Death Metal/ Thrash Metal/ Heavy Metal/ Nu Metal fav bands

the real question is

Which one of you is HerbJones alias ?




or my favorite version

Mastodon is fantastic.
Pantera and Slayer kick ass.
Iron Maiden still kills it.
Soundgarden, Tool, and Helmet.

Go find:

Kovenant (band): Nexus Polaris (album name) <--- easily the best metal I've heard in my life.

or any Theatre of Tragedy shit. The girl in ToT is in-fukkin-credible.

Listen to it loud, gentlemen.

Wow.

No Dimmu Borgir (especially their earlier shit)

No Cradle? These are the classics of the genre no matter what they did later.

This song is brutal: Cradle of Filth covering Iron Maiden's "Hallowed be thy name"

For you guys who enjoy good music, especially if you enjoy Sabbath, you really need to check out a real innovator of their time that has next to zero recognition even though their sound reverberates through the sounds of greats of their time.

The Pretty Things.

It will sound dated, as it should, but the musical brilliance of the time is something to look back upon and marvel, IMO. Nothing close to death metal, but I will without a doubt call them a big inspiration to Sabbath who later inspired many of the bands already posted in this thread.

I like rock music, u can label it how u want. but in general, the stuff considered death or slash metal, just ain't my thing. I like to somewhat understand what a singer is screaming.
I went and seen a band called volbeat recently, it was a pretty cool show.
