Worst Metal Bands of All Time

The Top Ten
1 Limp Bizkit Limp Bizkit is an American nu-metal/rap metal/rock band from Jacksonville, Florida, formed in 1994. Their lineup consists of Fred Durst, Sam Rivers, John Otto, and Wes Borland. They're mostly known for their singles like Break Stuff, My Way, My Generation, Nookie, Eat You Alive, Rollin', and Take a Look Around... read more

Limp Bizkit sucks. We all know it. Even they themselves do. They were already hated back then by nu-metal fans who felt like they had turned it into a shallow and incorrect caricature that we all know it for.

If we're being honest, if the title of this list were "Most Overrated Metal Bands" instead of what it is, it'd make a lot more sense. A lot of these bands aren't even bad, it's just that a lot of purists think they are because they're popular. Bands like Limp Bizkit and Babymetal are fun to listen to, Linkin Park has a lot of solid albums, BMTH aren't even a metal band anymore, and when they were, their music wasn't bad. Bands like AA, Emmure, and Attila are just geared toward a different demographic, but each of them have at one point or another released enjoyable music. Even 5FDP, who I can't stand anymore, have released enjoyable music at one point.

I hate this band so much, but not for any crazy reason that you would typically find on this website, I only hate this band cause it always feels like they put 0% of effort into their performance. The lead singer is just embarrassingly awful in his singing, their lyrics can be summed up with just the words uninspired and immature, plus the fact that they single-handedly ruined the Nu Metal genre for me. I used to feel as though I was alone with my distaste for their music, so seeing them at #1 was very reassuring on my stance.

2 Bring Me the Horizon Bring Me the Horizon is a British rock band from Sheffield, Yorkshire. Formed in 2004, the group currently consists of vocalist Oliver Sykes, guitarist Lee Malia, bassist Matt Kean, drummer Matt Nicholls, and keyboardist Jordan Fish. They are signed to RCA Records globally and Columbia Records exclusively in the US. The style of their early work, including their debut album Count Your Blessings, has... read more

I don't mind the music as much as I hate the band in general. For one they all are in it because they wanted to be famous. The second this is the lead singer, Oliver Sykes, basically came out as being a former drug addict, but then in a interview not too long after that he stated that he didn't regret doing drugs, and he said that everyone should do drugs in some point in their lives. I used to occasionally listen to their music, but after that I've gone completely off them. I don't find how people would want to support someone who says everyone should try drugs at some point in their lives. Marilyn Manson almost had his complete career destroyed after being blamed for a school shooting that he was in no way responsible for the boys behaviour, yet some lead singer of a "metal" band can come out, tell millions of his fans that they should try drugs and people couldn't give two cents? Do you realize how many of his teenage fans would've then thought it would've been ok to go and try drugs? Honestly, this pisses me off so much. Bring Me the Horizon is a band with bad morals, and Oliver Sykes is stupid.

3 Asking Alexandria Asking Alexandria are an English metalcore band from York, North Yorkshire formed initially in 2008 by lead guitarist Ben Bruce along with former lead singer Danny Worsnop, bassist Joe Lancaster, keyboardist and synth player Ryan Binns, and current members drummer James Cassells and rhythm guitarist Cameron Liddell. Lancaster and Binns later departed from the band in 2009 with Lancaster joining heavy... read more

According to other commenters, they improved, but they really gave a horrible name to metalcore and they are just unbelievably embarasing and pathetic.

Terrible terrible band. Bands like this are why Metalcore gets a bad image. Grating screamed vocals that sound like an emo kid trying to be "br00tal" and whiny clean vocals that sound like they belong in a Fall Out Boy song.
The instrumentals are better than the vocals but they still consist of generic breakdowns a lot of times.

If you really think about it (and actually LISTEN to their music) these guys are actually pretty good. (except for their first album, which is terrible) You can't deny how unique of a voice Danny Worsnop has. Otherwise, they're just a good metalcore band.

