Basically Title.
Been to Wacken recently and a friend and I were discussing what could be seen as the biggest name in metal currently.
Since we’re “old”, we could only come up with yesteryears titans.
Are there any more recent names that currently dominate the industry? Get played on day to day radio like our childhood bands did?
The answer is Metallica and anyone who claims otherwise is failing to see the forest for the trees. A lot of the bands people are listing in this thread are virtually unheard of outside of metal fans, and while I’m sure most here would agree they are better or that you would be more excited to see them than something more mainstream - Everyone knows Metallica.
