American: Death: (very complex musically, lyrically political and somewhat introspective) guitarist Chuck Schuldner (r.i.p.) was considered to be one of the godfathers of modern death metal
Nile: detuned guitars w/keyboards very heavy, deals mostly with ancient Egyptian themes Deceased: old school blast beat death, DC locals made good. World Wide: Opeth: this is one of my favorites, heavy spooky atmospheric music, mix of clean and death vocals. Lyrically they touch on "otherwordly" subjects without diving off the deep end into satanic lyrics (this is the big turn off for me when it comes to death bands, the Satanism schtick is so tired and old). Mercenary: Mix of clean and "deathy (the guy can scream in key?)" vocals over detuned heavy music, this is also a favorite. Obituary: Can't comment on the lyrics, 'cause I can't understand a word he says, death vocals with a heavy Swedish accent are unintelligible. Fantastic musicianship makes up for it. Arch Enemy, death metal with a female singer/growler Into Eternity, from Jillian's neck of the Great White North. Complex fast heavy music, with clean and death vocals and vocal harmonies. Again, incredible musicians. There are a slew of hokey death metal bands that write simplistic 100,000MPH Songs with either gore based or satanic based lyrics, pretty lame for the most part Scott A.

These three bands are ok but not for this purpose. A) must annoy sister B) Must be American, it's my responsibility as the evil expatriate aunt to infect these kids with American cooties doncha know, and Coldplay is definitely British. C) Above all, must be something not on the radio in Ottawa, and some of these might have made the soft-rock station. I dunno about Sakatoon, Jill, but it Ottawa there are the French stations, the top-40 stations, a college station and possibly a soft-rock station. I *know* nobody was playing Eminem, for example. I'm looking for something more like the latest hip-hip, or yes, possibly death metal. But GOOD, and I am not sure what that would be in those genres as I mostly listen to alt-rock. I am working my way through the rest of the responses. Thank you to everyone who has given this some thought. Dana On 12/11/05, Erika L.
