this could be any metal band of any type of metal. like nu metal sipknot or disturbed
or death metal hatebreed and cattle decapitation.
whats your favorite?!!
my favorite metal band is a progressive metal band named dream theater. greatest drummer of all time, amazing vocalist, one of the greatest guitarists and bassists. whats not to like??
The level of ignorance in this thread about heavy metal is astounding and offensive. Nu metal is a misnomer, Slipknot and Disturbed are not metal in the least. Hatebreed is NOT death metal in the SLIGHTEST. Rammstein isn't much of a metal band either.
With that being said, the best metal band (and my favorite) is doubtlessly Iron Maiden. Like someone already said, they have never sold out and never will.
troll much lol. y r u getting all technical im just litsen off possible and valid answears for people lol. im not trying to make everything so technical god dude get a life lol.
anyways give me your oppinions in the band called bless the fallen.
there not really new. there last album was in 07 but i saw them on the internet and i really dug there sound tell me what you think about it!
Opeth is my favorite metal band. Great blending of death metal fury and soft artistic nuance, and they can masterfully display both of them
I also really like bands that aren't metal but have metal elements - bands like King Crimson and at some points Yes have genius applications of metal elements and metallic heaviness in their instrumentation.
Between The Buried and Me--If you like prog and you like metal, and you haven't heard of them (somehow) check 'em out. They are brilliant. And they manage to make all their music influenced by only one drug: Caffeine (in the form of cheerwine no less....)
PossibleInsanity, you're not funny. The name of this thread isn't "Let's be sarcastic" =/
Anyway, a couple of my favorite metal bands are August Burns Red, which is more metalcore/progressive metal, Attack Attack! which is, again, metalcore with some electronica (sexy), and Project 86. I know none of these are true "metal" bands, but there aren't too many that really are. Most of them are older, like Iron Maiden and Metallica, which are both great. But nowadays there are just so many subgenres that you can't really call anything that's new "metal."
delossantosj, He's got a point, that would be Death Metal, it might even qualify as Brutal Death Metal. Just "Metal" is the old-school stuff, the original stuff--Metallica (first few albums) and Iron Maiden.
Haha we're not hatin' dude, just trying to get you to see that true metal is not made anymore. Btw, Dream Theater is the best! Petrucci is a guitar god
