Letz me see.
Aiy laik;
Children of Bodom - why? Due to their cheesyness and awesome melodies highly influenced by classical, sometimes 80s hard rock and sometimes it could sound like some old super mario game.
As you may have noticed, I like their first albums the best.
Also Alexi has the only growl vocals, wich I can listen to without going "oh no. Oh my God." I think I could enjoy a lot more music, if it wasn't for the fact that I want to rip my hair out because of the singer/s.
Also I like Evergrey.
Some Iron Maiden.
Some Angra.
and Dream Theater, if you count that as metal, IDK. I mainly like their first album
Also I really like rock with metal influences.
Yup. So as you may have figured, I'm no OMGZ br00talz guy. Sorry to dissapoint, but you probably don't care anyways (and you shouldn't). Therefore I will end this seemingly neverending post, because no one even cares to read it anyways and I'm just writing awayblalbablalbalbaldblablal. Oh God. I'm tired. This only happens when I'm tired.
edit;
Oh yeah. And some Cacophony. I hate their singer though, so it's not to much. Mainly the instrumentals.
