The Wanderer
Watcher of the Storm
ok, keeping in mind current metal bands.
I second Sean Malone, and the other guy who played for cynic. he's awesome on the roadrunner demo 91 as well. i actually the demo better than the full lenght. clearly production. more aggressive.
Also second rober patterson. He's a badass on those ahteist records.
Cliff burton as well, though metallica was around before the mid 80s.
Tyr is starting make some noise, as he should.
Magnus from the crown is pretty good at what he does, i.e. power the band and rock the fuck out.
which ever Bjorler brother (I think Jonas, dont have my at the gates cd in front of me) plays bass for the at the gates and the hautned. besides being really good, he wrote a lot of the shit on slaughter of the soul, so kudos there.
I'm gonna add jared anderson of Hate Eternal and Internecine. He totally made me rethink bass playing in brutally fast extreme metal bands. his lines are tasteful, and he avoids the tempatation to pick and play as manynotes as the guitars (which aint possible anyway, ehehe) and he fills out the sound very well.
none of you have probably heard of him, but you should check this band out. they are called Silencer (www.silencer.cc) and their bassist is really good. his name is jeff alexis.
trying to think of some other bassists that are making some noise.
justin chancellor from tool is a badass.
sharlee deangelos: arch enemy, witchery, mercyful fate god knows what else. hes good on recordings. i think live he's a sloppy mess though.
the bassist for corpsevomit when they were togethere was a badass on his fretless.
eric langolois of cryptopsy totally rules. he's one of the most original bassists i've heard. even if you're not into super crazy brutal death metal, check them out anyway. or just download the song slit your guts off of none so vile or email me and i'll send it to you.
im gonna stop there.
