how do u guys feel about meshuggah or Born of Osiris??? i think meshuggah is one of the best metal bands of this time if not the best but then again i also like dethklok (metalocalypse, comedy central) so maybe i have a shit taste in metal...
btw... woot for everyone who pointed out their liking to opeth, soilwork and in flames

I was looking at all the 20+ minute tracks I have and I feel I don't have enough metal tracks at such lengths. The following I have right now are:

Dream Theater - Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (41:33)
Manowar - Achilles, Agony and Ecstasy In Eight Parts (28:38)
Symphony X - The Odyssey (24:09)
Dream Theater - Octavarium (24:00)
Dream Theater - A Change of Seasons (23:09)
Fates Warning - The Ivory Gate of Dreams (21:58)
Meshuggah - I (21:00)
Symphony X - The Divine Wings of Tragedy (20:42)
Opeth - Black Rose Immortal (20:14)

Know any 20+ minute epics I'm missing out on and should have in my library?

I may be just picky but I prefer seeing one artist per line and not separate them all with commas. I find it much easier to scroll down the list to see what's there.

I'm not a fan of his music but I can easily understand this as being yet another landmark release in the new year. After all, it's his first album since he got out of prison.

Damn, if only one of the shows was in England. I would have done so much to go there.

I don't mind them myself. Infact, I'm thinking of getting Stay Hungry sometime considering I Wanna Rock and We're Not Gonna Take It.

Meshuggah = Sweet as tits.
Born of Osiris = Dunno, never heard.

And in regards to Dethklok - definately shitty taste there :P.

And what Oppugnant did:

I am developing a new love with Insomnium, I think they're great, it's a perfect and epic mix of brutal music with melodic music, basically, Melodic Death Metal... I have the album "Across the Dark" and I think it's magnificent, if you like this band which album do you prefer and you would recommend me?

I don't have very long tracks in my playlist

I never keep my music on my computer. It's all on my iPod. Do you guys just download and keep all the albums?

Also, Trevor's surname is (Str-nad). It's so exotic and sexy. :3

Excuse my childishness

My longest song is The Penis Fruit Loop by Nurse With Wound, not even remotely metal and only 25 mins, but still :p

Those were just as bad. Especially Varathron.

What do you mean? Those are good recommendations, not as good as yours.

Svarti Loghin is fucking win though.

Meshuggah = They're pretty fucking horrible.
Born Of Osiris = Haven't listened to there recorded stuff, but at summer slaughter tour they were a band that played and they blew.

You guys have made some good suggestions. But it seems that in terms of modern death metal... there was no recommandations. And since Ponos once described me as an "Modern Death Metal fagget", than I guess it's my job to suggest some of todays greatest death metal. Well, my list won't be a 100% modern death... but I'll add the ones you guys didn't mention and my personnal favorites.

Benighted, Blotted Science, Spawn Of Possession, Quo Vadis, Origin, Blood Red Throne, Decapitated, Suffocation, Cryptopsy, Cynic, Krisiun, Kronos, Nile, Panzerchrist

There is no such thing as just "Death Metal" in my opinion.

I mean, if you are solely death metal chances are you are really boring.

Melodic Death Metal, Blackened Death metal, Electronic Death Metal, Technical Death Metal, Brutal Death Metal, Progressive death Metal, Slam Death Metal, etc.

And some of those bands I wouldn't even consider death metal, like Blotted Science.

I would just consider them Technical Metal.

Kamelot - Center Of The Universe

Of course. Most important part of your post is this "if you are solely death metal chances are you are really boring". I can't say I like all Death Metal. I'm more into the technical and brutal stuff. And seing how I like Panzerchrist a lot, I should get more into Blackened Death Metal.

Only listen to Synaptic Plasticity. At 2:45 they start playing a typical death metal riff. And that's just one of the many death metal riffs they play. And if you are not convinced, just listen to the bassline. Not only is it a hundred percent death metal, but it also has the sound you will find death metal bassist to use most often then not.

Alice in Chains is metal and anyone who says otherwise has no penis and eats elephant feces.

They're okay. But Belphegor, Agatus, Peste Noire (unless you really like hard french bm), Varathron and Dawn could've stayed off the list.

not as good as yours.

Well, thank you, I'm blushing.

Svarti Loghin is fucking win though.

No doubt.

The video for Repulsive Salvation was just how a music video should be. I really love Skeletonwitch right now...even thought they use First Act guitars.

I was just giving you shit. Lol. I don't think buying music is retarded. Some just dont have the money to buy all they want to.

And, I've been combing through some newer Power Metal recently, and I stumbled upon Ilium's Ageless decay album. Its some pretty good stuff. I would rate it about a 3.5/5. Worth checking out, I think.

I said I buy music. But I'm not going to lie... I didn't buy everything that is on my iPod buy I know that I own more than 200 albums. Most of the time, what I do is that I download the album, I listen to it and if I really like it, I go and buy the cd version. If I think it's ok, but that it really isn't one of my favorites... I still keep it and sometimes an album that I didn't like at first will become one of my favorites after a few more plays. So yes, I download music, but I buy a lot of albums two :)

Nie Im learning norwegian! lol

hahahaha irl... this is hilarious, i usually support the bands after i listen to their cd... its always a nice gesture to support a band if they are not that big... bands end up being poor and forgotten so i try to help.. but fuck major label bands... arrogant pricks most of them

Above the Weeping World is their best. It's much more consistent. Not sure where you stand on the clean vocals in Across the Dark but none of the albums before it have the clean vocals on them. They're all worth checking out though.

I'm seeing a lot of black and doom. Not what I had in mind exactly for 20+ minute epics (I still welcome anything that kicks ass) so out of all you have, I'll most likely check out Edge of Sanity's Crimson if it's any good.

I have tons of space on my laptop and external hard drive so I may as well keep them all on there. :D

If I didn't have money to buy any music for a few months, I wouldn't lower myself by downloading whole albums of stuff I want to listen to. I'll only get them by buying the music as it's only right to support the artists who put the effort into recording the music. Anyone who doesn't even buy music once and downloads all the time deserve arrest.
