Point two. The fact the anybody that talks about metallica being mainstream and are therefore gay, shouldn't be listening to metal period. Every metal, emo(Gay), blackmetal (Gay), and Deathmetal band of the last 15 years was inspired by Metallica. With the exception of Cradle.. but they suck anyway.

Please tell me HOW Metallica inspired bands like Samael (Black Metal), Kill Hannah (Emo), and Lacuna Coil (Metal)?

I'm almost finished listening to Bauhaus' "In the Flat Field" album, then I'm heading to YouTube to switch to something else.

Pantera came before metallica, and Judas Priest before that, and Iron Maiden

Those three bands influenced more people, including metallica, dont be a dumbass

Older labels I've had the most luck I've had with recently are: Midnight Music, C'est La Mort, and L'Invitation Au Suicide. You might also get some luck picking up some old BBC radio samplers; anything that's been tagged by John Peel or Janice Long is going to have a great chance of being worthwhile.

New stuff is harder to pin down. Obviously, Strobelight and In the Night Time are great new deathrock labels. You may also want to check for lineups at Drop Dead Festival and the How To Destroy The Universe festival. Also, keep mindful of what scenes are most active, and look for post-punk, deathrock, post industrial, or noise / experimental bands from any of the more active scenes. CA and Italy are good places to look.

The rest I tend to find thanks to friends who are DJs and vinyl collectors, as well as things I manage to find that look appealing in different, more credible magazines. Unscene Magazine and Drop Dead Magazine are both good current publications.

Also, try to keep an eye on new things from Middle Pillar and Projekt (when it happens).

Hope that helps!

Projekt I was all too aware of. Dancing Ferrit Discs was another, but I find them to lean a lil' too much to the poppy side for my tastes. Except for CXS of course. The other things you mentioned... thanks a bunch. These I had no idea about.
