I need to find some good metal bands to listen to, but I'm having difficulty finding good stuff to listen to.. Soooo What I'm asking is a few recomendations for you to give me.. Anything that you might consider good..

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 :confused: I like clean and raspy/dirty vocals.. Anything you could recommend would be greatly apreciative. Thx
 
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
 
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.

Also, check out these bands:

The Haunted
Black Label Society
Children of Bodom (as mentioned before)
Dimmu Borgir
Evergrey
Green Carnation

Into Eternity
Kalmah
Killswitch Engage
Cannae
3 Inches of Blood
Mercyful Fate
Nightrage
Opeth (as mentioned before)
Type O Negative


Hope you like any of them!
 
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.
 
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! :headbang:
 
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.
 
Well first, check out the sticky thread, "the thread where you talk about the music you like" then "Another fucking metal game" then "Rate the band game thread". You'll find a lot of bands there that must be checked out.

Recommendations:

Cryptopsy
Dissection
Graveland
bathory
Immortal
Carcariass
old Therion
My Dying Bride
Sacramentum
Arghoslent
The Chasm
Psycroptic
Entombed
Dismember
behemoth
old Hypocrisy
Winds
Arcturus
Woods of Ypres
Summoning
Blut Aus Nord
Grand Belial's Key
Vader

and the list is endless...
 
Keep the Tool, Opeth and Katatonia.

I suggest these;
Agalloch, Dark Tranquiltity, Death, Mastodon, Meshuggah, My Dying Bride, Novembre.
