So as you may or may not know, 11-11-11 was National Metal Day. Headbangers rejoiced and showed praise by blaring guitars and the like. National Metal Day was also the day of many surprises, such as Black Sabbath reuniting with a new album and tour that will start next year. Guns and Roses also took their time to visit the guys in That Metal Show for a wonderful performance.
I didn't start liking metal until my grandfather starting exposing me to it. I was mostly shown Metallica, Slayer, etc. until I learned about Godsmack from my uncle and Pantera from hours of looking on Youtube. For this, I shall explain the TYPE of metal I enjoy. I believe that metal doesnt necessarily need a gutty voice, blaring guitar, and cymbals crashing left and right. Melodic metal, and basically any kind of metal that doesn't have vocals similar to a crappy emo song, is the metal for me. Remember: I was exposed to mainly grunge my whole life, so hardcore metal ain't my flow.
Here is some great metal songs I have prepared for you today!
Just in case you cannot see a thumbnail (uploading from Posterous), it is Godsmacks eerie and exotic Voodoo. One of the first songs that got me loving them, it has the real Satanic ritual-esque rhythm (not to mention Sully Erna is a certified Witch.
Five Finger Death Punch. One of my new favorite bands. This is from their newest album, and I absolutely LOVE it. They have a lot of great songs you should check out, and they have tons of potential. Not to mention the video: booze, hot chicks, and headbanging.
Pantera is one of the best bands I have ever heard, and this song proves it. One of their well known songs, I know, but who gives a crap (thats the inner metalhead in me speaking)
and Finally,
My favorite Metallica song. No metal list isn't complete with these guys. Metallica is so down to earth, and humble guys, earning them fans of all ages, races, and genders.
So hope you enjoyed this list guys! rock on <3
