[Gulo]

Finnish Melodic Death Metal band

[Deleted]

Sepultura - friend gave me some tapes from them back in 1996 Love the old stuff with Max.

Rammstein - First album I got was Sehnsucht in 1997, love them since! Also seeing them live in concert from first row, when you feel the heat from Till's burning coat in your face was awesome

Apocalyptica - Listened first to Inqusition Symphony in 1998. Shame, I didn't start earlier

Slipknot - 1999 with their first album.

Also listen a lot to Slayer, Megadeth, Godsmack, SOAD, Metallica, Nevermore and others.

Yeah, my music taste was formed in the last millenia ;D

[Virnu]

Sabaton

Gamma Ray

Freedom Call

Masterplan

I find these my favourites, mostly because I can't stand metal where I cannot understand lyrics.
I enjoy to listen singing as it tells what the song is about.
Best I know is good music combined with good and well sung lyrics

[Lagfest]

Currently enjoying:

Amon Amarth
Devil Driver
Bolt thrower
Down (pure awesome)

etc

[Bonham]

Im surprised I haven't seen it here yet, but...

Dream Theater, also
Iron Maiden
Metallica
Killswitch Engage
Testament
Pantera
System of a Down

and Rush (idc if it's not metal, I'm convinced Neil Peart is jesus so it counts.)

[Raptorg]

Sigh's Hangman's Hymn is such a great album..

Sure, it's 44 minutes of the same thrash drums/blast beat driven avant-garde post-black metal, but it's fucking awesome.

Can't say I'm too fond of their other albums, but it's still all great.
I just prefer Hangman's Hymn's fast, almost symphonic sound. But it's all crazy, eccentric stuff.

[The Core]

Eluveitie, they're bloody awesome epic/folk metal with a dash of death metal.

Elvenking, another epic/folk metal band that's really good.

Equilibrium, a very good german band of the same type as Eluveitie.

How I got into them? Pure luck :P I'm still on the look-out for similarly awesome bands.

[Neverlife]

30 Seconds to Mars
Fall Out Boy
Hawthorne Heights

lol saw this and had to /facepalm hope this dude was just joking around...

To the post the reason I listen to metal is the overwhelming feeling it gives you to KICK ASS! You feel so empowered by it, how can you go wrong? I really enjoy the 'release' you feel from listening to a good Metal CD at full blast while bombing around in your car.

Godforbid (Friend just showed them to me and I can't stop listening!)
Lamb of God (The only thing I like about the South)
Darkest Hour (Don't think I saw anyone else mention them, their Melodic Metal and remind me of Dream Theatre)
In Flames (SWEDISH! can't go wrong w/ Swedish metal)
The Haunted (Their Swedish!)
Clifton (They started in SLC, know some of them personally and love their music.)
Dethklok (you could consider them Mainstream, been in the top 20 on Billboard's top 200 and they aren't even a 'real' band... lol)

those are some. I have seen alot of people mentioning August Burns Red. I used to listen to them a lot but after a while all the Christian Themes get old and aren't that 'metal' IMO but that is me....

[Gupaloo]

Portal: it's the sound of Cthulhu destroying the world, and holy shit it's great.

Megadeth - My most favorite band of all. I love the speed, intensity, amazing guitar solos, and the brutally honest lyrics.

Dio - A legend of metal, that's all there is to say.

Iron Maiden - The first metal band I ever listen to. When I first heard that soul stealing scream from Bruce at the beginning of Number of the Beast I knew from then on, metal was my calling.

Metallica (I only really listen to the songs Dave Mustaine wrote)
Pantera
Amon Amarth
Rob Zombie
Seether
Slipknot
Ozzy
Lamb of Gad
Korn
Judas Priest
Godsmack
Disturbed
Dethklok

Satyricon
Vader
Immortal
Arch Enemy

[ExarKun]

Amon Amarth
Dark Tranquillity - Seriously, I read all the pages and I think NO-ONE mentioned DT!?
Ensiferum
Insomnium - Band which is from the same city I live in <3 their melancholic lyrics.
Iron Maiden - The band which ignited my metalhead spirit.
Judas Priest - Rob Halford, need I say more?
Kalmah
Kiuas
Nile
Swallow the Sun - Psychopath's Lair must be my favourite song from them.
Turisas
Wintersun - Waiting for Time...

This list is in no way all of the bands I listen to. As you can see I listen to many metal genres and I don't really care what genre the band is, as long as the music & lyrics are good, I will listen to them.
