I would agree, although I'm not real big on SOAD like I used to be. I don't know much about Kalmah either.

I must admit when you said "emo singing" I laughed REALLY hard. Not only does the singing sound nothing even close to emo, but the content of the songs isn't emo either. At all. Seriously, what are you saying? Most of the lyrics (which are my main problem with the band) are basic "pump up" type lyrics, like those in Pantera's "Walk". As for the metalcore thing I don't see it at all, and the bands you listed to compare gave absolutely no justice to your argument at all. If 5FDP is derivative of anything, it is from Pantera or any other groove metal band. They remind me of a less-good and more melodic Lamb of God.

This sums up 5FDP perfectly and like DevilDriver they are light-weights and inferior versions of Lamb of God imo.

I`ve always said that Lamb of God in terms of style and talent were the Pantera of the 00`s.

Killadelphia rocks. One of best recent live albums I've heard.

Is Killedelphia good? A friend told me he didn't think it sounded good because it was in a small venue or something. I will give it a look.

A few bands that tip their hat to Metal bands past but have enough individuality to separate them from the endless Metalcore bands out there.A few bands that have stood out for me over the last 10- 15 years:

Gojira
Hacride
Cobalt
Akercocke
Agalloch
Triptykon
Intronaut
Opeth
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum
Earth



I could mention bands like Maudlin Of The Well, Grails and Kayo Dot but their sound is not always strictly Metal.
