Death Egg Posted February 18, 2013 Used to be a huge prog/power metal fan and would listen to nothing but those genres up until recently... Recently the past two weeks or so though I've decided to try a variety of different metal genres out of my comfort zone and have been finding a lot of ones I like. A few of my favorites: Ayreon Anthrax Blind Guardian Candlemass Fantomas Gamma Ray Iron Maiden Judas Priest Kiuas Lost Horizon Megadeth Metallica Opeth Pathfinder Sodom Tool Van Canto I'm open to any other suggestions though. 0 Share this post Link to post

LANEGRACABRA Posted February 18, 2013 I like lots of metal, mostly old bands like Venom, Hellhammer/Celtic Frost, Slayer... but also dig newer black & death metal like Revenge & Black Witchery.... 0 Share this post Link to post
MegaTurtleRex Posted February 19, 2013 I have become very tranquil and happy now that I am old boring. I sit happy and try listen to Slayer or Pantera and the man is screaming "Your uncle is a cunt full of faggots! SATAN! SATAN! SATAN!" tee hee is silly. But that is lyrics, the music instrumental is very strong and makes me happy. I listen still to the Black Sabbath, I learned instruments from listening to Black Sabbath and Metallica, and I love Pantera groove. But is Black Sabbath I still love so much, I tear monkey from my neighbor ass when I heavy bass for Iomi. <3 0 Share this post Link to post
DeathevokatioN Posted February 20, 2013 Since my cd player broke, I've been going through my vinyl collection and having an ongoing binge on 80's speed metal, Nwobhm, and obscure early 90's Scandinavian death metal. 0 Share this post Link to post
BoldEnglishman Posted February 20, 2013 I've been listening to metal music since my mid-teens (so a year or two before I registered here actually), and since then have embraced the metal lifestyle. I am a bit of a genre-nerd, but at the same time I do draw a line somewhere - some so-called 'sub-genres' are just ridiculous. Currently I mainly listen to older music, as I decided a good place to start finding more great metal music was the very pioneers of the various sub-genres. I've also been to various metal festivals for a few years now (planning on going to both Bloodstock and Hellfest this year so far), and go to concerts every so often. I like to think that I like a bit of everything metal has to offer. The only genres you could say I dislike (meaning I simply don't listen to them because they don't do anything for me) are nu-metal, glam metal, the "New Wave of American Metal" (the likes of Killswitch Engage, Five Finger Death Punch, Chimaera etc.) most crossover thrash and most grindcore. I also don't particularly like "djent" either. Generally I tend to lean towards "extreme metal". Yes this was a lot of effort to put together, but I've presently got nothing to do so what the hell. Traditional metal / hard rock: - Deep Purple - Led Zeppelin - Black Sabbath (seen Ozzy live, almost counts :P) - Queen (there early-mid '70s work certainly qualifies) - Judas Priest (seen this band) - Rainbow - Dio - Heaven and Hell NWOBHM: - Motorhead (seen this band) - Saxon - Iron Maiden - Diamond Head - Angel Witch (seen this band) Power/folk metal: - Manowar - Yngwie Malmsteen - Helloween (seen this band) - Blind Guardian (seen this band) - Iced Earth (seen this band) - Mercyful Fate (musically I don't think they sound all that different from a lot of the NWOBHM, though others would label them as part of the "first wave" of black metal) - King Diamond (seen this band) - Demons and Wizards - Gamma Ray (seen this band) - Sabaton (seen this band) - Alestorm (seen this band) - Falconer - Eluveitie (seen this band) - Korpiklaani (seen this band) - Turisas (seen this band) - Skyclad Thrash metal (arguably my favourite sub-genre, though it entirely depends on my mood): - Metallica - Slayer (will be seeing this band later this year... so fucking excited!) - Anthrax - Megadeth (seen this band) - Pantera - Exodus (seen this band) - Overkill (seen this band) - Kreator (seen this band) - Destruction (seen this band) - Sodom (seen this band) - Sepultura (seen this band) - Testament (seen this band) - Death Angel (seen this band) - Venom - Hellhammer - Celtic Frost - Annihilator - Skeletonwitch (seen this band) - Coroner - Evile (seen this band) - Municipal Waste - Metal Church - Artillery - Tankard - Forbidden - Stormtroopers of Death - Flotsam and Jetsam - Dark Angel - Heathen - Toxik - Sabbat - Nuclear Assault - Morbid Saint - Vio-lence - Fear Factory (more industrial metal, but I put them here because I don't really listen to any other industrial metal so...) Death metal: - Possessed (seen this band) - Death - Morbid Angel (seen this band) - Obituary (seen this band) - Cannibal Corpse (seen this band) - Deicide - Vader (seen this band) - Nile (seen this band) - Cynic (very progressive metal as well) - Behemoth (seen this band) - Bloodbath - Septicflesh (seen this band) - Necrophagist - Decapitated (seen this band) - Obscura - Suffocation (seen this band) - Bolt Thrower - Napalm Death (mainly grindcore but same reason as Fear Factory above) - Fleshgod Apocalypse - Atheist (also very progressive metal) - Anaal Nathrakh (same as Napalm Death above, seen them as well) Black metal (my other favourite sub-genre): - Bathory - Mayhem (seen this band) - Darkthrone - Immortal (seen this band) - Satyricon (seen this band) - Enslaved (seen this band) - Gorgoroth (seen this band) - Emperor - Dimmu Borgir (seen this band) - Cradle of Filth (seen this band) - Dark Funeral (seen this band) - Ihsahn - Primordial (seen this band) - Dissection - Belphegor (will be seeing this band later this year) - Agalloch - Burzum - Alcest (seen this band) - Summoning - Ulver (most of their work isn't black metal at all, but I guess you could argue they're still philosophically/spiritually black metal) - Windir - Shining (seen this band) - Samael - Drudkh - Watain (seen this band) - Old Man's Child - Wolves in the Throne Room - Carpathian Forest - Blut Aus Nord - Negura Bunget - Dark Fortress (seen this band) - Akercocke - A Forest of Stars - Aura Noir - Wodensthrone - Saturnian -- friend's band from university, hence the link. Check them out if you like your Symphonic black metal. - Aklash -- band that I'm in, hence the link. For fans of more atmospheric black metal. Doom metal: - Witchfinder General - Trouble - Candlemass (will be seeing this band later this year) - Cathedral - Electric Wizard (seen this band) - Katatonia (seen this band) - Anathema (seen this band) - Swallow the Sun (seen this band) - Pentagram (seen this band) - Saint Vitus - Grand Magus (seen this band) - Pagan Altar Progressive metal: - Rush - Savatage - Queensryche - Fates Warning - Voivod - Dream Theater (seen this band) - Opeth (seen this band) - Gojira (seen this band) - Symphony X (seen this band) - Evergrey - Ayreon - Devin Townsend - Control Denied - Periphery (seen this band) - Star One - Threshold (seen this band) - Liquid Tension Experiment - Office of Strategic Influence Melodic death metal: - Amon Amarth (seen this band) - Amorphis (seen this band) - Insomnium (seen this band) Extreme power/folk metal (iffy sub-genre I know, but I think it's the best way to describe the following bands): - Children of Bodom (seen this band) - Wintersun (seen this band) - Ensiferum (seen this band) - Finntroll (seen this band) - Moonsorrow (also very progressive metal in a way, also seen this band) - Equilibrium - Orphaned Land (seen this band) I'm also a big '70s progressive rock nerd, but that's an entirely different story.

CorSair Posted February 20, 2013 Also, if you like extreme metal, take a look about Berzerker, Origin and Carcass. (Or did you forgot to list them? :P) Anyway, impressive list. As for me, I don't really care what type of music I listen, only thing is, is it good. From Blur to ZZ-Top and AC/DC, all top to Meshuggah and Berzerker. Fun fact: Bolt Thrower's only European concert (for now, according to their tour dates) comes to Finland. Could I think meself lucky? 0 Share this post Link to post
Egregor Posted February 21, 2013 I'm a 'metal head' but I usually shy away from the masculine, or shred-tastic stuff. I'm drawn to the more obscure, atmospheric, and dissonant stuff. This may sound strange, but this 'best of 2012' from Pitchfork is actually pretty damn good: http://pitchfork.com/features/show-no-mercy/9021-the-top-40-metal-albums-of-2012/ 0 Share this post Link to post
mammajamma Posted February 21, 2013 I don't know if newer hardcore would be strictly metal per se, but I've been listening to quite a bit of it lately. Reign Supreme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmBu0JRbqPk0 Hatebreed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozd-T2k6_JE Terror http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UonmopFossY Other bands would be Xibalba, Harms Way, Madball, Warhound, and Cruel Hand, along with about a hundred others. 0 Share this post Link to post

Sabaton And I don't know as much of their stuff as I should but I also like what I know of the following (no particular order)Iron Maiden Evanescence Power Quest continuing the DragonForce theme.Eh...kind of puny when I look at everyone else. 0 Share this post Link to post

ReFracture Posted February 28, 2013 Accept Blind Guardian Dio Down Evile Exodus Fear Factory Heathen Hollow Iron Maiden Judas Priest Megadeth Metallica Morgana Lefay Motorhead Overkill Pantera Queensrÿche Slayer Stratovarius Sword Testament I really need to find more bands that I can get into. Those are my general go-tos for my metal listening needs. Thrash is my favorite, handily. Testament is probably my overall favorite band. I missed them live last night. I was really sick and was forced to stay home. What a shitty night last night was. 0 Share this post Link to post

Demonologist Posted April 3, 2013 Metal (especially one that takes its essence towards extreme realms) plays significant role in my musical tastes, though I don't bother confining myself with particular genres and bands and like things in wide range from avantgarde black metal (Deathspell Omega ftw!) to The Prodigy. And I also don't consider myself metalhead, as well as someone else. I just listen to what I like and don't care much about anything genre- or image-related. Anyway, my latest discovery. I'm not a huge fan of stuff like post-metal or atmospheric rock, but this shit definitely hooked me up. Like late Anathema but with more density in their sound and noticeable influences from ambient, electronic, tribal music and so on. Cool thing actually. Atoma - Highway Speaking of favs - there's a band that completely distorted my reality several years ago and quickly became the most adorable one. I dare to say this is the most beautiful and tempting thing ever happened to extreme metal. I'll put one song here. Careful, may cause strong addiction.

The Project Hate MCMXCIX - Nailed Have you heard a band called Torture Division? Same members, although the one came across as a bit arrogant on an Indian metal forum I used to be a moderator on when he said they were the best band in the world, it is still some cool stuff. It's more straight forward death metal in the vein of Grave, and their whole discography is online for free with their permission. http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Torture_Division/118928 0 Share this post Link to post
