I like fucking loads but the joint favourites would have to be:

• Iron Maiden
  Five Finger Death Punch (Who I saw live on my Birthday )
  Avenged Sevenfold
  Pantera

The big four also deserve a mention. But I like too many metal bands to list here.

 

[WrongSprite]

Born of Osiris
Suicide Silence
Chimaira
Trivium
Lamb of God
Malefice
Mnemic
Opeth
Slipknot
Soil

There's a few.

The Black Dahlia Murder, Bring me the Horizon and As blood runs black are my top three listens right now. Going to see Between the buried and me this week, should be dope!

 

[RyQ_TMC]

Ensiferum, Korpiklaani and Rootwater. Oh, and Eluveitie.

EDIT: Currently, that is. This list tends to change a lot.

Northland might turn out nice, I'd keep an eye on them if I were you.

[TheRightToArmBears]

Anthrax
Slayer
Testament
Iron Maiden
Lamb Of God
Machine Head
Children Of Bodom
Mastodon
Devildriver
In Flames

Thar be the top ten! Plus special mention to Alestorm, for being pirates and I met the lead singer at a Testament gig.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

The only band that I can really think of that wouldn't set the more musically inclined into "that's not metal!" frenzies is Austrian Death Machine.

 

[EMFCRACKSHOT]

Amon Amarth is the only one of mine that hasn't already been said XD

 

[IronCladNinja]

Iron Maiden and Megadeth are my favorites. Iron Maiden more so. Saw them live, blew my mind.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Strapping Young Lad.

This shit moves my soul.

I keep seeing varying opinions on whether they count as metal, or if they're straight-up hard rock, or something.

On the chance that they're metal, I'll note that I like them, too.
