Dammit! I'm not talking about this new "mall-metal" (also know as rap-rock, nu-metal, and utter sh*t). That stuff isn't metal at all in my opinion. And I'm not just talking about "80's metal" either. There are TONS of current metal bands making superb music today, that is REAL metal, but you won't find them on the radio and in the public eye. Some examples: Iced Earth, Nevermore, Testament, Blind Guardian, Stratovarious, Flotsam and Jetsam, Noctornal Rites, Demons and Wizards, Kreator, Edguy, Sentenced, etc, etc.
The list could go on for days. Here are some sites where you can find real metal:
