I totally forgot about Symphony X. Those guys are amazing.:bassist:

Others that come highly recommended are -

Lazarus Blackstar
Trap Them
Ocean
Send More Paramedics
Sunn o)))
Palehorse
Acres Of Ocean
Bongripper
Bossk (RIP)
Cult of Luna
Devil Sold His Soul
Dragged Into Sunlight
The Freezing Fog
Goatwhore
Hellas Mounds

That said, most of the bands in this thread make me want to curl up into a ball and listen to Mono. I'm just too old for it all.
 
My favourite metal bands:

Iron Maiden
Megadeth
Metallica
Anthrax
Motorhead
Black Sabbath
Diamond Head
Slipknot
Slayer

And if you'd class these guys as metal:

Led Zeppelin
Deep purple

Metal will take over again one day! :bassist:
