All That Remains.

All that remains is a Metal band. They do a lot of soft singing but sometimes they do screaming. This is what makes them a pretty epic sounding band. His soft voice is great and when he screams it isn't death metal screaming but it would be considered that. Another great thing about all that remains is that all of their songs do not sound the same. They all sound relatively different. Some are quite soft for example "This Calling" and some are in the middle like "Not Alone" and some are just somewhat hard metal like "Chiron". Overall they are an amazing band.
Pros: Tons of variety, great singer, a band where you like every song they make.
Cons: Screaming is not for everyone, and some people also dislike the soft metal.
Overall Score 9.5/10

Korn

Today the band I will be reviewing is Korn. Korn is a very strange but a great band. There main singer Jonathan Davis makes the band very unique. He does many types of singing. He screams, he sings softly, he sometimes mimics crying and even sometimes he does these weird voices to create a freaky type of music. One of the reasons Korn is a very successful band is because of how different they are. When they combine all the different weird things they do and put it together they create some awesome music. Unfortunately since they are so diverse some of there songs sound completely different then others, even genre wise. Some of there songs are metal and some are so different that they should have their own category. This band has a lot of fans that only like some of there songs unlike most bands where the fans like most of their songs. Overall Korn is a pretty darn good band. There diversity in music makes them a hell of a band. I give them a 7.5/10.
Pros: Unique, good singer fun bands
Cons: Some songs are very strange and some songs are so completely different than the rest.

System Of A Down

Today I will be reviewing one of my favorite metal bands System Of A Down. They have been my favorite band for many years now for a few reasons. In the band the lead singer is Serj Tankian. He makes the band very diverse and unique. His voice is like non other and his styles aswell. Also their second vocalist/Guitarist Daron Malakian is a good singer and also has a very unique voice. Now shavo Odadjian and John Dolmayan are just great at their roles (bass and drums) but Serj and Daron make the band unique and great as it is. One of their most popular songs is BYOB. Not only is this song amazing for its great sound but also its lyrics. That is why it was a top hit for a while. All of System Of A Down's songs are unique, they sound great, and also the lyrics are meaningful(most of the time). They are also a fun band that plays some pretty funny/ fun songs and really put on a great show live. This is why I believe they are a great band.
On a scale I would rate them a 9.5/10.
The pros being: Good lyrics, great stage presence, sound great, insanely unique and just fun people/band.
The cons would be some of their songs are kind of weird and might not entertain all people due to how different they are.
