Anybody love metal as much as me??? Which genres/bands of old and new?

have you heard arise yet?, its my fav sepultura though its more like death/nightmare metal compared to their later materialiwilson1296

I am an ardent lover of metal. From Dream Theater to Tool to Sevendust to Opeth. I like a lot of the quality metal, Opeth being my absolute favorite of all metal bands.

I enjoy modern Metalcore

I started out with metallica and eventually moved to my previous favorite band of all time, Megadeth. It is now my second, as it was kicked out of first by Dream Theater. In between my years of music, I have been very picky with what I listen to, and I still only have about 15-20 that I regularly listen to. Between those, I still have almost 2000 songs though. Some of my favorites:

- All That Remains

- Avenged Sevenfold

- Between The Buried and Me

- Black Sabbath

- Bullet For My Valentine

- Dethklok

- Dio

- Dream Theater

- Judas Priest

- Megadeth

- Rainbow

- Slayer

- System of a Down

Aw man :P Morbid Visions is enjoyable enough if you give it a go. It dosen't necessarily sound terrible, just very......early Seplultura.

But as for the topic, metal is a huge part of my character. I listen to a lot of death metal, lot's of black metal, a generous dose of thrash and heavy metal, and a soft spot for power and symphonic metal......with some of my favourite bands being Nevermore, Kreator, Nile, Judas Priest, Dismember, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Iced Earth, Blind Guardian, Machine Head, Suffocation.....and plenty of others that I could add, but wont.

I'll stick with 80's country and Southern Rock.

I listen to a decent amount of sludge and death metal. Right now my favorite metal is Devin Townsend. Overall though I don't know maybe Mastodon or Neurosis. As far as heavy music goes Dillinger Escape Plan and Converge are my favorite bands

Lately I've been listening to a lot of Septic Flesh, Obscura, Enslaved, Alcest, Cynic, and Nevermore( been blasting This Godless Endeavor on repeat in my car)

I'd say I'm a fairly large metal aficionado.

My favorite bands include: Down, The Absence, Hail of Bullets, Unearth, Misery Index, Revolting, Skeletonwitch, Rob Zombie, Death, Crowbar, Amon Amarth, Corrosion of Conformity, Nightrage, Nominon, Evocation, and Napalm Death.

Thrash for me. Just love the sound and the singing and solos...Yeah, I just enjoy everything about it.metallica_fan42

Dave Mustaine is so talented, seen them at Mayhem fest a month ago, old Metallica all the way, Death Magnetic had a couple good songs but at least it's not St. Anger!

Iceozo

Respect a band for trying new things is what I say. I've liked a few song off albums like Load and ReLoad even when they were panned cause Metallica did something different. I liked a few songs off St.Anger too and that album was one of Lars Ulrich's more fiercer albums which I commend him for..... for once I am commending Lars, never again.

As for me my favourite band would have to be Opeth. Akerfeldt has some of the best clean and harsh vocals I've ever heard, they can play some truly emotional music.

I've been delving into black/thrash and crust punk lately, but my favorite bands are Ulcerate, Anata, Mitochondrion, Deathspell Omega, Gorguts, Mithras, Immolation, and Suffocation. Probably missing a few, but I tend to like technical/brutal death metal (with atmosphere and well-written songs which a lot of the more contemporary stuff lacks).

Besides metal I dig indie rock, folk, crust punk, some hardcore punk, and some jazz and cIassical.

All i can say is... prepare your finest coffeh!

hail ziltoid!

Neo-ganon

Nobody has mentioned Gojira or The Sword.......ANYBODY? How about Fleshgod Apocalypse??

The metal love the most is Stoner and Doom. Some favourite songs:

Wall of Sleep - Sun Faced Apostles

Wall of Sleep - Labyrinths

Ahab - Old Thunder

Sleep - Holy Mountain

Pelican - Mammoth/The Woods

Isis - Wills Dissolve

Type O Negative - Wolf Moon

Electric Wizard - Funeralopolis

Sleep - Dopesmoker

[QUOTE="nitroRCman"][QUOTE="Saturos3091"] Fleshgod Apocalypse was cool on Oracles. Their new album is so bad though. Not a big fan of Gojira but From Mars To Sirius is a decent album. The rest of their stuff is too predictable/groove influenced for me. :Pimaps3fanboy

"for the record, my name is herman! and i hate musicals!"

With all of the references to thrash metal bands like Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer, I'm surprised no one has mentioned:

Exodus, Testament, Overkill, Vio-Lence (their first line-up featured Rob Flynn and Phil Demmel, who are currently with Machine Head), Hallow's Eve (who somehow reformed as a death metal band), SOD, MOD, Carnivore, Voivod (technically, they're prog thrash), Motorhead (who practically invented thrash), Destruction (although they seem to get referred to as black metal, they're really thrash), Dark Angel and Death Angel.

IMHO, Sonata Arctica is tied with Gamma Ray as the best power metal band. Nightwish used to be the best symphonic metal band. th3warr1or

[QUOTE="th3warr1or"]IMHO, Sonata Arctica is tied with Gamma Ray as the best power metal band. Nightwish used to be the best symphonic metal band. rockguy92

We realized that a bunch of these bands are so intertwined that it's crazy. Gamma Ray, Helloween, Blind Gaurdian, Iron Savior, and Primal Fear all have Kai Hansen in common, for example: he has played for all of them at some point (though Gamma Ray is his primary band).

Also, Blind Guardian and Iced Earth are related by a common project: Demons and Wizards ("Terror Train" is awesome!).

Just thought I'd share that. :D
