Okay, so th3w01f's thread on 80's metal forced me to avoid derailing and create this... [Beer]
Those who listen to modern metal (try to limit it to the last 15 or so years) what are your favorite bands?
I know cfortune will like this:
Some of my favorites- besides Amon Amarth:
Slipknot/Stone Sour (same lead singer and guitarist), Trivium, Disturbed, A7X, Five Finger Death Punch, Atreyu.
Then I do love some Symphonic metal (say what you will, it sounds good):
Nightwish, Within Temptation, Epica.
There's probably more, but I can't think off the top of my head without cheating and looking into my iTunes
