To those who want to know what I listen to, heres a list of what bands I like in no particular order.

Anthrax
Static X
Slipknot
Sirenia
Tristania
Opeth
Katatonia
Stone Sour
Godsmack
System of A Down
Tool
A Perfect Circle
Lacrimosa
Korn
Coal Chamber
SoilWork
Symphony X


Yeah the list might seem short but like I say, I'm a complete metal newb I like clean and raspy/dirty vocals.. Anything you could recommend would be greatly apreciative. Thx

 

[Christie_fell]

Cryst, you've got to be joking. It's okay though. I'm sure many have tread your path before...-_-

Listen to Grave Digger, Arghoslent, Torture Squad, Chakal, old Fates Warning.
Okay, I'm adding some more:
Kreator (JP just reminded me)
Overkill
Ulysses Siren
Demoniac
GBK
Heathen

 

[creepindeath66]

Nevermore, Agalloch, Kreator, Iron Maiden, Death.......

 

[nataservant]

First thing, take the cd's from the following bands

Anthrax
Static X
Slipknot
Stone Sour
Godsmack
System of A Down
Tool
A Perfect Circle
Korn
Coal Chamber

AND THROW THEM AWAY.

Then go buy some Watchmaker, Gorerotted, Dying Fetus, Ensiferum, Children of Bodom, Onward, Blind Guardian, Insomnium, Samael, Graveworm and more that don't suck.

 

[Jean-Pierre]

Dying Fetus, Graveworm

Mercyful Fate
Nightrage

Hope you like any of them!

 

[Toby]

I gotta agree with Children of Bodom, I'd wager you'll like them a fair bit. Also, all the classic bands, i.e. Priest, Maiden, Sabbath, etc. etc.

 

[Ironbird666]

Emperor, Windir, Dismember, Sanctuary, Enslaved, Morbid Angel, etc. . .

I strongly recommend that you listen to the classic bands first, especially the ones that JP listed. Good luck!

 

[Trucid]

Yes, yes.. Thank you so much. Off to do some grab and runs..

 

[byrne]

Start with Black Sabbath albums - go by chronological order. You can't lose.

Too true. Sabotage is the defnitive album to work your way up to.

 

[Trucid]

heheh.. My dad has more then a few of the older albums you told me about.. Scarey though.. Since I never really imagined him as such a person to listen to that kinda stuff.. Anyway, thank you all so very much.
