you guys are missing the whole point
I dont listen to it and that is the sad part
if it were great metal i would be listening to it!
it seems to me 8 out of 10 tunes are complete shit on hard attack
and they play a little of everyone that is metal.

Bengal, your post on the Viv vs dio thread got me to thinking about the state of metal right now and much like other forms of music metal is becoming very sterile and predictable
Like i said they are still some real great metal bands but there are MORE that are very generic

It's always interesting to debate the state of metal.

Only problem is there is always one or two people who disagree with the assessments.

But I agree with what you've said. Metal is becoming very stale. I tried to watch Headbangers Ball this past Saturday and could barely get through the broadcast.

Only band I thought sounded OK was a new band called Municipal Waste. The singer sounds like Mike Muir from Suicidal.

But most of it sounded exactly like the band that came before them on the show. Very stale, it seems to me.

If I was a young metal fan, I'd be pissed at the crap the music biz is shoving down thier throats. But they probably don't know how good it can be. Blissfully Ignorant.

[GodOfRhythm]

BLISFULLY IGNORANT LOL!

Excuse me if I find an A minor rock & roll EVH rip off riff or the same fucking 'chug' in E riff BORING beyond comprehension.

The only 'normal', if you want to call it so, metal band I can come up with, that I can listen to, is Nevermore. Maybe Symphony X

yeah they are good!
there are a few that catch my ear but it is rare maybe i am just too anal about my metal but then again i grew up with the guys that INVENTED IT!
SABBATH
devil driver is real good and i like some demon hunter and i dig some
arch enemy
but really i like the old school guys that are still kickin it like testament,exodus,megadeth,etc
I think metallica hexed metal after they went UH? INSANE!

dude i love those bands and they are not the ones i am refering to
i really like OPETH as well and many more like that but there are so many that just plain suck!
BTW, i love cannible corpse and napalm,morbid angel is friggin killer
but these guys were doing that stuff years ago when it was fresh to the ear
I was watching ace vetura with my little nephew and he is into a lot of the new stuff and he saw the cameo of cannible corpse
and goes wow they sound like so and so and i go little dude cannible is a band from years ago before you were even born
so who the fuck copied who? LOL!!!

[Spivonious]

For every original band there will always be 100 bands that just copy what others are doing. It's not a unique situation to today; look at all of the hair bands that sprang up in the late 80s/early 90s.

And who watches Headbanger's Ball these days? All they show are the horribly poseury screamo bands.

[joelayres]

Personally, I haven't found anything to my liking in years.

very well said

[shadowcat]

If you want good metal, go search for it instead of having some whatever-kind-of-media-channel forcefed you shit.

Works for me.

There's a thread in "the Artists and their Gear" section which might be of help to you. And coincidently, two of the three bands I posted there are cookieless.

[Ben...]

Gee, I wonder what thread that is? I really hope that thread does get off the ground because I too am in need of some new music to listen to that isn't mainstream stuff with those horrid vocals. I can take those vocals in small amounts but only if there is really killer instrumentation to make up for it. Thanks for the free advertising Shadowcat. I'll go list which bands on my lists are clean vocals and which aren't.

[Trem]

Nope

Now fuck off.

[Drake S.]

This is why I listen to Nevermore & EverGrey all the time or jump back to CD's from the time I was in High school I can't understand the vocals at all, some of the music is great even brutal wich I like but the guy gargling tacks just doesn't cut it.
