[Corven]

A very disappointing lack of Devin Townsend in this thread. Honestly now!

Spoiler

Yes! Love Devin Townsend's stuff, if my avatar wasn't already a dead giveaway. Found out about Devin after searching Google for metal bands where the lead singer doesn't growl or scream (too much anyways) ironic considering his earlier band SYL.

[InfiniteSingularity]

Children of Bodom (mix of power metal and melodic death)

I like what I've heard of CoB. Which album is a good first one to listen to?

 

[smithy_2045]

Bullet For My Valentine
Deep Purple
Deftones
Disturbed
Iron Maiden
Judas Priest
Killswitch Engage
Megadeath
Metallica
Scar Symmetry
Slipknot
System of a Down

 

[Arkhangelsk]

Children of Bodom (mix of power metal and melodic death)

I like what I've heard of CoB. Which album is a good first one to listen to?

Well, their first albums I would say are power metal with harsh vocals.

Spoiler

Their latest albums are less oriented on colorful melodies, and have more heavy riffs and eerie melodies.

Spoiler

My personal favorite of Children of Bodom is their inbetween period with their two albums Follow The Reaper and Hate Crew Deathroll. They mix very heavy riffs with still memorable melodies.

Spoiler

Take your pick. Hopefully most of them will be in your taste. As for what albums to start on: If you like the more power metal-ish stuff, go for Hatebreeder. If you want the new harsh sound, get Blooddrunk. If you want the stuff from their inbetween period, both FTR and HCD are great albums. Personally, I'd go for the latter.

 

[VargRaev]

Why is no one mentioning Týr?!?!

Spoiler

Faroese Pride!

 

[Kajt]

I used to listen to a lot of metal, but not so much any more... Anyway, Sabaton [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhKgzQEhvgk] and Children of Bodom [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84NVNzesY-8] are easily two of my all time favourite bands. Especially Primo Victoria and Follow the Reaper (Follow the Reaper in particular, it's one of few albums where I enjoy all of the songs).

 

[Fraught]

I guess the only bands I listen to that could be considered metal are Diablo Swing Orchestra, Skindred, Alestorm, Mastodon.

I don't know, maybe Maximum the Hormone and Clutch too?

All of those bands are pretty soft - in terms of metal - overall, but eh, they're all classified as metal.

 

[The King of Rock and Roll]

I love Coldplay.

 

[oldskoolandi]

Strapping Young Lad.

[Nigh Invulnerable]

Fucking love metal!
I listen a shit load but some of my favourite S.O.A.D(greatest band ever), Metallica, Opeth, Mastodon, Dream Theater, Slayer, Soundgarden, Rammstein.
Ah beauteful music....

I have a question for you: best Opeth album?

Morningrise by a long shot for me. I know everyone is all over Blackwater Park as "teh best EVAR!!" but I prefer the longer rambling medieval sounding riffs on Morningrise.

OT: Some of my favorites include Mastodon, Tool, Megadeth, Ministry, Metallica, Sleep, Black Sabbath, Mercyful Fate, Dream Theater, Kalmah, and High on Fire.

Two great things at once

 

[Toaster Hunter]

Sabaton. I like metal and military history, making them the perfect band

I also like Ensiferum, among others

 

[Naheal]

I'm a fan of Nightwish, Five Finger Death Punch, some Disturbed, Atreyu, Megadeth, Metallica, Within Temptation, Dream Theater, and Rammstein.

Edit: I am also, far...

Spoiler: more metal than you.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Anthrax are my favourite band of all time, but I listen a fairly varied lot. So long as it's not black, death, (most) viking metal I'll probably give it a go.
