Favorite Metal Bands

The topic says it all, who is ur favorite metal band? All metal applies.

Some of mine are BFMV, Job For A Cowboy, Suicide Silence, Hate Eternal, just to name a few.

Of course I'm into the screaming and growling vocals.

 

I admit, I'm a late bloomer- my fiance just got me into metal, and I am HOOKED.
my fave. is Iron Maiden (funny, I always used to hate them until I REALLY listened to the music and lyrics).
Then Megadeth and.....uh, is System of a Down considered metal? King Diamond rocks, and so does Mercyful Fate.

 

Well, metal is a very broad genre, so here are my top 5 "metal" bands

1. Mudvayne
2. Sepultura
3. Paradise Lost
4. ISIS
5. White Zombie

 

Depends on my mood, but some of my favourites are classic stuff like Iron Maiden, Diamond Head, Pentagram, Saxon, and bands like Rainbow, Uriah Heep and early Sabbath if you call that metal. Other metal that I really appreciate is folk, doom and black stuff like Summoning, Satyricon, Falkenbach, Sleep, Candlemass, Reverend Bizarre etc.
King Diamond's stuff is awesome as well :cheers2:

 

Shit man....I hate answering these questions but I always feel like I need to...

The Faceless

any of the bands in my top 15 I guess.

like Asmodean it depends on my mood

 

haha, our lists are pretty identical, I didn't say baroness because I believe baroness is post-rock above all else. Good stuff

 

here are my current favorite 5, i have way too many overall favorites to list them all

1. Arch Enemy
2. Children of Bodom
3. Suicide Silence
4. Heaven Shall Burn
5. Cannibal Corpse

 

Metallica (mostly old)
Black Sabbath
Testament
Slayer
Judas Priest
Iron Maiden

.......and what the fucks with all the Nu metal shit, I thought this was the heavy metal forum.

 

Favorite metal bands would mostly be the classic metal bands such as:

Black Sabbath-all line ups
Deep Purple-Ritchie Blackmore is a guitar god
AC/DC-Bon Scott greatest frontman
Alice Cooper
UFO
Morbid Angel-My favorite death metal band of all time

 

I like the avant-garde shit...

Trepalium
Dysrhthmia
Behold... The Arctopus
Black Elk (more like noise rock but whatever)
Monarch!

And for some tech:

The Sawtooth Grin (not really metal but close enough)
Necrophagist (props for the beethoven riffs and neoclassical style)
Malignancy
Hectic Patterns (more avant garde but whatever)
Orgone
Psyopus (more jazz/neoclassical fusion)

Not metal.

 

I agree -- those are clearly hard rock from the riff structure.

 

Deep Purple can be considered proto-metal, but other than that not really. I'd put them in the same boat as Black Sabbath. But as for my favorites, as of now it has to be Skeletonwitch, Amon Amarth, Obituary, Origin, Marduk, Dekapitator, and a bunch more. The list goes on and on and on.
