Slayer isn't really a metal band, more death imo. Some easy metal is Anathema, good lyrics. As I Lay Dying are ok. Ill Nino isn't really metal but they're ok too. Lacuna Coil, Lollipop Lust Kill, Mudvayne, Nonpoint, Opeth, Otep, Rise Against, Soil, Throwdown. I'm sure there's more but meh

Slayer aren't metal but Rise Against are? and what exactly the genre "death"?

"Death" as in Death Metal. the person who originally posted didn't want Death Metal bands, I was saying in my opinion Salyer is more death metal but Rise Against is just metal or even hardcore. It's just my opinion dude. Chill

Slayer is thrash. ...aren't they?

^yep.

Rise Against isn't metal at all, how much have you actually heard? I wouldn't exactly call them hardcore either.

Even some of the bands you posted, (I like some, others I hate), kind of further proves an old point of mine. Music progresses with time, and you'd be slapped for saying that back in the 90's by some people =P
All those bands are mostly new-age bands, the new "metal" bands. That's like some kid saying, "Iron Maiden isn't metal, if you want metal listen to Lamb Of God." The guys who wrote the "Metal Education Thread", did a great job of summing up what I mean.

My favorite metal is Titanium.

It gets the job done.

Good choice. Titanium sure holds up.

Rise Against is primarily punk, their new album is has a bit of hardcore influence and the one before it had like a song ir two that where like post hardcore, but you're trying to tell me that I didn't post metal and then you post Rise Against, what the hell.

Yeah they are, but thrash is a subgenre of metal and the dude asked for metal, thus he gets thrash as well.
