Totally agree, they have some really strong songs for emotion, Hollow Years is one of my favs for that, and yeah As I am another strong song, as is Innocence Faded another great track off awake, Petrucci is one of the strongest writers in the group for lyrics, but Portnoy also can write some good ones like his twelve step program he is writing in the albums (The Glass Prison, This Dying Soul, The Root of All Evil.)

Now hear this: GWAR has the most twisted/weirdest metal lyrics on the planet.

...IMO, of course.

Anyone here like/heard of Gojira?

The new Negura Bunget album (OM) is great too bad it's so short

Ha, i'll second that.

I've been getting into some Pain of Salvation recently picked up their album The Perfect Element Part 1, amazing progressive metal, just a very talented band, what makes them even more interesting is that every album they have made are all concept albums and not silly concepts but based on real things like childhood, love, war, and other ideas, ranks up there with Dream Theater and Symphony X imo.

I just borrowed a bunch of CDs from one of my friends, some of them that I can remember are Seether's "Karma and Effect" Dope's "American Apathy" and Spineshank's "The Height of Callousness".

Seether is actually quite good...

[chainsoar]

Dope? *groan* Spineshank ain't that great either. Dunno about Seether. I think they're screamo/hardcore, though, not metal.

Seether is the closest thing to emo that I like so far...and the one song that i've heard from Spineshank is awesome! (New Disease).

Seether are an awesome band, but they are neither metal, hardcore, emo, or screamo, they're a post-grunge band haha. I thought everyone knew that.


Recently I've been listening to some Ataraxie, Raventhrone and Via Mistica stuff. All good bands Ataraxie are a French doom/death metal band, Raventhrone are epic black/gothic metal and Via Mistica are gothic metal.
