How is Cradle of Filth an embarassment? They are known as Black Metal, and dont have keyboard in their music, however COB does...
Hammerheart.
Cradle of Filth (along with Dimmu Borgir) were the first black metal bands to make it to the mainstream, which contradicts everything black metal originally was.

Wow, I used to like metal, but this music all sucks. What ever happened to like, Winger, and Motley Crue? Some of those badass bands who everyone realised later, were totally gay, like Judas Priest, or Sammy Hagar? They still rocked..

Am I Dead Yet?
actually, the do. copied this right out of the metal archives CoF page
my opinion on CoF is that, they WERE good. but they kinda lost their touch recently. Not that they really really suck now or anything, they just aren't as good.Keyboards:
Benjamin Ryan (The Blood Divine) (1991-1994)
Damien Gregori (1994-1997)
Les "Lecter" Smith (Anathema (UK)) (1997-1999)
William A. Sarginson [Was] [1999-2000]
Martin ''Foul'' Powell - Keyboards (ex-My Dying Bride, ex-Anathema (UK), ex-Cryptal Darkness) (2000-2005)
POUNCE....! PERIOD.
They are pupper show performers. Lyrics? They absolutely suck. All they want to do is shock you, and there's absolutely NO MEANING to their lyrics. Just shock crap. Dimmu Borgir and Cradle of Shit are both rip off's of Emperor, the true black metal band that started it all. All of CoF and Dimmu's songs are just rehashed Emperor riffs. Have you seen the way they dress? It's all a gimmick to fool you.

Fuck!You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to TobyNY again.
Megalith made a very strong point too. The band's overall obsession with image also makes them less "metal"... Well, we're not here to bash other bands, so rather than continuing this argument lets just set CoF aside.

Anyone heard of the Finnish band Demilich? They play a technical variant of death/thrash metal similar in vocal style to bands like Wormed. Some really good shit can be found here. You can get their entire discography legally for free at their official website.

Yip Demilich are definately underrated. The vocals aren't that similar to Wormed, they are far more unique
Am I Dead Yet?
demilich are awesome! hell, most every metal band from finland are awesome!
Ascending The Divine
Hell yeah. The Wake, Eternal Tears of Sorrow, Ensiferum, Wintersun etc but some of them do sound pretty similar (not saying that as a bad thing

Will check out Demilich... Another good DM band from Finland is Sotajumala, most likely reccomended to me by FrozenSky.They have a slight Hate Eternal-feel, but they also sound a bit like Polish/Euro death metal at times(Decapitated, Dies Irae, Vader). Speaking of which, Dies Irae is a KICK-ASS band featuring most of the members from Vader and their ex-drummer. Their vocalist/bassist is the same guy from Vader and he used to play for Behemoth up until recently. Very very similar to Vader except for what they did on the last album(which was a bit slower), by this I mean they are fucking fast! Great band, fans of Vader and modern DM in general will love them.
Anyone like Insision? They're Swedish... Since it's brutal DM, I'll probably check them out since I'm a huge fan of Wormed, Decrepit Birth, Necrophagist, etc., I love over-the-top-brutal DM.
I'm off to download some Disgorge and other related bands from the "Western brutal DM scene". Btw, Decrepit Birth have a new album coming up.

Have you noticed that the Swedish brutal death metal bands aren't as brutal as the US ones?
Here's some brutal death for you Soeru

Only heard of Vomnit Remnants. Thanks for that list.Yeah, US death metal in general always seems to be over-the-top, DM in Europe is a bit catchier(I'm not talking about melo death btw). Of course there are exceptions, look at Bloodbath or Decapitated for example, brutal stuff. But Vader are pretty catchy when compared to bands like Deeds of Flesh and Severed Savior, to name a few. Catchyness is a good thing though, it can't all be 250 riffs for every song.
Speaking of which, Severed Savior really kick ass. It's like... Deicide on crack. I need to listen to more DoF but I know they're pretty bad-ass too.
There's this band from Poland with Behemoth's drummer that play US-style brutal DM. They're called Azarath, pretty cool stuff, need to listen to more of it.
