LEN Learns To Rock !

It's not bad, actually. There are some groups worth checking out.

It just proves, you'd listen to anything.

Reenk Roink, thanks, that'll do great help.

Zomby Woof, I'll highly probably get a SX SEG1, it's recommended by friends here several times as well as you did. Thanks

Capo, If you'd like to pre-order our debut release, I can open a PayPal account

No, I had a Turkish metal binge a few months ago. Your taste in music still sucks.

GoreBag, give me a list please of American bands you like, or think are good.

[LeftEyeNine]

AlexMaco, are you sure? GoreBag has a "heavy and thick" taste of music (I can't forget what he sent me after learning my hate against brutal vocals )

[Alexanderofmacedon]

I don't just like that, but I like some death metal...

Only a couple bands...

List GoreBag plz?

That was Plasma, a grind band from Germany. I don't even know if 'vocals' are the right word. I think they mic'ed the guy's stomach or something.

Alex, compiling a list of death metal bands would be, well, folly. A few classics wouldn't hurt, though:

Cannibal Corpse - The only death metal band able to live off of their music. Pretty bland if you ask me, but they're huge.
Morbid Angel - Started the new-school death metal scene in Florida. Also, their albums are alphabetically coded based on time of release ("Covenant" [C] is their third album, for example). Less bland, but still pretty vanilla.
Deicide - You've probably heard of Glen Benton and his antics before. Very popular band, had a few lame albums in the middle of their career. Even still, some of their music is just plain catchy.

That's pretty much as basic as one gets with death metal these days without getting into the old-school or proto-death areas. I'm usually on the chat if you're interested in talking about it in depth.

[Alexanderofmacedon]

Do you like any bands that aren't death metal?

Godsmack? Pantera? Metallica?

[GoreBag]

Bands that aren't death metal? Sure! There's black metal, thrash metal, folk metal, industrial metal, trad (or just 'heavy') metal... and there's grindcore and its offshoots: goregrind, pornogrind, thrashgrind...

Joking aside, though, yeah, I listen to other music. Some techno here, some electronica there; I also dig Scandinavian and Gaelic folk music, and I stumbled on a Tuvan (!) folk/punk band who play some very interesting and painfully striking music. After all that, though, I consider myself a metalhead for a reason, I suppose.

Godsmack never sat well with me (it's not real metal anyway), and Pantera was just boring. I thought Superjoint Ritual was a better band...I don't know. They just had a better feel to the music.

Metallica, I never liked either, including the old albums, with the exceptions of one or two riffs every once in a while. Some friends of mine, while still in high school, played some Metallica covers with their hard rock band at the school coffeehouse. I played the gong for the beginning of For Whom the Bell Tolls.

It's mainstream, so it MUST be bad.

Didn't say that.
