I remember being really heavy into it, but gradually it just kind of got bland. I still like some death metal stuff like Cryptopsy and some more "progressive" stuff like Sikth and Meshuggah, but yeah, for the most part I've just kind of fallen out of it I guess. So to answer your question I like it a little. Not alot. Also this shit is gay.

I feel like I have been OVER-exposed to heavy metal, I used to listen to EVERY SINGLE band with a cool name and now shit all sounds the same.

I hate in alot of cases how the lyrics are so cliche and the songwriting is non existent, it gets dry so quickly.

Kalmah for instance is basically children of bodom.

Well, I mean, its kind of a stale scene as well. I like some death metal but in all honesty its become very samey. The only way to really tell bands apart is if you just dig into the technicality of the music which is pretty tedious and gay. Its lost alot of its appeal because like everything else its become samey. I mean, there are some pretty cool bands out there, but its not something mind blowing or anything. If you want some suggestions, Cryptposy is pretty awesome.. um, Death were pretty much the originators and they eventually went on to be more prog-death metal (I know, it sounds stupid). Theres also Tech Death but most of it is even more samey than regular death metal. Also Blast Beats up the ass, it gets pretty ridiculous. Melodeath is pretty sweet though. At The Gates is melodeath so maybe you would like more stuff along those lines.

but dude you ALSO like hardcore which is the most samey shit i ever heard

do you know how cheesy this is brad? amon amarth/cob combined

Well, I'm more into Metalcore which has a vary wide variety of bands (but also manages to have the most copy bands as well heh heh) but yeah. Hardcore can get very samey as well, but like metal, I only listen to certain bands that really stand out to me like Black Flag and The Carrier which both of those are pretty different from each other. I'm not denying hardcore isn't samey because it is, but so is most metal as well.

I still like Bal-Sagoth

I'll enjoy metal if it's on, but i'll only seek it out once in a while.

I forgot to mention which ones I listen to: *Shels, Novembre, Quo Vadis, Black Dahlia Murder, some old in flames/dark tranquility, vintersorg

Also, in case anyone is considering getting the new Beneath The Massacre, its pretty much Mechanics of Dysfunction pt.2 with more tapping. Its still pretty decent if your into tech death, but I wouldn't slap down cash for it. Also Black Dahlia Murder owns. I've been listening to miasma more than usual.
