Slayer have 2 albums worth listening to: their debut EP Show No Mercy and Reign in Blood. That is it. The most over-rated band in extreme music. I will give them credit for those 2 albums, as they were some of the best and most infuential Thrash albums of all time. But after Regin they went to crap.

Sir, your taste is finer than this 1879 Spannish Merlot I just poured into my canine's drinking dish

Bravo kind sir!

[QUOTE="konvikt_17"]

closest i get to metal, is Tool. which is in my top 5.

not to say i just blindly dont listen to metal.

ive listened to various different bands, in the metal genre. they just arent for me.

Doct0rBiohazard

yea. ive had several "music elitists" tell they are not metal. meh couldnt care less about their genre, i like thier music:D

i just said that to avoid people coming in and saying "Tool isnt metal dude". not thats its that big a deal, i just dont feel like arguing/clarifying and trying to go through all the sun-genres of metal to find out what i already knew.

Finally someone else who likes Persuader.

[QUOTE="imaps3fanboy"][QUOTE="Doct0rBiohazard"]So much noisy crap...Doct0rBiohazard

Ah yes, the old "death trap"

A lot of new death metal bands do tend to go for full on aggression, forgetting to add any versatility to their music. But to be honest, I'm usually not fussy when it somes to the heavier side of metal. I can enjoy the mindless noise :P

Testament

Machine Head

Metallica

Megadeth

Slayer

Sepultura (The Max years only)

Soulfly

Anthrax

Pantera

Fear Factory

Those are the metal bands I primarily listen to. I've been trying ot branch out into some other stuff, but I always go back to these guys.

I love melodic/thrash/groove metal.

Can't really get into Death Metal because I don't like growling/banshee/wailing vocals. They annoy me.

Death Metal really is an acquired taste, I for one love it, but and as for the vocals, if you've listened to enough fo the stuff you find it really easy to understand, even stuff you haven't heard before, or maybe that's just me.samremnant

My biggest gripe with death metal is not so much the vocals, the lack of creativity of a lot of bands. I used to be into Cannibal Corpse (as a kid pretty much) and similar bands, until I realised they all sounded the same. The often cheesey lyrical themes also put me off. It seems that in most cases it's either about gore or pseudo-intellectual political crap (I'm looking at you, Napalm Death). Of course this doesn't apply to every band out there, but whenever someone recommends me a death metal band, it ends in disappointment.

I must say, though, that Darkthrone's Soulside Journey album is a very good death metal record.
