One thing is for sure - mallcore will never die. Like it or not, Hot Topic metal is here to stay, just like Behringer.

cyber-apocalyptic-mormon-emo-core is my guess... that or coldplay continuing to steal (err, i mean "sample") riffs from real rock bands/musicians
RockGuitarX
Miles of Machines
PhilR
Studio Scapegoat
Between The Buried and Me recorded an album of covers featuring "Bicycle Riding". Just sayin...
I have a feeling that actual singing might make a comeback ...
Thats actually quite a good call! The growling and screaming has been in favor quite a long now. In addition the operatic singing might come back in fashion, 3 inches of blood has been one of the very few bands that have gone to that judas priest/iron maiden/king diamond way of singing lately.

But the next big thing in metal is already here : Faith No More's reunion (and the come back of Cynic, Atheist and Pestilence) !!

Being a LOTR nerd I feel compelled to correct the slight mis-quote here:
'Do not trust to hope, for it is forsake in these lands'
I don't really care what the next big thing is because I've never liked what the current big thing is anyway. Nu-metal, Metalcore etc, never liked any of it.
The Metal underground trundles on, not giving two squirrels about any of that, and it is constantly giving me new awesome nuggets of mega-metal.
My current favourite band and sub-genre of the week: Mar de Grises and 'Ambient metal', along with the band Slumber.
Seriously though I think we might see ethno-metal..... Orphaned Land do it pretty well and I recently saw a Neetan Sawhney (sp?) gig on TV and thought how awesome it would sound with some metal thrown in. Sitar breaks alongside river-noises, Turkish chanting and Double kick.

Surely if there is a next big thing then we won't be able to predict it - thats what will make it "the next big thing".
For me it doesn't have to be a big thing or main stream , just different. I can remember when i first heard Dillinger - Loved it: going through that "do i like this or do i hate it?" reaction...

I really hope not, power-metal singing should be ambushed beside some lonely dockland warehouse, beaten unconscious with a blackjack, bundled into a Ford Sierra and mysteriously 'disappear'. Everyone will rejoice as they can finally venture back onto the internet and into independent record shops without being subjected to spandex cock-metal.
It's already among us, and it's name is BEHEMOTH!!!! Grooving DM may not be new, but the way they do it is. All hail the present and the future!!

God no, thier first few albums were pure black metal, then they did a total 180 and went pure death metal overnight.

well not entirely overnight I would say, Pandemonic Incantations and Satanica could be seen as a transition from pure bleak to pure death. But definitely hardly any black metal influences in their newer stuff.
I hope the next big thing in metal will be a big bang that exterminates all things metal/deathcore and arch enemy rip offs and in the process plants the seeds for more authentic and innovative bands

Behemoth is a black metal band with a touch of american Death Metal in here on their last albums. The lyrics are about Aleister Crowler and the Golden Dawn, very Black isn't it ?

If you base that decision purely on lyrics than some of the work of bands like Coven, Black Sabbath, Ozzy and many others would also be black metal. That makes no sense to me personally. The music is definitely death metal. Not that it really matters btw, as long as the music sounds good.

There are so many different outlets for different styles of Metal nowadays. If you look around hard enough you can just about find any particular style of Metal out there at the moment.
It's tricky to predict what will hit the mainstream next!
Things tend to go in circles though... Kinda like fashion.
