I see you like black metal alot....however to me, bands like dark funeral and marduk get very repetative and boring...i highly reccomend Ulver and Abigor to you...both are great black metal bands if you arent a fan of them already, check them out!
 
Metallica
Iron Maiden
Emperor
Opeth
Black Sabbath
Tool
Slayer
Anathema
Megadeath
Rush (as someone said, not metal but close)

and I have to put Children of Bodom in even though I only just got my first one, Follow the Reaper - amazing stuff. I do have to agree that they would improve with better lyrics and vocals.
