I would have to say either Between The Buried And Me or The Dillinger Escape Plan. Although their first full studio album came out in 1999, I think they still count for this current decade.

Today's music is NOTHING compared to the music in the 80's and 90's.

Porcupine Tree or Converge. Neither of them formed in the 00s, but a lot of their material was released

Just because the debut of some great bands may have happened in a certain time period, doesn't mean there aren't great artists today carrying out these styles of writing and doing it well. They're just harder to find.

Maybe if you only focus on extremely mainstream music.

Anyway in my personal opinion it's either Between the Buried and me, or Converge.

Immolation. Close To A World Below, Unholy Cult, and Shadows In The Light are so full of win... If you want to restrict it solely to bands that formed in/released all their music in this decade...Ensiferum.

Why do people usually only refer to musicians as artists, and never authors or filmmakers, or even painters. Their musicians damnit, this topic title is misleading.

MasterC5

100 percent agreed. It's such an absrasive album, dynamic, emotional album. I really love everything about it. Only blemish is that I really can't understand what Bannon is screaming half the time. It's a shame, because I love his vocals :P

You know, I bought Jane doe about two months ago and gave it a few listens. I just couldn't really get into it. I mean, don't get me wrong, it was pretty good. But it just didn't really click with me. Saying that, I think the Dillinger Escape Plan are better than Converge.

Yeah sometimes converge is really difficult for people to get into. Also The Dillinger Escape Plan are awesome, can't wait for the new album.

With a lot of albums( such as Jane Doe) it spontaneously clicks. It happened with me when I finally listened to it in lossless quality while under the influence of a certain herb. It really clicked when I heard the main riff in "Bitter and then Some". I went back to the album the next day and I just fell in love with it. I used to be really into Dillinger Escape Plan. Own Ire Works and Miss Machine CDs. They don't effect me emotionally though. A lot of their riffs and interplay I think "wow this is really awesome", but it eventually gets boring. It's technical, but something feels like it's missing. That said I haven't listened to them for a while. After writing out this post, I'll probably listen to Ire Works or Miss Machine again :P

You know, Protest The Hero are still one of my favorite bands, but my love for them has worn off a little bit. After listening to both Kezia and Fortress so much, I kinda took a break from their music. More recently though, I have gotten back into it. Although one thing I will say bad about the band is that they are not so great live.

Their 3rd album this year was the best they have done. I hope they do more. I don't how long the story in the albums lasts though.

Bad show maybe? the only time I saw them was one of the best conerts I've ever been to.
