ASILAYDYING best band...evarrrrrr

I'll check them out is u say that they are SO good.

 

[Prince of China]

Disturbed.

 

[PoeticRocker]

Iron Maiden - if i had to choose

 

[KagePrototype]

How could you call Slipknot pop? They might not be metal, but good god, they're a long way from pop. If you want pop with guitars and screaming, try Lostprophets. Or Gwen Stefani.

 

[Axyon]

It's between Children of Bodom and Dark Tranquillity, and no, don't ask me to choose.

 

[Recoil]

Yeah, Disturbed are really good...

[Pressure]

Metallica is by far my favorite.

 

[IRON_MAIDEN]

wowwowowow you guys have awesome taste....

bodom is awesome...pantera is awesome...maiden is awesome....megadeth, metallica, slayer, weeeeeeeeeeee!

 

[MurderScene]

They rely on the catchyness of pop, clean vocals, and all that stuff in order to be more accessible to the mainstream. I suppose "pop" might be going a little far, but I honestly don't know what other term to use (as I don't think they really fit the nu metal criteria).

-well, their new album yes...but the old ones? dear god, if you consider growls to be "catchy" and "clean" then i want what your smoking!
btw, no such thing as nu-metal, its just a stupid trend

Hmm...As I Lay Dying is a pretty good band...I like thanks MurderScene

Bury Your Dead
EveryTimeIDie
Norma Jean

[Fat Tony!]

Metallica

 

[kaffo]

Skinless (us), Dying fetus (us), Deathstars (se), Behemoth (pl), Cannibal corpse (us), Suffocation (us) and Abominable putridity (a new, underground Russian death metal-band, its incredible)



I very much think Slipknot is metal, nu-metal, thats the deal with nu/neu/new-metal, its supposed to be a bit more mainstream -pop-like. Doesnt matter though, i still hate them

 

[Phat-t]

im just getting into metal, so wut are some good bands where its not just ppl screaming into a microphone every song.

So far my favorite two are System of a Down and Disturbed.

I just tryed listening to Children of Bodom, but the satan screaming kinda ruins their songs

Go for some Metallica. Some good albums from them are And Justice for All, Master of Puppets, The Black Album, Ride the Lightning and Kill 'em All.

 

[MurderScene]

some bands i suggest.
In Death We Rise
The Red Death
Silent Civilians
and the earlier bands i posted. however you stated you dislike screaming...so i dont know if the bands i listed will help you =P

 

[Zeus]

Look at my avatar.

 

[Phat-t]

thanx for the help guys

 

[f|uke]

Tool / Powerman 5k is about as close as I get to metal.

Love Powerman 5k. They're so underrated.

 

[Earl Danish]

Titanium bracelet - with a nice clutch-coupled clasp.

 

[Axyon]

Phat-t, I'd recommend you start with Power Metal - the bands SearanoX mentioned are a good starting point - Sonata Arctica, Blind Guardian, Iced Earth, Nightwish, Dragonforce etc. The first metal I started listening to was Power, and I eventually progressed through to Power with harsh lyrics (Children of Bodom), then Melodic Death, Death, Symphonic Black/Black and Thrash. Sort of a tier system, allowing small gaps in style change each way.

 

[MetalHead]

**** metal is so ****in broad i recon tool or deftones

 

[Polaris]

I like Nightwish and Iron Maiden - but its mayby soft bands for hardcore metal heads.
But I like this bands.

 

[Killing2Live]

I like disturbed

 

[Pressure]

Metallica followed up by Iron Maiden.

 

[SenorDingDong]

Iron Maiden

Good Power Metal Bands:

Helloween
Gamma Ray
Hammerfall
Blind Guardian (some stuff)

 

[Laivasse]

Axis of Advance

...have climbed to the top of my list of favourite bands

Some other bands that are up there or have been at some point are:
Revenge
Immortal
Nile
Absu
Leviathan
Kvist

There's a fair cross-section of the more extreme side of metal in there, although br00t4l death, gore-anything, random grind subgenres, melodeath, and many others are not covered.

AoA are a must for any extreme metaller who values good songwriting. Hear 'Strike'.

 

[Lucid]

Fear Factory(Everything about them, kicks. ass.)

Amon Amarth(Just got into these guys, their stuff is crazy, almost like biblical reading...really fast.)

Dimmu Borgir(Ooooh my god, the vocals!)

Iron Maiden(Living Gods.)

Jack Off Jill / Scarling(poppish lead singer, but the lyrics are so ****ed its great.)

Otep(Rap and metal, who would've thought it could sound so sick?)

 

[oldagerocker]

Metallica were my first love within Metal. I haven't delved into it too much, i've gone more soft rock now...

 

[Axyon]

Current favourite bands have shifted around a little, now. I'd have to say that at the moment, my favourites are:

Dismember - Death Metal at its best. I urge you to acquire any of their albums, especially 'Where Ironcrosses Grow' and the rather simply titled 'Death Metal'.

Old Man's Child - Can't say no to Melodic Black Metal, even though the vocals are very Death in style. Still, they absolutely rock.

Dark Tranquillity (again.)
