Metal is not dead.

go to media and listen to both songs. then check out their third song on myspace.
Sounds kind of random, but your post made me think of thisxy9ine said:
I know these knucleheads in Portland,ME who have a doom outfit called Ocean. If Southern Lord were to ever pick them up it would be Earth, Sunn 0))), & Ocean all on the same label.
some how i think Air would be a mis-match.ROCKLAND said:

Kalmah and Bodom are super good too. As I lay dieing is good too, but my fav. band is Wintersun, has anyone heard or them?sirknight6 said:

Terror.
Terror.
Wintersun is so good. I'm listening to "winter madness" right now.
I also like Metallica, Megadeth, Dream Theater, Slayer, Trivium, Manowar, Therion, Black Sabbath, Pantera, Anthrax, Iron Maiden, Armored Saint, Judas Priest, to name a few.

two words: Municipal Waste.
i'm hardly an authority on metal, but hanging around the southern lord forum has shown me a thing or two. i dig the new Lair of the Minotaur record, and haven't recently seen the light re: Celtic Frost.
WORD!
The Ultimate Destroyer? or is there something more recent? Pretty good album. The closing track, they slow things down, is sweet.
nah, not new, but new to me.
if you like ambient noise/metal/drone stuff (and who doesn't?), be sure to check out what Aidan Baker is churning out via his Nadja moniker.

Celtic Frost was incredibly entertaining when I was 16.
"Morbid Tales" is a great album when you've been up on speed for three days.
"To Mega Therion" is the album you listen to while on the back of a war elephant driving your foes before you and crushing their villages.
"Into the Pandemonium" is...good. Really good.
"Cold Lake" is the most unforgivable POS ever put out by any band. Ever.
That is why I hate most metal. I can't stand the screaming, not that I have anything against screaming just metal screaming got worn out about 18 years ago.
Every time someone mentions Celtic Frost, I'm reminded of the classic S.O.D. song, "Celtic Frosted Flakes".
I'm way more in to the "old school" metal, Slayer, Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeth. But, the few bands that have come out in the last 5-10 years that have caught my ear are Trivium(those guys shred), Lamb of God, Demiricous, and Mastodon. The new Killswitch is surprisingly good. And just to clear the air, Avenged is more of like a modern day glam band. A toothless Motley Crue comes to mind.
Great link...thanks!
EDIT: This seems like an excellent link....lots of new/good stuff that I hadn't heard of before.
I'm diggin Kamelot
BTW - band photoshoots are complete bullsh1t. I fvcking hate just about every single photoshoot I've ever done. A couple with friends were ok, but for the most part a photo session is a required evil of the business. Magazines require "exclusive" photos with articles, etc.
If it were me I'd never be in any more band pics.
That said, some bands love that sh1t. They are what I like to call, "candy-assed poser bitch whores".

Metal has become a wayyyyy too broadly used term nowadays. I wouldn't even consider avenged sevenfold to be anything near metal. Just look at their band pic. WTF. Looks pretty emo or h-core. I guess I wont hate on their music, but it bothers me to see people calling certain bands metal.
Most everything should follow back to Iron Maiden in some sort of way or influence, but there are some unique ones out there that I'd still call metal. I'll name a few: Iron Maiden (of course), Megadeth, Metallica, Iced Earth, Slayer, Kreator, Exodus, Judas Priest, Motorhead, Sabbath, Pantera, Testament, Children of Bodom, Death, Dream Theater, OPETH.
But, what do I know... I've only been around people who have been in the industry for the past 30 years

Who? Anyone I know?
One of my friends uncles is Paul Baloff, the old lead singer of Exodus.
And that list you had up. I wouldn't consider everything on there 100% metal. I guess it could pass, but there are some weak spots. And it could use a few more thrash bands as well.

Saw them in 85 in Berkeley. Classic.
It's a festival, there are few 100% metal festivals these days. Especially in France.
