Horns Up Heavy Metal fans?

Blue Record has been their best album to date, there are some really great tracks on this album, and I would recommend a full listed to any metal fan. The follow up album, Yellow & Green, was a bit of let down for me. Baroness' tour bus crashed in 2012, and although no one died, their bassist and drummer were no longer able to continue performing with the band. They have since replaced them in the lineup, and are touring once again, but I hope that once they hit the studio again they will come back to something close to the sound of their first two albums.
 
Sounds killer!

OK, so I can identify Max Cavelera, and the bassist from Mastodon, but who are the other two? Lead singer sounds familiar, but I can't place him.
 
The other one is Greg Puciato from Dillinger Escape Plan. He's a beast. Those guys put on an amazing show if you ever get the chance to see them. I had to look up the drummer. Apparently, he is David Elitch from Mars Volta.

 
This video is from the last time I saw Dillinger Escape Plan in Dallas. It's a fast version of the entire show. When the crowd jumped on the stage during the last song, the band just kept rocking. It was one of the coolest things I've ever seen in my life.

Here are a couple of bands I have been digging recently, one old, one (relatively) new:

Battle Beast has a new album out this month (their third album), but I had not heard of them before now. Female fronted power metal, and I love it!

Cynic has been around since the early '90s, I was really into their first album, Focus, back in the day. It was technical death metal with prog influences, and the robotic vocoder vocals had me hooked. They broke up for nearly a decade, and I missed their next few albums. Their most recent album came out early last year, but I didn't discover it until December. It won't be for all metal fans, they have dropped any pretense at death metal, aggressive vocals are gone, and even the vocoder vocals are nearly non-existent, yet the trippy, proggy sound captured me in a way that even Opeth's total prog conversion did not. Give it a listen:

Good stuff. I especially like the band Cynic. I've been listening to a lot of their other songs on youtube. Here's a band that I went to see a few months ago called Monuments. I didn't really enjoy their performance that much, but both of the people I went with said it was some of the best shit they've heard in a long time. And both of them are kind of metal aficionados, so I'm still listening to this band trying to understand what I'm missing.

 
Listening to some Meshuggah is a great way to start the morning, gets the blood pumping.

Ukranian black metal outfit Drudkh released their 10th album last week. Good to know they are still able to produce with the chaos in their home country, but I have no idea if they actually record there.

That's a whole lot of awesome. I'll have to check out more of their music.

Here's some new Goatwhore. :)

Thanks for the vids Smoker!

I have never been all that into Goatwhore, not sure why, they just don't really do it for me.

With Ghost, I was more partial to their first album, which this track is from. They are supposed to be releasing a new album in August, I am hoping for good things.

I had never heard of Graveyard, but I really dig the track you linked. I love the retro, kind of acid rock, feel it has. I will definitely be listening to more from this band.
 
Graveyard is one of my favorite bands. They are from Sweden, and they sound like Led Zeppelin on steroids. This song they made will probably kick your eardrums in their asses.

 
I get more of an Iron Butterfly vibe from the music, but I can hear a bit of Robert Plant in the vocals. Either way, I like it quite a bit.
 
This might not be metal in the strictest terms of the genre, but it still sounds pretty awesome
