I'm metal stupid.

[In Flames]

Check out some Iced Earth, Children of Bodom, Arch Enemy and EverGrey

[Peccavi]

here is a mix of metal bands but all good:

between the buried and me (good bass player)
god forbid
a life once lost
red chord
killswitch engage
arch enemy
lamb of god
at the gates
the black dahlia murder
necrophagist (insane guitarist and matching bass)
unearth
vital remains
deicide
dying fetus

Ok, I just went out and bought Opeth's Damnation. I don't see how this could be considered metal at all.

I was expecting some serious heavy trash. Blast beats, gutteral vocals, etc. This I could go to sleep to. I like it, but not what I was expecting at all.

It isn't really a metal album. I don't know what you'd call it, easy listening? haha

That was their acoustic album. I don't think they've ever don blast beats...but the gutteral stuff abounds. If you want me to send you some samples off of Deliverance, just shoot me a PM .

Y'know, Stachio, you shoulda told me you was a metal head at the ATL GtG last year. I feel like kinda an idiot doing the phonetic "how to" on DEP basslines, thinkin you weren't that into metal, so you might need the aural help. Silly me.

I swear, I'm not that big a dork, nor that weenie a metalhead. But y'should have TOLD me you were into metal so I wouldn'ta made a doofus of myself.

Hey, you probably entertained him endlessly.

[Brendan]

My point precisely. You don't mess with a man's metal. That just ain't cool.

[Stachio]

No problem. I didn't have the 6 inch goatee to confirm my status. I also thought that whipping out some rotational headbanging a la Corpsegrinder, would be inappropriate over Gard and Bassmonkee's jam session .
Plus, I was under the impression that the metalhead quota was set at 1.
We'll set it straight next time .

Dude, is that Corpsegrinder in your avatar?

[IAMERICCOCHRANE]

Check out Darkest Hour, they have some pretty mellow stuff along with really hardcore stuff. Great band though.
