opinion…yes…
Metallica
then..Pantera
now..
it’s Machine Head
Devildriver
Lamb of God
and Daath is pretty good at writing as well.
I think what they all have in common is good songwriting and hooks mixed with the heaviness. Sure there are others…but I think these are at the top of the chain. Megadeth has wimpy vocals IMO. and Slayer solos are horrible..not to mention Tom’s vox arent the best either. Just saying these bands kinda have it all. Of course Metallica arent the same band anymore, and Pantera is no more. I feel Machine Head, Devildriver, and Lamb of God are the ones taking the torch from those bands. Daath sound to be getting close…but we’ll see. I think a MH, Devildriver,LOG, and Daath tour would be awesome.
-wtf
