i went through a period of music like that but got bored very quickly

Speaking of noise, have you ever heard "noise music"?
The video is worth a laugh, but after about 15 seconds, it gives you that unresistable urge to kill everyone you see, shortly followed by your own chaotic suicide. :)

Replying to #66

For a while I thought that was a joke, turns out its actually a serious genre....*Reloads .50 Cal*

well that was enjoyable thank you for that link ???

anyway...Does anyone here know of '8 Foot Sativa' ? They are perhaps the most awesome New Zealand Metal bandhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Kv2WNKe13A

pettey good, not to keen on the vocals though

Yeah, I don't know what the hell he's saying lol. Everything else sounds good, though.

whatever happened to good metal, like megadeth and quiet riot -_-

CloudBoy101 · #71Yeah, I don't know what the hell he's saying lol. Everything else sounds good, though.

i don't care if i can't understand anything its cause he has no range its just ror ror ror ror ror uuurrrrrr but the music was ok

I like something I can think about while I'm listening to it, so i've never really favoured modern metal. But yeah, I thought the music was okay as well.

here's an interesting Russian band I dug outsong herethough if you wish there 3 mp3s with better sound quality
in hereI especially liked S.O.S.by the way for interested people here is an interesting site http://www.metal-archives.com/why I consider this site interressting?e.g. according to that site there are overall only 145 official metal bands that were originaly formed in New Zealand where as Japan has 883 :P and Poland 1908 and that a lot of bands like to call them Abyss

Otep & Morbid Angel are so awesome!

I personally prefer the more technical and progressive bands - I guess I'll just post my top 10 to save space:
Cynic
Death
Dream Theater
The Faceless
Into Eternity
Martyr
Necrophagist
Redemption
Spastic Ink
Watchtower

I've recently started listening to Dream Theater, with their lyrics and style of, well, playing I'd say they're their own genre really, I've never heard anything like them before. Just like Sid Barrett, after he left Pink Floyd he'd made the most psychedelic tunes ever, they deserve their own place in the History of Music.

Dream Theater are officially classed as Progressive Metal, but they've tried most things.

and you might even fall in to the world of progressive metal. once your in you can never get out and anything not progressive sounds boring and rubbish and it gets worse because you have to find even more progressive metal.talking about dream theater does anyone agree with with that their music started to go down hill at octavarium and when they moved over to roadrunner with their latest album they destroyed all that was good about them.
distortion effets on vocals COME ON!!!!! its less progressive and starting to sound more generic (starting to sound like every other band on roadrunner)
