I decided to edit this with stuff I've been listening to of late.

The Sword - Warp Riders

Ridiculous solid rock and roll album with some great guitar work. This is the title track from the album

Earthless - Sonic Prayer

Gritty, dirty rock and roll. Part of 1 of the opening track

Diecast - Day of Recoking

Older album from early 2000 that got a lot of heavy play on a local metal station, WSOU for you jersey people, that some of you guys may dig. The band has since lost this singer and have gone with another guy who is more "mainstream friendly" but the drummer in the band was insane. He nearly got picked to play with Slayer when they were looking for a new drummer a while back and doing try outs.

Melvins - Houdini

Does much really need to be said about this band and the huge influence they've had on bands

LOVE The Sword and The Melvins...good call on both of those. Thanks for the intro to Diecast, digging them as well.

Ahh, Slayer. There is never a bad time for Slayer. Good Call bruNo.

A blast from the past - Fear Factory: Zero Signal from the Demanufacture album. Amazing song from an amazing album.

And another from the same album: Self Bias Resistor

If you're digging the Diecast stuff start with Day of Reckoning, their one and only album with that singer, then go into the stuff after that.

Since I'm listening to this now. Japanese Rock and Roll awesomeness that is Boris

I've never been a huge fan of not being able to understand what's being said (except for the case of Rammstein \m/) however.. I still tend to listen to that style music pending the music itself is solid. That's pretty much the only reason I listen to CoB

prolly has one of my favorite riffs.

If you like Children of Bodom then check out Dimmu Borgir & 3 Inches of Blood if you haven't yet.

Couple more for everyone.

Unearth: band from Massachusetts that have gone through some musical progressions as they released their albums. The first link is the opening track from their first full length and the second song is from their second EP (I don't know what's up with the second video, it's hard to find stuff on youtube from their earlier releases).

I'll give it a listen - thanks for the rec.

I respect them tremendously music-wise, but I have a hard time getting into his vocals...maybe I need to listen to some more of their stuff.

If you like Children of Bodom then check out Dimmu Borgir & 3 Inches of Blood if you haven't yet.

I've really gotten into Dimmu Borgir lately, I bought 'in Sorte Diaboli' and 'Abrachadabrah?' - both which I dig very much.

I know I've pumped Amon Amarth up on this thread before, but I have been really jamming them lately - on the way to work...whenever I can really -

This song gets me pumped in the mornings - something about their riffs make me want to go to battle.

And another classic of theirs:

I've also been getting into Vader a lot lately - these guys are extremely brutal. One of my favorites of theirs, Lead Us.

I have also been trying to get into Behemoth, some of their stuff is pretty good - At the Left hand Ov God:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSkiT1Ypjcs

(pretty blasphemous video, but hey, you're on the Metal Thread)

Death Cult Armageddon has been Dimmu's best release since P.E.M. Not that the other are necessarily bad, I just wasn't a hug fan of either, especially Abrahadabra. You guy should check out Dissection, they aren't symphonic but a definite must for any black metal fan.

^^ Nice submission!

Another that I've been digging lately - more low key than some of the stuff on here, but awesome none the less. Primordial - Empire Falls

Also, not sure how I feel about this band, but this song is pretty good. Bagpipe(?) metal FTW. The vocals get really good towards the end of the song. (plus the bagpipe dude trips me out!)

One more...

    • Xbox Insiders get Xbox 360 achievements and Gamertag character upgrades by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft is continuing its fast-paced update schedule for Xbox Insiders. Today, the company announced a new slate of features it is rolling out to Xbox Insiders in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring, which includes an expansion to the gamertag system, Xbox 360 achievements, and more. The unique Gamertag that Xbox users can choose for their profile is getting more characters. Instead of the 12-character limit, Insiders will now be able to get a Gamertag that's 15 characters long. The 12-character limit will still apply to Gamertags that are not unique or contain any non-Latin characters. Meanwhile, Microsoft is adding Xbox 360 game support to its Game Hubs. Selecting an installed Xbox 360 game on a modern Xbox console will now show achievement progress, captures, and other information. Achievement pop-ups are back for these classics too, which should be good news for achievement hunters. The next change is for Xbox players who can't wait to jump into their games when an update is required. "If a game requires an update and is available to stream through your Game Pass membership, you can start playing immediately with cloud gaming while the update downloads in the background," explains Microsoft. The final change of this Insider update is once again to the game cards. Insiders will find that all games, both released and upcoming, will now have a simple button to add to their profile's wishlist, making the process much easier from a single place. This Xbox update is rolling out today to Insiders in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring. As usual, Microsoft aims to bring it to more Insiders over time before they reach all Xbox owners. Head here to find out how to join the Xbox Insider Program to get a chance to test these features and upcoming ones on both consoles and PC.
