Here's the deal, what metal band music evoke your feeling of masculine Manliness ?. I feel that it needs steadfast-stand in their music, less emotional, no depression, way more macho-extreme, no happy high epic, of course female fronted no room here, not too boring repetitive, lyric is manly way (of course a lot bands approve this point),...so power metal cant meet, Wintersun no, Manowar no, Slayer a bit boring, heavy metal too loud I cant pick one among them (just personally), black metal too extreme cold and most about religion (still personally), death metal I dont know much so please give me your choice, metalcore way too youthful rebel too noisy but I choose old Inflames even the new one also seems very manly... FInally I choose out bands of Manliness evoking the TOUGH way is Metallica (both music and lyric met), Anaal Nathrakh (music), Setherial (music), Inflames, Soilwork.

Best for me Macho Manliness band is Metallica (music and lyric approved). What about your choice ? based on your preference (lyric, music, or simply personal)
