metal scene of today

[haunted]

 

What the fuck is deathcore? You have got to be kidding me.. hardcore got even shittier and increased their audience? lol

There ARE some ok hardcore bands though, I guess. This is the only hardcore band I've ever gotten into, pretty much:

yeah it's gotten pretty retarded, I couldnt even listen that cowboy bullshit (or whatever its called, I chose to forget asap) all the way through. so terrible 

suppose shit like that is why i've started listening less to current 'metal' and more trance and whatnot.

hehehe job for a cowboy has toured here once or twice, I saw them with Chimaira....this was the song most people went nuts to, so I figure it is their best one

One of the only bands from that genre that I actually listen to is Darkest Hour. They aren't quite as technically skilled as that Job For A Cowboy, but they have a nice steady followable groove and harmonized riffs.

Darkest Hour - Sound The Surrender

As for that Job For A Cowboy... yeah, it's decent I suppose. But I think it's pretty ridiculous that someone had the balls to classify it as something other than plain old death metal.

Lets compare them to Cannibal Corpse from the Chris Barnes days. Here's a nice little fucked up video featuring the song Hammer Smashed Face...

Doesn't sound much "different" to me really. In fact, his vocals are a dead ringer for Cannibal Corpse's current vocalist, George Fisher. And speaking of Cannibal Corpse, I've been a huge fan of theirs since their early days. I really like how they've evolved their style into something a little more "traditional" with hooky riffs and tempo changes that are a little more obvious.

Here's my favorite...

That Darkest hour song is really sick man, I love to play shit like that... but C.C.?? I've never been a fan.

I don't listen to a lot of metal but came across this live version of Symphony of Destruction (MegaDeth) played in Argentina. The quality is pretty good and the audience sings almost as loud as the band.

This second version from 2008 is pretty good too.

Can't watch this video right now, but I love the solo to SOD... love.

Anyone ever heard of thunderlip? It's a local band for me that got metal band of the year on fuel tv a few years back... they're not actually too metal either, more like kentucky fried hard rock. One of my favorite bands.

ughh.. not a whole lot of songs to choose from on youtube:

^a good one though

pretty much all the better bands in my state are stoner rock bands that changed into kentucky fried metal, kind of.
