You could try Dir En Grey. They're not as heavy as some but they've got some decent material. Interestingly enough their video for Saku won viewer's choice for Best Metal Video 2006 on Headbanger's Ball beating out bands like Lamb Of God and even Iron Maiden.

Well the new maiden album is garbage by their standards, so it's no suprise.

But Dir En Grey?? They're like the Korn of J-nu metal *gags*

Stay away from "Dir En Grey" I just don't see how they won video of the year on the Nu Bangers Ball

Stay away from "Dir En Grey" I just don't see how they won video of the year on the Nu Bangers Ball then again Im not a fan of Mtv to begin with.. As for the Iron Maiden comment they don't make a garbage album never have never will they write epic music and if they did write a bad album which they wont there worst album would be miles ahead of any Dir En Grey music.

I mean there a damn pop band with insturments trying to hard to be diffrent which comes off as fake. Go with the bands Sigh and Sabat anything black or death metal is always good for the most part..

And for every Dragonfroce, Amon Amarth and Suffocation (Lamb of God is Questionable) that's played on Headbangers ball, there's a million COF's, Disturbeds and A7X. But at least the former bands are getting air play.

I'm not saying AMOLAD was garbage overall. On its own it's a solid album. But Compared to the glory of Numbers of the Beast, Powerslave and Piece of mind, and even BNW and Dance of Death it's a HUGE step down. Even their most hardcore fans think so. Not a single one was happy when they chose to perform the whole thing live, and in one of their last stops of the Life and Death Tour, they just about got booed off stage. Of course, that album is better than anything Dir en Grey has done, but that's not the point of the thread.

And for every Dragonfroce, Amon Amarth and Suffocation (Lamb of God is Questionable) that's played on Headbangers ball, there's a million COF's, Disturbeds and A7X. But at least the former bands are getting air play.

But again, that's veering off the topic.

Enough people voted for them, that's how. And I'd hardly call it "Nu Bangers Ball" considering that they show videos from Lamb Of God, Amon Amarth, and Suffocation among many others that are the farthest thing from nu-metal.

Trust me Lamb of God are Nu metal the be all end all of false fake metal. There a pop band. Now Amon and Suffocation is were the good stuff is at they can run laps around Lamb of God.
