Opeth is really good, a more mellow metal. I heard them called "Acoustic Death Metal", I think they're icelandic... I can't get into the really hard thrash, it's too much for me. All the instruments blend into one sounds, I don't like it.

I'm glad to see you metal heads having to fight off screamo like us punk listeners had to fight off the emo wave a few years ago. People would come up to me like "hey, did you hear that new punk band? New Found Glory? They're awesome!" I wanted to strangle them with a headphone cable. If it has a piano in it, IT AINT PUNK. Now metal has the same problem...lol. enjoy fellas!
