome as well if you like epic metal. (new album as well)

Some ones that people like, that I don't understand, Bullet for my valentine (yay screaming emo, and don't try to argue this unless you've seen them live, and if you have... you wouldn't argue this) as I lay dying (same as bullet), Lamb of God (hardcore just isn't my scene, plus their live shows have alot to be desired, but they have my respect unlike the last 2 bands), and Shadows Fall (they put on a great show on ozzfest and I do respect them, but I just can't get into their music.)

oh and P.S. am I the only one who sees Lordy (what a horrible name) as horrible?

for the metal heasds stuck playing 80's and 90's video games, check these links.

amazing is all i have to say

www.vgmetal.com
www.myspace.com/entertainmentsystem
www.myspace.com/bitgenocide

I just listened to that... wow, that is awesomely nerdy. I do like it though. I guess metal deep down is nerdy

well metal is meant to be underground.. not whats popular.. so of course its always gonna be nerdy.. cause your always gonna find the guys like me.. that worship metal.. people who dont care about petty things like listening to what everyone else is (whats considered cool)

very true. whens the last time you heard hatebreed or opeth on public radio?

new soilwork in my opinion is terrible. However, their older stuff was great!!! Any ISIS fans??

bands like Soilwork and In Flames older stuff was way better.. then their new stuff.. however i still like there newer stuff.. why give up on a band from changing styles.. just realize that what they used to be will never be the same.. basically like listening to another band..

there are many bands that have done this.. Sentenced, Amorphis, Construcdead, Darkane, Hypocrisy.. the list can go for a long time.. yet all are still great bands

In Flames is an awesome example of a changing sound. I play a lot of In Flames in my car but everytime I put on Soundtrack to Your Escape my gf actually likes it a little and is surprised when I tell her it's In Flames.

oh i have no problem with it, i have a very broad taste in my metal, i just started listening to them when they were faster and more i guess you could say underground so i got used to that. But you're very correct, look at a band like Anathema, started out like doom metal, now theyre something more like art/progressive rock and one of my alltime favorite bands

new soilwork in my opinion is terrible. However, their older stuff was great!!! Any ISIS fans??

how can you listen to stabbing the drama and not think it's a great song. (the song itself) It's powerful, deep, and yes the true definition of melodic death metal.

I agree with the Soundtrack To Your Escape album, WeaponX, it's an insanely awesome album

how can you listen to stabbing the drama and not think it's a great song. (the song itself) It's powerful, deep, and yes the true definition of melodic death metal.

i can agree with you that is a great song.. but its not True melodic death metal.. the first 2 Soilwork albums, and the first 5 In Flames albums were truly melodic death metal.. there newer stuff is just Gothenburg Modern Rock... listen to the difference, and you will notice a big difference.. i also recommend Gardenian, Within-Y, Ablaze My Sorrow..etc[/quote]

If you like That soilwork album, I highly recommend Katatonia - A Great Cold distance. One of the best written, best produced and just catchiest damn rock/metal albums I've ever heard. I really cant get enough of the album!

for you opeth fans!

i found something amazing. opeth on piano! no lie this stuff is done really well. download the music and you wont be disappointed i think.

http://www.myspace.com/pianopeth

Anyone heard new soilwork yet? pretty sweet come back!

....Cynic...

An incredible band! Amazing Jazz/Metal fusion! One of my favorite metal release of all times.

For anyone who is not familar with them, make sure you check out Focus, A milestone in the genre. Nothing else like it has EVER been released, although Atheist comes close. Odd time signatures....21/16 in Uroboric Forms....playing in anything x/8 time signatures can be hard, especially at high speeds, but playing something over x/16 at the tempo for Uroboric Forms just messes with your mind.

Sean Malone is a madman on the bass and Chapman Stiick!

Black Metal:
Burzum, Dark Funeral, Immortal, Emperor, Dargonlord, Rise, Dark Throne, Dimmu Borgir, Apostasy, Marduk, Ninnuam, Ragnarok, Sacrementum, Warlust, Unlord, Will Of The Ancients, Satyricon

If you have to hear them, make sure to check out Negura Bunget from Romania if you are into atmosphere with your BM.

Other: Ved Buens Ende Written in Waters avant-garde jazz BM...unique and sour!

Sean Malone is an innccreedddiiibblelee bassist! Plays his ___ off in cynic and gordian knot!!

