I love both, there is no denying the talents of bands like Pantera, Metallica, Megadeth, Chimeria etc etc. But unfortunutly American metal has a tendancy (in my opinion!!) to go a bit too melodic, which is fine, but I prefer my metal to be long, hard and heavy as ****...Having said that Usurper and Lamb of God are exeptions to that rule. I agree with Kempson, Children of Bodom are very talented, but listen to Decapitated, especially their early stuff. Their first album was done when they were in their teens, the drummer was like 12 or 13!

i know, i know, i'm a noob, but what does IMO mean?[/off topic]

In my opinion.

thank you very much

nooooooob. I just felt like spaming.:afro: afros are tight.

You Sir, do not posses the right to call me a n00b...understand you effin n00b

Metallica, Megadeath, Slayer, Pantera, Mastadon, and do we have Sep?

Edit: Zak Wylde

except for megadeth america has no metal, the finnish and swedes have taken over

children of bodom is very much melodic metal

I never said that Children of Bodom were anything different...I merley said that they were a talented band
