There's already a catergory similar to that. It's called Nu-Metal. There is only a certain amount of dreadlocks, piercings and heavily down-tuned fingerchords you can see and hear before knocking out the next kid who thinks they are 'fully sick and totally hardcore' because they listen to Slipknot, Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park.

Back to death/black metal.

A few to stay away from:

Cannibal Corpse - A mediocre death metal band, best known as the metal band in Ace Ventura. I got a double album CD and the only noticable change between songs were the different production quality of the seperate albums.


Anal C*nt - A ridiculous band that makes me shudder when ever I hear them. Just plain sh*t.

Six Feet Under - Boring and unoriginal.


Give these a listen:

Blood Duster - (perhaps best described as porn groove death metal) Funny, great to jam to and sutprisingly catchy.

Dark Tranquilty

Opeth - Simply brilliant

The Berzerker - Extremely fast. Sounds like it could give people seizures. The only metal band to have incorperated a cowbell well (in the song Massacre). Probably not for everyone.