I've also heard he wrote a book on Jaco's playing technique

OMG NOONE SAY EVERYTIME I DIE?!?!?! :P

ETID, Poison the Well, Haste The Day, Maylene +TSOD, Vanna, As I Lay Dying, Bleeding Through, Hatebreed, The Bled, Chiodos, Drop Dead Gorgeous, The Devil Wears Prada, 18 Visions, Fear Before The March of Flames, He Is Legend, Hopesfall, It Dies Today, Most Precious Blood, Norma Jean, Remembering Never, Throwdown, Terror, Unearth, With Honor, and a bunch more :relief: i havent heard a lot of people mention most of those here. :)

i havent heard a lot of people mention most of those here. :)
Theres a reason for that..... :P

^OUCH!

^OUCH!

After reading that again, I did come off a bit harsh....but it was not my orignal intent.....no, really! I simply meant the topic of this thread mentions metal, not tough guy hardcore.

Hah! yeah out of all the bands he mentioned the only one i slightly care for is Unearth. But meh

haha tough guy hardcore. i just love ETID and PTW i cant live w/o them :)

dude MPB is awesome and so is the Bled

I just had Type O Negative Halloween, good times

I find it slightly amazing that it took until the 3rd page for someone to mention Slayer, the 4th page to mention Celtic Frost, Iron Maiden, and Type O Negative, and the 6th page to mention S.O.D. I didnt see anyone else notice this.

Also my list;
Iron Maiden (have owned EVERY album), Metallica (saw them live 8 Nov. 2004), Megadeth, Slayer, Celtic Frost, Type O Negative (and Carnivore), SOD, Rammstein, Ministry, Nailbomb (glad to see some others have heard them), Sepultura, Exodus, and recently Strapping Young Lad.

I also listen to XM 42, though just a little heavy on the extreme stuff for my tastes.

Between the Buried and Me
Necrophagist

norma jean really isnt metal..more hardcore then metal just christian hardcore.

glassjaw definatly not metal.

all I can say if you never were at original L'amours in Brooklyn in the old days you do not qualify......

Some of the bands I listen to. They range from Black Metal to Melodic Metal, so quite a nice selection on the metal variants-

Norther
Sylosis
Dominia
Megaherz
Anterior
Rammstein
Dimmu Borgir
Naglfar
Nightrage
Dark Tranquility
Attic of Love
Elvenking
Sonata Artica
Delain
Nightwish
Amatory

I do listen to stuff like Disturbed and Godsmack, but I have found that the stuff coming out of Europe and Russia is just so much better. I'm more into the Melodic Metal/Death Metal. Basically metal with usually something like a Violin, flute, orchestra etc. Vocals range from a female vocalist with a very nice singing voice, to the usual metal screaming, to a combo of the two. Just has a fresh addictive sound that is missing from what's coming out of the U.S., and that's not just towards metal but all genres. Only American band on my list is Attic of Love and they're a small band originally out of New York. Basically Tool meets Jethro Tull, very good stuff.

I love listening to all of these artists and can't recommend any of them enough...But Anterior is still my top. Can't wait for their next album.

Yeah, any of the Norwegian black metal. Gorgoroth, etc. Can't really stand any of those hardcore, or whatever, bands. Had to put up with them/their fans too many times.

Hey i saw Kreator and Destruction play at l'amours when I was a sophomore in high school. amaaazing night

http://www.cracktheskye.com/


OH HELL YES!!!

that's pretty awesome. i've liked mastodon since i first heard them several years ago, but i haven't bought any of their records for some reason. i think this record is the one i might start with.

definately check out blood mountain if you like a bit angrier, they are saying this album will have more of a progressive/classic rock sound. which is still awesome cause they've managed to retain their same sound.

All That Remains, Protest the Hero, and Killswitch, 3 of the greatest bands ever!

hardcore>all? lol im a hardcore kid so idk.

too many bands to jus name 3 as the best i have way too much music on my ipod and i know there all insane

Anyone pick up the new Lamb of God today? I'm listening right now (downloaded from AmazonMP3). So far so good.

Meshuggah
Rammstein
Extol

3 very different bands I know but they're the ones i've been listening to the most lately :P

any post-metal fans... Neurosis, Isis, Mouth of the Architect, Cult of Luna? good shtuff

definately check out blood mountain if you like a bit angrier, they are saying this album will have more of a progressive/classic rock sound. which is still awesome cause they've managed to retain their same sound.

hey, thanks for the suggestion. imo darkest hour is another band that has really refined their sound without losing any of their originality.

oh yes Darkest Hour is good good stuff! Ever listen to Gojira?

i listened to whatever they had up on myspace a couple months ago, and it's not my cup of tea.

as i lay dying , demon hunter ,underoath,haste the day .jesus wept,within,agony scene ,impending doom just too name a few

Winger FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!






































ok maybe not.........



Exodus, Slayer, Mercyful Fate..old school all day

Form autumn to ashes, evergreen terrace, lamb of god, etc.
