Can't find the old one.
Metal/Heavy Metal/Industrial/Darkwave/Whatever other crappy genre the media has lazily labelled a group of bands with.
Punk/Heavier Pop can be included too if you feel like mentioning some stuff that's not quite 'metal'.
So, any new stuff out there that's worth a listen?

Yeah, I have that video too and it's awesome.
I saw some coverage from Download of Slayer on Kerrang inbetween all the lame whiny emo bands that Kerrang seems to love. They were awesome there. But the sound was kinda muddy... I think butchering your open E string with 16ths at 200bpm might work better when you're not tuned down to C#.
The problem with the whole Reign In Blood album is that it's sounds too small like you said Chr1s. If it was mixed like Seasons In The Abyss it'd be awesome.
I have to stop using the word awesome.
> Slayer: Venom played by competent musicians.
Hmm...
And on a side note,
Vader: Slayer On Steroids

That's the problem with a lot of metal, the recorded version of a song is often over-produced and it makes it sound somehow...smaller.
Slayer are awesome anyway, but live, they are outstanding.

Angel of Death is amazing live, though admittedly the video I have of it isn't perfect: Pretty crap sound quality, Paul Bostaph's drumming isn't quite to the standards of Dave Lombardo... still, the switching lead guitar part is awesome and it's properly recorded, from an Ozzfest some years ago.

Angel of Death is amazing live, though admittedly the video I have of it isn't perfect: Pretty crap sound quality, Paul Bostaph's drumming isn't quite to the standards of Dave Lombardo... still, the switching lead guitar part is awesome and it's properly recorded, from an Ozzfest some years ago.
Slayer: Venom played by competent musicians.
The British RATM = One Minute Silence.

They don't really, they're just modern rock.
They get classed as metal because it's some people use it innacurately as an umbrella term for anything involving aggression and guitars.

If you guys all love Rage Against the Machine though, that ends any validity to any of the bad things you've ever said or can ever say about hip-hop.
Because RATM are like Public Enemy with guitars.

<3 RATM
I think people over-estimate how Heavy this kind of music really is. If Rage Aaginst the Machine count as Metal then it can be almost funky.
