I am really new to the metal scene, In fact I'm a DJ so i come from a trance/dance background.
Apart from electronic music, I really only listen to COG and Infected Mushroom.
I was really surprised when i was introduced to metal that i liked it. The track that started it all was Lamb of god - walk with me in hell.
Now, i LOVE Randy's scream/growl, and i liked that song, but all other lamb of god, i didn't overly get into. The guitar was not my style.
Then i got introduced to Arch Enemy, and again, Tracks like my apoc, we will rise and carry the cross i really liked. But all other tracks i did not get into.
Same story with silent decent, Duplicity and Living in false eternity i love! But the rest is very average and i don't really like it.
After that i sort of lost hope but i found I Killed The Prom Queen. I LOVE THESE GUYS! Can't believe they broke up
Australian too! but every single track of theirs i love. So it gave me hope again.
But now I've searched all over the place and just cant seem to find any bands i really like. I find the odd track here and there but that is not going to get me deep into metal, Which is something i defiantly want.
I think the key for me is the scream, and that the rest of the song does not sound like ass (sorry hard core metal fans I'm just not that into the mashing the guitar. Metal has awesome riffs tho! just need to find them)
For example, I know they are not metal but Alesana - Ambrosia love that track, love the scream, like the guitar, however they sing too much, and it kills it.
Anyway, any bands you could recommend that you think i might like would be great! i did warn you i was picky! I really really really would love to get into metal, I think its a great genre, just need to slowly get into it. We all have to start somewhere! please forgive me

Nevid - YarymOkom i did not like that track but i'll be looking at other tracks from them. May have potential
Whitechapel - i would really like these guys if i could get passed his growl. song sound good, but yeah his growl = yuck

So please keep suggesting and I'll update this each time i listen to a new band.
I'll always make sure to give a reason why i don't like a band, hopefully you guys will understand my mindset and steer me to the right bands for me.
Again, i apologize to the hardcore metal fans, I'm a noob! Metal is really new to me but I'm getting there.
*** NEW UPDATE ***
Ok so i have discovered i am REALLY liking the industrial and emo/screamo sound.
Yes i know, screamo was taken over by emos and what they think screamo is, is really not screamo, but bare with me i dont know what else to call it.
Biggest examples are my two fav songs at the moment:
Saosin - Seven years
Alesana - Ambrosia
As for the industrial, Alien Vampires and Havoc Unit i can see me liking if i find a good track and keep listening to.
So i hope that helps you out alittle more. Keep the suggestions coming please!
