\m/ Only good Metal \m/

Hopefully I'm not hijacking here...

Do you guys have any favorite bands that don't have vocals that try to sound like a growly monster, or get all high and operatic?
I'm so out of touch the only examples I can think of with good sounding vocals are pretty top 40 - metallica, tool, etc..
I tried finding new stuff a while ago and came up with a few, but nothing really caught on with me. I liked the sound of Ark alright I guess, but felt like I was listening to christian metal, which really rubs me the wrong way. I can't think of other bands I tried out off the top of my head... my memory = not so good.

Not impressed........Pantera is where it's at. Also Megadeth, Ozzy, and Black Label Society. As for newer bands...... Trivium or Bullet for my valentine.

black label society are fantastic. got a ticking off at work jsut the other ady for having it on too loud. i love getting ready for work with hangover music. i recently figured i'd update my knowlede and downlaoded the blessed hellride which is a really good album from what i rememeber so far

and does anyone know the name of the live festival in moscow that pantera acdc(? could be totally and utterly making that up, wno knowwws, noes knows, nose, nose, nose, words are funny) and metallica played at a while back. there was a fecking great dvdrip of it but i cna't seem to find it bless my cannabis beffudled stella twatted mind

Can't say I like your choice in metal much but at least you like to rock.

Pantera, megadeath, hast the day (Christan rock. album Burning bridges), Dark Tranquility album character, All that remains, Hate breed, Ozzy well the list goes on but here are some of my fav.

Thanks! I checked them out... not really my thing though. They have a bit of a boy-band feel to them. (No offense meant). Teen love songs don't fit with metal and punk for me. Give me cheesy death, demon, curses songs over that any day.

I appreciate the reply though.

Even though most of the examples were the monster/growly vocals that I'm not so into, I was looking forward to hearing more of peoples favorite bands...
