Ive said it before but...

[BigDaddyCool]

Corrosion of Conformity is one of the best metal bands you never heard. All these new metal bands like Opeth or whatever, suck so hard, then you compare them to Corrosion and they suck so much harder.

[Kane Knight]

I've heard them before.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I've started returning to the HEAVAY, after a 4 year absence or so of not really following the scene at all, and I have to say that what is being called metal and hard rock these days is complete, utter shite. Maybe I'm older, and therefore wiser, but it all seems blatantly marketed crap, which all sounds the same (though this really only applies to the more mainstream stuff, and I know this music has always been easy pickings for marketing). But anyways, I recently bought 2 Obituary albums and Entombed's "Left hand Path," all of which are 16-17 years old, and they totally piss all over the stuff that is around today. Saying that though, I do like Opeth.

COC kick ass, and even better, Down have a new album out at the end of the month. Tasty!

[Just John]

Scar Symmetry (Shit name, great band)
Dimmu Borgir
Naglfar
Kalmah
Nile
Meshuggah
Suffocation
DevilDriver
Ephel Duath
Napalm Death

Take my word and give those a listen, they will kick your head up your ass.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I'm thinking on name alone, COC is better than most of those bands.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Scar Symmetry (Shit name, great band)
Dimmu Borgir
Naglfar
Kalmah
Nile
Meshuggah
Suffocation
DevilDriver
Ephel Duath
Napalm Death

Take my word and give those a listen, they will kick your head up your ass.

Already know these bands. Some I like (Ephel Duath), some I hate (Scar Symmetry).

[Vastardikai]

"In the Arms of God" is the best CD I've heard in years. Stanton Moore, who was drumming on the album, is amazing.

All in all most of what BDC said, except Opeth has some good stuff. "Damnation" and "Deliverance" is great.

[Just John]

I'm thinking on name alone, COC is better than most of those bands.

Corrosion of Conformity? Sounds pretty Cliché if you ask me, not that Napalm Death doesn't, but Death Metal is a really cliché genre.

CoC are alright but not really heavy enough for me tbh

[ct2k]

COC flirted with brilliance a few times but they've never come close to Opeth at their best.

Although comparing a generic thrash band and a prog-death-whateverthefuck band is always going to be somewhat problematic.

[BigDaddyCool]

For JustJohn

Scar Symmetry - Never heard of them
Dimmu Borgir - Like 'em, but COC is better.
Naglfar - never heard of them
Kalmah - never heard of them
Nile- they aren't new, they have been around, and COC is better
Meshuggah - COC is way better
Suffocation - never heard of them
DevilDriver - I've heard things, nothing good
Ephel Duath - never heard of them
Napalm Death - see Nile.

Do you listen to The Black Dahlia Murder, BDC? If not, I think you should check them out.

[BigDaddyCool]

No, but I already know they suck. They don't make good metal anymore. It is all a bunch of bullshit.

[ron the dial]

I don't listen to much metal anyway, as I think that most metal sucks (whether new or old). They just happen to be one of the few bands that I do like.

[ct2k]

You've heard of Nile but not Suffocation?

[Skippord]

CoC is pretty incredible

[FakeLaser]

They're no Perpetual Abortion, the greatest death metal band of all time
