I guess part of it is my age and part of it is my preference for blues-based music (which doesn't seem to be "in" right now), but I just yawn every time I hear new "heavy" music.

The # 1 metal album on Amazon.com right now is from a bunch of cartoon characters called "Dethklok". (sigh)
I don't think the music of post-Vulgar-Display Dimebag or any of his associated acts was particularly riveting either.

There's still quite a bit of decent heavy music out there. All ya have to do is look hard. European underground metal has plenty to offer.
