New bands that will be classics in 15 years

Negura Bunget
Wolves in the Throne Room

I don't know. It's very difficult to say. I think that Entwine's Fatal Design is an album that definitely could fit into the "classic" category. Bits and pieces of each artist, I suppose.
 
Agalloch is going to be considered classic and considered one of the best bands regardless what style they get lumped into. very unique
 
I agree about Agalloch.

I think Negura Bunget definitely can be regarded as the classic. If they consistently put out some more amazing material, it's there.

As for Wolves in the Throne Room, they are classics in terms of USBM, at least, as far as I'm concerned.
 
Negura Bunget is awesome, but I doubt they'll become classics.

I think they probably will be, but more a long the lines of a Deathspell Omega, Mütiilation type classic at best, in that they're highly regarded among diehard black metal fans but still relatively unknown to casual black metal listener.
 
Gojira
Boris
Isis

And after Broadrick dies, he will be hailed as a legend by all - as long as he dies soon. If he lives to be old, he might only attain legendary status by those in-the-know.
 
Deathspell Omega and Blut Aus Nord is pretty much all I can think of right now...

Probably anything Neige has been involved with as well, which sucks because I can't stand most of it.
 
What? You hope Symphony X, who's sheer awesomeness overshadows any band, doesn't become classic? Why the fuck not? Fuck you're a faggot.

lol @ being called a fag by a Symphony X fan... I'd assume you were kidding but your sig proves otherwise. Dream Theater (who also feature in your sig) decimate them, to be perfectly frank.

Also... come on, man, Dimmu Borgir? Satyricon? Be truthful with me: are you a Cradle of Filth fanboy?

And while you may be right about Lamb of God becoming legendary, they also fall cleanly within the realm of "mediocre," just to be 100% clear. Simplistic music indeed.

:lol: Dream Theater are horrible compared to Symphony X who are really nothing more than above average - especially when compared to the true prog. metal greats like Queensryche, Pain of Salvation, Devin Townsend, Winds, and Green Carnation.
