True metal is any band that plays metal, and does so with a shred of talent. Examples of true metal bands would be Iron Maiden, Blackguard, Deicide, and Megadeth. Examples of false metal bands would be suicide silence, lamb of god, slipknot, and avenged sevenfold. There are some bands that are commonly misconstrued as false metal, but are actually just hard rock bands. As long as they do not claim to be metal, and they know they are hard rock, they are not flase metal. One example would be Sevendust.
