Copper is a nice metal with good thermal absorbing properties. Oh wait you mean music :PJigglyWiggly_

I'll second Slayer, Death, the Misfits and Sleep, even though the Misfits aren't metal.

There are a lot of genres that fall into this category, but I'll leave you with a few that I have been into frequently-

Possuido Pelo Cao (brazilian thrash)

No Mercy (no, not the awful new age techno band, this was one of Mike Muir's bands outside of ST)

Dirty Rotten Imbeciles (aka D.R.I.)

Gang Green

and lastly, but definitely a MUST;

Sepultura

All of these bands are on Myspace. Give them a listen.

It isnt metal if they dont scream...

Trivium

Bullet for my Valentine

In Flames

Testament

Soilwork

Atreyu

Killswitch Engage

MachineHead

etc

[QUOTE="Morning_Revival"][QUOTE="NecroKvltMuffin"] Don't be saying what is metal and what isn't then posting a list of barely any metal:| The Lord Weird Slough Feg. Everyone should listen to them.CreepingDeath_

how is glam metal considered metal is the question i must ask .. how is " cherry pie" metal... van halen was more metal than all the glam metal bands .. and they arnt even considered metal..theyre hard rock. nimatoad2000

I'm surprised no one recommended Jag Panzer (especially "Thane to the Throne" and "Casting the Stones").

OverKill: "The Years of Decay" or "Taking Over."

Anthrax: "Persistence of Time," "Spreading the Disease," "Among the Living."

Iced Earth: "Days of Purgatory," "Something Wicked pt 1 and 2."

Gamma Ray: "Land of the Free" (1 and 2), "Insanity and Genius."

Megadeth: "Rust in Peace," "Peace Sells..." and "The World Needs a Hero."

Hallow's Eve (the old stuff on "Tales of Terror," and not the latest one).

Judas Priest: "Defenders of the Faith."

Iron Maiden: "Number of the Beast," "Powerslave," "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son," "Fear of the Dark," "Brave New World," "A Matter of Life And Death."

...that's all I can think of... too many really good bands in my collection fit your criteria.