4 Attila Attila is an American metalcore band from Atlanta, Georgia, formed in 2005. Frontman Chris Fronzak started the band in high school and, not wanting to use typical death metal terms, adopted the name from Attila the Hun, which he came across in a book.

Admittedly I do enjoy some deathcore (such as Whitechapel, Acacia Strain and Carnifex) But Attila is just utter trash! Their lyrics and song titles are worse than what Slam Death Metal bands come up with, and that's saying something!

I might just quit my job, and make it my full time profession warning people against this band. They are so bad, the have the potential to ruin music forever. Even the earliest tribal beats, the music of Motzart, the sounds of the Beatles, will all be eclipsed under the umbrella term of music - that thing that Attila ruined, and no one wants to hear sounds anymore. A whole planet of people who tore their own ears off just for the sweet silence.

This band is a disgrace to metal. It currently sits 15th, whilst Marilyn Manson, one of my favourite band sits 6th. What is wrong with you people? You clearly do not understand what good and bad music is if you put Marilyn Manson as a worse metal band than Attila. Attila is literally garbage, some of the worst music I've ever heard in my life.

5 Marilyn Manson Marilyn Manson is an American rock band from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Formed in 1989 by frontman Marilyn Manson and Daisy Berkowitz, the group was originally named Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids with their theatrical performances gathering a local cult following in the early 1990s.

The name of the band comes from famous sex symbol Marilyn Monroe and famous criminal Charles Manson. Manson... read more

The only reason I am voting for marilyn manson is because they should not even be on this list. They arn't metal, they have even said so themselves. They are shock rock not metal so they don't belong hear. As for myself, I am actualy a fan of marilyn manson, of all pop mucisians out there, I think the lead singer, brian Warner's lyrics have the most meaning to them. I also like how he is not afraid to be unique but he doesn't do things just to get attention. (Most people I know have never heard of him) so yeah, they are the worst metal band because they are'nt metal.

Shouldn't even be on this list, let alone at number 6. Yeah, his looks are strange and ugly but his music is kickass. Just listen to Coma White or I Don't Like The Drugs But The Drugs Like Me. Yes, he might rely too much on shock value, but you can't deny that he is very talented. Just listen to the song Last Day On Earth, one of his more emotional, less edgy and more underrated songs which demonstrates that he does indeed have talent.

6 Emmure Emmure is an American metalcore band formed in 2003. Originally based in New Fairfield, Connecticut, but now residing in Queens, New York, the group has a total of seven releases, with their first public release being a 2006 EP entitled The Complete Guide to Needlework.

Why is Judas Priest on this list? Anyway Emmure blah! I like Nu metal, I like some death metal, and even viking metal but I can't stomach whatever the hell kind of metal emmure supposedly is. They are not good the singer barely does anything but says blaah for like 2 minutes says a word then blaah again... I just saved you a whole Emmure ticket. I mean in death metal there are some crazy weird growls but they play real instruments instead of a stupid computer or whatever they use in emmure. They are just a bad band! Well maybe not in this day and age because these days less real instruments you play the better a muscian you are. Makes a lot of sense right? Thanks Emmure for destrying whatever metal we have left

They aren't that bad, actually. I get it, their songs aren't exactly the most creative or technical or whatever and I get that many "metalheads" are annoyed by the constant breakdowns and that their frontman looks like a swaggot, but I find some of their songs rather catchy. Take this from a guy who listens to EVERYTHING from alt metal to black metal & death metal, Emmure aren't as bad as everyone says

7 Babymetal Babymetal is a Japanese metal idol band. Their line-up consists of Suzuka Nakamoto as "Su-metal", Yui Mizuno as "Yuimetal", and Moa Kikuchi as "Moametal".

So it isn't what is expected of metal. Big deal. I don't see J-pop as very radio-friendly. It doesn't appeal to everyone. I don't care for all of there material, but I like a few of their songs from their debut. But Metal Resistnce is one of my favorites from 2016. Also, even if you don't consider it metal, why the hell is that a reason to hate a group. Opening for Lady Gaga was an idea from the producers who represent them. Even if it is a marketing plan, it doesn't sound plastic like the top 40 does. The backing musicians and the talented vocals of Su prevent that. There new album is more metal anyway. The three girls themselves have contributed to some of the materials writing process. I think that is is sort of a gimmick, but a bit more than one. The man who writes the majority of the material seems to enjoy what he writes, as well as even helping the three get into metal. There seems to be more music involved. I think that the hate that surrounds Babymetal is ridiculous.

8 Linkin Park Linkin Park is an American alternative rock band formed in Agoura Hills, California, in 1996. The current members include Mike Shinoda (vocals, keyboards, rhythm guitar), Brad Delson (guitar), Dave "Phoenix" Farrell (bass), Joe Hahn (DJ), and Rob Bourdon (drums). Linkin Park is associated with a mixture of alternative rock, hip hop, and techno. Some of their influences include Nine Inch Nails, Deftones,... read more

Yes, Linkin Park is no longer metal, but they still SUCK. They always have, when they were "metal", they SUCKED, and now when they're not, they still do. Complete trenders and sellouts, making music only when its trendy and popular. If classic musical was popular at the time, they would be doing classical. Not to mention they look like complete moronic chromosome-lacking imbeciles. After BVB and 1Erection worst band in the galaxy.

Heavy metal at its worst. Want good music, listen to Arctic Monkeys, Blur, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Pink Floyd, the Police, the Who, Oasis, Queen, Bloc Party, Radiohead, the 1975, Pixies, Duran Duran, Pearl Jam, and even Coldplay.

The Most Over-rated Band Of All Time. Yeah, Linkin park is good enough to listen to, but they're not AWESOME, INCREDIBLE or something. Eventually they become BORING, and you can't listen to them anymore. Soulfly and Fear Factory aren't boring, one can listen to their music again and again. People go crazy about Linkin Park, but there's really no reason for this.

9 Five Finger Death Punch Five Finger Death Punch, often shortened to Five Finger or Death Punch, also abbreviated as 5FDP or FFDP, is an American metal band from Las Vegas, Nevada. Formed in 2005, the band's name comes from the kung fu movie The Five Fingers of Death.

Butt-rock for whiny try-hard man-children. Every riff is the same, the lyrics sound like they were written by an edgy middle schooler attempting to do a one-sided rap battle, every musician involved is so unbelievably weak and being "patriotic" is about the most un-metal thing I can think of. They are the worst metal band of all time, definitely in the top 5 worst rock bands of all time and up there for worst band of all time across all genres. How a nu-metal band is making a profit after 2010 I will never understand.

When I first heard them a few years ago, I actually kinda liked it. But then I realized that was kinda the point. 5FDP's music is made-for-radio, lyrically unimaginative crap that draws from every stereotype of metal and utilizes heavy production. The Maroon 5 of metal. If you want real metal bands with a similar sound (but much better lyrics and more technicality) then listen to Demon Hunter and Gemini Syndrome. Also, here's a lyrical comparison of this band with a much better one.

Of Mice & Men - Second & Sebring:

Come back so I can say thank you for this
Home cooked meals and a place to rest
My troubled head when you're away
I've passed the test, I've earned an A
Not just in school, but in life
You'll always be right by my side
To help me show, hope to all
That are lost and sick in this dying world
I'll use the love you left behind
I'll change their mind, I'll change their mind
I hope, I hope you smile
When you look down on me
I hope you smile

Message: For the singer's dead mother.

Five Finger Death Punch - Mama Said Knock You Out:

Don't call it a comeback
I been here for years
Rocking my peers
Putting suckers in fear
Making the tears rain down like a monsoon
Listen to the bass go bomb
Explosion, overpowering
Over the competition, we're towering
Record? Shock
When I drop these lyrics that'll make you call them cops (what)
Don't you dare stare,
You better move (move)
Don't ever compare us
To the rest that are all get sliced and diced
Competition paying our price

Message: A white dude trying to be gangsta rapping over the unmistakable sound of over-produced "metal".

10 Deicide Deicide is an American death metal band formed in 1987 by bassist and vocalist Glen Benton and drummer Steve Asheim. They are known for their blasphemous and satanic lyrics which have resulted in bans, lawsuits and criticisms from religious groups and the public. Frontman Glen Benton is also known for being a theistic satanist, even going as far as to repeatedly branding an inverted cross into his... read more

I hate Deicide. And no, its not about them hating on religion as much as its more about how this band operates. Influential? Yeah well, so was Death, Obituary, Cannibal Corpse and Morbid Angel, who are better.

Also, their music just falls flat for me and the vocals are wholly a miss for me. But my biggest issue with Deicide is the frontman, Glen Benton himself. Glen IS the band after all, and he's the reason why Deicide is terrible. He done absolutely nothing to either reinvent or innovate the band and there's nothing new to them, the lyrics are a copy-paste from one previous album after another.

I don't care if you hate Christianity and worship Satan, but at least I'd like to expect some degree of maturity and change, especially for a band that's been active for nearly 30 years.

I'm not religious or anything but I can easily say that Deicide is literally the Three Days Grace of death metal. I know it's a weird comparison but think about it. Both bands have angsty songs with almost no diversity in the music or lyrics and have been writing the same stuff for many years now. The only difference between them and TDG is that TDG isn't satanic and actually has some pretty nice members (Glen Benton is known to be a douchebag, but he is a satanist so what else would you expect? ).

The Contenders
11 Design the Skyline

Quite possibly the band with the least structure in all of popular music. The electronic tracks are the only highlights of their one album, and even they are so uninteresting by instrumental standards.

Their music is enjoyable, given my taste in humor for bad songs. Design the Skyline is obviously not good, but its fun to get a chuckle out of listening to "Surrounded by Silence" at some point.

Bands like this are why Metalcore and Deathcore get a bad reputation. This band is literally just just emos and scene trying to be brutal.

12 Cannibal Corpse Cannibal Corpse is a American death metal band from Buffalo, New York, formed in 1988. The band is known for their graphic album covers, explicitly violent lyrics and song titles like "I C** Blood" The group got into mainstream after performing the song "Hammer Smashed Face" in the 1994 film Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. In 1995, vocalist Chris Barnes left the band to focus on his new death metal project... read more

This needs to be in the top 10. Not only did it contribute to TONS of negative metal stereotypes, the fans are posers, they hate on any DM band that isn't gory enough for them. The lyrics are uninspired and terrible, vocals are painful to listen to, and their best song is probably the only DM song I listened to and wanted to stop listening to. Personally I'm more of a prog/melodeath fan, but even as an outsider of extreme DM, I can tell it is a bad band.

Their lyrics are just horrible! They should be number one, because while music can be anything we want it to be, there's a fine line between bad, terrifying, and just utterly despicable. Their album covers are scary too. The moment I saw one, I instantly knew that I wasn't even going to bother listening to them. They are just horrible in every way.

After Death disbanded, Obituary became the backbone of Death Metal, because you can actually understand what Jon Tardy screams. Cannibal Corpse are talented musicians who make dull and unintelligible dirge. They've earned their place in Death Metal, which I do respect, just not with me.

13 Anal C*** Anal C*** was an American grindcore band founded by vocalist Seth Putnam in 1988 in Newton, Massachusetts. The band is known for their highly offensive lyrics which included themes of misogyny, homophobia, racism, Nazism, antisemitism, and schadenfreude (ridicule of the unfortunate). Their music has been received negatively by critics, which the band stated that their music was intentionally bad,... read more

Pornogrind music is disgusting and vulgar and if you listen and love this type of 'music' and what it stands for, you're a twisted person and literally need to get your head out of the gutter.

