Metalheads report in \m/

[InfiniteSingularity]

OP, I can tell you're a young 'un still fairly early on in discovering this genre. Half those bands aren't strictly speaking metal and the others are distinctly mainstream ones.

This is my collection thus far:

There is a large amount of metal I've listened to and I don't like. That said, I'm still discovering, that's mostly why this thread exists

 

[TriggerHappyAngel]

I mostly listen to Sabaton, Disturbed and Alestorm, but I'm open to any kind of metal

 

[IxHADOUKENxI]

Personally Im a huge Black Dahlia Murder fan along with Parkway Drive Avenged Sevenfold Rammstein Slipknot Young Guns Miss May I Winds of Plague and Disturbed I love them all

My favorites have to be Freak Kitchen (Swedish progressive band) and Megadeth.

Dillinger Escape Plan

I find the bands I like aren't specifically a "metal" band, but rather have metal parts in some of their songs, or have metal songs. Like Nirvana and Porcupine Tree.

I don't mind metal, though I really don't like the direction its been moving since the end of the 90's.

 

[Shadow-Phoenix]

I'm a mixed bag when it comes to metal when its from Rammstein to Disturbed i like a lot of aspects of metal except a lot that involves sensless screaming.

At the momento i'm listening to a great metal song from Elena Siegman called 115 and its actually quite good for the game its paired with =3.

 

[Stevo_s]

maudlin of the Well? anybody? Well to call them Metal would be pretty insulting to them. they are/were far beyond anything metal could ever hope to be.

same with Kayo Dot.

 

[Scarecrow]

I'm into a lot of stuff like this right now:

[lambsheep]

Cancer bats are awesome, a southern american metal band. I would recomend more bands but I think everything has been recomended allready.

 

[Eric_Autopsy]

Meshuggah, Strapping Young Lad, a lot of Soilwork recently, Mnemic and Dark Tranquility is my list atm.

 

[DanielBrown]

Thrasher reporting in.
Overkill, Annihilator, Tankard, Suicidal Tendencies, Megadeth, Kreator. You can't go wrong with those bands.

 

[InfiniteSingularity]

Just thought i'd say, your avatar is awesome

Can someone recommend me some good slipknot songs, I'm intrigued by them. I decided I like the band but not the music, yet. Note: I do not like Duality, and Before I Forget and other popular songs I'm not a fan of either.

Thanks, man.
I don't know what it is, though. Type 'Timewave Zero' into Google Images and it should pop up somewhere.

As for Slipknot, I'd reccomend the songs Left Behind and Wait and Bleed. I especially like the latter. I don't know why.

You don't know what it is? It's lateralus, by Tool, one of the greatest albums of all time

 

[Nazz3]

Here's some recs with albums:

Wintersun - Wintersun
At the Gates - Slaughter of the Soul, With Fear I Kiss the Burning Darkness
Dimmu Borgir - Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia, Death Cult Armageddon, Spiritual Black Dimensions
3 Inches of Blood - Advance and Vanquish
Necrophagist - Epitaph, Onset of Putrefaction
Kalmah - Swamplord, They Will Return, The Black Waltz

And plenty more if needed.

Wintersun is amazing, and I cant wait for Time, its finally coming on spring

Four pages of metal talk and no one brings up Chevelle? (at least not that a find feature showed me. I'm not reading all that)

...Makes me a sad panda. Chevelle may be pretty simplistic but they do such an amazing job really capturing powerful emotions that they became a favorite band of mine years ago.

I'm really into the 'Nu-Metal' as they call it. Disturbed, Korn, Taproot. Things like that. I love songs that make me feel like I could wrestle with a Mac truck and win.

 

[dbmountain]

Technical Death Metal like Sulaco, Lethargy, Dim Mak, Gorguts, Cryptopsy, Atheist, and Human Remains

Yes. Yes. Very much yes.
