There's far better metal bands out there but they aren't bad. You won't believe some of the metal that's out there. Btw, I love Metallica's first four albums a lot.

Metallica
Iron Maiden
Children of Bodom
Dark Tranquillity
Gamma Ray
Blind Guardian

 

[~Derek~]

God of Emptiness is good but Rapture is better.

 

[ConvergeNerd]

God of Emptiness is good but Rapture is better.

Oh, I agree. That was just the first death/black metal exposure I had.

 

[13th Nightmare]

It's a tough choice, but these are my top five bands:

Lordi
Turisas
Iron Maiden
Dragonforce
Within Temptation

 

[Hatebreeder]

Oh, I agree. That was just the first death/black metal exposure I had.

Mine was through Dimmu Borgir's video for "Progenies of the Great Apocalypse". I was both frightened and fascinated at the same time by the harsh, minor-key music and the strong anti-Christian vibe.

 

[DivineMomentsofTruth]

Opeth
Pink floyd
Jethro Tull
Shpongle
Alice in Chains

The first 3 were easy. The second 2 were picked randomly from about 10 bands that I couldn't decide between...

 

[Knifehappy]

Lamb of God
PanterA
Devildriver
Tool
Team Sleep

This is all genres right, not just metal?

 

[MasterT44]

It's a tough choice, but these are my top five bands:

Lordi
Turisas
Iron Maiden
Dragonforce
Within Temptation

Dude, Lordi's hella sick. I love how their music really isn't that complicated but it just sounds so great!

Dont agree on Lordi but I always use that argument for AC/DC. Who gives a shit how complex it is, it sounds great.

@Knifehappy - Yes, we are forcing your favourite bands to be ALL metal bands just because you are posting on a metal forum. Just kidding around mate, they do not need to all be metal bands if they are not your favourites.

 

[alonmias]

quite easy, they've remained the same for the last 20 years:

Iron Maiden
Judas Priest
Testament
Queensryche
Metallica probably, though they did their best to fuck that up..

 

[IWP]

As of right now.

Anthrax
Iron Maiden
Helloween
Kreator
Judas Priest
Atheist
Lordi
