Take Suppozitorium granifujinoi or Ort

Those are some good bands. They all have a very unique sound I've not heard before. Thanks for this suggestion! Added you to the whitelist.

Not really metal bands, but maybe you would enjoy Linkin Park (Given Up, War), Breaking Benjamin (Diary of Jane, Blow me away) and 30 Seconds To Mars (This is War).
P.S.: Maybe you know these bands (because they are popular enough), but since noone suggested these yet, I thought I might.

I don't really enjoy those bands (yes I've heard from them before), although some songs are nice to occassionally listen to (but I don't listen to it a lot). Thanks for the suggestion anyway. Added you to the whitelist.

One I would suggest (that is somewhat mainstream?) that has good metal-ish music, that is from the 90's but got a replacement singer and are still making good music currently is
Alice in Chains
some example songs I can recommend are:
Rooster
but, they have a lot of songs that I love to listen to....so check others, they may tickle your ear-holes as well =o

I have on of their albums (don't know which of the top of my head), but I never really got into it. I maybe listened to it once or twice. But after listening to those songs, I might give it another go. Added you to the whitelist.

Probably a bit too tame for you, but one can't always rage
Reverend Horton Heat - Let Me Teach You How To Eat

There is no such thing as "too tame." I also ocassionaly listen to some classic rock (or any type rock). This one I probably won't listen to though, but thanks for the suggestion. Added you to the whitelist.

First of all you've got good taste, Sir! I love the Iron Maiden - and I feel compelleted to hereby state Jackson shark fin guitars are pretty cool.
That said, maybe you would like some Blind Guardian? They started as Thrash band, but switched to Power Metal quickly enough. Nightfall in Middle Earth is a pretty good album.
Otherwise, if you also enjoy some more tame/Hardrock styles, how about The Darkness? They've got some totally killer riffs, and "irresponsible" guitar solos.

I'm so excited for Book of Souls!
Blind Guardian sounds great and has been recommended multiple times here, so I'll listen to that more for sure! And the Darkness also sounds really cool. Thanks for the suggestions! Added you to the whitelist.

What about some Tyr (hold the heathen hammer high) or Ensiferum ? Maybe Alestorm (Pirate Metal! ARR!)

Tyr and Ensiferum sound great! Alestorm is... something different, and I'll look for more of them. Added you to the whitelist.

Saturnus - Christ Goodbye
Sorry if the list is too big... it barely scratches the surface of what I listen to, hehe.

I do admit that a few of the songs I shared don't sound as much like metal as other songs I could have chosen. Sometimes it is difficult to pinpoint the exact genre/sub-genre to label a band as, because there are so many these days.
Comment has been collapsed.
It might not all have been metal, but most bands I got suggested here are very good. And most were metal, or close to it.
You got a great list here. Some I've heard before, but all seem interesting. Thanks for the great list! Added you to the whitelist.

You're very welcome, I'm glad to help. Honestly, I quite enjoy sharing music with others. If you would like some more recommendations, feel free to ask. (:
Oh, and I recommend checking out the Map of Metal, which goes into detail about the origins of metal sub-genres.
Comment has been collapsed.
No Eluveitie? Seriously? I can get Burying the Trend gets no mention but not Eluveitie - mentioned 37 seconds ago lol... (:. Also check Nevermore, In Extremo, Machinae Supremacy, Tool and Wintersun (couldn't find a decent Starchild link (: ).
As a side note... I think BABYMETAL is pretty decent. (:
Comment has been collapsed.
Eluveitie has a very unique sound. Not heard anything like that before. I'll make sure to check some more of them. The other bands all sound pretty good as well (although I'm not a big fan of Tool).

Having been in your place 6 years ago, I can recommend some bands with certainty:
*Pantera, you are gonna love them for sure. Very aggressive sound and some really powerful solos that make your hair stand still.
*Firewind, very riffy band with melodic choruses
*Alice in Chains, old school grunge/metal. I didn't really get into them a lot, but i still listen their 3-4 most popular songs.
*Godsmack, darker sound in general, their vocalist is amazing.
*Symphony X, my favourite band, progressive metal at its finest. Powerful riffs and solos, and vocals that could brake a glass wall.
*System of a Down, the band that got me into metal. Their style is unique and you won't listen to anything similar to them, I swear.
I have a lot more but i tried to keep it simple. I am sure you will love these.

+1 for Godsmack
I was/am completely obsessed with them. Saw them in concert too and they are freaking awesome live!

All very good bands. Although Alice in Chains I just can't get into. Thanks for the good suggestions! Added you to the whitelist.

I don't know if they are alreday named, but these are some i like it.
I suggest you don judge it only for one single, search for more.
Metallica - Whiskey In The Jar
Ozzy Osbourne- Crazy Train
Judas Priest - Electric Eye
Disturbed - Stricken
Comment has been collapsed.
I usually don't judge by one single, bu I get so many good suggestions here, that one single really makes me decide to listen to it or not (at least for the moment). Most bands you mentioned I already listened to and sound great! I just don't really like Metallica (except some of their earlier work).
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok, it was only a suggestion, there are people that listen to one song and can say that the group don't like them.
I can't give you someting new, but i'm sure you get something from other posts. Enjoy it!!
I will have a look to get something for me too :)

Well, I agree that you can't judge a band from just one song. It might just be that you pick the worst song they ever made.

No one mentioned Within Temptation yet...
Anything on the Heart of Everything Album. Though here is an interesting link to Our Solemn Hour ... Song starts around 1 min and some odd seconds...
And if you like this and Nightwish, go check out Symphonic Metal bands...
I'm not an expert in them, and I'm only familiar with a few, but might be something you'd like.

Totally forgot to mention Within Temptation! Already love listening to them. Although the Heart of Everything is my least favourite album. Thanks for the suggestion anyway. Added you to the whitelist.

My friend insists I listen to their other albums, and I just haven't gotten around to it yet, so with yet another endorsement for the other albums, I'll make it a priority :D

The other albums are great! Especially Mother Earth and Enter. Their latest album (Hydra) is also very good, although it has some shit songs on it.

I'm a big music lover (like a lot of other people), so now I'm looking for some new bands to listen to. If you can suggest me a good band, I'll add you to my whitelist, so you can participate in my (first) giveaway. I'm giving away Real Boxing™, I know it is not much, but as soon as I get some more money, I'll probably give away a bigger game (or more).
So I'm really into metal, so please don't suggest anything other then that. The bands I'm currently really enjoying are:
Iron Maiden (my favourite ever since I started listening to them)
Satan
Arch Enemy
Amon Amarth
Megadeth
Skid Row
And some others. So please suggest some bands (even some of the bigger names) and a song (or two) that I should check out from them. I will whitelist you for this giveaway if I think the band is (even if it is just a little) good. So if you suggest anything in the metal, you are almost certain to be whitelisted.
The giveaway will start today in 3 hours (August 16, 13:00 in the Netherlands) and end after two weeks (as I'm not sure how long it will take for a reasonable amount of people to participate), so on 30 August at 13:00. The giveaway is for any level.
And for the ones added to my whitelist, here is the giveaway.
