Here's mine...

I'm a huge fan of The Metal but I think I'll start with some of my legendary, less angry, favorites.

Probably my favorite band of all time across all genres is Primus. I've seen them live twice, and I've seen Les Claypool live in his solo act once.

It all started with "Jerry was a Race car driver"

For those who don't know Les, fun fact: he once audition for Metallica and they denied him based solely on the fact that he is far too damn good for them.

I've seen tons of bands live (Slayer, Megadeth, Sepultura, Napalm Death, Cannibal Corpse, Korn, System of a Down, Pantera, Slipknot, Lamb of God - to name a few). But Primus is the band that showed me first hand the largest mosh pit I've ever seen, and it was to this mighty cute song:

A few thousand people went ape shit at the 1:37 mark.

I hold in high regard just about everything Claypool releases; if I had to pick a favorite song it is simply, Here Come The Bastards

EDIT: I just read up on Suicide Silence front man, tragic way to go. I had a cousin who died from a motorbike accident, he was 18.

Sorry to hear buddy. I have a couple of relatives from extended family that had a similar fate. One was a car, the other a motorcycle.

This song from Parasitic Inc. is badass! Never heard it before, but I love it.

That takes me back to classic Death, and the legendary Chuck Schuldiner. Another RIP musician, who I did get to see live once as well.

I remember spending weeks trying to figure out the riffs for Vacant Planets as a youngen:

Another thing I liked about Parasitic Inc. is the use of harmonic "death" vocals. Which of course, few do as morbid and twisted as Deicide:

That's about as evil as it gets lmao. That multi-voiced Chorus at 2:00 is epic.

I could never really get down with metal due to the abrasive lyrics, but the music is alright. Though the stuff that is more melodic or a mix of electronica is better for me. Here is some stuff I've gotten into recently.

You boys ever met a real country girl?
Talkin, true blue, out in the woods, down home, country

She's a hot little number in her pick-up truck
Daddy's sweet money done jacked it up
She's a party-all-nighter from South Carolina, a bad mamajama from down in Alabama
She's a ragin cajun, a lunatic from Brunswick, juicy Georgia peach
With a thick southern drawl, sexy swingin walk, brother she's all

Country, (shoot) from her cowboy boots to her down home roots
She's country, from the songs she plays to the prayers she prays,
That's the way she was born and raised, she ain't afraid to stay, country
Brother she's country

A hell raisin sugar when the sun goes down, mama taught her how to rip up a town
Honey dripping honey from the holler in Kentucky, getcha flippin kinda trippie like a Mississippi hippie,
She's a Kansas princess, crazy mother trucker, undercover lover
Thick southern drawl, sexy swingin walk,
Brother she's all

Country (shoot) from her cowboy boots to her down home roots
She's country, from the songs she plays to the prayers she prays,
That's the way she was born and raised, she ain't afraid to stay, country
Nothin but country

(Thick southern drawl)
(Sexy swingin walk)
(Aw show 'em how a country girl does it one time now)

Brother she's country, from her cowboy boots to her down home roots
Nothin but country
Yea yea yeaaa
She's country (shoot) from her cowboy boots to her down home roots
She's country, from the songs she plays to the prayers she prays,
That's the way she was born and raised she ain't afraid to stay, country
Yea she's nothing but country

She's all about the country
From the backwoods she's a homegrown, down to the bone, she's country

Any Faith No More fans here?

I love the hell outta them. And after many long years they finally released a new album:

I first heard them in 1989 and would listen to their "The Real Thing" album repeatedly while playing the very first Final Fantasy game on the NES:

I think Mike Patton may be my favorite male vocalist in my lifetime. His creative range as a musician and singer is practically supernatural, and unrivaled. Plus he's a madman:
