Well, I could recommend Sonata Arctica (as in the other thread). I don't know how many people here listen to it, but they're a great band, IMHO.
GareJei check out the Hibria they the cheesiest album cover ever
metallica rules but i could recomend you ICED EARTH
Well you know that Metallica are one of the best overrated metal bands :P
Edit: Just like to recommend Impaled if you like fast death metal
Fans of Black Sabbath's early/doom stuff will love the band Sleep. ;)
Also, I'd like to recommend Mystifier, which is a Brazilian black metal band. :nod:
hmm... Sleep you'll like High on Fire then since Matt Pike is also in High on FireQuote:

Hmm this is kind of why I made my other thread for reccomending bands, just not exclusively for metal bands...Quote:

If you want to listen to the heaviest, fastest, and most brutal bands I've ever heard of, check out Wormed and Decrepit Birth. Both of them have only have 1 album out, so go buy/download it.
If you're into death metal and you don't listen to Morbid Angel, you should seriously do so, as they're one of the founding fathers of the style. Most people my age are into newer DM bands but once I discovered and got into the older bands like Morbid, Obituary, Deicide, Entombed, Death and Sepultura, I became a huge lover of oldschool death metal. In fact most of the stuff I check out now is old material, I haven't been checking out newer bands lately.
I guarrentee that if you like DM and are 18 or younger you probably won't like Morbid's fist album, but force yourself to give it a few listens, it will grow on you unexplicably. I hated it at first and now it's probably the album that I listen to the most(along with their later material too, which also kicks ass).
Morbid Angel's first 2 albums have a similar sound and feel, the third("Covenant", their most popular) and fourth albums pretty much forged what death metal would sound like after the 2nd half of the 90's. Their 5th album is a nice live show, and the following 2 albums "Formulas Fatal to the Flesh" and "Gateways to Annhialation"(like a slower version of FFtF) also kick unmesurable quantities of ass. Last year's "Heretic" wasn't as great as Gateways, it just had too much filler and wasn't much of an album. Now that they have their old "true" lineup hopefully they'll put out new material.
Behemoth rules. Period. ;)
Nazgul and Uruk-Hai are two Spain-based black metal bands that I've recently become a fan of. If you like good true BM you're going to fucking love both of these bands(one of which is a side-project of the other). Nazgul is a bit more melodic. Hard to find their material though... if you ever spot me on EP's DC hub be sure to grab them from me.
Speaking of melodic black metal, Third Moon kicks ass. They play blackened DM with rather cheerful melodies, highly unusual but totally awesome. "Captured" is a great song.
Rigor Mortis is one kick ass oldschool death/thrash band that recently reunited again. I can't wait until they put out new material and start touring. Get their self titled, you'll love it's mysterious oldschool atmosphere and heaviness.
A band that I really love but haven't talked much about in a while is Godgory. They play very mellow melodic death/doom with lots of acoustic stuff thrown in. Opeth fans are required to check out their "Sea of Dreams" album, now. ;)
Whew... metal rules, doesn't it? :fdance:
Crionic rules..........
Soeru discuss anything from the metal world here cause we need a metal thread here :P
I listen to it and now and then, and it's a quite good band, even though their vocalist has one the cheesiest vocals pronounciations ever. :PQuote:

Okay um... anyone here into oldschool DM? I'm talking 80's/early 90's stuff... Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one that still listens to old DM. Most metalheads my age aren't familiar with a lot of those old bands except for ones that are still around like Deicide and Cannibal Corpse. Obituary and 80's Sepultura kick ass.
I like Death. Carcass is kinda grindy death so don't know if they count. Heard Autospy were good haven't tried them out yet
I used to quite like Sepultura, actually. The Arise-era material was particularly amazing. They were brilliant up until Chaos AD, and even Roots was good, despite the fact that it was nothing like their old albums. They suddenly went downhill when Max left, and I don't think I liked any of the stuff they made after his departure. :(
I dig oldschool DM. Early Death, Bolt Thrower, Macabre, Atheist, Malevolent Creation, Monstrosity + the bands you (er... Soeru, that is) mentioned are all favorites of mine (along with a few others, such as Morbid Angel).
It's a shame oldschool DM seems to be getting less attention by metalheads nowadays...
Edit: W00t! 500th post! It's about damn time... :dizzy:
What about Carnage, Unanimated from Sweden??
Good stuff...
Oh yeah, more recommendations. Vemoth and Silent Winter.
Vemoth is a great new Swedish BM band. They've only released a demo so far, but it is worth getting. Silent Winter is a solo project by a guy called Kevin Lawry.
He plays (epic) doom metal. He's also a very nice guy; I got a free copy of his latest album just for submitting the band to M-A. That's just some useless information for ya, right there.
I fucking love Atheist, Death, and Malevolent! Got to listen to more Monstrosity though, but I was focusing on even older DM. I thought I mentioned Morbid Angel...Quote:

