I hope you don't count groups like Converge with the rest of metalcore if you say that, then.
Anyone listen to Sons of Otis here? Decently obscure stoner doom band, pretty cool though.

i haven't heard animals as leaders, but blotted science is pretty bad from what i remember. generally metal that puts technical prowess above fluent songwriting isn't worth it. fast/technical playing doesn't make up for a band sounding like they're just piecing together music that's already been done.
converge is more hardcore than metalcore, they retain most of their punk influence. most modern metalcore is just heavier radio rock with some (poorly done) harsh vocals thrown in.

Post-Misfits Danzig came a bit too late to be an influence on Metallica imo, though I believe James actually did some uncredited backing vocals on the first Danzig album.
Speaking of influences and Danzig, that guy had some unusual influences -- Johnny Cash and Bill Medley as well as a bunch of middle eastern type music too (which shows a lot on Danzig 6:66).
i've got it and his (their?) other albums, but for the latest one i haven't heard it, too lazy to convert >_>
Oh metalhead thread, so THIS is where you've been hiding all this time from me!!!
I like all metal except black metal and metalcore but I don't really care about what kind of metal it is as long as I like it.
I'm mostly an old school kind of guy.
Some of my favorite bands are Judas Priest, Saxon, Dio, Overkill, Exodus, Angel Witch, Vio-lence and many others :)

i think there's a shitton of substance, and i really dislike Necro because it's all wank.
if that helps you at all. ;)
hmmm...?
you can download it in mp3...(?)
do you listen to any current metal?
I dunno I find Blotted Science to be full of wankery. I enjoy Liquid Tension Experiment, though, but that's probably because I like jamming music and they have a lot of guitar solos and stuff rather than being lots of time changes.

you should take a listen to some Candlemass and Saint Vitus methinks. They were around in the 80s and have that old-school metal feel, and Candlemass is still putting stuff out (their newest record is amazing). You might also want to check out Early Man, a 00s band that I think sounds a lot like like Judas Priest
Some current yes, but what period of time do you consider current metal?
Ummm I listen to some Amon Amarth, Alestorm, Aura Noir (don't remember if they're that current) umm some Nevermore, Skeletonwitch.
Also I listen to the so called new wave of american thrash or something like that. Toxic Holocaust, Bonded by Blood, Warbringer, Gama Bomb, etc.
Not as good as the original but pretty good.
Yeah not that much new stuff xD
It's mostly because I haven't been exposed to it that much.
By the way!
Anyone plan on seeing the Rust and Peace tour with Megadeth Testament and Exodus?
New Overkill album cme out on the 9th
i'm not an overkill fan so i don't think i'll check it, anyone heard the new meshuggah live?
Forty years ago today, Black Sabbath released their debut album Black Sabbath. Today heavy metal albums officially turn forty years old
fair enough. there's a lot to digest tohugh, so a couple more listens are essential before making your final judgement.
the last 10 years or so is what i consider "current". ;)
i'm not sure what to recommend you, since i'm not big on any of the bands you mentioned.
maybe try Extol: Undeceived on for size. :naughty:
excellent progressive death metal with clean vocals and orchestrations galore.
Dekapitator kills! Release the Dogs makes me jizz a little...
Never heard of Wolfpack Unleashed, I'll see what I can Find on them.
Not a fan of Extol. I don't like the combination of death metal vocals and clean vocals.
Also I didn't like their riffs.
