Favorite Metal/Death Metal/Black Metal/etc. Band

[Gr333d]

Was listening to some death metal tracks and enjoyed it somewhat.
Anybody in the community have any suggestions for my next metal listen?
If you want, give a short reason why you like metal.

EDIT: best death metal band I've found so far is Heaven Shall Burn, check it out.

[Gr333d]

In before a huge list of scene deathcore, cannibal corpse and trve back metal.

I love Opeth and don't mind a bit of Deathcore (Job, Blood runs black).

I don't listen to it all the time tho, its a sometimes genre

 

[superbleeder12]

Agalloch, Amesoures, Drudkh, Wolves in the Throne Room, Sculptured, Falls or Rauros, Coldworld, Enslaved, October Tide, Katatonia, Opeth, Bloodbath, Ihsahn.

That's about all the metal that I listen to. I listen to more Post Rock and Shoegaze than anything.

I find that a lot of the more extreme metal acts suffer from Sturgeon's law to a large extent.

 

[nohorsetown]

Jethro Tull! ha!...

..naw, but actually I'm not sure.. I listen to a lotta metal-influenced stuff but not much Metal Proper. I'd say Goblin Cock, but that's closer to stoner rock. I think. Maybe. I dunno. Genres are weird.

 

[Gr333d]

Goblin Cock

I lol'd hard

 

[City of Dis]

all things considered, I'd prolly have to go with Fantômas.

generally: The Red Chord, Whitechapel, The Melvins, Black Sabbath, or the Dillinger Escape Plan... there's just so much good METAL amidst sooo much bad..

 

[City of Dis]

Goblin Cock is also awesome.

 

[Dalisclock]

Does Dethklok count?

If not, Rammstein.

 

[bmf185]

The Black Dahlia Murder.
Born of Osiris.
Whitechapel.
Between the Buried and Me.

 

[Gr333d]

anyone like alternica anymore?

Edit: as in metallica's transformation

 

[Horticulture]

Between the Buried and Me.

Hell yeah...someone in the last metal thread recommended Protest the Hero, which has some similarly weird guitar work.

Mastodon [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=labytsb3gfI]-I don't know why there are clowns.
Russian Circles [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2-hJtJrXxc]-Postrock/Metal. Excellent live. And recorded.
3 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DVEHbDVpeQ]-Interesting songwriting and a man hitting a crash cymbal with an axe at 1:38
Cynic [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fhVLykF3nU&feature=related]-The proggiest of the prog. Now with screaming.
Firewind [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpwPMY0wY2Y] Cloaks! A fat guy! Greeks with guitars!

And some classics: Amon Amarth [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKtIYdU3uRU]

I'm not bashing your music of choice, but I find every death metal or black metal band to be hilariously bad.

Notable exceptions are Slayer, which I firmly classify as "metal", and pretty much all metal that started pre-1980.
