[groovaholic]

There's just so many different genres! I started out a pretty rabid metal fan, but a lot of it just doesn't grab me any more.

I'll just give big +1 to everyone who mentioned Neurosis, Mastodon, Isis, some Dub Trio, Torche ...

Basically, I just like stuff with groove and melody...

 

[rockstarbassist]

High on Fire has pretty much taken over every source of audio in my home.

This is a good thing.

Those guys just nail it. I probably listen to their latest offering at least once every 3-4 days.

For current acts, Mastodon, Dethklok, JFAC, LoG, CoB, KSE all do nicely for me.
