Recommend me some heavy metal :)

[BathorysGraveland]

Slayer would definitely be the best starting place. They're the classic everyone knows and loves and one of the most influential bands for extreme metal period (alongside Venom, of course). They fit the definition of " some heavy, screamy, fastpaced crazy music" to a fucking T.

 

[Rattler5150]

Metallica
megadeth
Anthrax
Motorhead
Iron Maiden
Judas Priest (sorry I forgot this one)

 

[Cowabungaa]

What? No mention of one of the classics yet?


Can't say "metal" without including Judas Priest.

 

[Korenith]

If you're looking to wind people up I recommend Opeth. Songs often start with some melodic stuff and then BANG!! The contrast should make people jump.

 

[shrekfan246]

You said no swears, so I'm not entirely sure if this crosses any lines...


This stuff isn't sweary though.

I've got plenty of screamy music though.

Spoiler: Big list.

here's a metal predator.

All of my want.

 

[DanielBrown]

Heavy, screamy, fast paced...
Sounds like you want thrash more than heavy metal!

Gogo Overkill!
Master piece album. Though it might have a few curse words here and there.

Ironbound might fit better if it's to get people pumped up however.

 

[Kenbo Slice]

This should get everybody going:

 

[xplosive59]

Just play this song, it's half an hour long, doesn't start off like heavy metal and completely brilliant.

 

[Feraswondervahnn]

Still my favorite, even if it is more Industrial.

But then theres these

Is there anything more to be said? except...

 

[Sunrider]

Whenever someone starts a thread like this, I always say the same thing. DEVIN TOWNSEND IS YOUR MAN!

Whatever you're in the mood for, he has an answer for you. You want brutal as fuck, fast-paced and screaming like a madman? Go for Strapping Young Lad or the album Deconstruction under the Devin Townsend Project.

Spoiler: Strapping Young Lad - Wrong Side

Spoiler: Devin Townsend Project - Sumeria

Indeed! Painkiller is great if you're looking for something fast paced, as it is in fact, faster than a laser bullet!

I'll hand some of my favourites:

Spoiler: Nevermore - Narcosynthesis

Spoiler: Iron Maiden - The Trooper

Spoiler: Metallica - Master of Puppets

Spoiler: Iced Earth - Disciples of the Lie

 

[M Silverthorn]

Some of my humble suggestions. These ones are kinda mainstream, I admit - but might not be a bad place to start if you're new to the genre: they were the ones that my friends told me to listen to all those years ago. I've never regretted listening to a single one of them.

Spoiler: Testament - Electric Crown with Intro

Spoiler: Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction

Spoiler: Motorhead - Ace of Spades

Spoiler: Ozzy Osbourne - Hellraiser

Spoiler: Iron Maiden - Mother Russia

Here's a comprehensive list!

Screamey? You're not looking for heavy metal my friend. Unless it's hair metal but that's semantics. Here's some good stuff and their respective genres. If you like what you hear, try looking more into that subgenre. The idea is that there are lots of subgenres and all of them are different from the last.
