[Evil Ernie]

1- Iron Maiden
2- Metallica
3- Symphony X
4- Opeth
5- Slayer (Nevermore, Testament, Evergrey, Adagio, DT, Primal Fear, aaaaahhh never enough)

BTW, I noticed a many of you mentionned Opeth, most of the time along with power metal bands, non-death metal stuff. I like the way this band attracts a wide variety of metal listeners. Hail.
