Reload is their best. I really fail to see what is wrong with it.

Reload was far from their best.
EDIT- Even by their own admission, it's the songs that weren't good enough to be on Load.

Also, I second Dethklok

What Bizzaro Universe do you hail from? Have you never listened to Metallica (aka The Black Album), or Master of Puppets, or Ride The Lightning, or anything else that they released before Load?

As for Metal, and this is may be brderline for you, but I've always liked Tool.

Another choice I like is Body Count, a heavy metal group founded by Ice T, made infamous for thier controversial protest song "Cop Killer".

I have every Pre-Load album, and I prefer Reload.

Uh, what's screamo to you? Everyone I know has a diferent definition.

To me, screamo is like... early Funeral for a Friend, or Finch, or like From First to Last, or kind of Atreyu. Anything generally emo with screaming. Hence scream+emo = screamo. But a lot of people use it as anything with screaming vocals, which I would go so far to say encompasses growls as well. So, if it's the former, the emo+screams, then I would suggest The Human Abstract, definately one of my favorite bands.

If its the latter, anything with screaming vocals, check out Mercenary's The Hours That Remain. It's a fuckin' sweet album.

Some good Prog-semideath is Opeth, which I think you might like despite your criteria, if you haven't already listened.

My definition of screamo is anything that sounds like the singer just screaming, instead of actual understandable vocalizing.

I'm not much of a metal aficionado, but I would recommend Blind Guardian if you haven't listened to them yet.

Mirai Gen · 05-08-2008, 02:15 AM

Whenever I think Ride the Lightning, instead of thinking of metallica, I think forward, down, back, forward, Hard Slash, "Raidu za Lighteneing!"

Anyway.

Avoid Slipknot like the plague that they no doubt are. Killswitch Engage is pretty awesome, and I second pretty much everything that's been said in the thread so far.

OctoberRaven · 05-08-2008, 02:51 AM

Slipknot isn't even metal, so yeah.

Blind Guardian... they're sometimes metal, but sometimes they're kind of... well... mideval-style music.

As long as you know what you're getting into though, Blind Guardian is awesome.

I happen to like Arch Enemy's Anthems of Rebellion album, but that might be a tad over into the Death Metal scene. Also In Flames rocks a whole bunch.
