Yeah, modern metal is head-and-shoulders above older stuff. Especially progressive metal.

Well I just noticed that we are all off one number, and It's my fault. Sorry :(
 
219466. I like everything. Pretty much. Though stuff like Die Antwoord's So What? is more my style, but as that's not PC appropriate, I'll give you something else.

Also, I prefer certain styles of metal. I personally don't think modern metal sounds better than classic metal for the most part. A lot of it is technically better from an ability standpoint, but sound can be sacrificed if too much emphasis is put on the technical aspects. For the record, though, I prefer metal that isn't death metal and has less screaming in the vocals, and also doesn't have raspy-sounding singers who sound like they're putting no effort into the vocals.

For instance, I prefer the lyrical flow of Blind Guardian's The Maiden and the Minstrel over their song Majesty, but I prefer both of these over the Demon Hunter songs linked above because of the raspy sounding vocals that feel like there was no effort put into actually singing them other than the points where the vocalist is screaming as loudly as possible. The instruments are technically sound but I feel have way too much dependence on the drums to the point where the guitars are playing second fiddle to them.

To finish on a good note, I find this to be fun to listen to because of the vocals and the guitar:

I really can't comment here, I've never listened to any of their songs.

I honestly wonder how. They've been around since the 80's, always releasing quality stuff. Most of the bands today were influenced by that era.

First time playing this game, and it looks like you folks are discussing metal music. Anyone noticed that modern metal music sound way deeper than classic metal music?

In what sense? The lyrics being more personal/involving feelings mostly? Recent bands have been doing that a lot, and I don't enjoy it much really, because one of the things I like the most about the bands I listen to is that they write pretty much about anything.

Most, If not all of the music I listen to is by Demon hunter or Red.

I totally understand where your coming from about the "Raspy" vocals, though Dead Flowers isn't so bad.
This song better then anything by demon hunter in my opinion.

This band plays Alternative Rock and not metal though.

Me too. I think of composers such as Beethoven and Vivaldi. Beethoven's works are absolute masterpieces. To think that he was almost completely deaf when he composed his 9th Symphony...
