Taking into account I don't like straight yelling/growling vocals, but a bit is ok as long as there is some decent vocals in there too! Thanks for your predicted help?
audioslave: pretty good, but kind of a watered down version of RATM (which im sure youve heard, if somehow you havent theyre the greatest band of all time!), def worth a listen though. fave songs: show me how to live, like a stone.
coal chamber: crap
COC: pretty good hard rock/metal, havent heard any of their albums but saw them live when they supported pantera and they kicked ass.
disturbed: personally havent got round to listening to any of their stuff, but they are very popular, big following.
henry rollins band: meh, decent but listen to some Black Flag for some REAL Henry Rollins.
Janes Addiction: kinda an odd choice in there, def not heavy or metal but excellent guitar work by Dave Navarro, kind like the chili peppers but different. i dig them. fave songs: been caught stealing, jane says.
Kyuss: pretty cool almost psychadelic metal, worth a listen, they have a very unique sound. the lead singer from queens of the stone age was in the band.
Machine head: great metal band, growly vocals but just straight up aggressive metal, great to bang your head to, awesome guitar work. fave songs: Old, Davidian.
Mark of Cain: cool old school hard rock band from adelaide, my first ever gig i went to had them on the bill. cant remember what they sounded like, but me and my mates used to like them a lot. i think one good song was called Sunday Arfternoon Barbeques or something.
monster magnet: very average hard rock, not crap, not great.
Motorhead: very old school metal, pioneers and legends of the scene. lemmy and the boys were around before black sabbath i think, kinda good for nostalgias sake, but dont expect awesomeness. fave song: ace of spades.
Mudvayne: havent listened to much but what i heard didnt do it for me, they are pretty popular though, a lot of fans.
sevendust: i used to LOVE these guys. i listened to Home and Animosity every day for months. the album after animosity sucked so much ass though. lajon has a brilliant voice, very emotive. fave songs: almost every song on Home or Animosity.
Slayer:what can i say, i dont like them at all. they are/were HUGE and have a massive following but for me their songs have no melody at all, its just speed and dissonant riffs/solos that sound creepy. technically brilliant guitar but boring for me. they have one brilliant song for mine and thats "seasons in the abyss".
Soulfly: very cool, has the lead singer from Sepultura (also def worth checking out). pretty much just flat out heavy riffs, no solos. i like some of their stuff, other parts are average.
Slipknot: i dont like them, average music by average musicians dressed up in scary costumes...oooooooh :shock:
Killswitch engage: defintely have a listen, growly vocals mixed with really melodic vocals, musically their awesome, some of the coolest heaviest riffs youll ever hear.
