System of a Down
I use to hate really fast metal bands, mainly because, IMHO, it is really hard to write melodic stuff when you are playing at that speed. But I have to say that I LOVE System of a Down. I never though it would be possible for a band to have a mix of modern heavy metal and classical music and make it work (e.g., as in the song 'question'). This band makes it work. I love the way the vocalist sings scales over the muted guitar riffs. He sounds like he has had some training in opera. Sabbath did a nice mix of heavy rock mix with a classical element in the Dio years (Heaven and Hell).
