If I had to pick one particular band, I would probably say All That Remains. I do like Shadows fall and Disturbed as well. What do you guys think?

Cannibal Corpse is my favorite but they aren't all that consistent, so to answer your question, I'll pick Lamb of God because all they do is keep improving.

So you mean, post-hardcore, nu metal, alternative metal, metalcore mainstream? Oh... well in that case...

These are not metal.

The only good metal bands I know of today are thrash (Slayer) or weird punk/thrash/hardcore bands like The Exploited, who many people don't even like anymore anyhow.

There's no true definition of metal. Metal has fused with everything now that music is so experimental.

The mexican band or the American band? the reason I ask is because there are two bands with the exact same name.

I don't believe mallcore is metal, but we all have our own definitions I guess.

A very weak, askew representation of the metal genre as a whole, sorry I'd rather choose better.

My goodness you like to argue don't you? well for arguments sake he did not specify "true" metal, just metal, and if it has metal in the genre classification, then it's freakin metal! But hey arguing on the Internet is like running in the special olympics...

Wow, some of you guys sure are on your high horse about this.


Who cares if someone's band doesn't fit your narrow definition of what constitutes a metal band? Everyone has their own feelings and descriptions. You can discuss these differences without trying to belittle people and fluffing yourself up in some display of bloated self importance.

Never been huge on metal and don't even know if they constitute current, but always enjoyed Rammstein and Type O Negative. Can't stand that smashing drum/thumping guitar/screaming vocal style...

the bottom line is, if a band is not on this website, they are in fact NOT metal:

With so many incredibly talented current metal bands, this is a difficult question. Here are the most talented imo:

Opeth

Katatonia

Agalloch

Isis

My Dying Bride
