I'm not close minded, KSE is just so much better than the rest. All of killswitch engage's songs are better than almost any other bands best song. I listen to melo-death too, and a whole bunch of core bands....so what. I listen to some rap sometimes as well, so i don't JUST listen to core.

I'd rather not blast cannibal corpse and Deicide out of my speakers because it sounds like it was recorded in a cave and the vocals are horrid. I am not a fan of satan either, so there is no way i am listening to much death metal. It seems like so many respected metal bands these days are atheist satan worshipping weirdo's. I'm a normal person, i dress normal, i look normal, i don't give a **** about the real metal scene. I'll listen to my generic Killswitch engage while all the REAL metalheads headbang to satanic, and poorly recorded music.

Killswitch isn't cool why... because it is generic? That's a pretty stupid reason to say they aren't cool. I think they created their own sound, but whatever.

But Death Metal isn't about Satan. It's Black Metal that's about Satan.

What.

That's actually a pretty reasonable conclusion to come to. Why choose to like one generic metal band over thousands of others?

This is the funniest thing I've ever read. You're right, KSE is an amazing band and all their songs are better than almost any other bands best songs. I'm totally into mellow-death as well, and I don't think anyone can dispute the fact that being into "core" bands and rap music makes you a very well-rounded individual.

NOT.

I'm not a big fan of Deicide or Cannibal Corpse but the majority of good "real" metal isn't poorly recorded and doesn't have "horrid" vocals. They also for the most part are not satanic, especially since you can't both worship satan (a deity) and be atheist at the same time. Either way it doesn't make you any more of a weirdo than the people who metaphorically consume the flesh of their prophet and venerate child molesters. It's hard for me to even dispute your post as it's so ridiculous. What you said just adds to the evidence that you are woefully ignorant of decent music and have the taste of a fourteen-year-old trailer park latchkey kid with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (aka the demographic of KSE's fans). Please, continue to enjoy your non-satanic and amazingly recorded tripe.

Picking a name like "Killswitch Engage" doesn't help, but being generic is an excellent reason to say they aren't "cool"... Recycling the popular music of the time is hardly admirable. But your favourite bands list is essentially the lineup of The World's Worst and Most Derivative Music Festival, so I'm not surprised you can't tell.

I smell a cat fight.

Overall, right now I think Rody from Protest the Hero is my favorite vocalist. As far as straight screamers go, John Henry from darkest hour is the best, IMO

I won't pretend to know much about metal, but Brendon Small (dethklok)

yeah Rody is great

Typically only tr00 kvlt bull**** overglorifies Satan. So no, not even most good black metal is about Satan.

Yeah. Black Metal can be about anything. Folklore, Paganism, etc.

Any genre of music can be about anything.
