    i think Slayer - Raining blood is a pretty good example of heavy,


    especially that long triplet riff after the intro.

    thats some real chuggin' stuff - as kerry king puts it.

    For (semi)slow and plodding, I'd lean toward my favorite sludge metal band, Mastodon. "Iron Tusk" gets nice N heavy at 1:30 into the song.

    Hey, that's Fredrik, my old pal from back home! We used to jam a lot back in the day. Meshuggah sure chews and grinds pretty good.

    I'm quite fond of Mastodon, especially "Blood Mountain". I love the way the drums kick off that album. It reminds me of the SFX they used for the cars on The Flintstones

    Robert, Umea seems to be a breeding ground for metal talent. Is it a small rural town?

    Umea has about 75,000 people. Lots of heavy bands from there, yep. My old home... I am going back for a visit next year.
