   I like shitting on other genres of music, but I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't point out that in Heavy Metal the top artists are the same artists as 30-40 or even more years ago. Very little past the year 2000 had staying power, and the underground are stuck in a loop of "how can I make this sound Tr00 Kvult?" or "I need to spend my time perfecting a guitar sound instead of actually writing songs".
   
   And honestly seeing how the internet and social media are, I don't see this changing anytime soon. With as much media as there is out there it's incredibly difficult to sound new or fresh to a large enough audience to break into the mainstream.

     The only metal band worth a shit since the early 2000s is Opeth. Everything else is just regurgitation.

     @Humpleupagus @NitroDubs > guys I know this track is already 16 minutes long, but I think a 7 minute change to acoustic guitars would really help take it to another level
