Regarding Epidemia, I disagree. Firstly, they've been around for over 10 years, and secondly, their songs are more like fairy tales. Aria has more serious themes, although I haven't listened to all of Epidemia's songs, so maybe they have some non-fairy tale tracks. Besides, there are many other quite "old" bands that still release albums and so on. There aren't as many newcomers as before, but it's a different time now... P.S. My favorite bands are Therion, Iron Maiden, and probably Aria.
Отдай свои прошлые сны, В сомненьях себя обрети, В бешеном танце душа кружится! Не думай, что будет потом, Здесь и сейчас мы живем, Стань хоть на миг сам собой, слышишь!
From the older bands, I really like the super rare "Skoraya Pomoshch," the lead singer has an amazing voice. And recently, I discovered the Russian band Holy Dragons. It seems like there's only one or two of their songs available online. I have all 6. And in general, there are a lot of cool Russian metal bands, both old and new. Here are 2 songs to get you acquainted.
И страхи стали реальностью,а боль и страдания - наградой.Хотя и не благословенным началом,все готовятся к последнему СУДУ! Днём и ночью от наших тел,можно слышать крики боли,из-за накопленных нашими душами грехов...

They've been around for quite a while now, but their producer is still Holstinin))) And they record at ARIARECORDS. Their songs are good. I have to admit that Aria with Kipelov was my favorite band, but I didn't like it as much with Berkut, but after watching a concert, I immediately gained respect for them. Maybe because Holstinin has the same guitar as me?))) I agree about Iron Maiden - it's awesome. P.S. The latest albums are almost always worse than the old ones.

Well, what can I say... metal rules. It always has and always will. I've been listening to it since 7th grade and have never doubted it... I started with Metallica, Nightwish, and DarkMoor. I also like Epidemia. From Russian bands, I also listen to Catharsis, Aria, Kipelov, and Mavrik. Alternative: Amatory, Rashamba. By the way, as my friend Stardown told me, they are also a Russian band:D.
In general, there's nothing to discuss here – metal is still alive! This is evident in the emergence of many young bands, which are quite successful: Arda, Kharisma, Holy Dragons, Nevid'. Well, Epidemia can no longer be called a young band, but nevertheless. And the masters are still alive – Kipelov, Alisa, Aria, CHO. Is Master still around? Does anyone know? And I won't even talk about foreign bands. There's a sea of quality metal there.

As I understand it, the topic was created to find out: "Are there any metalheads left? Because everywhere you look, there are just strange creatures in incomprehensible T-shirts." It's simply that the time has passed when the main focus was on appearance, and wannabes wanted to shock ordinary people with their created image. I think a green mohawk or a red star on your head won't surprise anyone anymore – if you watch TV during stupid concerts, you'll see "individuals" with "icicles" (for those who don't know, "icicles" is the hairstyle of Gorshok from Korol i Shut, and earlier, one of the musicians from the band Purgen had a similar hairstyle). Today, you can easily not notice a modern metalhead in a crowd; and it's not that everyone has gotten used to it, it's just that metalheads have started dressing differently (for example, about 7 years ago, I was walking down the street in combat boots, ripped blue jeans with chains and patches, in a leather jacket (covered in studs, pins, chains, and badges), with a mohawk on my head), and when I passed two women with strollers, one said to the other (I still remember these words): "God forbid my son grows up to be like that." Now I look completely different (pants, shirts, I cut my hair 3.5 years ago). But I haven't stopped listening to metal; in fact, I've moved on to heavier, darker music. P.S. It doesn't matter what a person looks like; what matters is what they think and do.

O_o)) Awesome, is there anyone else who's seen this cool cartoon:p. And it was even cooler when Murderface played a guitar solo with his genitals, that was just super:p)). Damn, I also want to be such a cool rocker, but I won't be able to play anything with my genitals)). And to your quote, here's another quote: "Nothing is more metal in life" (c) Pickles - the great philosopher))

In my opinion, those who adorn themselves with chains, leather, and all sorts of trinkets are just trying to show off, saying, "Look, I'm a metalhead, I'm cool." To love good music, it's not necessary to make yourself, excuse me, a peacock that everyone will pay attention to. I've never been into that kind of nonsense. And I've been listening to metal for about 7 years.
Metal will never die – just like classical music, it will live forever – it's such complex, beautiful music that gives you chills. Sometimes, when you listen to something new on good acoustics, it sends shivers down your spine... it just can't die. But not all of it, of course – lately, there's been a lot of garbage that's being called metal. That kind definitely won't survive.
To enjoy good music, you don't need to turn yourself into, excuse me, a peacock that everyone will pay attention to.
You're right ;)
And to the question in the topic, I'll answer like this: "Metal is dead" is a silly notion floating around, and where do you even get these ideas from? :)
I have just one question that bothers me: have many truly great metal bands emerged in the 21st century? I don't know of any (although, my horizons are quite limited; point me in the right direction if there are any). And how many appeared in the 70s-90s? Please name at least one newly formed metal band that has achieved worldwide fame in just a few years, like the giants Black Sabbath, Metallica, Iron Maiden... But please don't give examples of all these modern mixes of metal with rap, etc. You can love the music (I listen to some myself), but it's still something different ;) It's too early to talk about the death of metal (many old bands are still successfully selling new albums and touring), but the fact that the musical genre is currently experiencing a decline under the "pressure" of more popular rap, hip-hop, and R'n'B is a depressing fact for fans of heavy music. However, this doesn't prevent us from listening to what has already been recorded, and a lot has been recorded...
O God of Earth and Altar, Bow down and hear our cry, Our earthly rulers falter, Our people drift and die, The walls of gold entomb us, The swords of scorn divide, Take not thy thunder from us, Take away our pride.
