Slim? What about Decapitated, Ritual Carnage, Superjoint Ritual, Susperia, Opeth, Amon Amarth, Behemoth, Arcturus, Devin Townsend, Disturbed and System in here too, Down, Soilwork, Hypocrisy, Myrkskog, Khold, Immortal, and Im tired of trying to think of more but there is tons of metal out there everywhere except the radio. Which is fine with me.

EXACTLY! Just because those bands don't get radio play or have record deals with big record companies doesn't mean they aren't cool!

Man I cannot beleive someone has heard of Angel Corpse!!!!!!!!!!I used to party with Gene when he lived in winona, and to see him get a kick ass band going is cool.. these guys are fucking awsome!!!!!

bro angel corpse is so fucking brutal!!!! i have most of the cds. they just breath brutality. awesome sick death metal probably one the best. if ya saw tem live there were so much better. i saw when they tourin here back a couple of years with incantation and a couple of others. they were so sick live. i wasnt sure if any1 knew about them. but the brutality lives in their music like always.

Disturbed kinda fall out of the "Nu Metal" bracket because of the lack of hype they got. It seems to be made up now with the new CD but still they are not pushed as much as other bands and come across as heavy metal and not Nu Metal.

The good thing is though these bands produce discussion on here and not all bad which is a good thing. I saw Disturbed play in Glasgow the other night and have to say they gave an awesome performance.

As for slim pickings just now that is bs. You just have to look and you will find. The Blueprint, Johnny Truant and Fony to name a few plus all the noisecore bands appearing just now means there is plenty to get yer ears into. Thats without going into the more extreme market

Mon the Anthrax!!!

SOAD is a good band, though I do wish they would take a chance on a song longer than 3 minutes every now and then.

The new album is good, sounds a lot more along the lines of the first album. I just wish they had stuck with the original version of Thetawaves. It stuck in my head a lot more.

Chic N Stu ticked me off. It made me hungry, and I had to order pizza.

What troubled me about SOAD is when I first heard anything about them, people referred to them as rap/rock or compared them to Rage Against the Machine. Wow, I guess they never actually heard that first album.

Still, I can't talk. When I was at the music store the clerk recommended the first album, saying he didn't like it at first, but it got stuck in his head. But I left without it. Wasn't until Toxicity and I heard Chop Suey that I bought their stuff.

System of a Down IS a good band i dont know much about Disturbed though, but they can be quite annoying at times.

 

[Heart Collector]

someone mentioned The Blue Print, they great I saw their first ever gig which was in Derby, they were brilliant.

Don't rely on music television to give you good bands there are so many out there that aren't on the TV.
Cathedral
Electric Wizard
Orange goblin
Blaze
High on Fire
Mastadon
The Blueprint

both SOAD albums are great (haven't heard steal this album yet), and the new desturbed is pretty cool. so, i like them both.

 

[Jono]

steal this album is awesome I'm listeniong to it now. it is VERY origional. this one is catchier but it's all still got that heavy shit that SOAD does so well.

The Warrant and Slaughter of today's metal.

 

[evilholger]

Brentney is right.
The nu-metal scene today, is just like the glamrock scene back in the 80's and early 90's.

SOAD aren't very shocking disturbed maybe. but SOAD don't wear makeup or anything. they used too but no they're pretty normal looking... for a metal band.

I'm not a big fan of either band, but I don't think they're quite bash-worthy yet. They just don't do much for me. Maybe if the pickings really were that slim, I'd like them more, but actually there's so much great music out there that I can't keep up with it! I wouldn't know any of it existed if it weren't for the internet, but it's there.
