Here's some bad ass metal.

Ouch. I listen to a lot of metal, and more so - Deathmetal (other genres within DM like old school Dm, Brutal DM, Tech DM, etc. and the other mini genres within like Polish DM, Brazilian DM, Swedish DM, Floridian DM, NY DM, TX DM, Cali Brutal DM, etc. etc.), some Blackmetal, Doom (specifically Funeral/ Atmospheric), and Grind (Grindcore, Goregrind, Death/ Grind, PornoGrind, etc.). Most of what's posted so far is kinda meh to me ... I'm not into Hardcore or Powermetal or Classic Heavy Metal like Sabbath (vocals annoy me) for different reasons, and to each his own I say, respect your opinion(s). I'm more of a Incantation, Immolation, old Carcass, old Death, Asphyx, Morbid Angel, Malevolent Creation, Evoken, Skepticism, Primordial, Sinister, Carnage, Brutality, Rotten Sound, Iniquity, Hate, Cannibal Corpse, Vader, old Cryptopsy kinda guy ... and many more bands XD ... can't list em all to kill the thread now can I :p ... old Metallica up to And Justice was good, same with older Impaled Nazarene or Slayer ... Slayer died post Reign In Blood imo. Meshuggah are just superb technical ...

Is it just me or has no one even mentioned Pantera?

Cowboys From Hell:


Domination (my favorite Pantera song):


Cemetary Gates:

I did, you just didn't check, also, we need moar Extreme Metal up in this motherfucker.

He is BFMV's cover of Domination. Many hardcore metal and Pantera fans believe this is horrible, but I beg to differ. I think they did an amazing job.

I don't think I've seen a single cover of a famous song yet where people wouldn't say that it sucks balls big time or simply make fools out of themselves by repeating "THE ORIGINAL IS BETTAR." over and over.

Nah I don't know much about BfmV but I thought it's quite alright, no one can except that vocalist whose name I don't know to scream it down like Phil did (My first thought when I heard him was that he's trying too hard, though.), or the guitarist whose name I don't know to squeal this shit like dime (He did great on the solo if you ask me.) - look at Killswitch Engage's cover of Holy Diver, which is a damn great cover, and hear people scream at them that they're sucking because the vocalist growls the high parts he can't reach since, guess what, he's not Dio himself (Which makes sense, doesn't it?). I hate such people.

whoa, all this badass song is hurting my ears...not really a fan of this things. but these kinds of thing is kinda cool if watched live.

Well in my case variety of genres, from classic like Judas Priest and Motorhead, to thrash like Slayer (all of it, not just first three like some usually bitch about), Metallica, Dark Angel, Sepultura etc. to death metal like Death (every album is just perfect) to Vader, Obituary (favorite evarrr), Atheist, Carcass, Morbid Angel etc. etc. Oh yes and the almighty Nile, if anyone mentioned it.

Power and industrial and melodeath aren't my thing. But in every genre there are some exceptions of course.

Hmm I havent seen Venom on here,









And also some Judas Priest

I don't really listen to much metal, but I've been checking out a few experimental (experiMETAL?) metal bands lately.
I dig avant-garde music.

Also, the drummer from Slayer lives right down the street, he's never home though.

Can I be your new best friend and come to your house everyday?

yeah have to say they suck live, so hard
