In picking their list Forbes wrote that it’s “impossible to include all metal sub-genres in this type of list, the sub-genres that are most prominent and influential across metal today were considered with priority.” They added that all 38 bands were chosen due to having “the most significant impact in the metal genre, and a number of these bands are among the genre’s most famous and revered bands.”

Serj Tankian (new solo EP) and Odadjian (Seven Hours After Violet) have new music out now and the future of System of A Down remains murky.
