Any metal heads here?

Black Dahlia Murder is a definite, what about Misery Index, Kalmah, Behemoth not necessarily Norwegian black metal but still good heavy bands.

Behemoth - Conquer All


Misery Index "The Great Depression"



Kalmah - Principle Hero

Bad ass guitar playing by the way

Props on the King Diamond though. That man is a genius.

Whoooooo would say such a thing?!

If maintaining musical integrity means being elitist then I'm happy to be elitist.

Also kind diamond rocks, I'm looking forward to the new mercyful fate.

Bob has music integrity, you're a picky little boy chasing the Zeitgeist of the metal community two years ago...

No I just dislike metalcore, it bores me, its so bland but people hail it as the heaviest shit they have ever heard and thing they are so cool for liking it.

Also the zeitgeist of the metal community in general two years ago would still have been metalcore love, metal has slowly been being diluted in the mainstream for a long time since the rise of bands like slipknot to fame.

Can't say I care much for metalcore. But I like Kalmah. So I guess my feelings concerning greggcarson are neutral at this point.

Broken Hands... holy motherfuck. The way Randy nails the choruses is something to behold.

Very different from the last album though. Heard it for the first time this morning and I liked it but it's going to need a couple of listens. Got the new God Forbid as well to check out too!

"Metalcore" is the gayest term ever and coming from a gay guy, that should say something! Metal is metal - some of it is comercial, some isn't. Instead of worrying about whether noone has heard of a band of if loads of people like it, can't we just appriecate the music? /end hippy dippy post.
