i was disapointed with the new slipknot album, but it's been growing on me a lot. fishkiller, you should check out black label society, it's zack wylde from ozzy. you can't go wrong with slayer, and i've been listening to down a bit lately, phil's other side project next to superjoint. hatebreed is one of my fav's, they opened for slayer on the jager tour last year, saw them when they came through and they were awesome. the new pantera, without phil anselmo, (damageplan) is ok, but it's just not the same. fear factory's new one is pretty wicked too.
