hmm...i've gotten quite stuck to Avenged Sevenfold's Waking the Fallen album. not their City of Evil latest album, that's almost mainstream metal. i'm talking bout d album which kickstarted their career. anyone here has an opinion of Waking the Fallen?
yknow, coz most nu-metal bands dont play guitar solos anymore. they put more focus into riffs and screams. the lead guitarist in avenged sevenfold is pretty slick, IMO. i think he got an award for Best Young Shredder last year.

Nile's egyptian metal is really aggressive too, besides Amon Amarth, the viking metal band.

hey...are all of d metal bands here scream incoherently? i'm deeply annoyed with the incomprehensible voice of most metal bands... but lately i grew into Alexi Laiho's Children of Bodom, particularly for its hyper guitar riffs.

so guys....any good bands to recommend me? i dont mind headcrushing drums or guitar riffs n solos, but i really cant accept thrashy voice. any bands to kickstart? preferably metal bands with clear voices

slayer n megadeth? the song 'eyes of d insane' is bloody crappy, didnt like that at 1st listen. pbly christ illusion is a crappy album? any Raining Blood or Angel of Death sounds in there?

if the guitarplay is good enough then pbly i'll try ignoring d voice, like this one song from Amon Amarth... tho i cant really remember what song it is...

hey soulfly... power metal bands? such as what, exactly? Killswitch Engage? i hate nasal singing too, like Avenged Sevenfold's Beast and the Harlot... i didnt even cared to listen to the whole song, it irrate d hell out of me.
but their song from Waking the Fallen, Second Heartbeat (which includes a fantastic closing solo) is an example of metal that i like

let's see...how bout Bullet for my Valentine? the song Tears Dont Fall is brilliant, again, with fantastic closing solo.
