I've got to admit my auditory intake of metal is non existent. Well apart from the Black Album, which is awful. I always imagine dudes with rubbish clothes, dodgy facial hair, tacky black guitars, and voices shouting lyrics that can be appreciated when your 15, in the style of an old WWF interview. I'm guessing this is the general opinion of outsiders. Is it way off the mark? LoathsomePete's comment, that it is a geek/nerd genre is true (though you could say the same for indie), but it doesn't really come across in the confident and technically precise music (the track above is nice, if a little tasteful), two features that usually don't exist in bashful, apologetic indie.

Genuine question; I dig Hendrix/Sabbath/Stooges/Motorhead big time. Is there anyone in recent metal that has that same visceral power? There must be something I'm missing out on.
