To J Hetfield & crew : You suck.

Well I've spent all my life searching and now I've finally made the ultimate metal discovery...
A good metal band that lasts more than four albums!
Think about it, how many bands actually last four albums before they start 'progressing' and saying "that any real 'fan' will adapt etc and they aren't alienating anyone blah blah blah I'm a sellout ooh look at my bling bling I can't even grow long hair anymore".
You get the point...look at some of the classic bands, Metallica the worst example, after '...And Justice For All' they went to hell, Megadeth - after 'Rust in Peace' they went bad, even a band as mighty as Opeth started going kooky after Still Life (although deliverance and damnation were good albums and I personally liked them, they weren't as powerful as their previous work).
The only bands that usually survive the 4th album are generally pretty crap to begin with...Slayer, Annihilator (those guys are hilarious) being some of the ones appearing in my collection.
But now I've hit the my personal holy grail of metal, a very good, unique band that has survived not 5, but 6 studio albums...unfortunately they are a bitch to find in S.A (I've only grabbed two of their albums from Melbourne in that store underneat the railway, Metal Mayhem perhaps?).
If anyone likes old school metal (none of this new age drop-d retard pissed off high school kid stuff) then check out 'Lefay'! Another awesome band from europe (not death and/or black metal) but I feel like I'm the only person listening to them. They used to be known as 'Morgana Lefay' before they had some kind of legal issues and now all their albums are released as Lefay.
Anyway, I'm done.

Dude, don't knock Tool.......
Lefay I have not heard.
To me, a band that retains the same style thoughout their career is neither innovative, nor, in the end, interesting. And if they are successful at that original style, one could also be of the opinion that they are selling out. Change is a natural evolution.
Having said that, however, some really good bands that probably have not changed too much, and are still very good are: My Dying Bride, Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, In Flames, Meshuggah, Dilinger Escape Plan, Ministry, Anthrax, Pantera and Death Angel. Also Strapping Young Lad. They have only had three albums, but Devin Townsend has created numerous other releases, some of which are also very heavy. SYL have evolved, but not changed too much.
I'm not a guitarist, so I don't know how many of these bands use drop-D tuning. All of these bands 'mix-it-up', varying their style while not changing dramatically. All of them are still very hardcore (not the style). I am not a fan of Metallica's current style, but I don't hold against them the desire to change style for the sake of wanting to play something different.

Nah I'm not knocking Tool - i own two of their albums But having said that some of their stuff gets dull after a while.
Pantera have hella changed, I mean ask most Pantera fans what they think of 'Cowboys from Hell' and they'll say "what album?".
Cradle of Filth - you heard their latest album, I reckon it was a huge improvement over their previous work, although most people would say it's a pile of turd as it is very different as well.
I STILL haven't heard Meshuggah - what rock am I living under you ask?! I dunno, but I haven't crawled out of it have I???

True, style can change - like I said Opeth's latest albums are still fantastic, if in a completely different vein to their original albums. But what is retained is the musical complexity, the structure and the energy they put in. I listen to what most bands consider 'progression' and I'm struck by a wave of blandness. Dark Tranquillity changed their style and I personally think pulled it off well with 'Projector', but their next album was balls - music and style wise.
Heh - as for drop-d it's not all that important, I've just seen some bands WAY over-use it's advantages to the complete disregard of it's disadvantages.

I must admit I only know Pantera's first three. There are changes, but not to the scale of Metallica. Metallica went from really good speed metal, to a dark, moodier album (black) that had some good riffs (eg sad but true), to a complete load of shitty, schlock-rock.
Also, I only know one Cradle album, that being Cruelty and the Beast, so I cannot judge it against their latest releases. However as much as I enjoy all Dimmu Borgir albums, since Cradles drummer joined the fray, Death Cult Armagheddon is brutal in it's machanical force and relentlessness, and surely Dimmu's best opus to-date.
Get thee to a record store and purchase Meshuggah's Chaosphere. You will be in therapy for a month. No more needs to be said.
I think Deliverance and Damnation are excellent albums. Different to Blackwater Park, but equally as good. It is interesting to note that with Deliverance amongst others, Opeth did not rehearse before recording the album. Pretty impressive result if you ask me.
Katatonia are one band who have changed a lot, but I don't think in a bad way. Another band that probably haven't changed much, though, are Cannibal Corpse.
I don't think it's good to demand that bands keep exactly the same style, or else we won't listen to them anymore. It's too rigid, and it can become boring. You and I evolve in most things we do, why is it unreasonable to think that the bands we like and seem to identify with, can and should evolve also.

As long as they don't suck at their new style! It's always bad when a band that is really good at one thing, goes and tries to do something else that another band does a billion or more times better.
I'll follow the recommendation on Meshuggah Once I have a bank balance again in a coupla days.
I must admit, my metal band knowledge has decreased ever since triple j's metal session got that new guy (andrew?). I used to like Lewi on 93.7's powersurge (in SA) but that seems to have gone a bit odd lately too.

