Rise Against used to be the soundtrack to a revolution. Now they're the soundtrack to your little sister's sweet 16 party.
I somewhat agree.
Yeah, they've gone pretty mainstream with their most recent album, BUT, they've stayed true to what they believe in. But whatever, this is a thread about death metal.
I started listening to Death Metal in the late 80's when I discovered Cannibal Corpse and Black Flag and shit. I gotta say, it's enjoyable if you feel pissed off already. Folk Metal, now I gotta check that out, never heard of it before today.
Black Flag wasn't death metal. They were hardcore punk.
