[Closed] Recommend Me Some Metal Music .....

Something completely unassociated, and more rock than metal but brilliant - Chinatown by Thin Lizzy.

Scott Goreham's solo (the 2nd one) is one of the best out there.

textures - any of the 3 albums, dont worry about the EP they first released, production quality is a bit rubbish and they were still finding their style.

Bang on the money there Phil 8)

Times of Grace - Hymn of a Broken Man
Alexisonfire - any album really
Unearth
Skindred for something a little different
Chiodos
Lamp of God
Seemless
Alterbridge
Black Stone Cherry
The last two/three are more rock than metal but well worth a look.

You need some Sloth:

Opeth - Still Life, and Blackwater Park, also by them.

Dragonforce 🙂

(and Nightwish)

Otep?

drowning pool
mastodon
tool
godsmack

well thats what im liking at the moment

if you like textures, then other bands i've got on the same playlist as them at the moment are:

Aliases (ex sikth)
Sikth - both albums, first ones a bit more hectic its worth noting.
TesseracT - mainly singy, all about teh grooves
Visions - young band, but very promising album
Architects - hollow crown could be a good album to start with
Periphery - only got one album out and can't remember the name, but it's a goodn

then its worth mentioning:
skindred are fun, if you like the bouncyness then system of a down dont disappoint when looking for old school fun
earthtone9 - becuase, well they're awesome.
Cynic
Scar Symmetry
bury tomorrow - young uk band, similar to 'killswitch engage' in that its screamed verse, sung chorus formula but confident band making a good impression around the world at the moment.

ohhhhhh gunna edit in - 'Circles' from Oz 😀

Killswitch Engage (especially Alive or Just Breathing)
Fear Factory
Strapping Young Lad
Turisas (for all your battle metal needs)
Eluveitie (for all your metal hurdy gurdy needs)
Dimmu Borgir (feel the pomposity! FEEL IT!)

I watched a video he other day, think it was nightwish, honestly I thought it was a reformed Abba dressed as pirates for Eurovision. Shocking.

Can't really help, generally like the shoutier bands. New Cancer Bats album? New Gallows with a bloke from Alexis on Fire?

Been around for a couple of decades. but I've listening to a lot of Fear Factory recently, never really surpassed in terms of ultra clinical, industrial thrash.

Maybe Meshuggah too?

EDIT, thanks philconsequence, didn't know earthtone9 had reformed

Oh yeah good shout on Mastodon, new albums a belter.

Nightwish deffo have a scandinavian cheezyness to to them but i love it 🙂

Pantera! Cowboys from Hell yes pleaaaase
Or if you want something a little less heavy, and a little newer Bullet For My Valentine 😐

Do like Skindred.

My ears hurt ..... 😉

if we're going oldschool then:

all that remains
American head charge
god forbid
lamb of god
misery signals

also couple others to check out:

red enemy - irish chaps, lovely guys
sylosis
the arusha accord
the dillinger escape plan
karnivool
mudvayne
sky eats airplane

JettBlack
&you&I
SLAYER always get a mention cos I flippin' love 'e
Fugazi
Alice Donut
Dinosaur Jr
All
Husker Du
killdozer
pissed jeans
F*cked up
Agnostic front

Probably not what you're after but its metal of sorts and all well worth a listen in my book. 😉

whilst i'm feeling all loved up i might as well mention that the first gig mrsconsequence watched me perform at was main support to skindred at a sold out show. we destroyed the place and had a better crowd reaction than them... pretty humbling and amazing feeling. who knows, if it wasnt for skindred i might not be getting married to her!

Disturbed?

edit: too Slow

As no one has mentioned them yet I'll also throw in This lot-
Feed the Rhino
Pulled apart by horses
Parkway Drive
Blackened steel
And for some old school you've got to love Biohazard.

Check 'em!

Superjoint Ritual

Disturbed 😆

I'm really enjoying Rammstein at the mo.

Otherwise Pantera.

I used to work in the Library in Pill, you'd see Benji wandering round with his kids. just looked like a typical newport resident in his leisure wear.

Not sure I'd call Fugazi metal btw (even if they are awesome).

I've looked at my iPod, and I've been listening to Swashbuckle, pirate-metal FTW.

5 Finger Death Punch

My mate's band Dyscarnate are freaking awesome and doing quite well (US tours supporting big bands):

Not sure I'd call Fugazi metal btw (even if they are awesome).

not sure much of what I posted was Metal... just what I like and its in the area-ish 🙂

the one and only Dimebag

well, seeing as it's degenerated into "loud music I like" rather than what the OP wanted, my top tip is Converge, I bloody love 'em.

Watched them in CBGBs with The Hope Conspiracy, made me feel well tough.

Listening to a lot of Devin too recently, and SYL - natch. Love the video for Juular

"Reign in blood" by Slayer is the best metal album of all time.

Also
Hatebreed
Billy Talent
Prong
Corrosion of conformity
Nuclear Assault
Kreator

Nice mix of crossover,80's thrash and new stuff there

It's been said before, but Opeth; pay close attention to those bass fills!

Maybe more hardcore than metal but try:

Your Demise
Bring me the horizon
Architects

All good and better than Gallows but still make plenty of noise!

@ Blimmer, cheers for reminding me of Devin Townsend. Didn't get to see him perform at Bloodstock last year, but footage shows he was amazing.

Anything by Chimaira:

Kylesa
Monster Magnet
Voivod

More Phil:

Good shout on Kylesa and Converge!

Mudvayne?

Mushroomhead (first heard them on a Props Mag BMX vid, around 2000...)

Pffffftttttt to both of those:

Maybe a bit more rock than metal but I am loving the Furyon album. Well good.

Alexisonfire

Deaf Havana

Mallory Knox

Bring Me the Horizon

all a bit fluffy for my tastes
