So...I've started listening to metal. Recommend me some good metal bands OT?

Well i've started listening to metal for about a couple of months after hearing through fire and flames on Guitar hero 3. So afterwards i went to listen to some dragonforce music and it was sooo good :D . But anyways apart from finding sonata arctica, Stratovarius, dragonland, Kamelot, a few of helloween's songs, Only for the weak by In Flames, some of Trivium's songs, Lordi, etc. This is pretty much a list of most of the metal bands i like. Just so yu know i don't really like death metal or trash metal. So if yu guys could reccomend me some good power/ speed/ heavy type metal bands id be grateful OT ;) .

Edit: try to name some of the bands best songs, because, while i tried quite a lot of bands, the songs i listened to din't really do anything for me so i just din't listen to that band anymore....

Cool, Kreator and Sodom are great Thrash bands, and Machine Head are one of the best 90's Groove Metal bands.But a band I would highly recommend getting into would be Megadeth.Out of all those bands they are the most technical.It takes a little while to get into them though.It all depends if you have the patience :)

You need Edge of Sanity

Twilight

Black Tears

Enigma

Until Eternity Ends

And of course Crimson! Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4 and Part 5.

Try some goblin metal.

I pretty much approve of this. Especially the zombie. You will probably want to avoid Robs solo work though,its more groove rock than metal.mattykovax

[QUOTE="mattykovax"]I pretty much approve of this. Especially the zombie. You will probably want to avoid Robs solo work though,its more groove rock than metal.-Misanthropic-

Power metal:

Blind Guardian

Dark Moor

Falconer

Gamma Ray

Hammerfall

Nightwish

Rhapsody (of fire)

If you're just getting started, you'll like Gamma Ray's Land Of The Free II album. It's very easy to get in to.

Fear Factory

-Misanthropic-

I love you for saying that. My Fear Factory topic went nowhere :cry:

Soul ofa New Machine was such a hard album.

Umm, TC try Sepultura - Chaos AD. Dimmu Borgir. Mayhem ... I actual like Avenged Sevenfold, even though they are all like 5 years younger than me and NuMetal. Their stuff is decent. Slayer is the ultimate for speed/thrash though. I can't get enough of em.

In addition to those already mentioned I recommend these.

Thrash: Mantic Ritual

Drone: Boris

Melodic Death: Amorphis

Black: Possessed

Doom: Sunn O)))

Juggernaut140

Lacuna Coil

OTEP

Arch Angel

Shadows Fall

Gojira

Dark Tranguility

Volbeat

Iron Maiden, you can't like metal without iron maiden ;)

Old In Flames, not the emo metalish sheit they've made recently

Iced Earth

thx guys. although id appreciate some more power metal? ( most of these bands i listened to already and didn't think they were "good" enough :P )

LastResortCooki

Power metal you say? Check out Pyramaze!

.

Blinded Colony - Once Bitten, Twice Shy

Fejd, Blind Guardian, and Wintersun.

Try some goblin metal.

Blind Guardian and Divinefire is the only Power Metal bands that I like that I would personally recommend. This youtube video has nothing but clips of power metal bands in it, so it might help you find something new. Here

Some other metal bands that I would recommend though are:

Savotage (Symphony/Progressive Metal)

Deliverence (Early:Thrash Metal/ Newer: Progressive Metal)

Tourniquet (Thrash Metal)

Nightwish (Symphony Metal)

Be forewarned the bands Divinefire, Deliverence and Tourniquet are what you would consider Christian metal bands. Just thought I'd let you know.

Iron Maiden (this takes time getting used to. Believe me, I used to never care much about Iron Maiden until I bought The Number of the Beast and Somewhere Back in Time)

Judas Priest

Slayer

Metallica

Tool

Arch Enemy

Van Halen

Entombed

Heaven and Hell (they only have one studio album, but it's good) chessmaster1989

Melodic Death Metal:

Arch Enemy
Opeth (also very progressive at times)
In Flames
Mastadon (sort of)
Children of Bodom
and a lot more

Thrash Metal:

Metallica (old stuff)
Megadeth
Slayer
Anthrax
Pantera (they are groove metal as well I guess)
Throwdown
Testament
Exodus

Heavy Metal:

Manowar
Judas Priest
Black Sabbath
Iron Maiden
Motorhead

Progressive, Speed, Other:

Queensryche (these guys are kind of old school as well)
Dream Theater
DragonForce
System of a Down (their more alternative metalish, some people say they are nu-metal)

And there are SOOOO much more man, I hope you find some of these bands good :)

For Power Metal check Lord, Dungeon and Black Majesty.

Dragonforce isn't metal.-Apathy-

Boy oh boy, have I got the band for you. Children of Bodom. Let them be your gateway into heavier things (as they were for me)! :P

Some awesome songs of theirs:

Are You Dead Yet?

Downfall

Lake Bodom

Mask of Sanity

And an awesome demonstration by CoB that really earned them my respect:

Guitar exercises

[QUOTE="chessmaster1989"] Heaven and Hell (they only have one studio album, but it's good) N3MO

Exactly. I love the work Dio did with Black Sabbath, even if I preferred the Ozzy era. This is more or less the Dio era Sabbath releasing a new album, and it turned out well :D.

I just realized, Darth, your list doesn't have Black Sabbath :o.

Does that mean you don't like 'em?
