Comalies was good.. so was the band before they sold out to the U.S. mainstream, now their songs are totally watered down, repetitive drivel. And the male vocals are still pointless..
I like to stick with Nightwish, Within Temptation, Dark Moor and Carved in Stone for my female vocals. Tarja's gone from Nightwish though

Neurosis - A sun that never sets - They fucking kick ass. Metal you can sleep to =)
Machine Head - The burning red - I love the track From this day
Soul Fly - Primitive - Some really cool guest appearances
The Sword - Age of Winter - I heard the track "Freya" in the game guitar hero and instantly fell in love with them. They have a very cool sound, it sounds almost as if they are some old prog band from the sixties. If you like Mastodon you will like The Sword.
Anyone list the band or actual classical band called "Apocalyptica" yet? They are pretty bad ass for a classical band because they turned most of Metallicas metal songs into classical music, I know it sounds kinda corny but hey just listen to them. The band mostly do metal/rock songs of artists like Slayer, Tool and Sepultura.

Ephel Duath - The Painter's Palette
Cool band, sounds like Textures combined with The Mars Volta
Clutch - Blast Tyrant
This USA band has been playing together since the early 1990s, producing records at a rate of approximately one per year. Though each of Clutch's albums is marked by its own distinct and cohesive sound, the band's musical style may be said to have migrated from hardcore punk to hard rock and blues over the course of their career...

They're coming to sweden!!! And they're playing with The Sword!!!!!!!!!!!
Transmisson0 - Memory of a Dream
Incorporating heavy music with a soundscape influenced edge, transmission0 came out of the ashes of dutch hardcore band Reveal. With the break up of this band in 2001 guitarist Mischa van Rodijnen and bassplayer Dave van Beek decided it was time for a new chapter in their musical career. Being both big metalfans, but also fans of bands like Sonic youth and the Cure, they decided to try and link up these 2 styles of music in their songs... (read more)
For those who like Neurosis and the like.
Alpha - Is the latest offering from sevendust its a pretty decent album though i think Seasons is better
How much do i suck with photoshop?
was The Next Hokage
A belated thanks to Terracosmo for introducing me to EToS. Still not heard Virgin and a Whore yet but Chaotic Beauty and Before the Bleeding Sun are ace.
Dunno whether my taste just sucks or not, but maybe try these bands out.
Intestine Baalism - http://www.myspace.com/intestinebaalism
A Japanese death metal band who are pretty cool (imo), they're on metal-archives for a better description than I'd be able to give.
Blood Stain Child - http://www.myspace.com/bloodstainchildmusic
Another Japanese band, these started off sounding like a not-as-good version of Bodom (Something Wild-era) but recently they've put a load of trancy stuff in the music as well. The myspace site reckons they consider themselves influenced by 'Screamo' and Emo...I haven't heard much emo but I can't see it myself judging from what I've heard of it. Their 2nd album Mystic Your Heart is probably their best imo, the song Artificial Mind on the myspace site is the only one on there from that album.

Within Temptation's new album The Heart of Everything is out and I dare say it's their best as of yet. The Truth Beneath The Rose and The Cross are personal favorites of moi.
Get it by whatever means available and listen to it. It may be a bit soft for some metal heads but it's nonetheless absolutely beautiful. And we all love a little bit of beauty, don't we?
Here's a little sample. Now go!

The new Type O Negative album is pretty sweet too.
Been listening to DevilDriver a lot lately, their first album is what keeps me going on the way to work each morning. If you get a chance, listen to "I dreamed I died" which is probably my favourite track on the CD, it's just too awesome.
Their second album, "The Fury of Our Maker's Hand", I'm not so familiar with so far but it's growing on me. Album 3, "The Last Kind Words", is released in early June, yaay!
I've loved these guys ever since they supported Fear Factory out here in Australia. Never really got into Coal Chamber but this is like a whole new beginning for Dez.

Machine Head's new album "The Blackening" is promising. Haven't listened a lot to it yet but I like it.
Yeah, I saw Machine Head on Lamb of God's sacrament tour last month.
They pwned the place up. My friend almost broke his leg standing outside one of the pits.
Fuck.. I could be seeing Lamb of God, Machine Head, and the mighty GOJIRA if I didn't have to WORK ALL THE FUCKING TIME. Small venue too. Damn that would have been fun.

The new Megadeth effort United Abominations drops May 15th and it sounds like it will kill.

That's the live video for Washington is Next, best song I've heard off the new album. If you're interested you can click a couple of times and check out Sleepwalker and Gears of War as well.

Wow can't wait til their new CD have been listening to all their albums I know theirs alot of Metallica fans out there but I have to say Megadeth is better
Edit: Damn! Fucken nice I just listened to Sleepwalker nice riffs and solo. Gears of War is alright too its a bit catchy but alright.

Just found out the other night that Dragonforce are doing a brief tour here, I have to go, I can't imagine them playing their music live. It'll be interesting to say the least.
Picked up Static-X's new album tonight, "Cannibal", and it's pretty damned good from what I've heard so far. But, there aren't many fans of the band on these boards so I guess my comments will fall on deaf ears.

After Wisconsin Death Trip and to a lesser extent Machine, Static X just never did it for me anymore. The songs weren't as catchy or fluid, and they softened up quite a bit. I haven't heard anything from Cannibal, I'll check it out.
There are so many other power metal bands with way more talent than Dragonforce. By all means if Manowar or Edguy come around, they are a must to see.

Hey now, there are more metal fans here than you think. I really like Static X. Good study music. I haven't heard any of their new album but maybe I'll check it out.Originally Posted by Raven

My music collection has been rather 'static' lately, in the sense that I haven't added any new tunes to it in a long time. Sometimes, I'll go to turn my computer off at night and try to turn off my speakers, only to find that they were never on. I sit in silence in front of my computer without even realizing it.
I just started listening to Megadeth. I don't know why I have been avoiding them, maybe it was the name pr maybe that I had gotten the impression that they were similar to Metallica. Anyway I really like 'em. Been listening to Countdown to Extinction and Rust in Peace mostly, the new album United Abominations is ok.
