Been to Wacken recently and a friend and I were discussing what could be seen as the biggest name in metal currently.
Since we're "old", we could only come up with yesteryears titans.

Are there any more recent names that currently dominate the industry? Get played on day to day radio like our childhood bands did?

I can kinda see that! I do enjoy when things feel handmade still. In the same vein, I was listening to Unhallowed Deliverance recently and while their stuff is absolutely down my alley, on several songs the bass sounds straight up MIDI. Cant explain it any other way but now I cant unhear it.

Lorna Shore were fantastic live btw, saw them in a medium / smallish venue and that was so much more visceral than on the records.

Btw ended up listening to Accept from further back but as with the stadium shows, it was too far away to "feel live" if that makes sense. From a certain distance people also dont cheer or clap and vibe anymore so im just standing in this slient crowd away from a great party

Oh I'm sure the 'core bands are much better live than recorded - I haven't had chance to see LS yet but I will if they head over here.

Yeah, your comment about standing in a silent crowd watching a great party from a distance is exactly how I feel about stadium shows.
