No death/black metal; I can't stand repetitive banging and growling (yet). .__.;

well, if you like heavy/thrash metal...and cant stand death/black metal yet...

i suggest something along the lines of classic metal like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest.

For thrash metal, of course get some material from the "big 4"...Slayer, Metallica, Megadeth and Anthrax.

from there, i will assure you you will proceed on to much heavier stuffs.

cheers and stay metal. \m/

Since there's a significant interest in metal in this forum, let us share good metal music. What are your favourite bands? My favourite bands are Opeth, Symphony X and Death. After hearing their music I can't help but feel that all the other music out there are weak in comparison. Opeth is simply the most consistently good band ever; you can see how highly rated they are in Rateyourmusic and AMG. Symphony X has the best vocalist, best guitarist, best keyboard player, best bassist and best drummer ever, and The Odyssey is the best song ever. Death has the best guitar riffs ever, although they are a bit on the too progressive side so I guess many people will not like them. I recommend anyone with interest in Heavy Metal to check out these bands.

wow first entry here.. anyone listens to DT? i think they're very decent and will be watching them in jan! best keyboard player is definitely DT's Jordan Rudess.. Symphony X doesnt have very decent vocals in Paradise Lost as well.. Russell Allen sounds a tad bit too strong on the vocals considering that their genre of music is closer to power metal and should have vocals that are a tad bii cleaner... Opeth is indeed consistently good and is very very ernest in their desire to make good music..most unfortunately they will never come to singapore in their near future..

...metal is just a generalized term. it means HEAVY METAL. if you want to call iron maiden and the likes heavy metal, why cant i call them new wave of british heavy metal!? geez.

"Heavy metal (often referred to simply as metal)"

sorry for double posting.. genre wars are crazy.. well i have to agree on this one though.. heavy metal is metal.. there are no specific attibutes of heavy metal that will distuish itself/ sets it aside as a unique sub genre.. bands that are classified as heavy metal are almost always classified as another more specific subgenre.. didnt you guys notice that?

he might like shadows fall i reckon...

tbh, i dont know why so many people like atreyu, decent at best. and thrice is definitely not metal...they are more hardcore for me, with abit of metal influences. but anyways, great band...i enjoy thrice alot.

cheers for the recommendations.

Those of you who like thrash metal should try out Nevermore; they are probably the best thrash metal band out there at the moment:

INSOMNIUM - THE ELDER

A damn good melodic death metal song. Bass lines aren't very impressive, however the awesome guitar work does make up for it imo.
