...err... the new arch enemy album FUCKING SUCKS

it's some of the most piss poor bland nu metal I've -ever- heard.

God I'm fucking depressed, that was about my one big hope for a decent album this year.

UGHHH.

Mary mother of christ I'm so gutted in flames gone, metallica (even more) gone, sepultura, megadeth, pantera, death, soilwork - everyones sold out or split up (rip Chuckie :'( )

SOMEONE RIGHT NOW GIVE ME THE NAME OF A BAND THAT WILL RESTORE MY FAITH IN METAL

no stupidly obscure whale noise metal either.

please I'm begging you suggest some decent metal bands of any sub genre that I can get my teeth into and hide from the failing of most of the greats, all the bands i love suck now besides a small few (opeth, dark tranquillity, testament etc)

please give me bands to listen to

Well, I wouldn't say it is nu-metal, but it's not that good either. I'm a little disappointed as well. I wish Johan was still the vocalist. His vox were way more brutal.

I downloaded Arch Enemy's new album! Was it Wages of Sin? If not, I got an older one. Anyway, the growling chick singer I didnt think it was numetal, I think thats sexy that chicks growl. I saw her on music video, shes hot.

 

[ChromeLife]

Borknagar

 

[Khayman666]

Novembre

I second that. Also, I`m sure you`ve probably heard `em before (I mean, there is a forum dedicated to them right here at this very site), but if not, I`d say check out Into Eternity.

their newest (anthems of rebellion) is terrible, and not easily downloaded from anywhere at the moment. wages of sin is a good album, only a couple of tracks I don't like. the problem with the new one is that it isn't good. in fact its bad, each song only has about 3 riffs, all terrible, its downtuned so much there's no life left in the melodic sections - all the riffs literally go like

A A

A A

A A A A A B A

and there are LOADS of horrible sounding squeals and growls.

and the chorus of every single song is balls.

I'm gonna get me a novembre album... I actually bought a daylight dies album when I saw them supporting katatonia,

only cleverly, due to the fact I couldn't read their logo I didn't bother watching them and turned up late.

Clever eh.

Erhm, Metallica did not sell out. Check their latest album. St.Anger. No problem.
