Linkin Park are the biggest selling band of this decade, nay, century. That's a statement that really hurts, isn't it. They've sold more records than Metallica, Iron Maiden or even The Beatles. Yes, feel free to weep because there doesn't seem like much to celebrate. Right? WRONG! There really have been some amazing bands, albums and [...]

Glassjaw Peak: 2001 Era: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence What have Glassjaw done in the 2000s? Glassjaw's decade is one characterized by inactivity. They saw the decade start with the release of the rapturously-received Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence (2000), following it up with Worship and Tribute (2002). However, since then it's been [...]

Turn off the lights and grab a glowstick (no, wait - don't). It's time to get funky nostalgic.

10 years of Minnesota's sexiest scandals all in one place! Dreams do come true.

Remember the noughties? Weren't they great? No, they were unrelentingly shit.

Why is the voice of our generation just...so...lame?

Killswitch Engage Peak: 2004 Era: The End Of Heartache What have Killswitch Engage done in the 2000s? Their 30 minute-long self-titled 2000 debut was released through Ferret and has lately been referred to as more of an EP by Howard Jones. At the time, however, it was simply a blistering assault of melodic/harsh vocals and duelling dual guitars that were more akin to the Gothenburg school of metal than anything distinctly American. 2002's [...]

Alkaline Trio Peak: Crimson Era: 2005 What have Alkaline Trio done in the 2000s? After 1998's Goddamnit debut and the rough-round-the-edges, anthem-filled 2000 follow-up, Maybe I'll Catch Fire , Alkaline Trio got close to the mainstream in 2001 with From Here To Infirmary released through Vagrant. This sincere collection of dark, relationship-fuelled slabs of hilariously downtrodden poetry spawned two UK "hit" singles in 'Stupid Kid' (#53) and [...]

Where were you on the night before the dawn of the New Millennium? Jon Kerr was getting a pit going in Jilly's Rockworld, Manchester. We've asked him to summarise the ten years since then in all things metal in a handy A to Z S layer No Slayer, no thrash. Right? Following their four classic '80s albums, Slayer's four '90s albums received a varied reception as the band branched out in style. During this last decade, Slayer have succeeded in cementing [...]

Fall Out Boy Peak: 2005 Era: From Under The Cork Tree What Have Fall Out Boy done in the 2000s? After a couple of independent releases in 2003, Fall Out Boy signed to Island, or one of its subsidiaries, in 2005 and decided to go supernova. When From Under The Cork Tree went double platinum, it was clear that they had put pop punk back in the mainstream. Not only [...]

From: New Jersey, US Sounds like: Saves The Day, Taking Back Sunday, Far Website: www.MySpace.com/LastDaysOfEmpi re Thrash Hits verdict: There seems to be an awful lot going on in New Jersey right now - not only did we stumble across the hardcore rock'n'roll of Chambers , but now we can also add the post-hardcore soundscapes of Last Days of Empire to our 2009 discovery-list. We pinned down LDoE vocalist/guitarist, Michael Depho, to fill us in. -- How did you [...]

Where were you on the night before the dawn of the New Millennium? Jon Kerr was getting a pit going in Jilly's Rockworld, Manchester. We've asked him to summarise the ten years since then in all things metal in a handy A to Z J udas Priest As if one seminal British vocalist returning to his former band wasn't enough, Rob Halford followed suit in 2003 and re-joined Judas Priest . Angel of Retribution followed and Priest [...]

Converge Peak: 2001 Era: Jane Doe What have Converge done in the 2000s? While Converge had been around since the early 90s, it wasn't until the genre-busting, nay genre- breaking Jane Doe (2001) that the Massachusetts four-piece shook the world of rock to its very foundations. Terrorizer Magazine recognized its greatness from the off, naming it their Album of the Year. To this day it remains not only the yardstick [...]

Linkin Park are the biggest selling band of this decade, nay, century . That's a statement that really hurts, doesn't it. They've sold more records than Metallica, Iron Maiden or even The Beatles.

There really have been some amazing bands, albums and songs that have have had an amazing effect over the past ten years and we're going to focus on them with loads of celebratory articles about them. And this is where you can find all of them. Handy, eh? [...]

Deftones Peak: 2000/2001 Era: White Pony What have Deftones done in the 2000s? After consolidating their position as the thinking man's alternative metal band with the chugging nu-metal of Adrenaline (1995) and the restrained, groovy vitriol of Around The Fur (1997) on Madonna's Maverick label, they released their third album, White Pony in 2000. Chino Moreno was also working on Team Sleep at that time, lending to a [...]

We're a few months away from the end of the decade, which I'm sure means a LOT of end-of-decade lists should start appearing soon (on sites apart from Pitchfork ). Off the top of my head, I would probably include records by Radiohead , System of a Down , Yeah Yeah Yeahs , M.I.A. , Kanye West (despite his being a gigantic tit) and Animal Collective on my list. What would you include on yours?

it's getting towards the end of the decade again...yikes. i can remember this feeling ten years ago. that 'shit, was that the 90s?' feeling. even though i started the 90s as a child, it seemed like it went too fast. i'm not looking forward to all those shows and compilations to start appearing, showcasing the 00s. anyway, to combat this feeling that time is running away with us, rewind to the early 90s. pretend it was all a dream, like bobby in dallas. and if you're old enough to know what the hell [...]
