^Yes...not my absolute favorite, but i do own all of their albums, with the exception of "Chemistry Of Consciousness"...that is,if they can really be counted as a band,seeing as up until 2008 the band consisted of Joel Grind...and no one else.
^In Flames is awesomesauce, definitely one of the most easily palatable bands of the Melodic Death Metal sub-genre, even though IMO they've kinda gone downhill since "Come Clarity".
One of the first death metal songs I've ever heard. The drumming is so fluid and adds so much it's addicting - It's not the fastest or most complex out there, but nails the atmosphere the guitars set with every time change - Something I grew to appreciate in Carach Angren as well. The guitars themselves are just the right amount of chuggy, and with 3 of them, you get the full layering effect.

Well, I'm kinda in the metal snob category with melodeath, and, well, I loved their old sound. he newer stuff just doesn't click for me...that and they keep cancelling every damn time I try to see them live, but that's besides the point.
Anyhoo, it's just my opinion. I'm a snob about melodeath, almost as bad as I am about thrash.
I've not been a fan of In Flames at all - But As the Palaces Burn is easily one of LoG's top albums - It's got moshy-goodness, excellent musicianship, decent lyrics, and even the filler songs are still pretty good. Ashes of the Wake is ~14 minutes longer, and still has some fantastic songs, if ya don't own it already.
What do you guys think of industrial metal? I just notice this band through streams.

There are a few Industrial bands that I like (mostly bands from the "Neue Deutsche Härte" movement, bands like Eisbrecher, Laibach, Oomph!, Rammstein and the like)...but most of them just feel kinda "meh" to me, with a few exceptions (Orgy and Static-X come to mind).

Mechina's newest album is pretty sweet, and Lyfthrasyr is one of the few (probably only) industrial black metal bands I've heard, and they aren't too bad.
I like Industrial Metal, Rammstein, Statix-X, Fear Factory... Great bands. I also like Marilyn Manson but I'll just call him industrial rock to prevent butthurt

edit:
Holy fuck how did I not include Rob Zombie!? He fucking rocks
Favorite band of all time? That's a hard one. I love many bands and it's hard to pick one. I'll just list off a few that come to mind immedietly; Arsis (Technical/melodic death), Wintersun (Melodic/folkish death), Fleshgod Apocalypse (Brutal Death(early)/Orchestrated Death(later)), Severe Torture (Brutal Death), Ne Obliviscaris (Progressive Death/Black), Mourning Beloveth (Doom/Death), Daylight Dies (Doom/Death), Blotted Science (Instrumental, Technical and a bit experimental), Soilwork (Melodic Death (early)/Terrible watered down shadow of what once was (Later)), The Black Dahlia Murder (Metalcore (early - don't bother)/Melodic or not so Melodic Death (later)), Deeds Of Flesh (Brutal Death (early)/Technical Brutal Death (later)).
There are many more but these reflect my tastes rather well.
My favorite genre then... Death Metal, and its variations, hands down. I like it fast, hard and rough (You're welcome to qoute me out of context).
Lately i've been nerding alot of slam and brutal death in general. I'm getting gore fatigue, although i like the sound im not overly fond of the more common themes... Dismembering prostitutes and bathing in intestines has it's place (not really) but it's really annoying when every other song has squishy guts sampled in or women screaming for a minute before the songs start playing. What really made me tick was seeing song titles such as "Dismember the transgender" and "Being dead is better than being gay" - not that im either. I just think the trend needs to die to make way for interesting content. Bands like Deeds Of Flesh deviate from the norm, and while they're not super original at least the lyrical themes are interesting, being mostly sci-fi while maintaining a sense of brutality. Plus, the music is amazing by itself.
Definitely won't be everyone's cup of tea, but worth a listen if you like atmospheric or doom-y metal. I've been trying to find their earlier releases, but most of it isn't on Youtube.
Wintersun sounded like a cool band name so I'm listening on Youtube. Musically, it's great, though vocally I'm reminded of Alestorm. Doesn't quite fit, but it's cool.
Gonna keep looking into this un. Got any albums you'd recommend?
