yes metal is dying. Look at how many great metal artist are no longer with us, ronnie James dio, dimebag darrell, cliff burton, and on top of it all priest calling it quits! There cannot be heavy metal without the metal gods! Bands such as trivium and avenged sevenfold can go to hell cause they will never be as great and godly as priest or pantera or any other great metal band was.
There are a few young band that I feel will keep carrying the torch for metal: dekapitator (2007 album storm before the calm feels like it should have been released in 1987)
black tide (great young metal band)
But overall metal is going downhill fast. There will never in the history of metal be a band that achieved the greatness/godlyness that a band like priest or megadeth achieved.
