Chris Adler is my favourite drummer.

But honestly - Art Cruz is a beast.

He is able to drum in that unique Lamb Of God way, but still sound like Art Cruz, if that makes sense.

The new album sounds like "old", or "clasic" Lamb Of God, but I'm loving it.

Raymond Herrera and Matt Greiner are my all time faves. Both f**king sick drummers!!

Both are animals.

Alex Bent is a beast, too.

Trivium are one of my favorites!

On another note, I have been looking into metal bands which have a female influence. I have 2 girls about 8 and 12, both learning electric guitar and drums, and am trying to steer them away from that mainstream pus that infects the airwaves. They were very impressed with the singer from jinjer, she is f**kin amazing. Anyone else got some ideas? Doesn't have to be vocals, instruments will do too

lady vocalists

Unleash the Archers released the best power metal album in years (apex, 2017) not long ago and have another coming soon
Nightwish and Epica are the quintessential female fronted metal bands, both have a long history of good material.
Lacuna Coil and Arch Enemy have their moments, and Evanescence had theirs in the early 2000s.

Unfortunately instrumental female members of big name metal bands are harder to find...
Some noteworthy ones though:

Voyager - (Australian) guitarist Simone Moy, and have had female bassists in the past
Code Orange - Reba Myers is a guitarist and founding member
Ensiferum until recently had ladies on keyboards
Kylesa - Laura Pleasents on guitar as well as vocals
and classic death metal band Bolt Thrower had Jo Bench on bass for all albums

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Lori Bravo - bassist/vocalist for cult US death metal act Nuclear Death
Sarcana - keyboard player for Gehenna

After 6 months my Math Core Index CD arrived. I got turned onto it because of Sectioned and Frontierer. Some early standouts are:





but by far the biggest surprise is the only non-metal song on the 41 track double disk, a technical band called Delta Sleep.


Great stuff that. The album is Ghost City and it's absolute gold.

Doro Pesch Not to everyone’s taste but seems the obvious one.

Late entry in the my album of the year stakes, I think this one has pipped all the others for the crown. Probably the best black metal release I’ve heard in the the last 5 years, just massive and terrifying sounding:

For fans of straight up 80s thrash:

 

[Vic Mackey]

Came across ‘Eyes Wide Open’ as an ad on Instagram. Swedish metal band. Nothing you haven’t heard before but really digging them. They’ve been around for a while but still seem fairly small. Got into them very quickly and it usually takes me a few listens to get into new metal bands

While not actually metal, see if they like Sleater-Kinney. Like I said not metal but they definitely rock.

Give them a taste of this
