bullet is a great metal band, my favorite album to date is Trivum's ascendancy, great fkn album

yep, ascendancy is amazing. If you can find another band that can put together like 5 masterpeice songs on one album like trivium did when they made ascendency then i would like to know about them. Drowned and torn asunder is just amazing. Have you heard triviums new song though, it kinda sucks!

WOWOWOW> You guys listed some REALLLY shit bands. Mind you the OP likes some terrible bands as well.
Try Vader, Cryptopsy(up to whisper supremacy), Nasum, Black Dahlia Murder, Hate Eternal, Vornagar, Amon Amarth, The Crown, Dimmu Borgir, Exhumed

A few people have mentioned some good bands, but A LOT of the bands are terrible.

You're going to call other people's opinion garbage when you like Dimmu Borgir and Black Dahlia Murder? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Bodom is fantastic except for "Are You Dead Yet?". Personally their worst album. I don't even listen to it. I'm all for bands changing styles and trying new things. But when you abandon about five key elements that made you rock the **** out in the first place, why bother?

I have to admit, I only own "Are You Dead Yet?" I didn't like it much at first, but it grew on me. It's not great by any means, but it jams pretty good.

Other than that I just have some Iron Maiden covers on MP3 that they did. Killer job, too.

gunshot is awesome. A couple of songs off the crusade are good and sound good on a system too.

Acquire "Downfall" "Hate me!" "Children of Decadence" "Triple Corpse Hammerblow" and "Hellhounds on my trail" if you want some sick stuff. Hellhounds is off their new album which kept AYDY's vocal style, but went back to more melodic metal.

Hmmm... just listened to "Hellhounds..." on youtube. I almost bought that CD the other day. I may go get it. Truth be told, I'm really more of a power metal/progressive guy, but I like to jam stuff like this in my truck sometimes. Especially when I'm pissed. Which is a lot more often lately.

Yeah... here's the solo... not much when compared to Dream Theater, but I feel like getting up and doing something now.

And that something is going to bed... **** It's 1am... 'Night y'all.

Yeah, technicality and musicality can't be compared anywhere near Dream Theater. They are more talented than some of the guys out there just throwing double bass and chugging power chords all over the place. And their sound can't be copied, another thing I like.
