    People, especially so-called metalheads, think it's cool to shit all over everything that's been released since 1989. In fact, there are a lot of bands since that era that kill.

    The nineties fostered the best death metal ever released. The first decade of this century have seen that movement significantly watered down, but there are still great bands in the genre and lots of young talent working hard and writing solid songs.

    More recently, bands like Katatonia, Isis, Pelican and Giant Squid have evolved remarkable, unique sounds--identifiable and fantastic from the first note. It's just known more within the metal community and less with the masses.

    Even tried and true metalheads spend so much time bad-mouthing metal, which pisses me off. It's like, if you hate metal so much, talk about something else. Go a metal message board and it reads like, "I'm too cool for anything since classic metal." Too old, too boring, too tired is more like it. I love seeing a fresh crop of young, long-haired kids in boots and black shirts. Who's this old group to tell them "metal sucks these days." It shit does.

    That said, I'm sorry to say that anything post 80s from Metallica actually does suck, which doesn't exactly strengthen my argument.

    Sorry for the rant. It's a bit of a sore spot.
