Nothing about grind? Weird.
Anyways, yeah you hit the nail

 

[General Zaroff]

Someone just getting into Metal probably won't like Grind.

 

[waif]

Someone just getting into Metal probably won't like Incantation or half the bands on that list tbh so how about we recommend some less brutal stuff?

Sure, okay.

Seconding the thrash recs, adding Motorhead, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden.

Also, try some melodic death metal:
In Flames - The Jester Race
Dark Tranquility - The Gallery
At The Gates - Slaughter of the Soul

 

[youdontknowme]

the bands on that list are all old school death metal, sure At The Gates are good, but don't recommend him sissy, watered down melo-death. get him into the good stuff.

true. its an acquired taste.

 

[We(A)rewinning]

on a quick look through i like alot of thrash, i think i need to adjust before getting into the death.
Also, what are some good not "watered down" thrash/death bands of the 00s?

 

[Belligerent]

Also, what are some good not "watered down" thrash/death bands of the 00s?

The Absence - Riders of the Plague

 

[Omni]

Also, what are some good not "watered down" thrash/death bands of the 00s?

Ares Kingdom

 

[arg]

gonna rec
Behemoth - Zos Kia Cultus, The Apostasy
and
Bloodbath - Resurrection Through Carnage, The Fathomless Mastery
as usual

 

[FJChaos]

At The Gates - The Red In The Sky Is Ours

Fix'D

 

[Krow]

Fix'D

Honestly... he was probably right to suggest what he did.

Slaughter of the Soul is more accessible than The Red in the Sky is Ours to a newcomer to metal, (especially death metal, melodic or not) I'd think.

 

[Einherjar86]

Demonoid- Riders of the Apocalypse

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

Looks like you need to start with melo-death and thrash bands

Thrash:

Razor
Vio-Lence
Forbidden
Dark Angel
Kreator
Artillery
Annihilator
Overkill
Sodom
Watchtower
Sepultura

Melo-death/Melodic Death:

Darkane
Dawn Of Dreams
Intestine Baalism
Dark Tranquillity
Skyfire
Disarmonia Mundi
