The Heavy Metal Trend

Isit just me or are so many heavy metal bands now going towards the direction of become more melodic and leaving their roots of screaming to sing.. take Avenged Sevenfold and Killswitch Engage for example.. whats going on???

Anyone else realised this??

i can accept the fact of avenged but with killswitch they had a new singer an now with howard they sing an scream which to me is a damm good mix but one band tht i dont like as much now is aiden they have lost their fire i think with this new album dont get me wrong i think its a good album but its no way as near as awesome as the rest

Ahh yeah thats a good point about Howard Jones..

And aiden yes!! very good example, the album feels soo different but yeh its still okay, just, not their best.

Yes very good example there too.. I mean, Liberation Transmission is a good album but compared to Start Something it sucks royal ass lol

I also think MCR changed big time to after releasing The Black Parade. Althought it was a concept album, it didn't feel like them at all.

i love howard Jones's voice, he has such a good mix of singing and screaming. i love the singing and screaming in Alexisonfire as well, love them, i think they have the mix nailed pretty well, Dallas Green has such an amazing voice

and i also loved Lostprophets old stuff, the heavier stuff, i dint rate the new album that highly tbh

i think that if alexis didnt have george they would be like my favourite band

Yeh... its a real shame too because i've only started to get into AlexisOnFire and listening to their older stuff, i prefer it but, what can you do!!

at reading 2007 lostprophets played a new song (youtube it) its unnamed but they said it will be returning to its heavy roots. it was a KICKASS song trust me Ian =] new album will rock
