Godsmack, The Pretty Reckless, Tool, Slipknot, Mushroomhead, Eisbrecher (to dab in a bit of Euro trash flavor), Disturbed, Ten Thousand Archers, Mudvayne.
These bands are all around and still making music. I agree, radio is dead; even the paid for satellite subscriptions all suck now. But good music is still being made. I'm shifting into a Punk phase myself. Now THAT genre is dead. Turbo Negro kind of holds on, but it's not the same.
Even if Slipknot did release an album last year, nobody gave a shit because it sounds just like the one they put out five years ago. I like Slipknot, and We Are Not Your Kind got a resounding "Meh," from me. It's Stone Sour, but 37% growl-ier.
Ten Thousand Archers has a woman singer. Listening to women sing metal is God damned painful.*
Pretty Reckless is literal filth made to popularize whorishness among the twenty or thirty teenage girls left in the world that don't listen to nigger music. Plus, see women metal singers above.
Mushroomhead is a shitty knockoff. Wooo, scary masks. It feels like 2001 all over again. Back when Slipknot mattered. And that spooky guy in Limp Bizkit with the black contact lenses. And there's some woman there that, for reasons unknown, isn't shutting up. See the above.
Disturbed only ever had one good song, and that was almost 20 years ago.
I won't say Tool is bad. They have a few songs I like, I guess. I have their discography saved in my computer somewhere. But even if someone gave me free concert tickets, I wouldn't go see them.
Godsmack and Mudvayne are the only two bands you mentioned that are worth a petal of piss in the wind, and Mudvayne hasn't cut a record since 2009.
* The only - and I mean only woman "metal" singer I have ever heard that didn't make me want to shoot a nailgun into my ear to stop the pain is what's her face from In This Moment. And that's not so much metal as it is slightly edgier pop-rock to target the same twenty or thirty girls as Pretty Reckless does.
But, I tell you what: Tell some 30 or 35 year old bar whore that you like In This Moment, and you are getting a blowjob, bare minimum. It's worked too many times for me for it to be a coincidence.
