I think the only two early 80 metal bands I still like is Metallica, and of course Slayer. Speaking of Slayer, I just got their dvd, 'War at the Warfield', it's amazing. I saw them live also last month, along with Arch Enemy.
I love Arch Enemy, I just got the new album 'Anthems Of Rebellion', not as great as the others, but it does have a few key tracks on it. I believe 'Burning Bridges' is their best.
A lot of bands from the US suck, all the good bands come outta Europe and shit. But there are some exceptions, Killswitch Engage, Chimaira, and I think Lamb Of God is from the US and the singer is just from some other country, but I'm not positive.
Anyone hear of 'Berzerker'? They're from Australia, Industrial Death Metal is their game.
