So who else likes to rock out dangerously hard? When I feel like listening to angry music, my weapons of choice are Opeth, SYL, and Lamb of God. When I feel like mellowing out, I listen to System of a Down.

I can't seem to find music that is "hard" enough.

Slayer doesnt cut it, Arch Enemy doesn't doit, Pantera/Damageplan doesn't cut it... all are good, but not enough.

Suggestions?

My suggestion is Slipnot! You will not find anything harder than them and if you do let me know.

Strapping Young Lad rocks out way harder then Slipknot, does it with half as many guys, and does not suck :P Plus they are canadian.

Mortician, they were the loudest/hardest band I've ever seen. It's been over 7 years since I've been to their gig.

get the new Chimaira cd. Fucking awesome. Unearth is good. Old school Vision of Disorder (for the bleeders), um... the self titled slipknot cd was good..... iowa was ok.... volume 3 the subliminal verses should have been sold as a stone sour cd... dont get me wrong, i like stone sour, it's just not slipknot.

Basically everything I listen to is "make your ears bleed" heavy.

hell ya! You ever heard Opeth? If you haven't, get Ghost of Perdition by them.. more downtempo then SYL or Lamb of God, but after those few opening chords, the song hits like a ton of bricks. Plus they all have Swedish Deathmetal Hair (long and stringy!) and headbang in perfect unison, so they are wicked to see live too.

I love the music in all these, but I still don't understand why the vocals have to just be raspy screaming. Kinda takes away from the music if u ask me. I can do the same with a 10 year old microphone, a windtunnel, and some throat lozenges.

lol :) I like a lot of the stuff off that folder you linked :thumbsup

Well I'm not sure if this now just a death metal thread but I'm a big fan of any Pantera, older Metallica (mainly the first 4 albums), older Fear Factory, older Slayer, In Flames, Lamb Of God, and well thats about all I can think about at this time.

Yes I have. Opeth is a bit too Operatic for me. Not bad though. I don't change the channel when they come on my radio.

Opeth = suck, Kitty = suck. All the other bands that are just trying to outmetal everyone = suck.

So jam some... SYL, Unearth, In Flames, Killswitch engage, Ministry, Frontline assembly, Skinnypuppy, Dimmu borgir, Prong, Floyd.

I like James Taylor.


But really...I do.

Soilwork is my metal guilty pleasure. :-)

Mushroomhead is awesome, http://www.mushroomhead.com/

chumaira , lamb of god , expecially in flames are great bands also new staic x is pretty good .

I like the Tablecloth killers, they are fucking hardcore, badasss.

Oh, I made that name up because I havent heard of 90% of the people mentioned here.

I've been kickin around in Pandora lately and have found a couple sweet tunes...

Callenish Circle - Sweet Cyanide
Devildriver - End of the Line
Symphony in Peril - The Whore's Trophy
Symphony in Peril - Revolving Door Romance
Turmoil - The Discipline of Self Loathing

I was listening to Devildriver this morning on the way to work....

I do like Killswitch Engage (saw them at Ozzfest = THE SHIT live!!!), Slayer, Arch Enemy, Pantera, some Slipknot, Metallica, Black Sabbath, Chimaira, Static-X, and Fear Factory.... But like I said before, sometimes you want something heavier and darker.

Between the buried and me,into the moat,nodes of ranvier,shadows fall....Lamb of god? .. :7 all bad ass...Especially between the buried and me..
