Mainstream metal has really lost a lot of hold. A band like Divine Heresy, I don't even find interesting or good. The same story with Black Label Society. It's a recycled sound. Agro as a motherfuker, but what good is it? It reminds me of dumbasses with crew cuts that go to shows to start fights and masturbate to "Road House".

they've been discussed pretty thoroughly before. the problem with mainstream metal isn't that it's necessarily bad, but it's deeply entrenched in the quiet LOUD quiet LOUD dynamic that started in the 1990s. it's almost if a band explores a path that doesn't have that structure than there's little reason for mainstream music fans to enjoy it without those hooks.
