Best Modern Heavy Metal Band?

[WestOfSeven]

Wow just listened to that Thy art is murder link.

Now I'm off to buy all they're cds that was f***ing epic.

 

[Cyntex]

Wretched, Beyond Creation and The Black Dahlia Murder

If modern is post-2000, then definitely Suicide Silence, Whitechapel and Chelsea Grin.

Their early releases are masterpieces in the genre. Although their more recent ones are either decent or just meh, I still listen to the early releases almost daily.

Ugh...

 

[MontaraMike]

Ugh...

nothing ugh about those bands IMO

I really like Whitechapel and SS's most recent efforts. Whitechapel is pretty good across all their albums but SS(aside from The Black Crown) and CG are both pretty abysmal otherwise.

I mean I don't think any Deathcore band could possibly be the best modern metal band. I say listen to Death Metal instead. For instance the new Gorguts album is better than anything any of those 3 bands could ever do.

My real vote for the best modern metal band would have to be Opeth in all reality.

Did this entire thread just miss Evile?

I love Deathcore, but this subject is subjective.

I agree, however...

No nevermind, I'm just gonna end up looking like a jackass.

LOL! go for it! Looking like a jackass is what I do best, would be cool to see someone else do it for once. HAHAHAHA!

 

[Chuck]

Nah I'll save my keystrokes for another time.



Feast on some Opeth, friends.

 

[Dr Perkinstien]

Opeth!!!!



I second Beyond Creation they are SICK!

 

[vilk]

Meshuggah. Duh.

 

[Hyacinth]

I'm gonna go ahead and say Between The Buried and Me.

 

[New Age Moron]

Of the modern bands - bands to have emerged in the last 5 years - Periphery are #1 for me.

 

[TheDeathOfMusic]

Not sure if they're still considered metal, but TesseracT.

 

[Hallski]

Nothing from a metal standpoint has REALLY impressed me lately, but then I finally got into Gojira, and they're probably my favorite metal band right now, probably will be for a while.

 

[rifftrauma]

+ 1 for Sylosis

 

[SkullCrusher]

Soilwork!

 

[Splenetic]

Now that they're back, in full force, with a ....ing instant classic that just tramples all over everything in near sight, the answer is pretty damn easy.....


CARCASS.

Edit: I know some may consider them more of a classic band...but considering how many (good and bad) modern bands are not just majorly influenced by them, but at times downright rip them off riff by riff... I don't really feel the need to defend my choice beyond this little blurb.

 

[teamSKDM]

Just about most bands on Sumerian records. MOST.
