I love DIsturbed, I just never really considered them metal. The guitarist is heavily influenced by Iron Maiden though, so they get credit for that.

Well I consider them to definately be metal, not just hard rock, at least with their songs that I have.

Lexington Deville, you have a great list, especially in the metalcore genre (although I hate that genre name.) I recently got into Shadows Fall and LOVE The Art of Balance!

Cheers, that's the beauty of keeping an open mind Art of Balance is SF's best album IMO.

Afar as Shadows Fall go though I started with Somber Eyes to the Sky...production killed that...then Of One Blood...production better but lacks the dynamic range...so I am going to sell it and buy Fear Will Drag You DOwn. It made To Ashes sound incredible. AMazing what a little production can do.
