^ you sir, need to listen to Opeth well,at least that's a one good example of good metal bands around. and they've been around for a long time too. and the vitality of Metal or any music genre isn't based on new bands,mind you. it's more of the good bands that are still around,IMO
dEAR AEnimic,
Wat i`m tryin to say in e previous post is dat METAL is still surviving becoz of the metal bands dat r still ard doin their thing....
All these new bands jus have something missing in their music...n dat`s wat i meant by "metal is dead in a way"
N again....
My 2 cents
