Their lyrics are garbage, and as I said their mainstream songs (singles) are pretty bad imo. Just make sure to check out the heavier stuff.

I was actually listening to Mudvayne yesterday, saw Saw II and this was in the credits:

 

I only put my hands in the fire for Mudvayne's LD:50, the album after that one I also love but was a change in a bad direction which took the band to a plain musical direction.

There are some good lyrics in the first album which seems to be an ode to insanity:

Great idea for a thread! I knew there were more of us than just Abbath and Polyglot. Just a few bullet points to clear some thoughts from my head:

- Agent Orange SLAYS! Great pick. Highly recommend M-16 from Sodom's discography - solid thrash from the 21st century

- @AngryLittleAlchemist: Funny story; I've seen you on sputnik from reading Alice in Chains review threads lol (as a lurker) so can we both agree that Dirt is top 5 all time?

- As a metalhead I'm all over the map. If I had to pick top 5 bands I'd choose Neurosis, Opeth, Converge, Alice in Chains and Death. Only 2 "metal" bands out of that bunch lol. I'm open to almost everything, and listen to bands that match my activity. Dismember/Pig Destroyer for working out, Opeth for the autumn, Paradise Lost/Alice in Chains for driving etc

I'd like to recommend some under the radar modern bands for those with similar tastes:

Do you like Opeth? Be'lakor are a great Australian band with a similar flavor.

 

Hi ReimTime. Metal threads get opened and we pop our ugly heads, don't we. :P

That Vektor band I can't recommend enough either. Tight band.

I remember you like Opeth Reim, so I recommend you this band with an Opeth ex-drummer:

It's nice to have bands that sound like Opeth now that Opeth themselves are dedicated to making Circus Music. :P
