If you can't kill 'em all... join 'em
A new crop of heavy metal bands have sprouted over the past couple years, and here's just a sample of some of the loudest to lay claim to the new throne of HEAVY. They have their own underground and indie labels (Relapse, Hydra Head, Level Plane, more) so get used to them.
Some on this list might not agree with their placement, but they all have in common Black Sabbath, even if they sound and go about it in very different ways.
