I really get a headache trying to figure out all the differences between Black/Speed/Death/yadda yadda yadda Metal. Anyone care to differentiate this for me is greatly appreciated. :)
This Site Might Help You. RE: Alternative Metal bands? I'm looking for a new Alternative Metal/Hard Rock band. Some of the bands I like: Breaking Benjamin Flyleaf Linkin Park 30 Seconds To Mars Crossfade Dark New Day Seether Creed Halestorm The Letter Black Papa Roach Paramore Sleeping With Sirens Three Days Grace NickelBack Red
Nine Inch Nails Tool Godsmack Mudvayne
Avenged Sevenfold (who are now more classic metal-ish) Black Veil Brides (who end up sounding like the last album avenged made every time they put something out) Asking Alexandria Bullet for My Valentine If you're looking at who will be this generation's equivalent of the big four, it's probably these guys. But given the bands you listed, these guys are about more similar. Shinedown Burn Halo Pop Evil Young Guns Hinder Sixx A.M. Skillet But definitely branch out and listen to some older stuff too, especially 80's and 70's rock, as that is who has influenced these bands.
KoRn Evanescence (their older music is better) HIM Oh, since you already know these I have some others. Bauhaus The Cure and Siouxsie and the Banshees (these are more punk rock though) Nine Inch Nails Nirvana No Doubt
Alternative Metal Bands: Device (also Industrial metal) Disturbed (earlier albums more nu-metal) EarlyRise (Paramore meets Evanescence) The Material (Paramore clone) RED (Christian band with strings) Sacrifice to Survive (female-fronted with Progressive Metal) System of a Down (influences of avant-garde and nu-metal) Tool (also Progressive Metal with influences of math rock)
