Time for a few 'tube links methinks.

Brujeria - I know and like them but am unaware of any recent albums? Might be worth a check.
Only a best of and a singles collection as far as I remember. Shame really as I thought they could be a long lasting band musically.
SikTh - Never heard, what type of metal?
Progressive Metal apparently but that covers a lot. Basically, thrashy stuff with almost undecipherable vocals. Actually, you might not like them because one of the singers can be a little high pitched.
Scent of the Obscene (on their 1st album)
Bland Street Bloom (from their 2nd and last album)
Machine Head - Call me weird, they don't do much for me :-/
I only like their first and last albums. The rest is just average to me. I won't turn the others off if they're on the radio or tv, but I won't go out the way to hear those other albums either.
Zao - Not familar, I'll check them out
My Love, My Love (We've Come Back From The Dead).
The Rising End. The audio on this is a bit shit and tinny, but you'll still get a good idea of what they're like.
Forget that they used to be a christian band - they've got the cookie monster vocals and the heavyness of proper metal. They do belong in Terrorizer mag (dunno if you get that over there).
I did test drive a newer(ish) CD from old school bands Pestilence and Suffocation the other day. I could take or leave the Suffocation CD, but the Pestilence CD was fantastic! I'm going to have to pick up their entire back catalog now
I think they have a new CD coming out soon too.
I'll have to check them out, never heard of them.
Talking about old school... I sure do miss Strapping Young Lad, I hope they reform one day. The last CD was weakish, but everything else was fantastic. Heavy as a Real Heavy Thing and City still get heavy rotation here. There aren't may better songs than S.Y.L.
Old skool? I was listening to Iron Butterfly last week. Shame they're almost an unknown band in the metal genre. They should get credit like Black Sabbath and Venom.
As I said before I really haven't paid much attention to anything new except for Nine Inch Nails. Nothing new seems to interest me that much except for that Cannibal Corpse DVD set. Got it a few months ago and still haven't watched all of it yet though.
Been listening to a fair bit of The Beatles, Aerosmith and The Wildhearts. But nothing new in the metal scene. I can't even remember the last metal CD I bought :shock:
