CANNIBAL CORPSE!!!!!!!!! their lyrics are like watching a horror movie, so graphic, so intense, so good eg "Dangling above a vat of putrid muck
A rancid stench of foul decay never encountered before
Screaming in horror for I now remember my fate
I will be Submerged In Boiling Flesh
This cauldron will soon take my life"pretty good huh guyspaulie69

no way. those lyrics are sick. i can right something like pit of zombies easily.

The Decemberists
Modest Mouse
Muse

Tell me how I'm wrong.

Oh, and I assumed you wanted to quote me.... and I fixed your type. My treat.

Yea I can't quote for some reason... But I'd assume that you were kidding in the first place, but if you weren't then you must not be hearing the same lyrics I am...

Nirvana:

; Im not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But Im having fun
I think Im dumb
Or maybe just happy

Cradle of Filth:

Two thousand fattened years like maniacs
Have despoiled our common grave
Now what necrophagous Second Coming backs
From the cradle to enslave
Sickle constellations
Stud the belts that welt the sky
Whilst bitter winter moon
Prowls the clouds, dead eyed
Like shifting parent flesh
Under silk matricide...

I'm going to say Tool.

You may not be able to understand half the songs but if you read the lyrics you can find some songs with deep meanings, double meanings, and stories.

Sonata Arctica

Opeth

Nightwish

Wintersun

The Decemberists
Modest Mouse

False_Reality

Sonata Arctica

Opeth

Nightwish

Wintersun

dante_123456

All of those bands kick severe ass, except Opeth...I was never a really big fan.

Also
Explosions in the sky :P

Well actually there is a meaning behind their songs, unlike Nirvana's 'grunge' music. Nirvana completely lacks talent, it's just popular to like crappy bands.

Also

the song I listed is 'from the cradle to enslave' and that's only the beginning. The song is about impending armageddon because of humanity's relentless abuse of the Earth for over 2 milleniums. What's nirvana's 'dumb' about? lol...

The Cure....as if you couldn't guess.LJS9502_basic

have you heard of 'the mission uk'? they're a lot like the cure imo...
