Top 5? Anthrax, Lamb of God, Mastodon, Iron Maiden, Protest The Hero

...and three of them are at Sonisphere this year!!!

Just because this fine lad already stated my favorites, I shall add on Tool, Megadeth, Pantera, The Black Dahlia Murder, and Between the Buried and Me.

 

[Aragatory]

I wouldn't say I have a favourite metal band and I'm not going to list all the ones I like,
but if pressed I would have to go with this band as one of my all time favourites.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

In Flames.
They are pretty good.

That is such a great song, one of my favorites from them.

That's odd, because apart from Pantera I'm not a big fan of any of those really :/.

 

[Valkyrie101]

Iron Maiden
Judas Priest
Manowar
Sabaton
Saxon
Holyhell
