So, I've started listening to some awesome new Metal. what are your favorite types of Metal music? Bands? post some songs!

Personally, I've really gotten into Five Finger Death Punch and even more recently Demon Hunter. The best song from Demon Hunter's new CD is most definitely Crucifix.

I'm a lot in to bands like Bring Me The Horizon, Suicide silence and stuff like that. I'm an all-eater when it comes to metal but i can tell you some of my favourite songs by BMTH: Fuc­­k, Slater, Suicide Season and The Sadness Will Never End.

I forgot to mention that I like BMTH, SOAD, Heaven Shall Burn and all of those, other than that I'm a huge Hardcore fan

I honestly don't listen to a lot of American metal anymore because Sweden, Norway and Germany have some great bands. Here's a few songs that i can think of ATM:

We Butter the Bread With Butter: Superfohn Bananendate



Miseration: Foul Invective & Dreamdecypher





Epica: Pirates of the Carribean



Other bands that came to mind....

Necrophagist
Nile
Extol
Antestor

Also thought I'd list American bands too
ALL THAT REMAINS <-- By far best band
As I Lay Dying
Killswitch Engage
and...... Dethklok

\m/

Due to an already too high amount of Metal-Core, I find it is my duty as a Metalhead to give everypony a wider view on the genre.
(flying feathers, I'm beginning to sound like one of those elitist.)

~As someday it may happen that some metal must be found, ~
~I've got a little list, I've got a little list ~
~A variety of bands who might well be underground ~
~And who might even be missed, who might even be missed.~
Well you know the rest...

The genre known as Symphonic Metal. Most of it is depressing or cynical but some of it's uplifting, like my favorite band - Lunatica. They even have an eco-friendly song:



Even so, my favorite song is Poet and the Pendulum by Nightwish. I swear Tuomas and I are Soul Twins...

Rainy-Chan, you definitely like a lot of music i do. i love SOAD, and BMTH. i actually saw them in concert here in 'Murica with Attack Attack. If you havent heard of Demon Hunter, look up their new CD. Listen to the song Crucifix and Someone to Hate. Do you live in Sweden?

Yes indeed i Live in Sweden, around Gothenburg (metal capital of the world, whohoo!), sadly i missed both BMTH and SOADS shows when they where here. Ill totally give Demon Hunter a look.

Well, I'm mostly into thrash and Metalcore, so these two are just examples. I like a lot of bands and would probably just destroy the thread by posting a few hundred videos. :D






Usually not my cup of tea, but Behemoth is just awesome.

Disturbed and Slipknot are my all time favourites!  <3
This is my favourite by Disturbed.

Ozzy, Disturbed is one of my most favorite bands of all time! i have all their CD's and a few shirts and such. I realy like the song The Animal and a bunch more but i'm too lazy to point them out.

Within Temptation, Delain, and Nightwish? Heck yeah.

Alright, just listened to demon hunter. It's not bad (Y)

Metal fan.

Am I doing it right?

If you scream into it, I would say yes.

Leprous from Norway.

I cant wait to see Five Finger Death Punch here in arizona with Slipknot and Slayer! theyre coming in a few months, i already bought my tickets! who have you guys seen?  ^-^

I just came back from Graspop Metal Meeting 2012.
4 days of drinking, moshing, headbanging, 30 bands seen and 2 Brohoofs.
I'm hungry, burned, in pain and without any decent vocal ability. It was perfect.

Silly Vinyl, Hardcore isn't Metal.

To be honest the line between Heavy and Power is very thin.
The only difference I know is an addition of keyboards or giving the existing keyboards a bigger role in the music.

Some Thrash...

Anyway, I made my first metal song, death metal to be precise. Hope you guys like it! :D

It's a nice song, did you play one of the instruments?
Only thing that bothered was that the drums sounded like a drum computer.

Yeah, everything but the drums. I did use a drum simulator because recording drums is really hard and requires a lot of $. Besides, the sound I would get could never compare to how this sounds now.

My favorite Metal band would have to be the Swedish Metal Band Sabaton



My favorite Brony Metal musician would definitely be Bronyfied

Well The chart was made for sites like Memebase and 9gag and they created a "hate"-culture around Nu-Metal.
I haven't figured out why but my best guess is that most Metalheads don't want Hip-Hop, Rap or Electronics in there Metal.

