Well I'd hope they would be depressing "Paradise Lost" is an epic about Satan getting thrown out of heaven. I can't imagine if you name your band after that you would be all smiles.if_then_else said:
On topic call me predictable I am going to suggest an Iron Maiden song. The Man who would be king to be specific.
Or considering we where just talking about epics here's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner"
The Black Dahlia Murder, Protest the Hero, Veil of Maya, Gojira, Mastodon, Between the Buried and Me, Carnifex, Despised Icon, Tool. I could go on and on.
But what if he does not like super-long opuses? If not, he should check outEddie the head said:

OT: Let's get some classics in here. Can't go wrong with the aforementioned Maiden, but there are plenty of other good ones to check out too:
Breaking Benjamin is probably my favorite band in all of music, not just metal. They have a pretty diverse sound.

Seeing as I noticed a mention of Immortal earlier in the thread, figured I should chime in with this:
No, that's not a typo, and yes, it's a pain when attempting to Google (tip: album name is Between Two Worlds, easier to search that). Warriors is the track that got me hooked with its almost methodical slowness, rest of the album is pretty awesome as well.

I'm fond of Tool (as much progressive as metal, but worth a look). Other than that, I'd have to direct you to some old-school metal bands: Iron Maiden (you can hear some punk influences), Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Motorhead (not my brand of vodka, but metal to the core)...maybe look at early Metallica and Megadeth.
Lots of good stuff out there, but Maiden is the place to start, IMHO.

Phew, I was a little worried when reading this thread and the lack of Devin Townsend as a referral, good choice, as an aside I never really did get into his SYL stuff, the rest I can recommend heartily, especially his Ziltoid The Omniscient album.onewheeled999 said:
You could try the two bands my username consists of, if Pagan black metal gives you any enjoyment. I'd recommend Bathory's Hammerheart and Graveland's Creed of Iron as essential albums.
It really depends on what genres you're into. Metal is incredibly diverse with almost countless different sub-genres and styles, so it'd help if you'd list down some of the shit you're interested in.
