i dont know the sub genre of metal i listen to but its mostly things along the lines of Despised Icon, August Burns Red, Parkway Drive, Born of Osiris and Suicide Silence.
Seth you have good taste in music =]. But nu metal isn't all bad mostly bad but not all. Mushroomhead's new stuff I'd consider nu metal, and it's good. Slipknot would be considered nu metal and their old stuff is good. New Slipknot blows dick though =\. And there is such thing as christian metal. You can't tell they're christian but still. AILD is like one of my fav bands of all time next to Zeppelin. And they're christian. underOATH is christian too, right? They're good.
The idea of christian metal is an oxymoron. Other lame shit is anything that ends with "core" in the genre ie metalcore, deathcore. Metal should be pure and not blended with hardcore. Nu-metal really has nothing to do with metal. They just share metal in the name. Some of my favourite bands: Bathory, Burzum, Emperor, Immortal, Darkthrone, Dark Funeral, Mayhem, Nokturnal Mortum, Behemoth, Belphegor, Amon Amarth, Dark Tranquility, Aborted, Old CoF, Dimmu Borgir, Decapitated, Nargaroth, 1349, Gorgorth, Rotting Christ, Satyricon, Necrophagist, At the Gates, Vader, Dissection, BloodBath, Old man's child, Cannibal Corpse, Kalmah, Ensiferum, Hypocrisy, Death, Cryptopsy, Katakylsm, Meshuggah, Skinless, Quo Vadis, Slayer, Vornagar, Nile
I do like nu metal its just that most isnt good also chrisitan metal does exist... its just no good whatsoever
can't wait for season 3 I am unsure about Cradle of Filth. In my younger days I enjoyed it quite a bit. Then Thornography came out and destroyed my likings for the band. However their cover of Fear of the Dark by Iron Maiden was quite tasty. I can play it on the g-tar.... then again it really isn't that hard. So I got nothing to brag about Peace broOOotal!
I have way to many fav bands to list. But here's a few. Buckethead!!, sepultura, Burzum, Bathory, Cryptopsy, Enslaved, Manowar, Megadeth, Metallica (earlier albums), Morbid Angel, Possessed, Slayer, Black Sabbath, Venom, Trivium (only some songs), TYR, Order of The Ebon Hand, Satyricon, Norther, Ensiferum, Danzig, Arckanum, Dethclock, Candlemass, White Zombie, Nightwish, Immortal, Behemoth, Mercyful Fate, Kreator, Drudkh, cannibal corpse, alestorm, Gamma Ray, Blindgaurdian, Facloner, helloween, Panthiest, and my Favourite Death Metal band: OBITUARY!!!!! someone mentioned Funeral Metal, Panthiest and Bathory are good. and like most metal heads, Im very open minded. I also like alot of old music, music that had quality and meaning like simon and garfunkel, n loads of other bands from 1960 - 1989.9
