"My favorite metal band is probably Burzum, iv being listening to some depressive bm like Xasthur and its really good, maybe someone who knows more on this type of bm can recommend some bands.If you like Xasthur, then you will properly like Nortt, a danish one-man depressive black funeral doom band. Also Shining and Silencer for some Depressive Black Metal.

I think it's stupid that bands like Job For A Cowboy, Bullet For My Valentine, My Chemical Romance, Parkway Drive and all the crap is called metal. You have all this little poser kids running around parading this shit and thinking they're all metal and shit. Try some real metal bands like Iron Maiden, Coroner, Armored Saint, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Blind Guardian, Re-Animator, Forced Entry, and there are many more. I really don't care if you think Job For A Cowboy is metal, to each their own. "Sorry bud, but Job For A Cowboy is definitely metal."
Liking new bands does not automatically make you a poser, I've been listening to Metal for years and my tastes move on with the times, I sill like a lot of older stuff but I also appreciate a lot of the new talent that is coming in to the genre, maybe you should to? It's either that or get left behind listening to 10 year old albums going on about "the glory days".

I'm 22, i'm not "trying to get a piece of the scene" I like Metal in most of it's forms, Deathcore and Metalcore happen to be two of these (probably because I'm a fan of Hardcore in general) and i'm sure a lot of fans of these sub-genres are exactly the same, why don't you stop spouting off this gibberish and grow up a bit, just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's bad and it certainly doesn't mean people who do like it are all "posers" or whatever stupid label you want to slap on them.
EDIT: Oh and Anbalsifer calling any of these bands talentless is flat out ridiculous, listen to ANY song off Allegiance by As Blood Runs Black and try and tell me those guys can't play (To be fair i've not listened to much Job For A Cowboy as i thought they sounded pretty meh when I heard them).
"My favorite metal band is easily At The Gates. If you like black metal or melodic death metal, you'll love them.they are amazing.

Modern take, this is where it fails. Fails hard. It's not real heavy metal, it's a extremely poor, as you say, take on 80's metal. The Beast And The Harlot or whatever it's called? That's is one of the most radio friendly songs I've ever heard. A7X are terrible.
Ok Quint I listened to As Blood Runs Black and not trying to go agaisnt you on purpose, but they are just crap I can name so many other DM bands that can play much,much better than that pathetic dribble. As soon as the vocals came in I knew that I was in for a bad ride. So many other "good" death metal bands that you should be listeing to.
JFAC are just crap, everything about them is shit, the vocals are just terrible , they guitar work is horrible, the shit breakdown after motheringfucking breakdown is nothing more than a gimick to work up the Brootal kids that like this shit.
Also Mr Jtickner has a good point, AX7 sounds nothing like a 80"s band , espically Maiden.Saying that they do , makes me concered about the state of your metal health.
"Can't look at the youtube videos as it's blocked at work.Hey Quint, you're right. They do sound like Iron Maiden.

Either way, I was not saying they're as good as Maiden, I was merely pointing out that there are modern bands that play that kind of Metal, I actually quite like City of Evil, I preferred them when they were more of a Metalcore act but i think it's a fairly good album nonetheless, radio friendly? Yes. As good as a Maiden album (or a Judas Priest album for that matter)? No.
This is besides the point anyway, what i'm saying is that a lot of the new bands and sub-genres are very talented and they are Metal whether you choose to acknoledge this or not, and quite frankly who gives a shit if you don't? I do care however when you call fans of this style of Metal "posers" or "wannabes" just because it's new music and thier taste differs from yours, it's stupid, immature and uninformed.
Look at my bio...
My favortie bands are.
- Metallica
- Dream Evil
- Kataklysm
- DÅÅTH
- dark tranquillity
- Amon Amarth

I never stated that you were saying A7X are as good as Maiden. You made a direct comparison between A7X and 80's Metal, saying A7X's album is a take on 80's metal and a lot of it was "ripped from Maiden" I was showing you it sounds absolutely nothing like Maiden.
The videos are Bat Country or some shit by A7X and Aces High by Maiden.

I genuinely do not care what you think of the "core" bands as I've said before each to their own but to call out fans of these genres as somehow less than you because of their tastes is ridiculous.
I didn't say Sevenfold sound exactly like Maiden or anybody else I said they draw heavily from that 80s Heavy Metal sound, I was merely trying to illustrate that there are modern bands that still play Metal in that style (it may not be as good as some of the God's of the 80's in your opinion (and mine tbh) but you cannot deny you can hear that era of Metal all over their last two albums), Jesus Christ I don't even like them that much.
For the record I like plenty of straight Death Metal.

All new metal is a sad shell of what metal used to be. I stick to anything pre 21st century and I'm good. I'm an old man though all of 29 but, an old soul. All that hardcore stuff sounds like a guerilla yelling in mic and a monkey banging out power cords. I do like DrangonForce though.
"I'm loving the amount of elitism in this thread. Who are you to claim a sub genre of metal is "Not really metal and is for fags". Are you kidding me? I bet you wear cardigans because jeans are to "main-stream" for your tastes.
