for industrial taste.... i'd go for Fear Factory anytime....

there's nothing wrong about being mainstream

hmm.... i thought White Zombie was kinda 'white metal' or whatever genre you may call....

has anybody listened to Probot? told to be Dave Grohl's metal project ....

the Jack Black part was kinda 'funny'

now i'm currently listening to Machine Head's 'Through The Ashes of Empires' ... not bad eh this album... compare to 'The Burning Red' ....

haih.... nobody listening to thrash metal nowadays ka?

I love Megadeth's Rust In Peace, Youthanasia, Cryptic Writings, and The System Has Failed

I never really listened to grindcore before, except for a few names like Napalm Death.

eh.... u guys already heard Iron Maiden's tribute album .... "Number from the Beast" or not? quite nice eh.

not metal enough to me. just plain rock with distortion plus some goth-ish sound bla bla bla. there not even any solo in their songs.... boring.

ROADRUNNER RECORDS SIGNS MEGADETH
MAY 15, 2006 (Megadeth.com)

New York , NY - Roadrunner Records is proud to announce the signing of Megadeth. Already known as one of rock's most forward-thinking bands, Megadeth and its frontman Dave Mustaine have cast a long shadow on the metal and hard rock landscape with millions of records sold worldwide and an undeniable influence echoed in scores of young bands today.

"We are proud to be working with one of the chief architects of modern hard rock and metal: Dave Mustaine. Megadeth and Roadrunner have led parallel careers on the cutting edge of metal for years now. The combination of the two is bound to be lethal," says A&R man, Mike Gitter.

Mustaine says of his new home "It is exciting to be some place you are respected, understood and appreciated. The truth is there's a lot of people I've known there over the years. I'm stoked we're all coming back together again to work on this project."

Megadeth has begun work on its as-yet-untitled Roadrunner debut under the watchful eye of Mustaine and co-producer Jeff Balding (who helmed 2004's The System Has Failed) .

Mustaine is presently finalizing the lineup for Megadeth's Gigantour 2 festival tour of the US .

i heard that Trivium actually sucks when doing live (all over the net)

agreed

probably many forgotten the root of metal music started with thrash

the big 4 : Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax

they started with thrash. they might popularized speed metal, but their main genre was thrash.

he didn't scream actually.... he tried to growl but didn't really work great

never heard of the band.... yet

GWAR's genre is around thrash punk and heavy metal type..... their music are not that aggressive compare to their 'image'.

i think Green Jelly is more to punk rock instead of heavy metal
