Yup. I used to be really into the death metal genre, but now I've settled out of it a bit, and am kinda expanding a lot (compared to before, anyway).
Isis, Maudlin of the Well, Protest The Hero, Electric Wizard (Dopethrone), Cephalic Carnage, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Sikth, Katatonia, and Battle of Mice are a few of my favorites.
I never really got into power metal or folk metal too much. And I'm not a big fan of black metal.
I also play/have played drums in 3 metal bands.
let me revise my list...
Amon Amarth, Baroness, Between the Buried and Me, Black Sabbath, Boris, Building Better Bombs, Converge, Dethklok, Dillinger Escape Plan, Dimmu Borgir, Down, Electric Wizard, Genghis Tron, Gojira, High on Fire, Isis, Kyuss, Mastodon, Meshuggah, Metallica (older), Opeth, Ozzy, Pantera, Pelican, The Red Chord, Rosetta, Scissorfight, Slipknot, Static X, System Of A Down, Sunn O))) Today Is The Day, Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza, Tool,
Yeah I love metal.
Born of Osiris, Whitechapel, All Shall Perish, The Black Dahlia Murder to name a few.
i like alot of the melodic death metal-children of bodom, kalmah, catamenia, insomnium, arch enemy, stuff like that.
did anyone get the new children of bodom album? its not their best but still is amazing to hear.
Im a lot into metal and have been since i was 13 or so i especially like black metal i think it is the ultimate soundtrack for evil and human misery and misanthropic feelings but at the same time it can sometimes be beautiful and even romantic in its own way...i also love to listen to some kick ass head banging thrash metal like Sodom,Celtic Frost,Destruction etc
Nothing like some smokin and listening/playing metal. I love it and had inspired me to first play drums. Lately I like:
Dimmu Borgir
Opeth
Chimaira
Through the Eyes of the Dead
Old Metallica
The Black Dahlia Murder
Old Sepultura
Down
Meshuggah
SYL
Exodus
Gojira
old and new Machine Head
If you guys wanna see the closest thing to glory days Sepultura check out Cavalera Conspiracy. Marc Rizzo can shred! As for the new Bodom cd... I agree. I just felt kinda "meh" or just okay.
I've always liked Metallica (well, before they jumped the shark lol) and of course the cheesier 80s hair metal bands like Ratt. I never considered myself a big metal fan though. However I'm dating a guy who is really into metal and played me a Killswitch Engage album last week- I was floored. Really spectacular stuff, and from a bunch of W-MA dudes too, woot woot. The vocals are spectacular and the complexity of the composition is impressive in the way that Tool albums are. Good metal that shows musical virtuosity is a beautiful thing!
Btw how did Eminem get listed in this thread? Am I missing something? :wtf:
call me a metal head....new bands, I dig august burns red, Bloodjinn, Sanctity, dig as i lay dying music, not feeling the christian theme, but man, they wail...not too many others I guess..lol, lil older, slipknot static x, SOAD, manson of course...love all metallica before black album...slayer are metal gods of course...many others....metal seems to be coming back after these last few "emo-phase" years....lol....i hope.....:jointsmile::thumbsup:

I don't know man I like GWAR, Black Sabbath, Type O Negative, Slayer, and Miyavi. I guess that is as hardcore as it gets for me.
Yeah, I absolutely hate metal........ ;)
Oh wait, nevermind... I just looked at my User Name.
Wayy too many bands to list, and many of you have beat me to the punch. Stinky, I am glad to see that you had the same experience when listening to Killswitch Engage for the first time. Some of it gets a bit fluffy down the line... but some of that shit is bonkers! :thumbsup:
P.S. There are a bunch of amazing metal bands from New England... Massachusetts especially!
As for the few bands I have seen live:
Lamb of God
and at the same show... front row... in a SMALL bar. ...
Shadows Fall
All that Remains
Protest the Hero
The Showdown
SIIIIIICK!!!!!
Plus the solo concerts that I put on in my living room with my Ibanez RG5ex1 :jointsmile:
