Hmm... metal... I used to listen it when I was younger. Now it's not interesting for me anymore, although I still keep a few albums just to remember what I used to like. Now I listen to synth-pop, ebm, industrial and so on. I was always fond of metal which have used synths a lot so it was quite natural for me to go towards synth-based music. I even have basic synth at home and compose some old-school tracker-ish music from time to time for myself. I always keep an eye on mixed metal and electronic projects, especially sort of Vigilante where synthesizers play major role while guitars only provide metallish background. Front Line Assembly is also very interesting project, it was a first ebm band I heard, eventually it became my favourite and it was also bridge from metal to synth music.

Currently I don't listen to metal music, with exception of one unique band: Machinae Supremacy. I guess there is no need of explanation here at Abandonia. :-)

who are they? o.O

www.machinaesupremacy.com

Just listen to their music, most of it is avaliable freely from their website in high quality vorbis ogg format, you'll surely recognize some motives from good ol' classics, all that wrapped into some sort of weird power metal with lots of synthesizers and their special toy: modified SID chip synth (yea, the c64 music chip). Some tracks are purely instrumental, some have vocals, some don't even have guitars at all. Lyrics are even game-related (like "Player One" song). Just listen...

p.s. I thought MASU (short-hand sort-of-abbriveation for Machinae Supremacy) is well-known here... :-)

well I'm sorry to admit this but ive been listening to Six Feet Under recently, mostly covers songs. Whats funny is his singing is so bad its enjoyable like a B rated movie. The only songs ive heard that aren't a cover, that are tolerable is "Shadow of the Reaper" and "Amerika the Brutal". There pretty good.

Find "haunted" album, it doesn't contain covers and I must say it's pretty damn good, well at least it was so when I used to listen to that sort of music.

Hey Shunk, is L.D. 50 the best Mudvayne album, or what? (I really don't know, haven't got it yet).

Industrial metal isn't bad at all, Marilyn Manson is awesome!
