masses welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top ten modern metal and hard rock
bands this list we’ve chosen bands that
have been thrashing shredding it up and
continuing to be successful in the 21st
century unfortunately this means bands
like Pantera and Rage Against the
Machine are out in terms of their age
whereas bands like Dream Theater don’t
fit into the category of metal we’re
looking for
number 10 tool
we start off with a band that got more
experimental as the years went on
originally grounded in heavy metal tool
followed in the wake of the alternative
metal movement with their next albums
incorporating styles like psychedelic
and art rock
gaining what many are calling a cult
following with songs like vicarious and
parabola pool has more than earned their
spot on our list
number nine course
one of the modern Giants of new metal
corn has been going strong for more than
two decades now
two albums that top the Billboard 200 as
well as two Grammy Awards under their
belts the band has continuously produced
dark vulgar but nonetheless incredible
hard rock and alternative metal tracks
no one will be forgetting songs like
freak on a leash and here to stay in a
hurry
number eight Godsmack
they’ve torn it up at Ozzfest sold over
20 million albums worldwide and are no
strangers to the top of the Billboard
200
over me as one of the most successful
hard rock fans in the United States
Godsmack has managed to stand its ground
over the years and let loose some killer
trucks I stand alone remains one of
their most iconic and thrilling songs
and for some the best part about the
Scorpion King movie
number seven Lamb of God
part of the new wave of American heavy
metal this band has brought satirical
and political commentary to the
mainstream in the form of pulse-pounding
groove metal
albums like ashes of the wake and
sacrament managed to propel Lamb of God
forward into the hearts of fans and
critics alike
not only is their music heavy it’s also
deadly in its precision
number six Rammstein
you don’t see many European bands
hitting the heavy-metal mainstream yet
this German band has done just that
Rammstein is an only famous for creating
successful heavy-metal songs in their
own language but also for their killer
live shows which always come equipped
with pyrotechnics
songs like sauna and du hast with added
flamethrowers talk about win-win
number five Linkin Park it starts with I
don’t know why they’ve been voted as one
of the greatest artists of the 2000s
have won multiple Grammys and are always
finding new elements to implement into
their sound
starting out with a combination of new
metal and rap rock the band has found a
way to stay relevant and successful by
experimenting with other genres
including electronic sounds on their
later album what is that
for chart-topping records clearly Linkin
Park is doing something right
number four disturbed
four of their albums have debuted at
number one on the Billboard 200
so what does that tell you
with intense shredding blended with
powerful yet melodic vocals disturbed
managed to skyrocket themselves to
startup becoming one of modern metals
greatest with varying yet equally potent
lyrics ranging from real-world conflicts
to dark fantasy get the fucker down
this band makes us want to get down with
the sickness
number three Avenged Sevenfold
your that
that’s the unmistakable sound of em
shadows and the rest of a motley crew
that make up Avenged Sevenfold
stolen
about that
starting off with a metalcore sound the
band soon evolved into the hard rock
group we know and love
with massive hits like nightmare and
almost easy it’s not hard to see why
they’ve won so many golden God awards
besides any band that prides itself on
heavy sounds and can still sing country
has got to make this list
number two Slipknot
and heavy-metal terms when you think of
nine band members masks and maggots
there’s only one group that comes to
mind
with a multitude of instruments that
range from standard percussion to
turntables
along with an aggressive lyrical style
that fans can’t help but mosh to
if not is truly the definition of chaos
in heavy metal and we love it
before our number one pick let’s lose
some killer sounds there are a few
honorable mentions
but you say
number one System of a Down
with an unmistakable sound vocals that
reach unbelievable heights and lyrics
that focus on the darker side of human
nature System of a Down has truly left
their mark in metal songs like BYOB
aerials and chop suey displaying varied
puzzling
yet incredible arrangements it’s no
wonder this Armenian American band has
managed to become such heavyweights in
the industry