Pantera had 4 albums before Cowboys From Hell - and those first few are quite different from their later stuff. Pantera have changed quite a bit over the years!

ok my input:
meshuggah arent really to my liking, why everyone else likes them.
tool are great, i like their lateralus as much as aenema, top stuff.
IN FLAMES!!! i only got ONE of their albums - clayman and it fukin rocks.
metallica went to shit after justice. sure balck is alright but not real metallica.
pantera are pretty good, also worth checking out DOWN if you like their style.
cannibal corpse have great music but the singing truns me off.
not the same style but i have to take any opertunity to mention the butterfly effect. best band in OZ hands down.
other mentionable bands maybe to 'commercial' for some: disturbed, fear factory, spineshank, drowning pool, out, machine head etc...

Ok guys lets sort this out. just because out of the twelve or so albums metallica has released some of them werent up to your standard doesnt mean that they suck. i'm a big metallica fan myself and i'll agree most of the stuff they released after black wasnt as good as the stuff before it but they still absolutely kick ass. i'm also a fan of punk music which was slightly intergrated into a lot of songs off st anger. that and their return to a much faster style of music in my opinion made st anger the best album they have released out of about their last 5 or 6. oh and they absolutely kicked ass at their concert in january.
and dont pay out tool or maynard will rip your nutsack off

Lefay must be the most unheard of band on the planet!
tempest - you think you have mellowed - I've been listening to classic fm the most lately...
mynameisorodney - Maynard isn't all bad, and I really like Tool depending on the day of the week - my ex-gf got to go backstage at the perfect circle gig in adelaide a while back - didn't exactly have anything exciting to say though except that twiggy is a man-slut
I think I reserve the right to evaluate people as they are today rather than reminisce about some ancient bygone era when they might have actually done some decent work...Metallica should at least change their name I mean sueing over a perfume is just lame?
Some other mentionable Aussie bands - Alchemist (very hit and miss though), Chalice (very mellow) and the best-band-to-never-make-it award goes to Decayed Divinity...what happened to that lot?

opeth - I quite liked deliverance & damnation - damnation was a good exploration of their more melodic, acoustic side - which was good for them and the fans. I always loved the way they could go from something like "the drapery falls" to "harvest" - truly talented.
Metallica - they have sucked for a long time - incidentally, about the time when they started their whole "napster sucks" thing .. publicity stunt? never!
I'm looking at my dream theater cds at the moment.... first one sucked, next 5 were phenomenal, 6th one was slightly less but still GREAT, 7th one was a little sub par (for them) - trying to crack it into mainstream, and it's just not their thing.
Pain of Salvation's 5th album comes out soon (live one doesn't count, but it was great), so that should be a good test.
Guns n' roses (while not metal) also only made 4 good albums.

SevenDust (My alltime fav band) have four albums and they have definitely progressed and evolved but not in the way other bands seem to go. I swear you could mix songs from any album and it it would still flow right. They aren't the same metal as any abovementioned bands but fuck can they rock it like anything. The concert kicked some serious arse (maybe partially due to Sunk Loto).
I can say I have never heard anything that reminded me of SevenDust or anything that they have reminded of so, hell yeah, if you can grab any of their shit give it a listen. (What a fucken plug!!)
Anyway this is a sweet topic and I am gunna have to get my ears around Lefay, eh.
Oh yeah St. Anger I can't stand that album...

That's exactly my problem - when bands do something they are crap at 
I really liked Opeth's earlier acoustic efforts, Benighted for example and some of their more flamenco style classical guitar riffs that they chucked in places on MAYH etc etc...Mikael Okerfeldt's love for 70's acid rock mellow stuff really showed up on Damnation.
I was never stupid enough to buy St Anger (I gave up after Metallica Inc.) but if I did I'd burn myself for being so gullible
Who wants to put money on Pain of Salvations' 5th album being some kind of 'new direction' or whatever hehehe.

hehehe, it has to be one of the most polarising albums I've ever listened to. Either ppl love it, or they hate it. Trawling through all the reviews on Amazon showed that it either got 1 star or 5 stars with very few votes in-between.
Ppl that hate it use it to justify why they think Post-Justice Metallica is still crap and will never be the great band they once were while the ppl that love it use it to justify why they think they've successfully re-invented themselves again...
Personally, I love it! Of all their albums, St. Anger and Garage Inc. are the two that get the highest rotation in my player. The Jan concert was just awesome!
Others that I find worthy of mention
Sevendust
Godsmack
System Of a Down
I've also tried Killswitch Engage but can't get past the screech

Dan

killwitch engage played an awesome set backing up anthrax at the metyro not that long ago - really raised my opinion of them (and os soilwork as well, who played even better)
Pain of Salvation's next album will be great methinks
2 main reasons why St Anger sucks:
1) that bloody snare drum makes me want to go out and blow up drum factories - wins the award of worst sounding snare ever. I can never get past that hideous sound in the title track.
2) complete lack of anyhting resembling an inspiration/creative solo.

Lars Ulrich is probably the most extremely over-rated drummer in the entire history of music stretching all the way back to cavemen beating rocks together.
The guy is seriously out of time
It always takes me like 20 x listening to a new metallica track before I can figure out what the hell is going on with all the timing...it's truly disgusting.
There is like no solo efforts at all on St Anger is there? I haven't listened to the whole thing, but ever since Kirk got his bloody waa pedal he's fallen into some kind of creative rut.
As for the music on St Anger - it's just plain boring, it's repetitive and I just can't get into it. Like I said, they are trying to do some kind of wierd-ass new-age metal style thing that they just aren't any good at. And Hetfield's vocals are getting worse with age.
I really don't have anything nice to say about Metallica these days!!!
Godsmack/Sevendust/Deftones are too new age for me methinks but they aren't so bad.

Im not a metal person... but i have to agree that metalica are a bunch of fags.
Inflames are cool, and i really like watching this live Megadeth conert my brother has on dvd, tis fucking awesome.
I was gonna go see opeth last year but then had to work so i missed out. Then i find out my mates ended up meeting them at some pub and had drinks with them... shame they cant speak engish for shit hahah
Personally, i love listening to Smashing pumpkins... nothing after Mellon Collie though cause it went kinda... odd.

oh yeah cant beleive i forgot system of a down!been into those guys since way back.sux that they got a bit of mainstream airplay though,just made way for all the bandwagon jumpers and thats one thing i really fucken hate.It confuses me when that happens as i love that a band im into finally gets some recognition for the hard work they've put in,but then you get the crowd who jumps on the bandwagon just coz its the latest craze or cool thing on the radio,and then there is the old argument about a band selling out(dont get me started on that) and dont get me wrong,im all for new fans to bands that have been around for a while(hell, i've been one on many occasions)just as long as their doing it for the right reasons eg.love of music. are deicide still kicking around?one of their albums i liked,'once upon the cross' i think.
music is my love and my life.

and back to metallica, i dont know how anyone can say anything after black is good. sure you can compare it to the other stuff you hear on the radio and say its good, but compared to pre-black it stinks. the music aint good and the vocals are PATHETIC! i know he says its cause his vocal chords are stuffed but he should stop trying if thats the case, he belongs in some country/western band.
i felt sorry for jason. did anyone see when they programmed rage?
jason was playing sepultura, tool etc... james and lars were picking back street boys or some shit. slight exageration but you get the drift.

I'd like to say now that Lefay absolutely rock and even if they were as popular as eminem as long as they still played as well as they do know then I wouldn't care

He's schooled in more than just jazz, I think he's dtudied percussion since he was a tiny little lad?
The bassist speaks the worst english, the rest of them are alright. I thought that in sweden they are encouraged to learn english at school and stuff?

Fleetwood Mac were okay, but they aren't my fav old(er) band.
I always thought the Eagles were good, can't say I've listened to any of their stuff lately though.
Back to topic of sweet scandinavian bands.
There's definitely quite a few! Lefay, Arcturus (first coupla albums), Opeth, Dark Tranquillity (upto Projector), Lefay, At The Gates, Gandalf (yeah, really), In Flames, Lefay. Then there's the ones that I don't rate which get alot of attention anyway - Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth (? scandinavian) etc

The northern europeans gave metal a swift kick up the rear in the early 80's, the result was arguably the first 'Black Metal'.
Sweden gave us Bathory in '83. Germany: Sodom in '83. Switzerland; Hellhammer / Celtic Frost in '84.
In the early 90's the "scene" was blown wide open by the media; reporting a blitzkrieg attack of church arson, antichristian propaganda and murder. The norwegians took the limelight with the highest bodycount, and infamy followed. As did a whole bunch of teenagers and social misfits with a penchant for black nail varnish.  Hence the influx of scandinavian bands into the global market.
FWD boy, Have you heard Ulver? (Garm from Arcturus) Some of it is well worth a listen.

Morgana Lefay is like a arthurian witch if you want to know where the name came from Not to be confused with Levay - which is some weiner...
Haven't heard Ulver - been lazy with my music appreciation these days, I'm trying to get through a list of bands I need to check out so I can cross them off
Drift-Tech -> Yeah i've got that album. Amorphis are one of those bands that have progressed a huge amount, they are totally different to what they started out like. I dunno if I like all their new stuff, but I haven't listened to it much...last album I got into what Tuonela.
I dunno what to compare Lefay to - anyone got any ideas. They are just a sorta power/heavy metal kind of band.

"Amorphis are one of those bands that have progressed a huge amount"
Ditto for Ulver. I liked Amorphis' Thousand Lakes (even with some of the questionable axl rose type vocals ) but I never heard any of their later stuff.
Ulver have put out several radically different releases. Now they have gone all techno cyber or some shit.. Garm calls himself Trickster G these days. If you do check em out, the earlier stuff is great. 'Kveldsanger' is a really nice acoustic & soft vocals album. Hehe, even my mum likes it. 'Bergtatt' is more metal + acoustics, and 'Nattens Madrigal' is very metal. Beware the high end production, that treble cuts right to the bone
ach, I could go on and on.
end waffle
