Metalhead checking in, Pantera, Slayer, Metallica, etc
Same here, most of the metal these days is just speed metal with silly lyrics.
Pantera had balls and soul, classic Groove Metal.
Metallica is great, new stuff not so much.
Megadeth has some amazing tracks and the guitar skills are incredible.
Slayer is still Slayer, i like their older stuff.
Iron Maiden
Anthrax to a degree
Back when the lyrics had meaning. I still listen to Pantera while working out a lot.
Even throw in bands like early Nine inch nails, Filter, Helmet, Marylin Manson, Korn, Alice n chains, Deftones, RATM. The early early music from these bands is very good metal.
Good shit.
