I'm going to talk about a fantastic band, so that you can get a good idea early on of what good music is.
This band is none other than Soilwork, a melodic death metal band from Sweden. Melodic death is by far the best subgenre out there, as it can have anything from melodic lead guitar and solos, ambient backing keyboards, and melodic vocals. Occasionally a band will have all three. Soilwork is one such band. Amazing harsh vocals and even better clean choruses, heavy rhythm guitar supplemented by incredibly melodic solos and impressive drums all combine to make a band better than 98% of whatever shit you listen to. Show me some lame Indie vocalist, and I'll show you vocalist Bjorn Strid, who can break him in half. Remember, the ability of one band to kick another's ass is part of what makes them so awesome. The lameness of non-metal music is reflected by the people who play it.

Soilwork is the music of the gods. Seeing them in concert, albeit with different guitarists, was quite the treat. Though I am still excited about Pagan Fest like there's no tomorrow.
