But thought I'd give it a mention maybe. This is way off the map as far as my tastes go as well but the new single from the band In Flames absolutely rocks!!! Its called "Bullet Ride", kind've a cross between thrash and black metal but there's something about it that has really got me. They're playing it at Hardradio.com a fair bit at the moment.

Another band I never thought I'd be interested in but have blown me away, Sinergy. They sound fantastic as well, but again, they step off the heavier scale of this board (I think, can't be too sure). And who else, oh yeah, Mob Rules, they've got something about them that I rate highly.

Bit of a head banger at heart me thinks ;-).

Cheers and beers
