Are there any acts out there today that do the traditional heavy metal sound of the 1970s and 80s? You know Sabbath, Judas Priest, Dio, that kind of thing. I guess Metallica kind of killed the idea that metal could sound good IMO.

I think Dream Theater Opeth lean towards progressive metal.

Check out Brendon Small's Galaktikon.

DT more than leans toward prog metal. I have all their albums up until 6 Degrees of Inner Turbulence so I'm not too sure about what they are now.

Saw them live once with Satriani, good show.

Pick up The Crusade by Trivium. It's the album Metallica should've made after AJFA. Matt Heafy out-Hetfields Hetfield.

I'm not sure what the hell this is or how I ever stumbled upon it.

The groups name is Baroness. Their older stuff had a non-rainbow dio-ish vibe to it but their voices are shit. This is newer and sounds more like they wanted to be a darker harder version of Queens of the Stone age. I fear they might have went all in on a hipster metal movement.

This video looks like Dio made it in 1983. Its not bad until they start singing.

Baroness' blue and red albums are really good, but I would avoid the green and yellow albums.

For those who like Dream Theater, here are some similar bands with interesting stuff:

Circus Maximus (try Glory of the Empire)
Symphony X (try Accolade II)
Seventh Wonder (try The Great Escape)

By the way, anyone heard the new Rush album? I haven't gotten around to it yet so I'm curious whether it's just more of the same from their modern sound. It's funny, but Geddy's voice was always a point of ridicule....but now that he's singing an octave lower, I long for the banshee-wail voice.
