As far as bands that I think are underrated, I would have to go with Strapping Young Lad, while they do have a fair underground fan base, I think they were one of the few metal bands to come out in the past 12-15 years that could hit so many buttons right. It had tongue-in-cheek humour, anger, skullets, and it spanned a lot of the extreme metal genre, trying bits and pieces and seeing what happens when you mix it all together.
