i don't have the time at the moment to list every band in existence for you but take a look through all the pages in the Bands forum, it should give you somethin to go by.


congratulations on your recent crossover.

if you liked mainstream music chances are you like music with catchy choruses. i know plenty of em. here are a few:

megadeth
symphony x
dream theater
theatre of tragedy (later stuff aint metal, still great though)
amorphis
anathema (newer stuff)
moonspell (newer stuff)
iced earth
type o negative (the choruses are not a main part of their songs, but they are really great)

Start off with just "metal", such as:
Metallica (the early years)
Slayer
Pantera
Machine Head

From there, when you feel you need something heavier, try:
Enter My Silence
In Flames
Death

If you like what you hear and don't mind the vocals, carry on with these:
Cannibal Corpse
Morbid Angel
Carcass
Vital Remains

When these don't seem to be evil enough, or heavy enough....or just weird enough, try these:
Immolation
Gorguts
Cephalic Carnage
Incantation
Beheaded
Disgorge
Nile


If you can't get past step one.....go back to nu-metal.

Lucky bastard, you get to make a fresh start, and not listen to any monkeyness.

Lets get you some history...start by getting:-

Ozzy - Blizzard of Ozz
Iron Maiden - the Best of the Beast
Sabbath - Paranoid

Dial in when you get those.

with the new AC threads here, it seems like many people think AC is trying to appease audiences, and that they are just a very original band. like they are some form of modern art, where being a shitty band in some weird way makes them good. bad is the new good!

and seth putnam is really a deeply tormented soul who expresses himself with his own poetry............ its just that everyone doesnt "get it"

zakk wylde ( black label society, book of shadows, pride and glory )
dream theater
pantera
carcass
dying fetus
kings x
symphony x
night in gales

stay away from Mortician...thats just garbage metal

actually there's a bunch of bands you shouldn't bother getting into, but since everybody gave you such big lists, u'll just have to get lucky or just listen to the people giving you but a few bands to listen too...

Check out At the Gates. Their music is very heavy death metal style yet they are still very accesible and easy to listen to. They were one of the first metal bands I got into way back when.
