Metal is a tough genre to filter. It's full of noise, copycats, screaming, cookie-monster vocals, pompous viking pretensions, self-indulgent lead guitarists, blind fan loyalty, and other nonsense. Few bands seem to get it right. Once you start wandering off from the radio-friendly stuff like Priest or Metallica, it's easy to get lost and discouraged, or end up as a human sacrifice for some strange cult. Occasionally I stumble across something new and good, but not often.
