Steven Wright.

OR EVEN BETTER:

Tobias Fünke.

[QUOTE="Darth-Caedus"] Eh, ok then... But thrash metal tends to be much faster paced then Maiden >_>Darth-Caedus

Side note: if you love Iron Maiden check out Rotting Christ, similar guitar work, black metalish vocals, very good band.

I agree with Rotting Christ approval!

I would sit and try to convert 20 miles to kilometres, because my country doesn't accept your imperial ways!

After that... I do not know. Perhaps have an ice cream sandwich?

I'm gonna butt right in (because it gives me a sick sense of accomplishment) and say:

Iron Maiden = New Wave Of British Heavy Metal.

They began before Thrash.

And remember kids, without nitpicking we would be overrun with scalp sucking parasites!

Desert Sessions - In My Head... Or Something ... in my pants!

Iron Maiden. Without a doubt.

Municipal Waste,

Candlemass... pretty much all their stuff is great for zombie apocolypse.

Black Sabbath, maybe?

Ziltoid the Omniscient?

I know you specifically requested no Death Metal, but I find certain types of Metal to be theperfectsoundtrack for zombies.

The Mountain Goats - Pale Green Things... In my pants!

NEXT UP:

Mark Lanegan - Where did you sleep last night? ... In bed!

*hope I don't get modded for this*

Candlemass -The Bleeding Baroness... In bed!

Such a fantastic album.

I'd say this one is almost too perfect.

Candlemass - The Hammer of Doom in my pants.

Great album.

NecroKvltMuffin

One of my favorites of the year :D

Defeated Sanity - Engorged with Humiliation

OMG guttural brutal death metal that doesn't suck.

Good sir, you forgot to say "in my pants" or "in bed"!

speaking of which:

God Dethroned - No Man's Land ...in bed!

Damn, this has been a good year for metal so far. And yet so many awesome albums to come!
