Your seriously heavy bands
Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth, The Berzerker, Napalm Death, Carcass. These are the bands that do incredible circle pits.

The only compliment I'll ever pay, but back at Download 2005 when Trivium weren't the complete bag of wank they are these days, their circle pits to 'Pull Harder...' were pretty good.

While I've never seen them, the Obituary ones are meant to be ace.

This may be classed as sad, but I do love them so!
I have a Trivium T tattooed on the side of my lower left leg

I saw Trivium supporting Motorhead once.
Monty's review: 'meh'.

Ditto 'In Flames'. 'Meh' with keyboards.

I find a lot of these recent metal bands to be pretty 'meh'
I was at Sonisphere and despite an "amazing" line up I only really enjoyed Metallica, Airbourne and Alice in Chains. Other highlights were Lauren Harris (Steve from Iron Maiden's daughter) and Coheed and Cambria (massive massive hair) and Thunder

NIN were disappointingly dirgy and all the recent metal was pretty samey and crap

Machine Head suck too

I like an atonal freakout
as much, nay, probably MORE than the next man, but al lot of these growly acts seem to have done away with tunes altogether.

Possibly my most 'old man' comment ever on B3ta, there.

Napalm Death reigned supreme for a while
I saw them, Extreme Noise Terror and Sore Throat a fair few times in the 80s. Heavy. This was in the Lee Dorrian-fronted years.
