Re: Am i going back to metal?!?
ah hell yeah, COC (corrosion of conformity) kicks copious amount of ass. their album "deliverance" is usually considered best, and probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite album ever. also, check out "in the arms of god" just released last tuesday. i actually havent had the chance to pick it up cause im completely broke after i bought the ovation, but ive heard its awesome. and unlike some heavily sabbath-influenced bands, theres actual singing! and its really good at that. some of the doom bands get a bit too growly IMO. seriously, if youre gonna listen to any band, make it this one. them and down. i cant say enough about down either. definately phil anselmo's best work. "NOLA" is pretty straight up sabbath-influenced southern tinged metal, and "II" has a lot more diversity, theres a lot more bluesy and even country/bluegrass elements to some of the songs, in addition to some straightforward heavy tunes, and even some jazzy stuff going on with one song. id say NOLA is one of the best metal albums ever, but II pretty much transcends all genres in its greatness

Re: Am i going back to metal?!?
they did have a sampler thing that you can open on their main page with samples of 3 songs from the new album, but it isnt there anymore. if you have AIM, i have 2 songs from the album on my computer i can send, but i think theyre earlier versions so not all the mastering is done or something. still sounds great though

It's trendy to hate trends.
Just kidding.
With regards to Sabbath-esque bands you may like, The Obsessed is a band you may find appealling, same with Fireball Ministry. Fireball in particular has a real trucker-cool, stoner-rock feel to their songs that I personally like a lot.

Re: Am i going back to metal?!?
I nice CD to get if you want to listen to "doom" genre type stuff or early thrash was the project Dave Grohl started called Probot. Tons of artists like Wino and Lemmy are on it and it will give you a good idea of what else to buy.
I don't know, maybe it's just me, but it seems metal these days is becoming more and more of a trend. You have extremes like the lipgloss bubble gum pop music out there and then you have bands that focus on nothing, but trying to be heavier than each other. Probot is a great album to get into bands that "started" the whole thrash, doom type stuff.
