Recommend me epic heavy metal

[DarkBliss]

like Candlemass' Nightfall

...and rifftastic thrash with great dynamics and good, punchy production.

I'm a thrash newbie and haven't heard anything aside from Slayer, Metallica amd Coroner(and Kreator whom I don't like)

If you don't like Kreator, it's already too late for you

 

[Zephyrus]

Cirith Ungol

 

[Vilden]

ARTILLERY!

Hammers of Misfortune - The Locust Years is awesome as is Bruce Dickinson - The Chemical Wedding ... neither are particularly like Candlemass, but they are epic and worth listening to.

Thrash - get Mortal Sin - Mayhemic Destruction or Onslaught - In Search of Sanity.
