i honestly didn't even realize there was an "off topic" section of the forums. i guess i've never scrolled below the fantasy football section before.

anyway, i'm just curious how many fellow metal loving brethren frequent the rotoworld community.

if you fit that description, let me know who you are and what band/album is currently snapping your neck.

me: the last mastodon and soilent green (not all that new) albums have been fighting for playing time in my house

Wouldn't it consider it "metal" but I've been listening to Oceano's new CD ever since it came out.

i would classify them as metal.

let's throw labels like "deathcore", "black metal", "death metal", "thrash metal", "stoner metal", etc. (i could go on forever) out the window. if a band is heavy, it's heavy...and that's metal to me. you know what i mean?

Yea there are a mired of sub-genres but I've also been listening to some Emmure lately.

I listen to mostly metal, although I havn't been listening to anything new lately. I'm only 25 but the older I get the less new stuff I listen too lol. And my Ipod broke awhile back so I havn't been downloading either.

MY rotation at work consists of Sepultura - Beneath the Remains, Arise, CHaos A.D : Therion - Vovin and Alas- Absolute Purity.

Also been listening to older Clutch, White Zombie, NIN, and Godflesh lately

I love me some metal, but am struggling to find anything new.
Lately I've been listening to some Volbeat and still a lot of Slipknot's "All Hope is Gone".

Old school metal head here: do not listen to any of that nu - metal , emo , screamo junk thats out there today.

i agree about the emo, screamo, etc. that's not metal.

so which bands still do it for you then? priest, maiden, sabbath, obviously rush...who else?

The Sword, Municipal Waste, S.T.R.E.E.T.S, 3 Inches of Blood.

Yup. Priest,Maiden,Sabbath,Motorhead,Saxon,Slayer, Testament,Overkill, King Diamond, Mercyful Fate, **OLD** Metallica & **OLD** Sepultura to name a few...

Neil Diamond, some James Taylor.....Kenny G when I am really pissed off and hating life........

Anvil: The Real Story of Anvil is one of the best documentaries I have seen in a while though.

Primer for hard music:

Shai Hulud - Set Your Body Ablaze
Hopesfall - End of an Era
Slayer - Raining Blood

Stuff I've been listening to lately:

(band / sample song)

Meshuggah / Bleed
Heaven Shall Burn / The Disease, Endzeit
Darkane / Innocence Gone
Arch Enemy / Nemesis
Between the Buried and me / Roboturner
In Flame / F®iend

Going to see Whitechapel this weekend too bad they are playing with a bunch of horrible god damn bands.

I wanna like Arch Enemy but something about a woman singing like that bothers me. In Flames though is still my favorite band and even though they've changed so much I still love every album they put out. A band you guys should check out if you don't already listen to is the Haunted.

Also a band I'm starting to get into is Opeth I have to be in the mood to listen to them though. But they're alot different from anything I've heard. They go from Death metal to acoustic guitar and a lot of their songs are 10+ minutes long.
