Seriously, I don't think people really care to divide between viking and folk metal.

I just wanna know of bands that play metal that i havent heard before, i need something new and i have like 150 bands i listen to, so far though all your guys ideas have been awesome. thanks

Meh, that's why I hate genres. I've never even heard about symphonic metal. Let me guess, they are the only one in that genre?

Nightwish is a bit into it, but not so much.

Nightwish is AWSOME!!! Uhhhh, I dont know any other metal bads besides these dudes my parents saw live once called Gnarly Skull (what a crap name) but they're real hardcore, and another is known round here called Killsaw, their real sick. All of them are underrated, like Buckethead. lol
Sigh, totally awesome and crazy band! Always doing something new with their albums and can also go from black/thrash metal to pop music suddenly without warning. I recommend listening to "Corpsecry-Angelfall"( download at Sighs media page ). Entombed, a death-ish metal band(some call em "Death n Roll").The bands myspace page, I really recommend the song Chief Rebel Angel on the page and also this music video; Damn Deal Done. Pain of Salvation, an experimental metal band with alot of genres mixed in. Is always doing something different with their albums which makes them an interesting listen for most(including disco music.. o.O). My space page. Also 2 videos by Pain of Salvation; Foreword from Entropia album and In the Flesh from "The Perfect Element 1".
[QUOTE="Big_Bad_Sad"]I like a French band called Gojira. I dont know how big they are in USA, if at all, but theyre not very big in the UK.LoG-Sacrament
gojira arent very big here but they are touring in NA with lamb of god, trivium, and machinehead. that should help. i was gonna go to that cpncert, but i was out of town that day, i was so sad
Melechesh, Amon Amarth, Therion, Finntroll, Lacuna Coil, Yakuza, Verbal Deception, Rudra, Intestine Baalism, Ten Masked Men, Old Man's Child, Nile, Satyricon, Scuurvy and Korpiklaani are all good. Also Caninus is a really different metal bandwww.myspace.com/caninus

Sonata Arctica is one of my favorite bands:D What's your favorite song/ album. Personally I like all of Reckoning Nights. i don't really have a favorite album, but my favorite song is either Don't Say a Word, or San Sebastian

Well, name some of the metalcore bands so we know to get out.As I Lay Dying, Between the Buried and Me, and other bands with similarly overdrawn and stupid names.

Would I be wrong in assuming that Sonata Arctica is safe?
