New metalz pl0x!

[SantoUno]

I really hate these threads cause then everyone brings up NON-metal bands like Disturbed, Mastodon, Lamb of God, Trivium, etc.

Ok let me recommend you some good REAL metal:

Thrash metal: Kreator, Destruction, Megadeth, Overkill, Sepultura (before Chaos AD), Iced Earth.

Black Metal: Bathory (first 4 albums), Mayhem, Burzum, Gorgoroth, Old Man's Child(not the new album though).

Death Metal: Death, Hypocrisy (first couple albums), Cryptopsy, Autopsy.

Melodic Death Metal: Dark Tranquillity, In Flames (before 2002), At The Gates, Arch Enemy(first 3 albums), Carcass (Heartwork album only), Insomnium, Children of Bodom(first 3 only), Kalmah.

Power Metal: Helloween, Stratovarius, Firewind, Iron Mask, Magic Kingdom, Warmen.

Folk/Viking Metal: Bathory (after Blood Fire Death), Ensiferum, Manegarm, Equilibrium, Finntroll, Eluviete, Korpiklanii, Wintersun (actually a combination of this and previous two).

Misc metal: Nevermore, Opeth, Dream Theatre, Queensryche, Atheist.

If that's a list of popular heavy metal, then why are Pantera not in that list?

So yeah, I forgot to mention Pantera in my other post, but you should also check out Strapping Young Lad, as I dont think anyone else has mentioned them...

There's a reason why I don't listen to those other genres. I don't enjoy them. Does liking metal make me inferior to fans of other music genres?

No, but it makes you kind of close-minded and boring.

Close minded? Boring?

Eh, I've been called worse.

 

[Lancer723]

Black Sabbath
Ozzy
Megadeth
Mastadon
Motorhead
Slayer
Anthrax
Pantera
Dethklok
Judas Priest

I also highly recommend
Dropkick Murphys
Airbourne/ ACDC

And this is completely out of your genre requirements, but i firmly believe everyone should at least have SOME Queen on thier ipod/zune. Everyone likes Queen, right.....right?

Sybreed
Disarmonia Mundi

Rammstein
Scar Symmetry

[ItsAChiaotzu]

Viatrophy
Obituary
Devildriver
Lamb of God
Trigger the Bloodshed
Malefice

Looks like I'm one of the only people who's actually looked at the list so far..

Evidently not.

But the rest is good to be honest.

 

[RecoJonsen]

Protest the Hero Awesome [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhMfz4HrcEA]
Between the buried and Me
The Human Abstract (Nocturne)
Dream Theater
All That Remains
As I Lay Dying
Trivium
In Flames

 

[Majere613]

Got to reinforce the Maiden recommendations, that's pretty much required. Couple of others I've not seen mentioned are Skyclad and Subway To Sally (especially Das Ratsel II).
And of course, you could always pick up Brutal Legend for more ideas

 

[Captain Pancake]

Probably already been said, but In Flames and Opeth.

 

[WrongSprite]

Viatrophy
Obituary
Devildriver
Lamb of God
Trigger the Bloodshed
Malefice

Looks like I'm one of the only people who's actually looked at the list so far..

Evidently not.

But the rest is good to be honest.

They very much fit in with the rest of the list, I didn't tailor it to your personal likings, I tailored it to his.

 

[evil_gn0me]

for a diffrent genre i suggest skindred
reggae metal ftw

 

[Sven und EIN HUND]

I guess you're only really looking for really heavy bands... I only like a few black metal/melodic death metal bands

Opeth
Children of Bodom
Gojira
Slayer
In Flames
to name a few, and here's some others that aren't black metal but that I reckon you should definitely give a go
Tool (progressive rock/metal)
Dream Theater (progressive metal)
Disturbed (nu-metal/hard rock, get "the sickness")
Alice in Chains (metal/grunge, get "dirt")
Die Apokalyptischen Reiter (German heavy metal)
Maximum The Hormone (J-Hardcore)
Mudvayne (heavy nu-metal, L.D50, their first album, is their best)
System Of A Down (Metal)
almost forgot Pantera (heavy metal)
and even though you said no metallica and maiden, come on man....come on.
and, bands you probably won't like but that are too awesome to miss out on:
Pink Floyd (experimental/psychedelic rock)
Primus (Funk Metal, very strange and awesome band)
Bob Dylan (folk rock)
Cake (alternative rock)
Jane's Addiction (funk metal)
Jimi Hendrix (psychedelic rock)
Led Zeppelin (hard rock/british new wave of heavy metal)
Muse (alternative rock, their latest album might sour you though)
Pearl Jam (grunge/alternative rock)
Rage Against The Machine (Rap metal with lots of funk)
Red Hot Chili Peppers (neo-funk/punk, my favourite band)
Soundgarden (grunge/alternative rock)
Violent Femmes (alternative folk rock)
and there you have it.
