A new CNN.com article focuses on Cattle Decapitation and Napalm Death as serious music acts

CNN.com recently revealed an article focusing on the serious side of metal. The article, "Metal gets a makeover," discusses the political messages in music from metal bands Cattle Decapitation, Napalm Death, Six Feet Under, and Lamb of God, and even mentions the works of Mastadon and Nile for their fantastic imagery. The article also briefly touches on the transitions in metal from a more party-oriented genre to something that can now be taken seriously.

I think that this is a great article. If you read it it really shows that cnn is taking this story serious about the bands' lyrics and other content. More people need to realize that metal is not about screaming nonsense into the microphone, but actually getting a message across. I am glad that this story didn't bring up any slipknot or marilyn manson bullsh**. I think the best bands that come off as political are napalm death, misery index, and nasum. The best band for imagery is definitely nile.