Anyone like Terrorizer? Extremely nice late 80's grind/death. Fans of Napalm Death will love Terrorizer. Vader have a great cover of "Fear of Napalm"Features Morbid Angel's drummer Pete Sandoval... and David Vincent(Morbid's frontman) as a bass session member. They split up a long time ago but they got back together recently and are writing new material. So many old bands getting back together again like Rigor Mortis, and Morbid Angel now have their old lineup. Could a rebirth of DM be around the corner? This would kick ass... I kind of like the whole atmosphere of old DM more than newer stuff, even though newer DM is much more technical and heavier music. Old DM is just so... mysterious and underground-like.
I've acquired these old bootleg videos of Morbid Angel concerts in 1990... damn they are grim and kvlt. Oh yeah, how's that Immortal show I emailed you about, Howie? ;)
Also heard Pete Sandoval is working on an instructional video... sounds interesting. Speaking of which, Cryptopsy's drummer "Flo" is putting out an instructional DVD soon, that might be cool.
Yeah Carcass -or any grind band like Napalm Death for that matter- count. Napalm Death's new album is pretty damned brutal! It's amazing that after so many years ND can still sound more aggressive than ever.Quote:

So yeah, I'm a tad relieved after hearing it, since it's good 'ole Helloween. The new album will be worthy of the Keeper name, I hope. :nod:
Have their album but haven't been listening to it much. It's a pity -_-Quote:

I think it was pretty good, but of course, it's a single so we shouldn't have too high expectations. I never really liked Judas Priest's first single for "Angel Of Retribution", but I ended up loving the album anyway.Quote:

Fade To Black is one of my favorite Metallica-songs, if not my favorite.
Okay, I'm unable to buy all of these, so I'm going to ask all of you: which should I start with? My favorite metal bands right now are System of a Down and Metallica, and I kind of like some Godsmack songs, so where do I start? You especially, Howie, you're the expert =D
Try some melodic death metal bands like Dark Tranquillity, At The Gates, etc, those bands are the easiest bands to access
Hmm I am going to buy an Album tomorrow, any suggestions, I have �10-20 budget.
Carcass - Heartwork
Death - Human
Edit: Actually it would be better if you sorta tell us what music you like
Yeah, hmm, I have a varied taste in music though I veer more towards Metal to goth to video game music, I have a lot of Opeth, Sonata Artica, and VNV Nation on my computer and have nothing else so I think its about time I updated it :SQuote:

Don't want to recommend anything too extreme yet :P
I do like some mad stuff, I have a few other things like Arsis (As recommended by Soeru) some necrophagist, so yeah I would like the names of a few "extreme" bands just in case I should spot them, I mainly do like melodic stuff though.Quote:

Just some random bands out of my head that I'll like to recommend. They might be a bit hard to find. Descend Into Nothingness is highly recommended as they are technical and melodic at the same time
A band I have been listening to lately is ExternalBliss
They are very original and IMO are one of the best metal bands
Cool thanks for the names.Quote:

Btw. I saw Cattle Decapitation along w/ Behemoth and Suffocation, was the first time I listened to Cattle Decap. Their live performance is waaayy much better than their albums. They just make it sound much more intense live. "Humanure" is a kickass grind-your-ass-off album
... but for the m8s who really like to grind, check out some old Exhumed and of course: Cryp-fucking-topsy. "None So Vile" and "Whisper Supremacy" are must-haves in every extreme music listener's CD collection. My neck has never suffered from so much headbanging...
Exhumed's "Gore Metal" is my favorite grind album along with None So Vile, and perhaps Terrorizer's album in 3rd place. There's no specific Napalm Death album I'm a fan of, but their best hits album has lots of great tracks and is an excellent introduction to ND.
LOL Thanks for the rep, I've been meaning to check out Cryptopsy for the past 5 months but I just keep forgetting too. A great kind of new grind band is The Red Chord. I highly suggest checking them out. They mix in alittle hardcore with grind and it some of the best musicianship I've ever heard.
If anyone wants to know a good death/grind band try out Eradykate. They're maybe a bit hard to find but they are worth it. Excellent riffs and yes the bass is audible :P The vocalist has got an amazing range
does anyone play guitar here?
I do! Albeit I can only do the simple riffage and melodies so far. :wacko:
