If your looking for some different types of metal I'd suggest

Nightwish-Falls under a couple genres but I call it symphonic metal

Ayeron-Mentioned a couple times already very melodic and has tons of different artists in each cd.

Iced Earth-Not quite sure where to put this, maybe progressive metal. One of my personal favorites.

Blind Guardian-One of the best metal bands, hands down. HANSI!

Evergrey- A good power metal band.

Volbeat- My favorite band, I suggest them to everyone no matter what they ask for. Imagine a mix between Metallica, Johnny Cash, and Elvis. I put them under my own genre called Danish Country Metal.

I feel like I need more metal in my life. Could you please recommend some. Here's some help:

-Nothing "Satanic" as in praising Satan...'cause he sucks
-It would be cool if they spoke/sang/screamed in English (unless it's exceptional)
-Pretty composition (Melodic, even if only some parts)
-Modern stuff is appreciated (unless it's that kick-a**)
-Metalcore can be included
-Examples of some stuff I like (please listen to at least one):
If you like Suicide Silence and techno, you'll like this. Otherwise, it's a pretty interesting experiment in genre mashing.

Also: Lamb of God! (New Album 1/24)

'Blood Mountain' and 'Crack the Skye' by Mastodon.

Divisive band, it seems. Never get the same opinion about them. Personally, I like the more melodic themes of these two albums instead of the (still good) sludge metal of Leviathan and Remission before that.



That and you gotta respect the classics

Meh, Melvins ftw.

Can't stand Metal that has pitchless vocals. I really like Metal when either there's no vocals, or there's a singer. Example: Layne Staley from Alice in Chains.

Basically I like Sludge Metal, Heavy Metal

It's not that I don't like screaming in metal, it just has it's place. If you want someone who could do screaming in music well, go look up Kurt Cobain.

Off the top of my head, I'm going to recommend Despised Icon, because they are an amazing band, and are currently on hiatus, probably indefinitely. Very technical, lyrics are very good too and are surprisingly deep for a band of this genre.

I would recommend:

Sevendust - favorite album: Alpha - If you don't know them already, you must listen. Your ears will thank you. Here's a clip of Clint Lowery warming up on guitar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCimLZMinRw He is amazing
Psychostick - "humorcore" metal
Gamma Ray - can't go wrong with Kai Hansen
Helloween - Seven Sinners was pretty heavy for them, and pretty damn good.
Alestorm - epic pirate metal

Suprised nobody has yet mentioned HAGGARD , symphotic metal which ive been looking for more lately.
Quo Vadis - Canadian band, the live video thats out there of this song is focused on the drummer and man its nuts watching him move

and just because it was one a friend recommended ages ago and it sounds pretty good Beyond the Embrace, Riddle of the steel

I would embed the video, if i had any clue howto *heh*, hence why this might look sloppy

edit- hey figured it out and fancy spoiler tags etc

Black Sabbath all the way up until their Sabotage is great, particularly Master of Reality. Their albums with Dio were great too. Dio's solo career was pretty good but my favorite band is Judas Priest and their best stuff was on their Stained Class album but every thing from their first album til Screaming for Vengeance is gold.

Deep Purple is a pretty good place to start though. It's not as Heavy and is a good way to ease into Metal. And you can't go wrong with Kiss.

A pretty good place to look is the soundtrack to Brutal Legend. Who ever put that soundtrack together has pretty good taste in metal.

:wumpscut: is pretty fun, even if he's more industrial than metal (although I can't tell a difference...).

<youtube=_0MbBzpW0eA>

I got a bit addicted to this one a while back. I personally prefer the muted concept, but there's nothing wrong with the French/English one.

True but he might not want to see Christf*ck with his original requests, but soylent green of theirs rocks!

And to keep on topic instead of a response, 3 inches of blood is amusing
