Any heavy Metal fans out there?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm not talking about "Nu Metal" or "Metalcore". I'm talking about Tradition, NWOBHM, Thrash, Black, Doom, Power, Speed, Death, Viking, ect. All styles but the new crap ones, that aren't even really heavy metal.

I listen to a fair amount of all the styles you mentioned and enjoy plenty of music from each - including the supposedly crap ones.

All-time favourites include Metallica, Opeth (especially early Opeth - I loved their early bassist, unpredictable shifts and counterpoint melodies), Khanate, Melvins, Black Sabbath, Venom, Sunn O))), Neurosis, Iron Maiden and Sepultura. I am currently making a top 100 of black metal and related albums + EPs and currently am at 85 albums.

lets see what i can list that are definately on my list

Iron Maiden
Blind Guardian
Iced earth
Slayer
Metallica (black album and earlier were thier only good ones)
Dream Theater
Meshuggah
Tool (to me they are prog metal, to you though, they might not fit the bill of a metal band)
Symphony X
Arcturus
Ram-zet

there are plenty others I can list. and I do listen to a bit of everything.

Anyone into King Diamond or Dio?

My favorites are:

Fates Warning
Dream Theater
Megadeth
Slayer
Iron Maiden
Deicide
Blind Guardian
Gamma Ray
Iced Earth
Testament
Flotsam & Jetsam
& more that I can't think of right now

some others, lets see...

Dio
Judas Priest
Kamelot (black halo album FTW, especially the song march of mephisto)
Manowar
Amon Amarth (love the song, rune to my memory)
Axenstar
Hammerfall

I tend to appreciate instrument mastery so it seems natural to me that I gravitate to classical orchestra and heavy metal Other people think that's weird, but I submit that they are the weird ones.
