Ah, each to their own – I like the old stuff but prefer the latter. Funnily enough saw ’em about 10 yrs ago – actually went to see the support (Lacuna Coil) – but didn’t really get on with much of their stuff til I started listening to Come Clarity.

I’ve got another 20 years on you and I’m still finding stuff
I like from time to time 😀

Gojira. New album this year is brilliant. And not new, but if you haven’t checked them out Lamb of God and Opeth are both great in different ways.

Volbeat- maybe not heavy enough for you, but they are a bit different and good live.

Disturbed
Soil
Machine head
Clutch
Raging speed horn

All superb

Though you just can’t beat oldskool Motorhead

Northwind- I hope you corrected that student when he recommended Bad Religion as a new punk band :lol

I’ll second Sikth. What about Mastodon?

I used to really love me a Bristol based band called One Dice. They have only put out one album but it’s bloody ace this if a tad short.

Shadows Fall are another quality band with quite an old school sound.

Ah, each to their own – I like the old stuff but prefer the latter. Funnily enough saw ’em about 10 yrs ago – actually went to see the support (Lacuna Coil) – but didn’t really get on with much of their stuff til I started listening to Come Clarity

I really like Come Clarity, Soundtrack to Your Escape etc but just can’t get on with the last album. Can’t put my finger on why because I’m not against bands evolving.

Clayman is bloody brilliant though.

Caladan Brood now purchased, that is a whole new genre to me. Like an easier to listen to Cradle.

Metal is such massive genre these days so I’ll suggest a few for variety

For Djent
Periphery
Tesseract

More Rock then I’d look at Alter Bridge, tending to metal look at Tremonti

Devil Driver are well worth look if groove metal’s your thing

Fear factory for a bit of industrial metal

Bit of melodic death metal checkout Amon Amarth – they’re the full on swords, sandals and full on viking horn

Another vote for Volbeat. And Clutch (and if you like them then Lionize and Five Horse Johnson). Orange Goblin are still about as are Skindred.

But not Raging Speedhorn. Oh dear god they were awful. Just a constant scream though I imagine it fits perfectly with Corby. And not particularly new, Kerrap were creaming themselves over them over 15 years ago whilst I was still at school… In fact a lot of the suggestions aren’t really that new. Maybe I’ve missed out on less than I thought.

Went to a metal club a while back, was pretty much the oldest person there by a decade but they were still playing stuff that was worn out when I was 18.

Opium or Decade (Studio 24)? Or the Craphouse if you were on the other coast? Seems to mirror my experiences.

Abhor Volbeat.

If you’re looking for British Sludge/Stoner/Doom, and let’s face it who isn’t, then check out Slabdragger – riff after sludgeadelic riff. Love em.

The new Gojira album, while certainly a lot less heavy and aggressive than their previous releases is a work of art imo.

If you’ve Spotify then the best way I’ve found to find new music is via their curated playlists as well as user playlists.

Blimey I saw Bad Religion at the Electric Ballroom in the late eighties (88?), they were considered to be veterans back then.
