Agalloch should really get much more credit than they do, personally I find them better than Opeth. They have a similar sound and themes throughout their songs. Don Anderson, the lead guitarist of this band has a side project which is probably my favorite metal band, Sculptured; Avant-garde/Progressive metal.
Cynic though they are pretty popular, people don't give them credit because they get lumped into the Death Metal scene.
Daylight Dies, very good melancholic Death/Doom metal band
Earshot easy to listen to alt metal/rock band, singer sounds a lot like MJK of Tool
Feos is a one man shoegaze/black metal project that is very good
Giant Squid is a really catchy Sludge group who recently released an amazing album
Ihsahn is the project of one of the guitarists of Emperor, it has obvious black metal influences, but it also has a power metal overtone.
November's Doom is a band that doesn't have a big fanbase, personally, they sound like just another Death/Doom metal band, but they have a good sound, they just don't do much with it sadly.
Katatonia is a good Doom/Dark metal band out of Switzerland, the Jonas Renske of this band and Mike Akerfeldt of Opeth are good friends, they formed a small, short lived outfit October Tide. Mike and a few of the band members of Katatonia and other musicians formed the group Bloodbath which is a good Death/Gore metal band.
Warning is a good traditional Doom band. on the same coin, Winter is a good Funeral Doom/Death metal group which share a lot of the same influence.

I feel I can't answer your question. You see bands like Opeth that are quite heavy will never be "big" in the Metallica sense of the word and I am happy about that. I don't want any of my music to get big, because big bands get watered down and drawn out. Also metal in general is something that is more a scene not a trend. It isn't meant to make huge amounts of money anymore, and most bands that are big to us fans will never make what mainstream music makes moneywise. We won't rule the world, but we'll rule our world and that's good enough.
Baroness: Progressive Sludge Metal (Lead Singer does album/T-shirt artwork for bands like Darkest Hour, Pig Destroyer, Torch and Kylesa)
Mastodon: Progressive Sludge Metal
Kylesa: Sludge Metal
Between The Buried & Me: Progressive Death Metal
Intronaut: Progressive Death Metal/Jazz Fusion
3: Progressive Metal
The Megas: Video Game Metal
Just off the top of my head...

If I had to name an underated 80's hair metal band that probably none of you have heard of then Loudness comes to mind. Check out their Soldier of Fortune Album. I still love to mix it in to my workout montage along with survivor and stan bush lol
if you're looking for metal in general... well I know an awesome Death metal band... Lamb Of God. if you don't know them then you aint into the harder end of metal...
Got my vote.WrongSprite said:Seconded.woem said:Quoted for truth. Seriously, in my opinion Death Magnetic is the best album they ever made. When I heard they were making an Unforgiven 3 I was really hoping that they weren't going to screw it over, but it turned out to be brilliant.05rutterb said:Thank you!NoMoreSanity said:Metallica.
You make your point good sir, an quite an excellent one I may add, your right tho I'm always hoping that metal never, ever goes mainstream but here I am =/Anarchy In Detroit said:
Definitely Nightwish. Havent listened to the others tho...L33tsauce_Marty said:
Also, Mercenary and Soilwork
Paradise Lost: they're incredible
Porcupine Tree: seriously, I don't know how they're not bigger than say... Oasis. They write better music and could actually appeal to a greater audience
Agalloch: because of the serious win of the album Ashes Against The Grain.

Oh yeah them too. Also Bullet for My ValentineEvil Jak said:Sonic Syndicate, however when they release their next album I think the word will start spreading... I think it has begun a bit already, they have toured with In Flames and stuff so yeah... and the bassist is super-hot, Karin Axelsson.
But metal is generally underrated, most of my friends dun like it...
I dun find Sonic Syndicate THAT good tho... I find their lyrics to be not so good... but dammit karin is soooo hot...