To be honest it's not my favourite sub-genre either, I have seen Slipknot and Limp Bizkit live but they couldn't convince me.

Warning: Some of these songs may contain vulgar language, viewer discretion is advised.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I feel hurt that Killswitch Engage wouldn't be in here.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's some FFDP too.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's Breaking Benjamin as well. (Some people label them as metal, others do not, if enough people want me to then I'll take down BB.)

Bringing this back guys.  :nod:

Here have some Deathcore;

Suicide Silence
(Rip Mitch \m/)

You can't go wrong with Whitechapel  ovO


annnndd I would be failing as an Aussie is I didn't post some Australia Hardcore/MetalCore (We're known to be good at this stuff \m/)

Parkway Drive


I Killed The Prom Queen


And last but not least: The Amity Affliction

Rest In Peace Jeff Hanneman.
You will be missed.

thrash
death
speed
heavy metal
"melodic death" though this one is also "viking metal"
power metal
have fun, and a reason why metal heads hate nu metal and the metal core(S) is due to the fanbases being whinny kids that can't stand anything outside of one or two bands, and obviously metallica. that and the fact that metalcore's instrument's are very lacking.

Hey guys, I'm new here, so I thought I would post in here really quick. I have been getting pretty into metal lately, so yeah. Some bands that I listen to include Avenged Sevenfold, Disturbed, Metallica, Atreyu, Trivium, Dream Theater, Megadeth, Slipknot, Between the Buried and Me, Lamb of God, Periphery, System of a Down, and In Flames.

you have good taste in music.

One of my favorites  :D

This is one of my favorite songs of all time:

Ugh, I'm really not a fan of metal.  I can appreciate its technical prowess because there are some insanely talented metal guitarists out there.

Though, I'm an avid fan of the "game" Rocksmith.  I play it for PC, and you can actually download custom songs fans have made .  Someone made the song "I'm made of wax, Larry, what are you made of?" by A Day to Remember, and I managed to 99% this song with a bass guitar on master mode (where no notes are shown, you're graded by just playing the song!).  It's a good song, just I'm usually not into such  >:OANGRY >:O music.



This is metal, right?  Or is this post-hardcore?  If I'm being an idiot, somepony call me out on it please.

Oh, let's see...

Avenged Sevenfold
Anthrax
Apocalyptica (Can you count them?)
Avantasia
Black Mages (Final Fantasy-based power metal)
Blind Guardian
Cryoshell (If you liked Bionicle, you've undoubtedly heard them)
Dark Moor
Disturbed
Dragonforce
Five Finger Death Punch
Hammerfall
Kamelot
Metallica
Nightwish
Psychostick (They're comedy metal, it counts! :P )
Rammstein
Some of the stuff from the Xenoblade OST (Mechanical Rhythm is PERFECTION)

I could go on, but... I think you get my point. :)

it's definitely coooooooooooooooooooooooooool!

Anyone here listen to heavy metal before the 90's?
like Ratt, Twisted Sister, Quiet Riot, Judas Priest, or Black Sabbath?
I just want to know if I'm alone on this or not.

You're not alone, I'm big fan of Black Sabbath.
Also most bands from 70's, though that's more Rock than Metal.

Megadeth and Iron Maiden are my favorite at the moment ( but I do not listen only to metal )

I love this:



It gives me this super awesome vibes of space and science fiction.

and this:



I love a lot of Megadeth songs but the one that sticks out the most is this:



So much energy I get from this song, that at the end I feel like Superstallion!

Also the most favorite band of all is Queen, though they do not play metal, so maybe I should head to the Rock thread.

My all-time favorite band is Black Sabbath. Well, at least the stuff they released with Ozzy, so everything from the 70's plus the 13 album.

     Junior's Eyes:

Zakk Wylde's playing is INTENSE and I've gotta put Black Label Society on this list.

     Stillborn:

YNGWIE MALMSTEEN. NEO-CLASSICAL GOD.

     Evil Eye:

Rhapsody of Fire is a fantastic Power Metal band, very melodic style.

     Dargor, Shadowlord of Black Mountain:

Quote from: Guardian Dreamer on 2013 Aug 16, 17:08:34

Dayum, me LIKEY! Definitely looking more into this band.

