I did a quick glance through here and didn't see any thread dedicated to metal music, so I'm starting one. Hopefully I can get something posted every couple of days, whether its songs I like or any other news. Feel free to post up some songs you like, or whatever you find.

A couple quick disclaimers about metal for me.

1.) Fear Factory is my favorite band. I prefer the old lineup pre Archetype, but the new album was a refreshing step in the right direction. What the original lineup did for current metal though, is amazing.

2.) I like a lot of rap/metal groups, specifically Rage Against The Machine and Hed PE, though each have songs that aren't necessarily metal.

3.) Surprisingly, I like most female singers in metal. It's an aspect that, if done correctly, works for the genre.

4.) I am not into a lot of the death metal/black metal scene, but I do appreciate some bands from those genres, like Dimmu Borgir.

5.) Three albums I think that all metal fans should own are:

- Demanufacture by Fear Factory
- Blackwater Park by Opeth
- obZen by Meshuggah

6.) Yes, I know who Austrian Death Machine is. It was a brilliant idea by Tim Lambesis, and I love it, despite my borderline dislike of As I Lay Dying.

Anyway, the first video I am going to post is the first song released off of In Flames' new album Sounds of a Playground Fading, called Deliver Us. After what I thought was a disappointment with A Sense Of Purpose, I think In Flames has a good start to their new album. I also can't really tell that JesperStrömblad did not record with them. The album is scheduled to be released June 17th.
