best metal cd of the 21st century

Its clearly got to be killbox 13 by overkill I mean that cd puts the heavy in heavy metal and has phenemenal riffage that is highly memorable and overkill the band itself has never messed up I mean all their albums rule ok some of you may think that I hear black is a crap album but it aint its their most underrated album. In my opinion I think they are one of those few bands that get better and better all the time and heavier and heavier sure their under the influence era was good as well but doesn't hold a candle to killbox 13 They have been true to themselves and derserve the amount of respect bands like Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Dio and Slayer have

It's very important that you remember to punctuate.

I'll get back to you in the year 3,000 with an answer.

Killbox 13 is an awesome album.
couldn't really say whats the best album. too many to mention.

Overkill with Bobby Gustafson is best.

Bobby was awesome, but i prefer them with Dave Linsk.

Well, so far:

Hirax - New Age of Terror
Municipal Waste - Art of Partying

Tha art of partying kicks major ass

We don't need their laws together we destroy
And I won't let them ruin the one thing I enjoy
Tonight's the night we finally get to rip this place apart
And this is how we turn your boring party into art

It doesn't get much better then that

I'm amazed that since so many are sucking up to this new Metallica that it isn't mentioned. I don't like it, but its just an observation.

The best CD of the 21st century hasn't been recorded yet in my opinion.

Best? I dunno but I play Communic an awful lot.

i'll let you know my pick when the 21st century is over.

fave Overkill is WFO though.

I'll drink to that. You gotta love an album that has almost twice the # of songs as a normal album at half the length.

It took me awhile to think about this one, but I've decided on:



Over 20 years into their career C.O.C. unleashed their best album ever in 2005. The addition of jazz/funk drummer Stanton Moore helped push the record over the top, adding a much needed "Bill Ward infusion" to the proceedings and helping them create one of the heaviest albums since Volume 4.

that is a great album, although i wouldn't go that far. it's my favorite COC album now though.

yeah, I found post-Killing Kind Overkill mediocre at best

as for best album of this century so far:

Reverend Bizarre - In The Rectory Of The Bizarre Reverend

So far, Im digging Toxic Holocaust's material the best.

I def prefer Reed Mullin's drumming over Stantons. Reed just had those memorable drums lines. As for my favorite album of the 21st century there are a few that come to mind.

Alter Bridge - Blackbird
Pagan's Mind - Enigmatic Calling
Nocturnal Rites - Grand Illusion
Nevermore - Dead Heart in a Dead World

and more later...

I Have to agree with Lurideath

I know there are plenty of Phil haters here, But my vote goes for the 3 Down albums, I dont think any one is any better than the other, they are all great. I also agree with Detuned, ITAOG is awesome. Stanton Moore is in a jazz band called Galactic, which is also great.

Stanton's presence is one of the main reasons I love that album so much. All the drum tracks were recorded in 2 days at Stanton's home studio in New Orleans. The goal was to be as spontaneous as possible (as close to a jazz vibe as they could get), according to an interview with Woody, about half of the drum tracks were the first take...and the song was recorded straight through, no edits on the drums tracks anywhere on the album.

This is not the normal method for rock recording these days, however it's been the norm for jazz recording since the beginning.

Stanton is a bad man, no doubt. I met him after a Galactic show in N.O. once, nice dude indeed.

The 3 new songs on "The Dio Years" destroy all in thier path...
