Lupin said: Metal imo kinda died around the late 90's when Nu metal got big. Of course there are some decent new wave of metal bands like Municipal Waste, Toxic Holocaust and Warbringer, there are a ton of mediocre bands that try way to hard especially in the deathcore and metalcore scene. That shit needs to die, give me back my Venom and Celtic Frost.
I don't know I would say metal died in the 90's. It definitely went through a transition as rap (unfortunately) became mainstream. Since the 90's metal seems to be transitioning back to its roots to a point. A lot of the old Nu Metal bands have died off and the ones that are still around and making albums have done everything they can to change their style and get away from their Nu Metal labeling. I doubt if metal will ever again be as big as it once was but it is far from dead.
