I don't listen to the screaming metal bands. I have to be able to understand what the singer is saying.
I remember seeing a couple of posters stating they are metal fans.
Still, I'm wondering if any of you guys are into metal as well.
From the other posts in the Club Forums I read that some of you like the old-school bands like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, AC/DC and even some newer stuff like Type O Negative.
Just wondering if anyone of you is into ... well ... more extreme metal like the Gothenburg sound or Progressive. Like In Flames, Soilwork, Dark Tranquillity, Eluveitie, Paradise Lost or even into Power Metal like Blind Guardian or Hammerfall.
Any constructive posts will be appriciated - to any other posters: Feel free to troll.

Dragonforce, Mastodon, Disturbed, Slipknot.
^Are all ing terrible.
I love metal, but not bull pussy ass radio "metal" (or as me and my mates call it, "bro rock"). Disturbed, Mudvayne, Nickelback Slipknot, etc.
Is Nickelback considered metal?
Top 5 (some more metal than others)
Faith No More (I'll be at their show in Philly next month)
Fear Factory (Was just at the Trocadero with Prong last night- ing missed it due to work)
Type O negative (halloween night 2003- most fun concert I've ever been to)
Meshuggah
Prong -(awesome live. saw open for White Zombie in 95)
I am pretty picky about metal. I saw Megadeth in late March on their Rust in Peace 20 year anniversary tour. Mustaine is a badass, tbh.
A lot better than Slash tbh.
Mustaine or Slash play circles around the fruitcake in Radiohead, in my humble points of view.
I'm not huge into metal, but have friends who are. Saw both Anal and Goat last year - pretty wild shows.
Fear Factory is great
HahaI don't listen to the screaming metal bands. I have to be able to understand what the singer is saying.might say something similar - I don't listen to music where the singers sounds like an eunuch.
Iwrestledabearonce. Girl has sickly amazing clean and rough vocals.
I like GWAR
Who do you listen to?
First thought is - Female version of the devil wears prada or bullet for my valentine (hate those bands) ... second thought - hey there's more to that bandDidn't knew them - thx.
Too bad she isn't an Angela Gossow
I'm a big time "metal" fan. My love of the genre spans many of the sub-genres. I've been into hard rock/heavy metal my entire life. From Led Zeppelin to The 69 Eyes, I'm a card carrying metalhead.
But, as someone else said, the "bro rock" makes me want to yack.
Problem is, there are soooooo many sub-genres it's almost indistinguishable.
Metalcore
Hardcore
Deathcore
core core core.. You never really know
Ah, Sisk said just what was on my mind upon seeing this thread. There are a million types of metal, including heavy, nu, alternative, etc.
I consider myself a metalhead even though I enjoy a wide variety of genres and artists like OneRepublic, Lady Gaga etc.
My three favorite bands are Disturbed (nu-metal), In Flames (melodic death metal) and All That Remains (metalcore). Some songs I would recommend from each of them
Disturbed - there are too many good ones to list
Just Stop
Inside the Fire
Stupify
The Game
The Night
Indestructible
Stricken
In Flames
Discover Me Like Emptiness
Only For the Weak - one of the greatest songs of all time
Alias
Delight and Angers
(And if you like instrumental stuff, Jester's Dance, Dialogue with the Stars, Man Made God)
All That Remains
Empty Inside
Not Alone
Chiron
Six
This Calling
And Death in my Arms
Be The Catalyst
Truth be told, I'm not a fan of classic rock/metal.
And dimsah, I like Nickelback but I don't think it's metal.
I'm definitely more into progressive metal and as a guitar player, drawn to interesting guitar parts.
You can't love the Gothenburg sound without loving At the Gates, you can't like metal without liking At The Gates.
Favorite band right now has to be Cynic though. I saw them this past year with Between the Buried and Me, Scale the Summit and the Devin Townsend Project, and it was the best show I've ever seen hands down. Hours of musical mastery, it was a show where not a single one of the bands was a letdown, pretty rare, but Cynic was on another level than the rest.
The lights dimmed to a pale blue, and the audience just stood there and soaked in the music. No one was there to do anything but enjoy the moment and it was incredible.
Recommend: Evolutionary Sleeper, The Space for This, How Could I, and pretty much their entire discography.
Some of my other favorites:
Between the Buried and Me- Listen to the last two tracks off their last album (if you have 30 minutes to spare) and I dare you not to love these guys. Their album Colors was album of the year on pretty much every metal reviewers list a few years back for good reason.
Recommend: Desert of Song/Swim to the Moon, Colors, Mordecai, Aspirations
After the Burial- Pretty metalcore, but have some really interesting things going on with their rhythms and guitar parts. Amazing live.
Recommend: Berzerker, Cursing Akenaten, A Steady Decline, Fingers Like Daggers
Animals as Leaders-Instrumental progressive metal with some electronic influences. Absolutely amazing guitar work
Recommend: Tempting Time, Thoroughly at Home, CAFO
Scale the Summit-Another instrumental progressive metal band, out of Houston. Very tasteful with some rather good guitar work as well.
Recommend: Age of the Tide, the Great Plains, Saragasso Sea
The Crown-A bit down the line on the obscure scale, but have probably the meanest sounding death growls in all of metal. Had one album where the original singer left and Tomas from At the Gates took over vocal duties.
Recommend: Death is the Hunter, Executioner (Slayer of the Light), Deathexplosion
Protest the Hero-Very interesting progressive act. While the singer does scream at points, his clean vocals are the highlight of the records. The rest of the band are no slouches either and play their respective instruments at high levels. Very challenging.
Recommend: Blindfolds Aside, Bloodmeat, The Dissentience, The Divine Suicide of K
At the Gates are awesome!
If you're into progressive there's no way to leave out Paradise Lost. Have to go through your list when I'm back from work - you mentioned a few bands I don't know.
Moonspell anyone? Love that portugese metal and ever changing genre of the different albums.
Dude! They've been around for 10 yrs now, they must be doing something right.
\m/
SA used to not have any rock clubs/bars, now they are everywhere.
BackstageliveSA is a great place for a concert.
I know. It was in response to Leetonidas' inclusion of them along with Slipknot, Mudvayne and Disturbed. I should have quoted him.
I've been looking for something new that really hits me lately and I've yet to find anything I thought was really good. I've tried dozens of bands, all from similar genres.
Necro ist isn't bad but it gets boring pretty fast. The song "seven" off of Epitaph is alright. Reminds me of Morbid Angel from the early 90's.
Sonic Syndicate, Gojira, Melechesh, Dagoba Face, Aeon of Horus, Quo Vadis haven't really made the cut.
Holy ! I haven't been keeping up. Fear Factory released "Mechanize" earlier this year which has Dino returning on guitar.
I knew Dino was back in FF but I didn't know they put out another album yet.
I thought there was still some legal issues between Bell and Olde Wolbers/Herrera about the band name.
Man, it's a great disc. It's no Soul of a New Machine but it's
top notch. Hoglan is on drums and I hardly miss Raymond. He plays circles around Raymond in my opinion. Yeah. I believe Christian and Raymond threatened a lawsuit but I don't think anything came of it cuz they're touring right now.
I'm listening to it right now. Christploitation to be exact which is my favorite track so far.
I always liked Herrera but when I heard Hoglan was replacing him, I had absolutely no problem with it. I'm glad Dino's back in though. I prefer his tone and style a lot more than Olde Wolbers.
