Metal

Based on Gojira's excellent performance during the Olympics, which band from your country would you like to perform at the Olympics in your country?

Full Album: Guardian of the Universe (Bandcamp / Spotify)

Tasty riffing, tasty vocals, TASTY guitar solo!

One of the most transcendent vocal passages I know of. Just as affective hearing it the hundredth time as it was the first.

Basically Title.

Been to Wacken recently and a friend and I were discussing what could be seen as the biggest name in metal currently.
Since we're "old", we could only come up with yesteryears titans.

Are there any more recent names that currently dominate the industry? Get played on day to day radio like our childhood bands did?

How have I not listened to this band till now?!

I think Ron Jarzombek might be a cyborg, but I can't prove it.

Edit: Sorry for the bum link. The original video is super cool, but Dailymotion apparently sucks. I'll try to see if I can get a work around and show it in the comments.

This album stands toe to toe with any of the most classic death metal albums you can name.

Das Basssolo bei 1:22!

New release from Serj Tankian (Former singer of System of a Down). Very similar style to his previous solo albums.

A one man black metal project from Slovakia.

I don't recall having seen this pop up in this community. Give a rundown of your favorite albums. Top slot, top 3, top 5, 10... whatever's easiest to you since I know it can be tough to narrow things down to a specific degree.

It'll be interesting to see where everyone is coming from in this regard. Could create for a good opportunity to discuss albums, find people with similar tastes, argue that a different album from someone's catalog is better, etc.

I'll throw mine down in a separate comment once I get it figured out.

What the title said.

My favorite song by these guys. It's not their heaviest/most technically interesting/most classic/etc., but it hooks me so hard.

Raw gorgeous nastiness.
