Metal is a very diverse genre, what other sort of music do you enjoy? This will probably indicate whether you're into industrial, thrash, et cetera.
I'd recommend you start off with Metallica & Megadeth, they're two of the 'big four' of thrash metal. Their stuff isn't that far off from rock and is pretty influential.

Super badass banshee screams gooooooooooooo!
Deadly Sinnahs!
3IOB is still my favourite band ever several years on from when I first heard them. You know I like the one Cradle of Filth song that was featured in Brutal Legend, bizzarely I only like that one song only out of their entire collection.
I really like the sort of narrative intro better than the rest of the song. It helps that I watching the Higurashi anime at the time and the first verse gives me heavy Higurashi vibes.
Plus a Midnight Mare that tramples dreams sounds fucking awesome.

I know fuck all about metal cause I mainly listen to "girly" music but I'll give it my best shot...
Any of those tickle your fancy. I'm not totally sure whether Bing Bjamin is grunge or metal but I tried...

Needs moar Iron Maiden (most things do), that or Black Sabbath or Judas Priest - the definitive heavy metal bands.
Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time Album
Judas Priest- Painkiller Album
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath Album
Other than that, maybe the Rust in peace album by megadeth or I'm really enjoying the tales along this road album by korpiklaani

Well here's a few of my faves-
Megadeth - Take No Prisoners
Pantera - well, pretty much almost any Pantera song, one of my faves is Message In Blood
Probably less accessible-
DevilDriver - Burning Sermon

DUDE, LISTEN. CHECK OUT MASTODON. I WOULD EMBED A VIDEO BUT I ALWAYS SCREW THAT UP, BUT SERIOUSLY. MASTODON, IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!Reincarnatedwolfgod said:
Well, I haven't seen these guys mentioned yet so...
if you're into progressive death metal, Omnium Gatherum. Their songs are very melodic, with low, growling vocals. Never was a fan of the screamers. They also use clean vocals every now & again.
Also, I second Devin Townsend. If for nothing more than the fact he went from the musical stylings of SYL to Ghost. Not many musicians could make that transition gracefully. He's great.
..and my favorite song of theirs.

If you like more melodic stuff with lyrics you can actually hear and understand then I must recommend you try listening to some symphonic/progressive/power metal.
Some suggestions:
Sonata Arctica:
Nightwish:
Dream Theater:
There's lots more I could refer you to if you like any of those, just send me a pm or reply here and I'd be glad to share more

Aside: Just quoting because I took about 15min to write this and I think it's not a bad "Intro to Metal" tutorial (if I do say so myself).Reincarnatedwolfgod said:

Experimental
Apocalyptica (Inquisition Symphony; 7th Symphony)
Van Canto (I don't know any of their albums, this one's just good for a laugh)
Heavy Metal

AC/DC (Back in Black)
Black Sabbath (Master of Reality)
Thrash Metal
Metallica (The Black Album; Master of Puppets)
Megadeath (Risk: Japanese Edition {comes with Duke Nukem Theme})

Death Metal
I don't know any death metal...
I second Sabaton. One of my favourie bands. I have seen them 3 times including their first headlined american show. I even managed to get my dad and girlfriend into the band. They are an amazing metal band, an even more impressive live band. They are one of the hardest working bands out there and have the best appreciation for their fans. I have never seen a band care so much about giving back to their fans.GrimTuesday said:
P.S. most of what the previous person posted is their new stuff. Also check out primo victoria, into the fire, metal machine, attero dominatos, etc.
Some bands I really like are Edguy, Avantasia (these two have the same singer), Sonata Arctica, Van Canto, and Nightwish.
