What other metal is worth hearing besides Opeth?

[|55555|]

Amorphis - Elegy

Also recomended: Amorphis - Tales from the thousand lakes.

 

[Jester-Race]

GOJIRA.

Absolutely amazing band.

 

[Original]

My top 5 bands would be:

1. Cannibal Corpse
2. Cryptopsy (minus The Unspoken King)
3. Immolation
4. Nile
5. Death

And other cool stuff like: Augury, Neuraxis, Decrepit Birth, Martyr, Gorguts, Negativa, Defeated Sanity, Quo Vadis, Atheist, Pestilence, Severed Savior, Pavor, Necrophagist, Spawn Of Possession, Hate Eternal, Arsis, Meshuggah, Terminal Function, Visceral Bleeding, Gorefest (early), Polluted Inheritance, Watchtower, Spastic Inc, Blotted Science, Coroner, Sadus, Deathrow, Sepultura, Sacred Reich, Slayer, Celctic Frost, Megadeth, Testament, Fates Warning, Forbidden, and tons of other bands.

 

[Frodo's Bulk]

only about 10 of those bands have ever released something that doesn't blow

 

[Original]

If you are referring to my list; i guess it's all subjective. But those are some of my all time favorite bands.

 

[grey knight]

Ayreon
Dream Theater
Iron Maiden
Megadeth
Old In Flames
Old Children of Bodom
Old Norther
Kalmah
Stratovarius (depends on the listener, it's mostly symphonic powermetal)

If some "punk" or thrash influence doesn't matter then remove the "old"'s.

 

[Crepuscularia]

this is not nearly as creative as many other peoples suggestions, but Anata: The conductor's departure is ripping my face off right now.

Esoteric - Metamorphogenesis / The Maniacal Vale

Best suggestions yet.

 

[ponie]

GOJIRA.

Absolutely amazing band.

They opened for In Flames last week and I decided that they're pretty awesome as well. Put on a better show than In Flames sadly enough, since they didn't play any good old songs and relied way too much on fancy light shit.

From almost every account I've seen, Gojira absolutely SLAYS live. Can't fucking wait to see them myself.

+Another one for Gojira

Pitbulls in the Nursery - Lunatic
Martyr - Warp Zone

this is not nearly as creative as many other peoples suggestions, but Anata: The conductor's departure is ripping my face off right now.

Anata are worth listening to also if you like technical death metal.
