Plain and simple: those of you who listen to Metal, list what I ought to listen to.

Bands I enjoy that are affiliated with Metal are:
Opeth
Tool
Children of Bodom
Cradle of Filth
Mastodon
In Flames
Lamb of God
Otep
Candlemass
Black Sabbath
Hatebreed
Slayer
Pantera
Trivium
Metalium

And Tool if you want to include them in the mix


So basically, I am wondering if I am missing out on a some metal bands that are considered wonderful. I adore Children of Bodom and Opeth more than anything else in terms of metal, followed closely by Candlemass.

So any suggestions?

You already did that, sir.

I'm not the best authority on recommending music, as I tend to listen to what my friends listen to and what they say "Here, listen to this and see if you like it." I usually do.

The following may or may not exactly be "metal" but they are a few of the bands that I have been introduced to over the years and I enjoy listening to:

Pain of Salvation, Kamelot, Symphony X, Ayreon, Anathema, Dreamscape, Agalloch, Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, and Amorphis.

As a side, while it isn't exactly metal, you might enjoy Trans-Siberian Orchestra (Recommend strongly "Beethoven's Last Night", as all their other album as are currently Christmas-related). It's technically labelled "Rock Opera" but it's pretty fantastic if that is your thing.

Heh, you're absolutely correct - I did include Tool...

I've tried listening to Porcupine Tree before, but never really found it to my liking. But then again, the samples I heard were only 30 seconds long. I may have to listen for a longer time period. Perhaps I will dowload a song or two and sample them that way...

I've heard of Dreamtheater and Pain of Salvation, but the others I can't recall hearing before. I shall give these a try.

Many thanks.

Ah, yes, Dragonforce. Never heard of 3 Inches of Blood before, though.

Get Blackest Eyes by Porcupine Tree.

But over that I would recommend the album Mabool by Orphaned Land. Which I can probably upload if you can't find a good torrent or sommat.

Wait, what does this have to do with videogames?

Er..... *tries to steamroll this topic into relevance*

Play Guitar Hero!

You can't get any better metal than from Children of Bodom I think. Best Metal Band ever. You've got a pretty kick ass list there: Opeth, Mastadon, In Flames; all great.

Unearth, As I lay Dying are some good bands.
