My lineup is getting a little stale. I'm into bands like Mastodon, Baroness, the Sword, Lamb of God, Gojira, Tool, etc Need some new shit.
Ghost, Melvins (not a new band), Painted Wives, In Search of Sun and there's a few more. The new Anthrax CD will melt your f@ckin' face off. Want to branch way out? Refused - get a Shape of Punk to come and also the new one, Freedom.
Between the Buried and Me Animals as Leaders Intronaut Cancer Bats Cloudkicker Converge Karnivool Gorguts Katatonia Voivod Meshuggah Opeth Mestis Red Fang Neurosis Year of No Light You're welcome
Another vote for High on Fire - f*&^ing awesome. They are - IMHO - the epitome of pure metal. No pretense, just killer riffs and great musicianship.
No... but I take it to mean he is into experimental/progressive rock. lots of metal fits into that category
This mother effer knows his shit. Check out the Red Fang. If you're interested in some older stuff.....I can help with that.
Animals as Leaders (was mentioned) and Conquering Dystopya is some of the newer stuff I've been listening to, some Peryphery too. On a more vintage/ classic headbanger note- Death with Symbolic (I remember buying the cd in 95 when I was 13) On a best of prog note- anything Symphony X from 96 to 2000 Judas Priest with Painkiller for some good old kick ass metal. Anything 90's and early 2000's Rammstein for a change of pace.
Yep, this. I like thrash, sludge, doom, blah blah, all the metal variants. I wouldn't call Red Fang or Baroness "metal" either but I get tired of all the sub-genre shit.
