Ah. My post only included Metallica, and then only in a quote. I've only ever listened to one song by Megadeth ("Sweating Bullets"...which, granted, I like). I thought you were talking about me getting flamed for being the only person on the Escapist willing to admit to liking Dragonforce. Now that would be a flamewar...one that I wouldn't participate in, granted.kaziard said:
What the hell? Everyone is naming these hardcore/deathcore/metalcore/EpicFail, and Cliche bands (Anthrax, Megadeth, Metallica, etc.) that you would expect them to name!
Where's the diverse bands?
OK anyway, my favorite METAL (not emo, screamo, deathcore, hardcore,hard rock) bands are (in no order)
1. Gorod (Gorgasm FRA)
2. Hieronymus Bosch (RUS)
3. Artillery (DEN)
4. Annihilator (CAN)
5. Vintersorg (SWE)
Now THOSE are non-cliche, real metal bands.

Did you see the Strapping Young Lad easter egg in Fallout 3? Presidential Metro on a computer terminal!Nifty said:
Real men listen to Strapping, it doesn't come much heavier than that.
1) Darkthrone. Fantastic black metal, fantastic death metal (especially their Frostland Tapes). Their earliest demo Land Of Frost is really fucking raw. Fuck Off And Die was an entertaining heavy \ black attack, but Dark Thrones and Black Flags surpassed it.
2) Morbid Angel. Classic death metal. From the almost-thrash approach of Altars of Madness to the guttural Blessed are the Sick (these are the only albums I've heard), they're fantastic. I've heard that Heretic is not as good.
3) Bathory. Some people might say that Under the Sign of the Black Mark was the first proper black metal album. Whether that's true, their journey from thrash \ black, through black and viking, through a rather lacking thrash re-visit, and back to viking, lots of fantastic albums resulted.
4) Venom. Dead from Mayhem said that there would be no Mayhem without Venom. Indeed, Venom were raw as fuck whilst still being metal. Their album Black Metal started with a chainsaw through their studio door, and it all gets better from there. They've continued for so long, and I haven't listened to their recent stuff, but their old stuff is fantastic.
5) Xasthur. Xasthur get a lot of shit for being one of the darlings of the suicidal \ depressive black metal stuff from America, and also for using drum machines on most of the albums. That said, once I picked up Telepathic with the Deceased, and Defective Epiphet, I knew that I was in this depressive cycle for the long haul.

Metallica (Lightning/Master albums still pulse through my head involuntarily)
Judas Priest (Painkiller album. 'nuff said.)
Children of Bodom (Melodic Death/black metal/techno mix is pure awesome)
Dethklok (even though it's a parody, still brutal. Where the hell is that second album?)
Trivium
I noticed a lot of lamb of gods on this list. Did they come out with a new album that totally kicked ass or something? I like listening to them, but i thought the general metal community's view of them was "ooh they're all power chords and dont have any real talent"

Xasthur and Summoning are some of my favorite BM bands. Burzum is up there too. Now that Varg is out, he's said that he's working on a new project.MusicalFreedom said:
