Just gonna throw this out there...
2 songs that have come on the radio recently that are certainly a little mainstream, but to me seem to have the energy and anger of the death metal that I like.
Metallica - For whom the Bell Tolls
Think back past all of the *****ey *****ey crap that these morons have cranked out since the black album. This song is a thing of beauty.
Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the name
The anger and energy are balanced nicely with heavy but funky guitars and strong beats. I can't help but dig it.
I am definitely anti top 40 BTW, these songs have poved their worth in my book.
Well, technically it's thrash metal and metallica did pretty much pioneer the sub-genre along with a few other bands. But yeah, anything prior to justice for all is pretty much essential.
As far as rage goes, not really my thing but I can appreciate it.. I will say that I do not consider it to be metal though, more hard rock if you ask me. I did hear recently that they were back together and working on a new record btw.
