Given the above options, it's a close choice between BTBAM and Mastodon. It seems like a weird categorization with the lumping of Pantera, Biohazard and Machine Head with some groups that formed 10+ years after them and are from a huge variety of different sub-genres. At least the NWOBHM bands are mainly "traditional" heavy metal.

I�ll just take this as a popularity contest and vote for High on Fire. I�ve been enjoying their music greatly in the last year or so.

Between the Buried and Me, though Avenged Sevenfold, Mastodon, and Disturbed are close.

I don't know half the bands on the list but have at least one album from each of the other half of artists. Has to be Mastodon as I have four of thier albums. TBH, this is first time I've heard of NWoAHM.

Heh; "Although the term is used by the media with increasing frequency, the definition has not been finished completely"
Having looked at the Wikipedia article, it seems the author doesn't have a clear idea of what he's trying to do, except to generate some publicity and self-promotion.
Humbug aside, I vote for Killswitch Engage.
I completely fail to see the link between them and Pantera...

System of a Down
Since they are my all time favorite band that wasn't too difficult  This is pretty much a popularity contest as, IMO, NWoAHM doesn't really exist as a style....I think it is some thrashy/core mix, would be the best way to describe it....if we had to |

Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Testament. The real Big Four of thrash metal!

^It's worth noting that NWoBHM isn't a style either, it's a huge spread of styles. However I'm not at all convinced by the notion of NWoAHM as a "Movement".
SOAD are great though, as are BTBaM... I feel like changing my mind on this one.
I'm in a Slipknot mood today

No it is not, but since that IS listed here I try to not bitch about it Agreed though, I see NWoAHM as even less of a movement. Really, it's pretty silly IMO. |

More than half of these bands are either metalcore or alternative metal. I thought it was New Wave of American HEAVY Metal! None of these sound like the British NWOBHM counterparts!

Aye, out of those I would label maybe Lamb of God, Machine Head and Pantera HWoAHM, because I thought that referred to the groove-thrash kind of thing |

I don't know anything about this 'movement' but I'll vote predictably and go BTBAM.

Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore. You can keep my reviews if you want.
