What do you think, does metal have a future?

Depends what metal you’re talking about. There’s a future for it sure, but it’s probably going to keep on branching off into subgenres, some good, some bad. In my opinion, on the bad side we have things like deathcore evolving, “kiddie” forms of metal in my opinion, it’s just not the same. On the other hand the recent uprising of folk metal and such I love. There’s still all the original stuff, it’s not going to die, there’s always going to be the ‘oldies’ to listen to. Some things just aren’t the same anymore, I haven’t seen any really impressive black metal bands come out in a while, they might be good, but they’re never going to leave the same impact bands such as Mayhem left, just because of how extreme they were considered at the time. You just have to dig a little deeper to find new forms of metal, some of it you may like and some of it you won’t. If you’re listening to Mastodon and Gojira type bands you’re focusing more mainstream and less on the smaller bands that are popping up.
