I don’t often do this, but here’s a list of some (mostly) newer CDs I just got my hands on I’d like to recommend.

Trapt  
All Systems Go: Mon Chi Chi  
Seether: Disclaimer  
Stone Sour: Stone Sour

a little older, but worth a listen:

Evanescence: Fallen  
Sparta: Wiretap scars  
Flaw: Through the eyes  
Spineshank: Stricly diesel  
RA: From one

_Fallen_ is a great album. I look forward to what Evanescence does next.

You should check out Into Eternity’s _Dead Or Dreaming_. It’s a great metal album, with a somewhat similar style to what you like. It could be very popular here, if it got a chance.

I like the Trapt, Seether and Stone Sour CDs mentioned in the OP. Audioslave’s CD is pretty good, too.

I love Evanescence’s _Bring Me to Life_. My husband said they sound like Linkin Park but with a woman. I laughed.

Shite, I forgot to mention I _love_ Chevelle’s latest offering, too. It rocks.

I was introduced to them as “Linkin Park meets Sarah McLaughlin”.

I have Audioslave and Chevelle’s latest ones too.

For the really, crazy heavy crowd I offer:

Murderdolls & Flybanger.

I see “Kittie” on my shelf but don’t honestly remember it. I’ll have ot give it a go again…

The new Chimaira is pretty good.

I don’t know about Flybanger, but I heard a Murderdolls song once. I guess it’s as heavy as anything that gets airplay.

For the _really_ heavy stuff, check out Bolt Thrower, Nile, and Dillinger Escape Plan.

I’ll put in another vote for _Evanescence_. I listen to this cd on the way home from work.

Murderdolls is pretty heavy thematically. The music I would put on par with your standard heavy metal.

Flybanger is a little closer to your Slipknot.

I recommend AFI’s **Sing the Sorrow.** Even though no one in the mainstream has heard of them, it debuted at #5 or so on the Billboard charts because the fans are so… fanatic. We bought like 3 copies each. Feel the love!

And man, I’ve never heard Evanescence, but I already hate them based on the above description(s).;j
