i listened to motorhead - inferno yesterday while i was running and i ran faster and harder than i ever have before. It’s good hard rock/metal. No BS. Plus they’ve been around forever and their old stuff is great too… ---

As I lay Dying for starters (metalcore) Opeth (metal) In Flames (metal) Can you be more specific on what you are looking for… do you want heavy, growling, screaming, singing you can understand? ---

Celldweller and Spineshank are amazing. Pitchshifter is good tooooooo. Oleander, Primer 55, Reveille, Lostprophets… Reveille and LP had some singles out there, but all of their stuff is good. ---

Minus the Bear FTW. Check out Russian Circles and Pelican. There both instrumental but its some of the best stuff ive heard. If you want really good metal check out anything by Between the Buried and Me, Darkest Hour, ISIS, The Minor Times. Good Hardcore go for Vision of Disorder, Hatebreed (Even though Jasta is a dickhead), Bury Your Dead, or Municipal Waste. And please dont listen to Atreyu or As i Lay Dying…bleh. 99.9% of new metal/hardcore is horrible. ---
