As I Lay Dying

Sheer crazy metalcore..

proof that Christianity has a metal side

Prior to this, a novel by William Faulkner chronically the Bundren family after the passing of Addie Bundren, as they try to bring her body back to her hometown and into the dirt she desired. The story is told piecemeal through short bits of alternating first-person narration. While it's no Sound and the Fury, its a bit more urban, since at some point they do arrive in a city...or town maybe.

A metalcore band that often gets a bad rap for having simple guitar riffs/solos. Many "metalheads" (Metallica fans) who wouldn't know a blast beat from a breakdown, take everything Lars Ulrich says as gospel, and actually bought St. Anger, (almost destroyed metal) fail to notice the masterful drum solos and excellent bass grooves.

A mainstream hardcore band that attempts to make music, but fails horribly.

Also, a band whose songs can be learned in under five minutes without tablature.

A shit-metal band. The "vocalist" just screams for screaming sake, and can't even do that well. He sounds like some adolescent 100 lb. wuss. The "music" if you can even call it that is boring, repetetive, and sounds like every other one of these "nu metal" bands that plauge the industry with cookie cutter riffs, and scream scream scream bullshit. The future of metal is in jeopardy of being taken over by this crap.

1. A band that basically sucks.

2. To Gwar(shart), Slipknot(mouth shart), and mayhem (blow asnot rocket) all at the same time.
