Ravenlord, to each his own. It's not my favorite sound, but I clearly don't hate it.
I am going to search my head (and youtube) for something great...probably thrash, for my next post.
What if this is as good as it gets?
Recent posts (and my crazy head) have made me ask myself "Why do I love metal?"
The answer is not simple: I could go into the psychology of youth and feeling connected to something larger, I could talk about screaming guitars and banging drums, I could talk about Ozzy and Maiden and Metallica and Slayer, I could talk about dark imagery and social taboo, I could talk about crazy concerts and mosh pits, I could talk about the sub-culture. Someday I may write about some or all of those things, but today I am going to simplify things and say my love for metal comes from two things Power and Passion.
There are many ways to exhibit this: the raw power and speed of thrash, the slow grinding power of early Sabbath and Type O, and symphonic power among many others.
So here is one example of the Power and Passion that helped me survive my wonder years.
Black Sabbath-Heaven and Hell

I wouldn't call them sellouts. If you know the history of the band you already know that their change from traditional metal to more prog/symphonic metal was a slow natural progression. If Criss hadn't gotten killed they probably would have continued on the Edge of Thorns sound instead of going straight up TSO style with Dead Winter Dead. He always struck me as the metal guy in the band.
Of course I'm biased toward the progressive side, as Streets is in my top 5 albums, ever, by anyone.

i love Tyr. i find Heri's ability to write history and folklore and politics makes for truly inspiring contemplation.
as a side note, that's actually Heri's ship in the video; last year at Wacken they were giving sailing and 10th century combat demos in the two days before their show.

Awesome Tyr song. So for the week of Christmas we have a drunken song of mourning and Hold the Heathen Hammer High...that's metal.

you know it. and tonight starts the first day of my second biggest holliday in the year which will feature a lot Eluveitie, Arkona, Tyr, and surprisingly to most people The Beatles/George Harrison.

that was the first Savatage song i ever heard. i think was 11 years old. probably good that it was something from Hall of the Mountain King. with my attitude towards music back then i probably wouldn't have listened to another note for years if something like "Gutter Ballet" or "St. Patrick's" or "Sleep" or "This Isn't What We Meant" was the first thing i had heard.

Anthrax and Exodus are going to be touring together in the spring. Anthrax will be playing Among the Living in it's entirety.
