Yeah, they're still common enough. Among others, Lamb of God. Thrash has also seen a revival as of late.

Yeah there are plenty of bands that still use six, but like CTN said they will mostly utilize lower tunings. I think that up until their third or fourth record Gojira was in D standard, I think they're in C# standard now.

It's easier to louder, lower or even faster, than it is to be better.

A 6 string guitar already has 3 strings I don't use, why would I want to add a 4th?
(I tune to open B)

There's a lot of death metal that doesn't need that 7th string, just better arranging and more effort from the bass player. Drop or standard C is more difficult to account for IMO.
off u see did MRSAge, I m on tapa talk and auto correct is hating on me

He means that you can record songs that have a faster tempo, are in lower tunings etc. Those things don't mean that the song becomes better with them. Some bands seem to try to take the easy wsy out by making their music more extreme instead of honing their songwriting skills.
