Just to let you know these are some of the bands I have been listening to: Wintersun, Omnium Gatherum, Archeon, Arsis, Cavalera Conspiracy, Ensiferum, Illnath, Imperanon, Mastodon, Mors Principium Est, Light This City, ... As well as the typical, Iron Maiden, Dark Tranquility, Yngwie Maasltem, Liquid Tension Experiment. So any other good bands are welcome.

These guys aren't exactly metal (well maybe a little) but they are OUTSTANDING musicians. you will not be dissapointed
if you can mix sad but true (metallica) with Clint Eastwood (Gorillaz) you gotta be tallented

Some of my favourites from the above list. If you haven't heard Lykathea Aflame's album you're missing out IMO.

 

[dspang]

Warbringer - Wake Into Nightmares - Ripping thrash.
Death Angle - Killing Season - Really good. A little less in your face than Warbringer.

I can't say it's ever come up, haha. I guess I do look a bit like him now that I've seen a picture of him

I'll also recommend Benighted if you're looking for some energetic brutal death metal. They also make excellent use of breakdowns in their songs. Check out their song Foetus on their myspace page.

 

[Townyj]

The main bands i listen to for metal/hardcore/death metal

Soilwork
All That Remains
Poison The Well
36 Crazy Fists
Everytime I Die (My favourite Thrash/Hardcore band)
The Bronx (For a touch of Punk/Hardcore, On the light side really)
Stonesour (For the Aggro in me)

 

[SiriuslyCold]

anyone like Trivium's latest Shogun?

 

[sailboat]

I've been getting into a lot of sludge metal so here are some recommendations:

Boris - Pink (amazing album)

Isis - Oceanic, the vocals threw me off a bit at first but grows on you kinda like Opeth

I think somebody already mentioned Savatage's Streets. Not sludge but it's a good metal album, kind of cheesy but w/e, Dream Theater still holds the crown in cheesy lyrics.

This is more instrumental rock than metal but Pelican's The Fire In Our Throats Will Beckon the Thaw (yeah, I typed the whole thing) pointed me towards Isis so give it a listen.
