Calling all Metal-Heads...

[Nic01101011]

Took the words out of my mouth. Most of the bands listed in here aren't even metal. I know, because I've had a Ph.D in Metalology since 2001. My dissertation was largely about waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles bands who have a large amount of fans who seem to think the band is metal. Ex: Slipknot.

Furthermore, most of the shit trying to be passed off as metal these days simply is not metal.

its all metalcore. but im sure you're aware that there are some good bands out there now.

the chasm
destroyer 666
arghoslent
crimson massacre

I saw Born Of Osiris last time they were in Texas, Great show.

Nice. Born of Osiris is one of my favorites.

Needs drums badly...

Up until a couple of weeks ago they had one of the best out there, Charlie Zeleny. He plays with Blotted Science and tours with Dream Theater's keyboardist now, along with his own session stuff.

So whats up with Metal lately? Why does it fucking suck?
And why do people consider shit like Mudvayne metal?

I saw Behold The Arctopus live, They are a little too technical. Kinda can make your head hurt.... I know it makes mine hurt.



And I understand not liking the crazy destroy your throat vocals, Different strokes? lol

Ive started to lean towards metalcore more:



But my all time favorite will always be Bodom. Alexi Laiho is such a fuckin character, and he has chops of doom. :)

only metal song i like is raining blood by slayer.

[Jand3rson]

Awesome show tonight in about 30 minutes, I'm stoked as hell!

Check out Behold... the Arctopus, Blotted Science and Spastic Ink. No singers. Its really nerdy and technical stuff. Not sure if you'll dig it.

Blotted Science sounds pretty good, thanks for the suggestion.

[Tavern Gnome]

^^ Excellent post :) Best band in the world... ever.

Okay kids,

Can someone direct me to some metal without screamer-growler singers? I love listening to the musicianship of hard metal, but the singers get on my nerves.

I dig the chops, the chord structures, time signatures, breakdowns, etc, but the dudes blowing out their throats gets frickin old.

Hook an old man up.

Dream Theater might be what you are looking for then.

As I Am



Or possibly Nevermore

Born
...the chorus is epic
