best metal band of all time (metallica not allowed)

[FireBrewer]

Best Metal ever hands down

"Blacker than the blackest black, times infinity!" :rockin:

 

[schneemann]

Oh no kidding. Entombed is fickung sick. Left Hand Path is even better than Clandestine though.

OK, can you recommend any other Scandanavian metal?
I'm a huge fan of Entombed and Dismember.

If you like Entombed you should check out Carnage and Nihilist, early versions of Entombed basically with some of the members. Maybe Unleashed ?

I think we allready mentioned Finntroll - sort of Scandinavian "folk" metal - very bizzare music actually, if you've never heard of it before think of a Black Metal Band playing a polka. Completely weird but somehow pretty... this is their song "Trollhammeren" which is probably the least weird thing they've ever done, the rest of their music is much more "folk" music influenced. Plus the video is funny..

[DeathBrewer]

[chortly]

Black Sabbath has influenced every dark metal band since 1970

Absolutely. Just like old black dudes playing the blues influenced Zep, Clapton etc. I wonder what influenced Sabbath? Besides a hatred for putrid 60's hippie flower children. And a propensity to overindulge in acid.

 

[DeathBrewer]

i think you nailed it.

 

[Mutilated1]

OK this is another band which is certainly not the "greatest of all time" or anything, but in the interest of keeping this topic alive...

check this band out:

Severed Savior - Brutal California Death Metal

MySpace.com - Severed Savior - SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, California - Death Metal / Death Metal / Death Metal - www.myspace.com/severedsavior

Brutal Death in the vein of Deeds of Flesh, maybe a bit more in the Technical direction than DOF, but certainly not as tech as like Origin or Decrepit Birth. If you like Suffocation or Morbid Angel you'll love them. Crushing speedy riffs and blast beats to make baby Jesus cry.

 

[lurker18]

Saw in one concert: Soil, Mudvayne, Rob Zombie, Ozzy. All rocked (Ozzy slowed the show down)

Honorable mentions for me:
Godsmack
Disturbed
Alabama Thunder*****
Cryhavoc

This is a friend's band when I filled in at bass for them.

 

[sithspitt]

Slipknot friggin rulz!

 

[WinsomeLass]

Another vote for Motorhead.

 

[Kronin]

wow. people voting for jethro tull, led zepplin, even rob zombie??? omfg please.

It is going to be like, Slayer, or some lesser known (but fantastic!) band like Brutal Truth, or FEAR FACTORY!

 

[Kronin]

p.s. this should be a voting post so we can count the results

 

[DeathBrewer]

****ing Slayer. That is all.

 

[Kronin]

Absolutely. Just like old black dudes playing the blues influenced Zep, Clapton etc. I wonder what influenced Sabbath? Besides a hatred for putrid 60's hippie flower children. And a propensity to overindulge in acid.

yep, that and sweet leaf x 9999999999


on that note, today was my first boil extract / steep and it went great, I am really surprised how much the hops all soaked in there smells like pot. even with the knowledge that the hop plant is in the hemp family... smells great in my house right now!

 

[danorocks17]

I gotta go with Slipknot. I think they have progressed well. Most metal bands (i'm not really that into metal though) lose my interest quickly, but I've listened to them for 6 or 7 years now.

And for the record AC/DC is not metal. They take that as an insult and AC/DC is my 1a favorite band of all time, the Beatles being 1b

 

[Donthoseme]

Jethro Tull people, Jethro Tull.

The awesomeness of that cannot be explained with words.

 

[Kuglehaus]

Anthrax? Back in the day.. that was good stuff... Bring the noise!

 

[Stef1966]

Oh it's a Metal thread...

I was gonna name a few bands but it's not metal.

I love bands like Rainbow, Dio, Deep Purpple, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Megadeth, Scorpions, Iron Maiden.

But those are probably not considered Metal nowadays so I know my generation's music has got nothing in common with nowadays Metal.

and you know what?
I am damn proud it doesn't have anything in common with any bands going on today.

 

[eager_brewer]

Hmm Five Finger Death Punch is my favorite with Slipknot right behind them.

 

[Gmrpr7]

Metallica!!!...hahaha
That really is my top choice, but since they're "not allowed" I would have to go with either Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Anthrax, or System of a Down. All very different, but all very good.


Metallica!!!

 

[Mutilated1]

do yourselves a favor and pick up "Evisceration Plague" by Cannibal Corpse and then you'll realize what the best metal band ever is

 

[Kuglehaus]

I change my vote to System of a down.... Now that is GOOD stuff.

 

[no1likesme]

^what he said^

 

[DeathBrewer]

Man, there is a lot of stuff in this thread that is NOT metal.

You guys should check out Necrophagist, Skeletonwitch, Evile, Skinless, Venom, Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, Kalmah, and Fragments of Unbecoming.

Maybe even some Cattle Decapitation for you vegans out there.

:rockin: :rockin: :rockin: :rockin:

 

[harley03]

LED ZEPPELIN :rockin: Any questions

 

[DeathBrewer]

yeah, what's not heavy metal?

It's like jeapordy!

 

[Owlbar]

Who else?