People need to understand that not only is this a joke with lyrics, but with music as well. They try to be bad, which is what makes them funny.

I'm not even kidding they are a real band look them up, I can promise you that these guys are even worse that any of these bands!

14 iwrestledabearonce Iwrestledabearonce (often stylized in all lowercase) was an American metalcore band formed in 2007 in Shreveport, Louisiana. In their nine years together, they released one EP, four full-length albums, and two remixed releases.

Nightwish, epica, evanescence, within temptation are better metal bands fronted be girls than this bull, this aren't deathcore, carnifex and whitechapel are better deathcore

No, you guys never wrestled a bear.

I can't bear seeing all of these great bands on this list (pun only slightly intended)

15 Brokencyde Brokencyde is an American crunkcore musical group from Albuquerque, New Mexico, founded in 2006. The group's lineup consists of David "Se7en" Gallegos and Michael "Mikl" Shea, and musically are one of the founding groups in the crunkcore genre, which is crunk hip-hop with screamed vocals.

I voted for this band as it is not even metal. I mean Lamb of God, Cradle of Filth, Skid Row, hell all these bands could at least be considered as metal. But just listen to Brokencyde. There are hardly any elements in their music that even resembles metal. The closest thing that even makes them resemble metal is the screamed vocals, and they are still done in the wrong technique.

While I don't mind Limp Bizkit or Nickelback, I simply cannot STAND Brokencyde. What they do is pop music with screams to attract the scene kids. They are an absolute disgrace to metal and should never have seen the light of day.

Gave me ear cancer. They are just the typical abomination made up of edgy emo teenagers who think their appaling music is worth more than rancid dirt under my shoe.

16 Waking the Cadaver

"Perverse Recollections of a Necromangler" is considered one of the worst albums of all time by TVTropes. And I agree, it got worse when deathcore aged poorly. And yeah, the drummer doesn't deserve to be playing anything near metal with that level of skill.

Scrap my previous comment. These days, they have actually improved tremendously. Their first album was god awful. They're second album was still bad with a slightly improved sound. It's their latest album Real Life Death that impressed me. Now they're still not the best (obviously) but they're not as bad anymore as they initially were, and that says a lot

This band is awful. I'm a fan of brutal music, but no. Their music is just bad. Not to mention that in their first album, the drummer was terrible. He couldn't keep a beat if his life depended on it. Their second album is a big improvement but it still sounds terrible. They are the worst deathcore band in existence

17 Hollywood Undead Hollywood Undead is an American rap rock band from Los Angeles, California, United States. They released their debut album, Swan Songs, on September 2, 2008, and their live CD/DVD Desperate Measures, on November 10, 2009. Their second studio album, American Tragedy, was released April 5, 2011. All of the band members use pseudonyms and wear their own unique mask, most of which are based on the common... read more

I don't understand why they are compared to Linkin Park. LP has talent, and say what you want, but they're not posers. Hollywood Undead might be the worst band ever. Crappy music, crappy look, it's the complete package of what bad bands should be like. I saw "Swan Songs" cover and thought they were like those bank robbers from the beginning of the Dark Knight movie. So, I thought theyd be cool. Nope. Never been more wrong in my life. Listen to real music like Linkin Park, or even From Ashes to New. WAY better.

Ladies and gentlemen I am pleased to say the worst band on earth is here. For years hollywood undead have made awful music and been the worst SLIPNOT ripoff ever. My 10 year old sister likes them, I try to explain to her that they are are cheesey as hell. They have retarded masks they HOLD with their HANDS and make garbage music.

Metal with rap is the worst! Besides Hollywood Undead are some other prime examples: Suicidal Tendencies, Korn (at times), Slipknot and Rage Against The Machine.

18 Bullet For My Valentine Bullet for My Valentine are a Welsh metalcore band from Bridgend, formed in 1998. The band is composed of Matthew Tuck (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Michael Paget (lead guitar, backing vocals), Michael Thomas (drums) and Jamie Mathias (bass guitar). Former members include Nick Crandle and Jason James; both were on bass. They were formed under the name Jeff Killed John and started their music career... read more

I used to love this band. Two years later, its dried out for the most part.

