Lots of good bands in this thread, my most recent favorites are:

The Faceless
Vail of Maya
Dragonforce
Lamb of God

nickelback?

not a fan of this type of music

Most people aren't.

Children of Bodem
Pantera
DeathKlok haha

I listen to just about everything but country...and Im even warming up to that being down south. I have the most ADD playlists...my shit will jump from Lady Gaga, to NIN, to Enya, to Johnny Cash, to Daddy Yankee, to FFDP all in the time I'm taking a shower...

Yeah i can't really get into this type of music.

Although i do like some of Ill Nino & Alexisonfire. But i dont think that's in this catagory. My cousins play this type of music. They play at various spots in kalamazoo. "Tonight it Ends"

I saw them play once. They played a show with my friends band. Elicio.

enya FTL

johnny cash FTW!

some of these "hard" bands above are complete pussies.

Suicide silence
Strapping young lad
Meshuggah
Bloodbath
Behold the arctopus


but hey, i'm an opinionated asshole.

I havent heard of one of those. lol

Then again, i dont wear all black.

Strapping Young Lad is awesome. "Satan's Ice Cream Truck"?

I remember the first time I heard Meshuggah.

"...they detune a bit"

Acacia strain
older avenged sevenfold
Death to fall- Major rager is the shit lol

Some others but i cant remember the names lol...

I have a couple buddies on the East side starting up a metal band...they came up with the name Fisting Anus, their first album and single is going to be titled Ravaging Horses.

I couldnt help but laugh everytime I saw "Fisting Anus - Ravaging Horses" scroll across my iPod...

Will they be a special guest performer on American Idol?

"Dead to Fall" I've seen them a couple of times. I'd listen to them all the time a few years back.


Darkest Hour
Success Will Write Apocalypse Across The Sky (SWWAATS)
Walls of Jericho
Hatebreed
Unearth
are more of my favs

BTW, Cannibal Corpse & The Faceless will be playing in G.R. April 19. And DragonForce will be playing May 2, all at the Intersection. Both will be good Shows to see.

holy shit i'll be at the cannibal corpse concert.

Mastodon anyone?
Dethklok rules.
who doesn't love pantera.

anyone that enjoys metal should listen to Exhorder at one point or another. Slaughter in the Vatican fuking rules.....i'm listening to that tomorrow morning on the way to work.
you won't find a copy in any store in kalamazoo, strictly via mail or have barnes and noble order it for you.

FUCK YES MASTADON!

have you listened to their new album?

Bouncing Souls

Protest the Hero FTW.

But I wouldn't put them in this category.

i've never been impressed with mastodon, and i've given them several trys....they seem to be the band everyone that normally doesnt listen to metal mentions when they bring up "hard music"

just my .02

Chaos Foundry
Opeth
Slipknot
Death Klok
Otep
Lamb of God
Korn
Mudvayne
Fear Factory
Divine Heresy
SOAD
Dillenger Escape Plan
Sikth

I also love Protest the hero, speed yes, metal...sorta..more so now than before
My brother is a big Mastadon fan

opeth makes nearly every other band look like retards trying to play the guitar. one of my favorite bands, hands down.

TRUE

ooohhh and I don't want to forget
WYLD STALLIONS!!!

also Psychostick as an add on, they rule!
One time I was teaching one of my classes and I had forgotten to turn off my phone. My students were doing massage when suddenly from my pocket errupts; "BEER IS GOOD, BEER IS GOOD, BEER IS GOOD, AND STUFF!" I couldn't help but laugh as i apologized.

Time for me to share my current list of favorites...


Pantera (of course)
Rebel Meets Rebel (not really metal, but it's Dimebag, Rex and Vinnie Paul, so it is...)
Demon Hunter
As I Lay Dying
Pillar (hey...they're pretty hard)
Devil Wears Prada
Red
Disciple
Haste The Day
Seventh Day Slumber
Since October
Skillet (vocals may not be hard, but the riffs kick much ass)


Yeah...I'll admit it. I'm into Christian Metal. Though here's a thought...the only bands on that list that aren't Christian are Pantera and Rebel Meets Rebel.....

I just saw Pilliar play like 4 months ago. There old stuff was hard, new stuff not so much.



DWP FTW!

surprisingly, one of the best concerts i've ever seen (certainly in the top 5) was Skillet, Thousand Foot Krutch and Decyfer Down. Very kick ass show.

The second best show I have ever been to was Pilliar and East West played at KVFC on Romance. There was only about 400 people there, but that's what made it awesome.

while christian metal is not my thing at all (thats a whole other ballgame) i will concede that i dig DWP...sometimes you just need a brutal breakdown or three to get in the mood.

That's the truth.

My roomate is opening at the intersection for children of bodom and faceless

do people hold their hands to the sky while they mosh at a christian metal concert? Although really, christian metal isn't too far off base, a lot of metal is based on religious mythology... Hell Iron Maiden had a lot of that stuff.

well im gonna say some things that may offend the religious on here.....
but in regards to their "praise jesus with my hands in the air" question, i found it to be true at the xian show i went to. i was trying to get in a girls pants and she wanted to see her friends For Today play a christian hardcore show and all the kids there were simultaneously two-stepping and holding their hands in the air haha...it was the corniest shit ive witnessed. add that to the fact that most xian metal is contrived tripe, and it made for a bad time. and i didnt get laid that night either. oh well.

Who played in said show?
