Talk about going soft, have you heard Fear Factory lately? Horrible...

I definitely like the newer metal better than pre-90's stuff. Most of my collection is post-2000 though. If you like lots of melody look into Hell Within and/or The Autumn Offering. If you prefer hard and/or heavy sounds (like me) check out Kataklysm and/or Misery Index.

Have any links to some of there new stuff? they havent came out with a CD since 04/05.

That seems to be the new thing though. Going soft. Distrubed and Slipknot suck these day. They went wayyyy soft.

I have to agree with you there. To me, none of Disturbed's albums really compare to 10000 fists, only 1 song on that album could be considered 'soft.' I like the fact that it is metal, yet you can comprehend what theyre saying. I listened to some of their new stuff(post-Indestructible) and I didn't even finish listening to the song, let alone even consider downloading it.

Some of my favorite metal bands include
Metallica(the older stuff, the only song I like off of Death Magnetic is suicide & redemption)
Iron Maiden(You just can't not listen to songs like the Trooper, and Iron Maiden)
The Sword(the songs may all sound the same, but some good riffs)
SOAD
A7X(mostly the city of evil album)
Breaking Benjamin(yeah, alot is soft, but songs like blow me away are good)
Godsmack(Mostly the IV album)

You can't leave out the true classics like
Black Sabbath/Ozzy osbourne
Blue Oyster Cult
Deep Purple
Def Leppard
Guns n roses
the hendrix experience
Led Zeppelin (of course)
If someone were to ask me what my all time favorite band is, I'd have to say it's Zeppelin.


And if any metal band members see this, NO MORE WHINEY EMO SOFTIE CRAP! We don't care who's polls say whats better, stick to what you're good at.

Slipknot has definitely gone soft... I like their newer album for the most part, and really wish they would remaster Iowa and their self-titled albums. The main reason I don't listen to those older albums is 'cuz their quality (and volume level) is so crappy.

Anybody listen to All Shall Perish or Whitechapel? They are both more modern death metal/deathcore, and are my favorite bands right now. Kataklysm is also great, as is Chimaira, but I've listened to those bands a bit much

Born of Osiris is my favorite hardcore metal band, awsome music. They're young so they'll be making good music for a long time.
