HOLY SO INDIE OMG HOLY I CAN'T EVEN WHAT IS THIS IM SO INDIE WHAT THE .

This might belong in a sub-genre, but for me it's good metal because it's heavy, well-crafted and definately headbanging material. It's just melodic enough give it some flavor too.

that, this thread isn't dying.

I really like Soulfly.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I really like Soulfly.

Max writes some cool stuff but I haven't checked him out since primitive. Soulfys first disc was awesome.

[eisfeld]

I really like Soulfly.

I liked Max better with Sepultura, still Soulfly is damn nice when playing live.

Lack of Communication by Ratt.
Cover band Frost does some interesting twists on it.
Most i like, great guitars, some good vocals.
The lyric change of the punch line from Back Off to Whack Off is beyond lame.

I never got in to Soulfly but I was a big Sepultura fan. I was listening to "Arise" just a few days ago. My band in high school played a cover of Territory off the Chaos AD album.

I loved Sepultura back in the old days. I usually don't listen to Soulfly but I've seen them twice on festivals and even if you're not a fan, they sure know how to rock the crowd.

Haha, missed that.
Well, that kid perfected the art of headbanging. No other singers shakes his emo hair that good.

Just for the sake of good mustic

Quality isn't good unfortunately - still waiting for the DVD

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

Other than "And the World Returned", I don't like At The Gates. But I really like

Disturbed, Bullet for My Valentine, All That Remains, In Flames, Scar Symmetry, 5 Finger Death Punch, Trivium and Killswitch Engage. And mixed stuff from Drowning Pool, Machine Head etc.

So does anyone know anything about The Butcher Babies???

Friend told me about them, but I can't find anything that has any high quality sound

This is the best I could find:



They've only been doing live shows in the LA area (mostly) so far but are supposedly working on an Album.

Yeah, the lead singers are hot, but I'm just trying to figure out if they're any good, and that's hard to do when there's nothing out there but stuff with horrible sound quality

If nothing else, they're at least fun to watch
