Hmm, my money's on Cannibal Corpse.

Post-metal? That's a new one, even for me.

Could you name one for an example?

Shoegazing? WTF?

Post-metal is a glorified term for instrumental wankery. But having said that, I quite enjoy a few mainly Pelican as they're the most "metal".

Actually, the new Slipknot is more metal than the previous albums. I'm too lazy to write an essay but the short story is this:

It's definitely the most metal-sounding Slipknot, but overall, it's a more varied, more evenly spaced album, so I guess that's the reason why people are somewhat confused, and that they think less fast songs = not metal.

Dino Cazares and an 8stringer? Hmm, video proof, someone? As far as I know, only the guys from Meshuggah and Rusty Cooley have used 8-string guitars.

Of all the German thrash acts, Sodom has always been the lowest in my book.

Kreator's Pleasure To Kill slaughters anything Sodom has done.

EDIT: Thanks @ JonSpark.

Give me Fear Factory material any day, though.

Trey Azagthoth is a genius.

Honestly, I never thought Chuck Schuldiner was a great singer or a great soloer either. His vocals and solos just don't do anything for me.

I do think he was a great songwriter, though. Albums like Human, Individual Thought Patters are awesome.

Couldn't get into Control Denied stuff. Not my cup of metallic tea!

Ugh. Tried getting into this band but was turned off by the, to me, directionless music. Gimme atmospheric BM ala Enslaved any day.

Haha, Crossover (I'm not even sure what was crossed over) Thrash, eh? Municipal Waste are kinda fun, but only in small doses.

New Napalm Death = Awesome.

New Trivium = Hate the vocals, music's pretty okay.

Cradle of Filth never considered themselves as black metal, anyway. They always preferred to be called extreme metal.

Yeah, saw this, too and this time it's not so cringe-worthy. Metallica would prolly win it since it's Metallica. Overall, a not too bad list.

Dream Theater, good? Nah.

Short of me using profanity, Dream Theater are frickin' awesome! Have been a long time fan and when I saw them last year in Singapore, they absolutely blew me away. Fantastic showmanship from the members.

Highly recommended albums for starters:

Images and Words
Awake
Falling into Infinity
Train of Thought
Systematic Chaos

Death metal legends Malevolent Creation are coming to Asia! Well, Indonesia and Singapore that is. Dates here. Anybody planning to go?

Wow. I'm actually kinda intrigued by the above ^.

Lack of Comprehension is my favourite Death song of all-time.

Isn't this the most badass cover, ever?



Can't wait for this beast to arrive!

Though, I must say that the cover is teh brutalz. Hopefully the moral guardians of ours are conveniently myopic when reviewing this.

Calling Quorthon a piece of shit is akin to having your balls targeted for destruction. I may not enjoy his stuff but without his contribution your beloved metalcore nonsense wouldn't exist.

Learn your metal history first before shooting off.

Oh, man, here we go again...this is the METAL thread, not I likes Linkin Park, or whatever crap band that is soiling the good name of rock.

Me!

Must listen to these:

Agenda of Swine
Gadget
Insect Warfare
Mumakil
Napalm Death (The new one is amazing)
Rotten Sound

Obscura.

While the guitar solos are no where near's the dude from Necrophagist but overall they have better songs. German Tech Death Metal ftw!
