Any real heavy metal fans out there?
 

bands like.. Amon Amarth, Strapping Young Lad, Meshuggah, Opeth, Nevermore, Emperor..... .... etc?

if so.... \m/:crazy:\m/

yo, over here
<=====

The new SYL kicks arse. I wish I could have saw them with Napalm Death and Arch Enemy a while ago but I had class that night, meh

By the way, Katatonia's "Viva Emptiness" is the best album of 2003 so far I think. This album has it all - atmosphere, melody, crunchy riffs. If you like metal at all do yourself a favor and buy/download it ASAP.

I'm digging the new Opeth - it's different, that's for sure, not particualry metal, but cool anyways. "Blackwater Park" is still their best IMO.

gorgoroth
(old) theatre of tragedy
emperor
burzum
my dying bride
carpathian forest

I just saw Spungfoo mention Arch Enemy. What a great band... I honestly think that they may be the best thing going in true metal right about now.

I also like:
SYL
Meshuggah
Opeth
In Flames
Napalm Death
Slayer (God Hates Us All proved that they have all the intensity they ever did and then some)
Dimmu Borgir
Hatebreed (this might seem an out-of-place addition but I have always considered them to be metal)
Old Man's Child
......good God, there are so many more to name... it would take me way too long to really get into it so I think I'll just leave it at what's there now.

FEaR Fac+ORY
ownz all yo assez

shai hulud

no, swedish metal rapes fear factory then feeds their remains to the crowd

Nothing can beat the melodies and riffs from sweden, nothing but Tallica....but Hetfield is the riff god, often barely working if working at all on his riffs

swEEEEt!

yeah.. the new SYL is pretty damn good.. allthough.. devins other side project is very very good as well.. .. check out Accelerated Evolution..

yeah.. Arch Enemy is good... but their new one is not as good as saaaaayyyy.. Burning Bridges..

Fear Factory had its day fo sho... but they lost me with Digimortal.

yes!.. i need to get that new katatonia.. ... in fact.. i think i may have dl'd that .. and then forgot to listen to it.. .. gonna have to search my HD for that.. hehe. I have all the older stuff..

The new Opeth (Damnation) is awesome.. for what it is... cannot wait for them to come through again.. this time with Porcupine Tree.

Saw Opeth recently with Lacuna Coil.. .. very good show.
Saw that SYL tour with Dark Tranquility,Napalm Death, the berserker (garbage) and NILE. What a fuckn show that was!!!!

anyhow.. nice to see some metal fanz!!


= ]

you and me both dude. a rap song with the words "back the fuck up" is sacrelige (sp?) in a fear factory song.

i've always been a huge pantera fan. they've never been anything but kick your fucking ass metal. the opening of "revolution is my name" is awesome. i also dig:

nile
cephalic carnage
discordance axis
agoraphobic nosebleed
deicide
disinter
anal cunt
the end
luddite clone
burnt by the sun

yupperz.. brandon11983 iz metal as fawk!

hehehehe

Pantera is red-neck hillbilly metal, and that's why it's sooo good.

Despite some weak-ass tracks on Digimortal FF still own in my opinion, no Metal album even comes close to the almighty Demanufacture.

NOTHING could beat Burning Bridges. Ever. Seed of Hate is probably my favorite song right now, btw...

naw.. SYL's 'City' destroys ff. ... imho

I like FF.. but... not nearly as much as many other metal bandz

bet'cher ass i am. and to Mr. Deflok: Demanufacture is by faaaaaar the best FF CD. The first 2 tracks just make you want to get up and smash something.

I'm new to the hardcore metal scene. I've always been a big Pantera fan and have been led into some of this the last year or so. I "discovered" Hatebreed and loved it. then htat led to Sworn Enemy and so on.

Some of my favs not already mentioned:

Killswitch Engage
Shadows Fall
Superjoint Ritual
Sworn Enemy
Lamb Of God
Nullset



Some classic metal favorites:
Pantera
Cannibal Corpse
Demented Ted
Morbid Angel

And just recently I found some Shai Hulud stuff and like it. And of course I'm downloading alot of the bands metnioned in this post that I've herad of before, but am not really familiar with.

Cradle of Filth
Opeth
Dimmu Borgir
Lacuna Coil
Cryptopsy
Arcturus

some of my favs...

yea man killswitch is metal as jesus, and id say this day forward are up there too, oh also cave in before they went pop- some beautiful metal work there

I'm not a real huge fan of most "real" metal but Fear Factory are probably my favourite band. Killswitch Engage is real good too.... any other metal I listen to isn't that heavy.

Superjoint Ritual ( best metal band right now :p )
Pantera
Sepultura
Type O Negative
In Flames
Opeth
Slayer ( whats metal without slayer eh? )
Strapping Young Lad
Static X
Iron Maiden
Dimmu Borgir

Good to see Type O Negative mentioned, can't wait for their new album, only a few more days now!

The heavier the better imho

I don't feel like typing too much, so I'll just refer you to KWSN's list, add a few:

Enter Chaos
Detonation
Dark Tranquillity

There's more I'm forgetting, but I can't think right now.

Yes, all good, all good. Metal is my favourite genre probably.
Some good bands mentioned here, fear factory are great but digimortal was a direction i didn't want to see them take.
Iron Maiden are classic!
White Zombie are distinct!
Celtic Frost are fantastic, one of the forerunners of the black/death metal genre.
Amorphis have some fantastic creativity going for them.
Acid Bath are an amazing band i have got into recently, go from death metal to folk songs the next, and make it sound good.
Heard only a bit from Kovenant, but i really like their "Jihad" song.
Obituary are good solid death metal.
And of course, Devin Townsend and his assorted projects.
And Mike Patton and his assorted projects!

Already have it.:D

w00000t METAL RULEZ


hehehehe

Hmm, is all that you've mentioned Heavy Metal or Black/Death Metal? I'm sure I saw some Nu Metal bands in there too, and Lacuna Coil, metal? :hmm:

This Thread Needs More Burzum

hey, i proudly listed Burzum!!


When night falls
she cloaks the world
in impenetrable darkness.
A chill rises
from the soil
and contaminates the air
suddenly...
life has new meaning.

Still, It Needs More Burzum!!!11one:D

nu metal? point one out.. .. and lacuna coil.. was only mentioned because they were part of an Opeth show... lol.


btw.. the new NEVERMORE IS THE SHIT!!! some great new trax.. check it out.
