Incredibly bad is a bit harsh, they're very listenable but that's about as far as my compliments go.
Something like this is more along the lines of incredibly bad.

Love Coroner. I feel they are one of those bands that's severely underrated, yet one of the most respected bands. I'm more interested on the whole Celtic Frost/Tom G Warrior aspect leading up to the formation of Coroner in the documentary.
First 3 albums are pretty nuts, didn't care that much for the rest except for that first song off Mental Vortex.
one of their songs off the Death Cult demo is pretty nuts: Arrogance In Uniform.
Holy hell, that is some next-level shit right there.
Signed to Victory records, too? What the fuck happened to that label?!

I listen to them less and less these days as I discover more bands, but they're solid. Plus, the show adds some charm.
Yes, Dethklok sucks.
That song is really good, the version of Death Cult I have here only has 4 songs in it :\
Dethklok is fun metal....I wouldn't expect FACE to like that at all 
On a serious note, they're not a great band but they do write fun songs and the show has a bit of charm to it that is appealing to me. They were awesome live that one time I saw them with Mastodon...of course, they did have Gene Fucking Hoglan on drums.

I think quite a few people here love Demolition Hammer. Those guys rule.
And I agree with Face that Dethklok sucks. Great musicians, but just not my sort of cheese.
Loving it so far. Didn't like the direction it was going on Conqueror and after. This seems to fit somewhere between Lifeline and Conqueror.
You know I just like to troll you

So, Ted Kirkpatrick (Tourniquet) has started a kickstarter of a side-project called the Tourniquet Ark. I guess it has to kinda do with Ted's animal welfare work? Not exactly sure what differentiates it from Tourniquet proper, other than it not really involving the rest of the band.
Anyways, the project will most just be Ted doing all the work, but this who's signed up to provide guest work. This could be an interesting side-project.
Chris Poland (OHM, ex-Megadeth, ex-Damn the Machine) - guitar solo or two
Bruce Franklin (Trouble, Supershine) - guitar solo
Michael Sweet (Stryper, ex-Boston) - guitar solo, vocal solo
Ed Asner (actor known of roles like Carl Fredricksen in Pixar's Up) - Narration

I think they are awesome. Perfect blend of stuff I like.
Murmaider is one of the best metal songs..pretty much ever.

the new trend are old bands doing reunion shows, which leads to reunion albums, which leads to reunion shows playing full albums front to back, then waiting for the next "Djent" or some shit.

Also, here's another question regarding Metal. Who the hell are Cradle of Filth and Dimmur Borgir? I know that a lot of people dislike them, but why?
For the record, I've heard of them but never bothered to check out their music.

They always gave them shit for not being Troo Black Metal bands and what not, although they looked the part.
It's just melodic death metal to me, and I think it's pretty darn great.
So Metallica has re-recorded Orion for the Through The Never soundtrack.

I kinda like it but man, Lars drumming is fucking everywhere.

Not bad, but it should really start with the bass, not drumming(I know, I'm picky). Also the opening bass didn't sound that consistent.
Its also good to hear that they can still master stuff properly.
Fake edit: Is this re-recorder or the live version? I think it's the live version.
hmmm. well ain't that something.
I have to give it to Metallica. They are one of the few bands who don't whore out their catalog with a billion remixes/updates.

This is what I love about their discography. Its nice and clean. Unlike Megadeth's.
Lol. I was about to mention that.
I don't know how many versions I have of Peace Sells.
I will. Hope this movie does well for them.
Hmmm. Might be an ok birthday present to myself to check this out.
Sirius XM started up a Mandatory Metallica channel to promote the movie, but sadly they're just playing the studio stuff. Metallica has a live recording library that rivals that of the Grateful Dead and should be used as extensively on the channel. As it is now, it's just the studio catalogue on shuffle with some promos at pre-programmed intervals. While that's not bad, I would prefer live stuff mixed in.

I would hope they at least mix some stuff from S&M in that.

they're called black metal, are not. but they're still better than actual black metal and that pisses all the frostbitten, grimdark kvlt nerds.
I can dig some Cradle of Filth. Dimmur Borgir? Not so much....
Regarding Cradle of Filth, wikipedia describes them as:
A lot of fans hate them for this evolution, and because they're kinda more of a trendy band. If you see a goth kid at school, they're probably into Cradle of Filth....or at least got one of their shirts from hot topic. It's still decent metal though, trendy or not.

Back in high school when I was heavy into Metallica, live bootlegs were about all I listened to.
Trendy ? I guess. I don't know a single person who listens to them but me and like two Friends of mine.
Guess that's one of the funny things about metal. Getting all up on arms about trendy bands when the majority of people don't know who the fuck they are one way or another.
Anything overproduced doesn't bother me. I mean I listen to pop music. It's fine. I just have to like their songs in the end. There is room for everything.

I think what he means is that Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Borgir are the "mainstream" bands on the extreme spectrum of metal. They know they don't write music and market themselves to say the trve grim frostbitten fans. They are more accessible and the "baby steps" into the extreme side.
I personally can't stand them because its way overemphasized on being symphonic, overproduced, and a manufactured entity from their labels.
I guess. It's not like they are the Black Veil Brides or anything. But sure, I suppose it's not like say...Krisiun, Gorgoroth or something.
I might misunderstand, but are you insinuating that they are basically boy bands that were created by their respective labels with the purpose of selling as many records as possible?
Obviously not true. Maybe Black Metal was becoming trendy at the time, but the band has always done their own thing. They didn't even like to be labeled that. (I think they had a bitch of time getting their music right back form their original label, maybe they never did)
I know some people hate the look and everything but they are performers. I have no issue with them presenting a stage show along with their music. It's all part of rock n roll man.

Not 100% manufactured like a boy band, but they found their audience, they found a formula, their labels liked how much they were selling for them, both ends stuck with it.
It's all too familiar when thrash metal bands were changing to keep up with "Grunge" or the whole Columbia/Earache Records disaster to commercialize death metal because labels wanted to sell more.
I firmly believe this. There are stigmas behind every band/genre/styles.
Yup. Like Lady Gaga.
Anyhow Goth as trend doesn't even exist anymore does it?
I don't know who Cradle is selling music to these days, expect well.. their fans.
I still see it around every now and then. I'm in a small college town. We catch and hold on to every trend longer than we need to.

They were Roadrunner when they were in their more trendy phase....and we all know about Roadrunner and trendy.
LoL. Hell it was nice picking up those Sepultura albums off the shelf. Of course I guess we hate them too for influencing nu metal.
And Deicide. Fuck Deicide! Trendy Fucks. That was the beginning of the end really.
