Most original metal band?

[median]

Who is the most original metal band out right now (besides Meshuggah!)? Who is doing ground breaking stuff?

Bullet for my Valentine:



lol jk.

I was listening to Psyopus the other day and was throughly impressed by their approach, but I guess they aren't very active right now. I haven't really come across modern bands doing anything really revolutionary...

 

[Sofos]

I know I will get alot of hate for this, but Cradle of Filth. Tell me of another band that sounded like them before them, or since?

 

[wakjob]

Black Sabbath... maybe KISS.

 

[blaaargh]

Viljdthallta (is that how u spell it? I don't know Swedish lol) is by far the most original band of any genre, ever. I mean, juxtaposing those brilliant atmospheric clean parts with crushing 8th-string brutality? Who could have come up with that besides them? They are also very inventive as far as tonality goes. The way they play outside the box instead of sticking to boring old scales is just mindblowing, and afaik, no one has ever even come close to the sometimes bizarre, but always fitting note choices. Even their tones are fresh, standing out from all the stale, lifeless digital amp sims. And that THALL marketing tactic? Pure genius.

Meshuggah

Hmmm not sure if serious or not Thanks for the laugh either way though EDIT - (I love Vildhjarta but they're hardly original)

Sylosis, Gojira are my picks....

Yeah who could have thought of that? Oh wait, could it be the scores of other shitty bands that sound exactly the same?

This is clearly a joke.

 

[7 Strings of Hate]

Black sabbath?

 

[abandonist]

This is an extremely subjective thing, and narrowing it to "metal" is somewhat self-defeating. Perhaps "heavy" would be a better question. But, to answer the original:

Pyramids.

In the world of "heavy"? Sigur Ros.

 

[groovemasta]

I didn't want to assume anything ahah.

[devolutionary]

Mastodon and Gojira are the ones that came to mind first.
