Lamb Of God for sure. Tough to top them.
Havok is awesome.

Just off the top of my head. I’m sure there’s more I would include that I’m not thinking of but gotta get in the shower and get ready for my son’s graduation.

Crowbar technically started in 1988 though not under that name.


My list would be Mastodon, Dying Fetus, Lamb of God, and Down.

Since Tool is being nominated and are not exactly metal, allow me to nominate Sevendust.

Opeth formed in the 80s


From the official Opeth website biography :
quote:

Since forming in the tiny Stockholm suburb of Bandhagen in 1990, the Swedes have eclipsed convention, defiantly crushed the odds, and, most importantly, crafted 12 stunningly beautiful, intrinsically intense albums to become one of the best bands on the planet


I would personally go by the date of their debut album, Orchid, in 1995.


Btw, I’m not your downvoter.

Official website says otherwise. LINK

That’s why I said I would personally go with their debut album from 1995.

Considering that Meshuggah didn’t formally release anything until 1991, it feels bizarre not to classify them as a post-1990 band.