I don't really listen to music..... I know everyone says it's impossible but I prefer doing stuff in silence,or I play videogames so I don't need music.....
But that doesn't mean I don't like certain music. My brother listens to Tool, Metallica...umm....erm that's it. So it probably influenced me and I didn't become a whiny little brat that stalks One Direction or Justin Bieber!
(seriously,ask them -the fans- what's Bieber's sister's boyfriend's favourite color and they'll tell you-I don't know if he has a sister and I honestly don't care but that was an example)
So I'll share a song that I really really like and I know it from Guitar Hero.


And another song that I like,but it's not metal.

I'm quite a big metal head myself.  Disturbed, Blue Stahli, Kamelot, Kovenant, Scar Symmetry, Solution.45, Pain, Sunless Rise, System of a Down, Celldweller, Metallica, Megadeth, Tribal INK, Mercenary, Darkseed, Adema, Alestorm, All That Remains, Amon Amarth, CKY, Altaria, Rammstein, Five Finger Death Punch...I can keep going.

The following are some real masterpieces by the some of the previously mentioned artists.

Celldweller - Against The Tide


Kamelot - Solitaire


Darkseed - Ultimate Darkness


Solution.45 - Clandestiny Now

Ah, the classics! On of my favorite songs of Iron Maiden.

Progressive Metal:

If one were to ask me what soundtrack has shaped my life, I wouldn't respond with pop or rap, nor would I say that I have walked the planes of this earth with my MP3 player loaded with the latest Christian contemporary or soft rock.  No.  In fact, the music that I have listened to most was in fact metal. 

It's actually funny, considering where I came from.  When I was wee, I would listen to country almost exclusively.  There was no other music I would open up to.  However, when I was growing up, I had been influenced by my cousin, who would always listen to the rock station, and the sound of the guitars, the bass, it was all magical.  From when I started eighth grade, it had been Lynyrd Skynyrd, Buddy Holly, The Ramones, Billy Squier, and bands like that.  All classic rock.  About the time I entered high school though, my tastes had changed.  I longed for a heavier set of music. 

The first metal band I had ever listened to, which is the band that's responsible for getting me into metal in the first place, was Slipknot.  With songs like Before I Forget, Snuff, Til We Die, All Hope Is Gone, Child of Burning Time, and Gently, Slipknot is one of my favorite bands.  They are metal to the core, but they haven't forgotten the melody that shapes music as we know it.  It's not just shouting and instrumental with Slipknot, the lead singer Corey Taylor has proven, he can sing.  When Taylor was with Stone Sour, he did a lot more hard rock-ish style music.  Lot more singing, but the metal roots have not been forgotten.  Songs like Orchids, Through Glass, Come Whatever May, Socio, Get Inside, and Take a Number show just what Stone Sour is about. 

More bands that I have listened to and like include Avenged Sevenfold, Disturbed, Five Finger Death Punch, Staind, Skillet, and Cryoshell

I'd like to apologize for my wall of text, I'm rather long winded when it comes to music discussion, but please, if you disagree or even agree, please tell me. 

Yays!!!
My favorite band is Slipknot too! See my avatar? It's Corey Taylor pony.

Huge fan of 70s and 80s metal here.

I love Judas Priest.  One of my favorites is Painkiller, and another I really like is Livin' After Midnight.  What I've been listening to recently though is a lot of Rise Against.  If you've never heard of them, I'd recommend listening to the following:

I love the intro to this song, and the buildup to the chorus.  The guitars are rocking, the vocals are that mix between smooth and gritty I really like, and the drummer to this band is great.  This is one of their better songs, and I'd recommend listening to Long Forgotten Sons, Prayer of the Refugee, and Under the Knife as well.

Yes! another classic metal head! I know that these aren't as heavy as today's stuff, but man can they shred a guitar.

Bang your heeeead tnnnntntntnntn yay! I once heard that song in a movie and I was really surprised.
Actually, I know that song from Guitar Hero 80's, it's my favorite, no, wait, one of my favorites. I don't know what my favorite is...

I do enjoy myself some Meshuggah, White Chapel, and a little Oceano from time to time

Good Great music there.

Anyone a fan of any of the 90's-00's stuff? Of course there are.



I've had people tell me this sounds more like Grunge buuuuuuuuuuuut.

I'm not usually one for metal music, but this was too good for me to ignore:

I love German and Scandinavian Metal.

Including Metal from the 1980s.