Bullet For My Valentine aren't bad, and they do have some genuinely good songs, but in all honesty, they don't stand out much outside of Metalcore, already a genre with a polarizing reputation. They're okay overall, with some good stuff and some mediocre material here and there. And lastly, most of their content isn't Metal, and the band's frontman even outright stated that Bullet For My Valentine was a "Hard Rock band with Metal influences".

It's kind of hard to call these guys bad, at least with respect to their albums Fever and Venom. The others...well, that's up to personal opinion, but I don't feel the earlier stuff is very good, especially vocally. Maybe it's just poor memory, but I seem to recall them being whiny back when, and that's usually a dealbreaker for me.

Bullet for my valentine? Really? ? They're a awesome band, one of my favorites. And they're not even metal you douchbags, its called metalcore A.K. A post hardcore. And they're ranked #1 on best metalcore bands so shut up!
Linkin park is epic. Never deserve to be 'worst' tittle on any category, even if they changes they're genre.

19 Blood On the Dance Floor Blood on the Dance Floor was an American electronic music group from Orlando, Florida, originally consisting of Dahvie Vanity and several other members over time. The group formed in 2006, with former members including Jayy Von Monroe (2009–2016) and Garrett Ecstasy (2009), all of whom provided vocals for the project... read more

Blood On The Dance Floor is not metal! This band is just a bunch of idiots who create terrible music! I have never hated a band so much in my whole life and I feel like to listen to Metallica, Aerosmith, Queen, Bruce Springsteen, AC/DC and many other great rock/metal legends rather than listen to these sick jerks! They do stupid songs that have nothing to do with anything whatsoever and Dahvie Vanity is the worst person you will ever meet in your life. I'm dead serious! Go see a better person rather than him, and also he can't sing for crap!

I started to hate this band after reading some controversies about this sicko and I heard a few songs by them, one with Joel Madden from Good Charlotte. Joel was good, the sicko not! Their songs are so disgusting and I would just vomit on the floor after hearing their stuff if somebody stupid told me to! Plus, their band name has nothing to do with Michael Jackson's song of the same name (Michael Jackson's song is very good by the way! ), which is based on a number of true facts (Don't want to list them sorry! ).

I first heard of this disgusting band during my last swimming carnival this year (in 2017) when my old friend decided to play their music. I felt disgusted after listening to that and I decided to stay away from that person for a very long time, until the day I die! If you want to listen to some nice music, stay right away from Dahive Vanity's stupid band and just listen to the rock/metal legends I mentioned earlier and also if you want, listen to Black Veil Brides, they are way better than this band. Andy from Black Veil Brides is better than Dahive Vanity the sicko jerk.

Finally, this band must be voted for number 1!

20 Avenged Sevenfold Avenged Sevenfold is an American heavy metal band, that was formed 1999 in California. Their longest lineup of members was M. Shadows (Vocals), Synyster Gates (Lead Guitar), Zacky Vengeance (Rhythm Guitar), Johnny Christ (Bass Guitar), and The Rev (Drums).

Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan (Drums), their most notable drummer, passed away in 2009, being temporarily replaced by Mike Portnoy, who was replaced... read more

Worst metal band I have ever seen. They are hopeless. The vocalist doesn't sound good. It gives like a horror sound. Moreover, the music is the worst ever and sound like funny when people hears. The lead guitarist cannot play an attractive music.
The music is very funny.
Studio music gives clear voice and cool music but makes no sense and doesn't make any interest. It gives only irritating and overacts the way they are. Their concert music always flops and doesn't make sense at all.
Vocal, music and about everything is hopeless and sounds like a crap.

Another band I used to love before getting dried up and moving past other Metal musicians.

