User:Stov~enwiki/The Greatest Metal Bands of Our Time

Music is an ever evolving cycle of creativity and invention. Over the past decade we have seen an extremely sad degredation of music especially in the mainstream world. Now a days, it is almost effortless to become a musician! All you need is a pretty face and/or a TV show to become the mainstreams new toy. Metal, however, is quickly evolving and expanding to survive in today's musical world. Over the past few years we have seen the rising of several influential very talented musicians take the torch from the classic metal gods and continue to charge up the ranks of metal musicians. New technology and developing vocal and instrumental techniques are giving musicians the edge they need to make metal music more popular than ever before! Bands such as: All That Remains, Lamb of God, Bleeding Through, Slipknot, Job for a Cowboy, and many more that will be mentioned later in the article, have helped lead the charge of metals breakthrough into massive success. People more accustomed to mainstream music often don't realize just how much skill and effort are needed in order to make metal music and make it properly. It requires years of practice and hard work! Some of today's best guitarists, drummers, keyboardists (and samplists), bassists and vocalists are in the business of making metal. Vocalists such as Randy Blythe(Lamb of God), Corey Taylor(Slipknot, Stone Sour) and Phil Labonte(All That Remains) improvise and expand their vocal repertoire in order to appease the fans and help metal grow into the unstoppable force it is today.
