you guys listen to the shittiest fucking metal. HIM???? fuck that shit
Meshuggah, Mogwai, ISIS (my cousin's band that opened for Tool), Tool, Mastodon. You want some shit to thrash to listen to Dillinger Escape Plan or the Blood Brothers, or Mclusky.
As for the US losing metal, I agree to a certain point. I think Mastodon is fucking sweet. Outside of the U.S. Mogwai is fucking crazy Scottish metal that my cousin toured with on their european tour.
