Sorry. But true.

I like Frantic and St Anger from St Anger.

Where do I buy a Meshuggah record, sorry CD

Maybe... I'm still curious though, what is it about them that makes them sound like anything other than death metal?

Maybe you have a different idea of what death metal is then. Still a kick a*! song though.

SWEET MAN, I'm at that show too! Should be FRICKEN sweet. I've seen KSE before at the astoria and they were amazing. The other band that is playing with them 'All That Remains', I think I am more looking forward to them because I bought their album after hearing one song and they are soooooo damn good. So, I gots to learn me a lot of their lyrics and get singing.

Also, I'd reccommend 'Poison The Well' to anyone who's after a hardcore band. And if you're after REALLY hardcore, you might even wanna try Dillinger Escape Plan. Best live show EVER.

Before you wrote this I was going to use the phrase masterpiece to describe Master of Puppets. Any other phrase would be underselling it.
