[The One and Only...]

Downthesun: nu-metal done well. Despite the fact that clown from Slipknot produced their only album, it comes off very well. Listen to it.

Devin Townsend/Strapping Young Lad: I don't think I need say anything. If you haven't heard them, listen to both.

Exhumed: One of the great bands of crusty, grindy death metal. Awesome music. They should be one of the great influential bands.

Dark Funeral: Okay - they do sound like normal BM. But that's the beauty of the band: they play old-school, fast BM extraordinarily well. In a day and age where "original" BM bands are commonplace, Dark Funeral really stands out.
