Metal Blade Records is an independent record label (founded in 1981 by Brian Slagel) for metal/rock bands.
It has offices in USA, Germany and Japan.
Bands such as As I Lay Dying, The Black Dahlia Murder, Cannibal Corpse, Fates Warning, GWAR, King Diamond, Slayer and Unearth are/were labeled to Metal Blade.
In my own opinion, Metal Blade Records is the best record company out their right now. Because MBR has many great death metal and grindcore artists signed to them.

Get the Metal Blade Recordsmug. An excellent progressive death metal band from France. These guys did nothing but tour late 2006 and throughout '07 by opening acts such as Machine Head, Annihilator, and Lamb of God. Their live shows are amazing.
They somewhat some like Mastodon but they so much more ass (coming from a Mastodon fan). Alot of their topics are about human intervention with nature and how it'll effect earth.
These guys are worth anyone's attention. Go pick up "From Mars To Sirius" Gojira's latest album. You'll get hooked!

Get the Gojiramug. Well this is easy...
Shit. Pure, utter, gay shit. Only famous because MTV made them that way. One of clear channel's prized possessions.

Good Charlotte- I'd rather drink the fluid that comes out of a piece of elephant dung than listen to those cocks.

Get the Good Charlottemug. n)
One of the most brutal and successful death metal bands out there right now. They are widely known for their infamous grossed-out lyrics and extremely explicit album art- "extremely" can barely cover the nastyness of the artwork.
Their guitar chords have deceisively complexity and nice patterns here and there. Be glad that George Fisher's voice is usually incoherate, for the lyrics can paint some nasty imagery in your mind that can even make a full-blown maniac (like me ;P) shudder big time.

If Cannibal Corpse made videos off of their songs... then those videos will be the best ever made in history.

Get the Sperm Bankmug. 
A 4-piece alternative metal band formed in '97 that lasted for 8 years. Also known as the guys who ripped-off White Zombie's sound.
Coal Chamber was very good alt. metal band (that is until System of a Down made the scene). Only thing that they needed was some originality (and the irony in this is that alternative music can easily be original that most other genres).
