All of them?

I guess I just don't like Meshuggah then, or it needs to grow on me or something. I like their odd use of 4/4 timings to simulate the feel of odd time signatures, but I wish they'd get off the lower strings every now and then. Or, if they do, I just haven't found the right song to example this.

I found some Periphery songs that I dig, and Vildhjarta is pretty interesting too. I need to check out the others a bit more.

I wish I was going to MDF. It's pretty far away and there really aren't enough bands I like to justify me going though.

right on. the lineup this year isn't as great as in years past, but the hardcore shows this year are pretty sweet. INFEST.

Wait... what? Infest? You mean the Infest?

Oh man I would love to go to MDF. Benediction, Bolt Thrower, Carcass, Iniquity, Manilla Road, Melvins, Pentagram, Pig Destroyer, Repulsion, Sleep, Venom... Plenty of great stuff there. No way would I be able to make it though.

lineup for those not aware: http://www.marylanddeathfest.com/

I'm curious to hear what you metal heads have to say about this video:
Heado Bang! Heado Bang!.

I don't think I've seen any other band get metal so right and so wrong all at the same time.
