Well get some dimmu albums (I suggest Death Cult to start, it is not as harsh as black metal). And take note of the Melodic Death bands I gave you. Youll probably like them.

HINT: megaupload

Death cult blows. Best Dimmu albums are Spiritual Black Dimensions, Enthrone Darkness Triumphant and Stormblast (ORIGINAL VERSION!!!).

No sense easing yourself into metal, just get right into Emperor.

It's easier to ease oneself into metal. I remember Impaled used to scare me when I was first gettings into metal

 

[metal_wrath]

exercise the In Flames rec. with caution.

Dark Tranquillity is where it's at, kid.

Dark Tranquillity might be a little harder to grasp for someone new to metal. In Flames is not too bad a starting point, I would recommend their their earlier stuff especially.

Can someone recommend me some band that has a lot of guitar instrumental in their songs?
I prefer power/extreme/melodic death metal.

Thanks in advance.

Hmmm... the best Dimmu album is "For All Tid" and.. that's it. Really.

Not really sure what you are asking for, but Necrophagist is a death metal band with a very skilled guitarist. You may like them

Opeth scared me! And Dimmu Borgir! I thought they were the most evil band ever!

First of all, I like death cult. And I am having him listen to that as an introduction; the other albums are for later.

Hahaha I remember I used to think Sonata Arctica's vocals were SO WEIRD. And I remember Anders on Clayman sounded like what my preconceptions of Satan sounded like.

 

[Mort Divine]

Sonata's vocals ARE weird, due to the accent Kakko has.

 

[Impudent]

LAWL at our days of noobness.

The first extreme metal song I ever heard in my life was Opeth's "Demon of the Fall". I was convinced that the growls were some computer effect to sound like Satan. I has no idea a human being was capable of that. This was about 3 years ago.

Heh yeah, I got into metal in May 03 or so.

Haha...actually his vocals did not include any effects. I remember from an interview Mike did on the gigantour discussion boards, he said the vocals on DOTF were in three tracks, growling, whispered, and sung, by Mike.

I don't remember being afraid of metal vocals, I felt VERY comfortable with death vocals, but I've always HATED harsh vocals with no musical qualities, ie. later In Flames

Too close to call, but you're asking for it with that comparison.
