No

@ killbot-what are some good cybergrind bands? The only ones I can think of off the top of my head are twodeadsluts onegoodfuck and agoraphobis nosebleed

Gigantic Brain are my personal favourite, one of the most unique bands in metal. Also Ganglia aren't bad.

 

[Boru]

Yeah, but Im choosy about Sludge, as there's a whole stack of fucking losers who think ultimo-distortion= Teh WinnAr.

Crowbar, Eyehategod, Iron Monkey, Soilent Green, Acid Bath are the principle sludge bands I actually LIKE.

Crowbar and Acid Bath =

 

[Kreator/Destroyer]

PROGRESSIVE DEATH METAL, progressive, death-thrash, death, black, thrash, whatever the hell wintersun is on death and the healing, uhh melodic death metal of course

Acid Bath = uke:

 

[Mort Divine]

Acid Bath is amazing.

 

[ohiogrinder]

Acid Bath is amazing.

they sound like nu-metal crapola to me.

 

[Mort Divine]

Nu-metal? What the fuck?

Surely you mean the hardcore influence, as there is no nu-metal in them at all.

I don't like Dax's vocals or lyrics, and the music sounds too mainstream for me to like.

 

[Susperia]

It's mediocre stoner rock metal etc.

 

[Blinded By Blood]

I prefer the more atmospheric side of sludge

Cult of Luna, Isis, Neurosis, etc

Hey killbot, check out twodeadsluts...

I'm very big into Euro. Speed now, and also Melodic attributes to the same genre (Sypmhony-X, Angra, Blind Guardian, Dragonforce, Helloween, Savage Circus, ect.)

My second favorite would have to be the early thrash metal bands like Anthrax and such (Why bother listing..) and of course the classical metal from the 'Metal Gods'.

Its not that I don't enjoy Death metal or like, it just isn't as appealing to me. Its usually the vocals.

I'm much more of a fan of the speed in metal and the crazy fast riffs. Basicly anything with speed and a little bit of organiziation in the guitar chords is passable in my book.

 

[Krakatau]

I mostly like neo classical/shred, power, and progressive metal. And a little bit of death and thrash sometimes.

 

[TylerTheNuke]

Old sxhool black metal, the atmospheric stuff like burzum and darkthrone.

 

[King Richard]

Holy shit I agree with Ex-Cally. Acid Bath is fucking awesome. Crowbar sucks donkey kong!

 

[Carcassian]

Crowbar owns you Amarantus, and they own your car, house - indeed your whole life.

Listen to Odd Fellows Rest. Seriously. I mean seriously.

 

[Killbot]

Hey killbot, check out twodeadsluts...

for sure man, thanks for the tip.

 

[TheVaine]

TwoDeadSluts?

Sounds like a cross between a prono and horror movie,

"House of a 1000 Naked Corpses"

 

[Susperia]

Hhhahhahahaha

 

[Life Sucks]

My fave is death metal, followed closely by black metal and thrash (of the extreme Kreator/Sodom variety, not stuff like Megadeth and Testament). I also really like extreme doom metal. I generally prefer the extreme genres. I must admit, that I'm not much into the very early metal that closely resembles rock, as I do not like rock.
