Best Active Metal Bands

[Hubster]

Fucking hell you lot have incredibly gay taste in music.

Darkthrone and Drudkh. Enough said

[Sadguru]

Drudkh or Summoning.

You are completely right, because those ARE their best releases. I'm addicted to RUUN atm.

Yeah Ruun is kinda owning my soul lately.

Drudkh are no way the best active metal band.. Their last release was pretty lame and Songs Of Grief And Solitude wasn't even metal (not a bad thing, don't get me wrong). I'm hoping their next full length will redeem them - apparently it's got a burzumy sound to it.. So could be intriguing!

 

[Tubbs]

Hmm I've never heard Drudkh before. They sound pretty interesting. ReComMenDATiOnS?

Fuck elitism, I want big choruses, fun, energy and efficiency in metal not some pseudo electro, proggy King Crismon regurgitation trying to pass as black metal to have the ghetto " My music is much more than metal" tag which I find boring after the first spacey keyboard "insert your late 60's, early 70's keyboard here" minute intro/outro.

There won't be Enslaved nostalgia tours in 2035, mark my words, newbies.
