Other than Wooly Mammoth, stuff like "Monument" by Grand Magus is excellent. Internal Void are well worth investigating too.

Few good websites to check out for more of this stuff would be :-

www.Stonerrock.com
www.Hellridemusic.com

Ok, so lots of it is outright Sabbath and/or Kyuss worship, but if it ain't broke...

The Stonerrock site has an mp3 jukebox with loads of goodness. Current favourites being (right clicky, save as...) Witch and Glow

I've just cranked up "The Sound Of Perseverance" by Death.

What a remarkable album. The cover of Judas Priest's Painkiller is nothing short of a metal masterpiece.

Oh yes what an excellent album, and really an excellent band. Shame Chuck passed away when he was really on form - one of my all time favorite metal guitarists. Do you have the Control Denied album?

Dusted off my Sadus, Cehmical Exposure album at the weekend. Top stuff

Any serious fans here who listen metal????

Since I was a nipper. Started listening to Deep Purple (still do as Ritchie Blackmore is a God, an odd God, but a God nonetheless), Motorhead, Dio, Sabbath etc. Went through years of just listening to thrash, Slayer I still regard as the one of the greatest bands to walk the earth. Suicidal Tendancies were amazing, WASP were fantastic. Other faves I still listen to - Judas Priest, SOD, Bad News, Metallica (pre black album stuff) Megadeth, Venom, Korn, Zodiac Mindwarp, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Helloween were ok. Lots of thers, but there spring to mind and get listened to regularly still

just thought i'd share this here. i've been listening to "City Of Evil" a cracking album by a band some of you may know called Avenged Sevenfold, and it is an awesome heavy metal record IMO! here's a couple of tracks,

"Beast And The Harlot" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWPQ-bssAys&mod...

"Bat Country" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlpOsMNY9GU

turn it up loud and enjoy!

Indeed a good album. Trashed and Scattered is my favourite track

Browsing through You Tube for Tool and Danny Carey vids when I came accross this

boy's pretty good

I like Iron Maiden mainly.
I love 'Through the fire and flames' by Dragonforce, is there other stuff as good?

[School boy]

Why do I always end up killing threads?

[Negative Creep]

Much as I love metal, I really don't get this whole power and battle metal thing. Every song I've heard just sounds the same

Just a quick pointer, but BBC1s repeat of Seven Ages of Rock tonight is about Heavy Metal. It runs from 23:30 till 00:30, it was particularly interesting when I watched it last night.

They completely blanked GnR last night, I knew once they went from Master of Puppets to the Black Album they werent going to show it. Quite surprised really, as it went Crue, Poison, Metallica. No Megadeth either, but at least they didnt play Unskinny Bop

Ah well, hopefully tonights installment will have something on it. Supposed to be something about Zeppelin isnt there?

[Kinky]

Tonights is a repeat of last nights.

Just ignore the lyrics, they're only there to fill a gap

Doesn't seem to be much in the way of musical variety though. They all seem to use the exact same guitar sound!

Depends what you listen to. There are bands or musicians out there who will play so loud and quick without any real technique that it's hard to differentiate one track from another, especially if they're in the same key

But musicians together with various influences, such as Jazz/Fusion, Classic Rock, Nu Metal and Punk can pull off some amazing sounds. Smashing Pumpkins are one I'd note for that. One track has 46 (?) guitar tracks laid down

A programme on heavy metal which cunningly overlooked 95% of the rest of the meat: whilst it attempted to identify the point of Genesis it feebly caved in to the mainstream interpretation of which mass media invariably falls victim. Sabbath >> Maiden >> Peroxide >> Metallica.

No Steppenwolf ref, no Led Zep (if Communication Breakdown wasn't Mosh Station 1 then wtf is?), no Thin Lizzy, no (early) Aerosmith, (early) Kiss [only the best selling rock band on earth in the mid 70s], Skynryrd, UFO, Uriah Heep, early Rainbow, Rush, MOTORHEAD (!!!), Whitesnake, mk2 Sabbath, Saxon, Diamondhead {the band which gave you Metallica}, Megadeth, GnR and the morph into post grunge teeny bop crossover crap from which thank The Baron de Belleme, post traditionalist forms of Foodom, etc have arisen. They could have chucked in modern masterpieces from contemporary acts like Muse to show the spirit prevails to this day.

At least The Judean Pryex made a showing. Bah!

The other thing that these programmes invariably do is miss out, in its entirety, the industrial genre, without which the whole Nu Metl Thing (Blink 182, Limp Bizkit, etc; like them or lump them (for me, the latter), they sell serious numbers of records) wouldn't have happened.

From the early UK grindcore scene to Swans to Godflesh to Treponem Pal to NiN to FLA, none of it happened, apparently.

NIN were one of the most influencial bands in the 1990s....