That said, A7X is a very polarizing band. Their first two albums were rather poor to say the least, and Hail to the King is normally picked on by everyone as a plagiarizing album (Which yeah, I can understand), but the rest of their material is admittedly not bad. They have some solid stuff from their third, fourth and fifth albums and The Stage is honestly a brave attempt in trying something different, although I'm personally not into it.

21 Cradle of Filth Cradle of Filth are a British extreme metal band that formed in Suffolk in 1991. The band's musical style evolved from black metal to a cleaner and more "produced" amalgam of gothic metal, symphonic black metal and other extreme metal styles.

I've been asking myself, how is this not number 1? This is definitely the worst band to ever exist in the world! This band is even worse than Bieber and one direction! With untalented useless musicians and especially frontman, black metal is the worst genre of music but this band will always be the worst seriously guys they need to do the world a favor and stop just stop!

I'll agree that they aren't that great of a band, but a few songs are decent. And anyone who thinks they're a black metal band is a retard. Paul Allender even said that they've never tried to be a black metal band. They're more of a gothic metal band.

This band is so utterly cancerous on a cosmic level. This band is IDIOTIC so much, making feces, while telling people it's bloody "black metal". This band makes me so puke and I wish Danny Filth gets stabbed in the head, 23 times.

22 Chelsea Grin Chelsea Grin is an American deathcore band from Salt Lake City, Utah. Formed in 2007, the group have released two EPs and five full-length albums.

Generic Deathcore band that tries to be as br00tal as possible.

The reason I hate deathcore(in general), idiotimoronic core for posers and for br00tal "metalheads" Complete and utter crap.

I love this band

23 Attack Attack!

Lame hipsters trying to play metal they learned from tutorial software, crabcoring with their salon-styled hair, v necks, and their sister's jeans.

Who put this here? This band rocked! Smokahontas, stick stickly, the wretched, dr. Shavargo pt 3! These guys were one of the best!

24 Suicide Silence Suicide Silence is an American deathcore band from Riverside, California. Formed in 2002, the band has released four full-length studio albums, one EP and eleven music videos.

Suicide silence is possibly a the worst band ever. Firstly they are just trying way too hard to be death metal, when their growls just sound like the singer has a lougie in his throat and they look to emo/scene/douchy to ever be hardcore, Second, they inspired all these stupid deathcore/ metalcore bands there are now, like Black veil Brided and waking the cadaver.

Other bands here are worse, but I don't consider a lot of them to be metal, but I do this band, so I voted here. Mitch Licker was one of the worst vocalists and lyricists in metal, although I'm not glad of his death.

What are people here even talking about, SS was never death metal, nor the members said they are/were. Overrated for sure, but surely not the "worst" metal band ever, that place is reserved for Slipknot

25 Slipknot Slipknot is an American metal band formed in Des Moines, Iowa in 1996. The band is best known as one of the pioneers of the New Wave of American Alternative Metal during the late 1990s - 2000s and are distinguishable by the band's clothing choices, consisting of black/red jumpsuits and horror inspired masks... read more

They are as overrated as a pop star! How large of a band lineup do you need for the most mediocre sound? 9 people if you are slipknot! Such an awful orchestration of instruments too. A turntable? Or how about a man dressed as a clown beating a garbage can with a bat? I despise this band and hate that they are labeled as one of the best "metal" bands of all time! Are you kidding? And to think that their first crap of an album was on a major label! I honestly think that some big record executives put together a band for all of the adolescent 12 year olds to listen to and boom! You have a successful group with a huge following! Just like a boy band, but "metal". Whoever profited from their crappy music is a genius.

Slipknot is the boy band of metal. 12 year old attention seekers who want to be the social outsiders that they are go to their middle school with a Slipknot T-shirt. Back to the boy band point. Annoying fan base? Check. Gimmicky appearance? Check. Poor presentation of musical skill? Check. Cash cow for a major record label? Check. I'm sorry, but on top of all of this, nine grown men in jump suits and masks expect to be taken seriously in the musical world while amounting to nothing more than a joke.
