Metal
I listen to alot of different musical genres from classical to progressive rock, but one of my favorites is metal. I like a wide range of different metal such as heavy, power, speed and death metal. I'm not talking about crappy nu-metal or industrial, but bands with real talent. The metal scene in Sweden, Norway and Finland is thriving with many talented acts. Some of my favorite metal bands are:
Nevermore Opeth Novembers Doom Hammerfall Children of Bodom Arch Enemy In Flames Katatonia Metallica (older stuff) Shadows Fall Megadeth System of a Down Iced Earth Firewind Tool (not sure if they are metal lol but really I think they are in their own music genre) Blind Guardian Killswitch Engage and many more.... Anyone else really enjoy metal? Last edited by Ragnarok : 04-24-2004 at 10:21 PM. |

i enjoy metal and only some nu metal. my fav band being soad is usually classified as nu metal but there are so many artist who consider them to be kind of political metal(dont know if thats exactly how thye say it but meh) i like soad becasue they send out a message rather then that bull**** disturbed does and slipknot is all image, another nu metal band i like is korn, bu they were the first of their kind really. some metal bands i like are
ozzy,soad,shadows fall, metallica(definetly older stuff),36 crazy fists, blind guardian, tool which really does have their own genre,korn and im sure there is more but im too lazy

Somehow I knew if anyone was to make a post about metal it would be either me or you, ragnarok. Anyway here's my most listened to list of fav bands from the metal genre and all it's sub-genres. I basically just ran through items that were on my playlist. The first 5 are definately my top 5 and then the rest follow in no real order . . .
AC/DC (not really metal, but my fav nonetheless) Iron Maiden Children of Bodom Amon Amarth Blind Guardian Running Wild Elvenking (a highly suggested listen for fans of Blind Guardian) Quo Vadis Hammerfall Cryptopsy Dismember Arch Enemy At the Gates Helloween Sigh Borknagar Dimmu Borgir Cannibal Corpse Norther (sounds a lot like CoB) Stratovarius Daughters #$%& I'm Dead Manowar Decapitated Metallica (first 3 albums) Megadeth Iced Earth Carcass Dark Tranquility Gandalf (listen to them, they're not what you might expect) Einherjer Sonata Arctica Unearth Immortal Kamelot Judas Priest Kreator Marduk Mythic Force Mastodon Nightwish Nile Rotting Christ Satyricon Sammael Zyklon Yngwie Malmsteen Vader Steel Attack Slayer Dissection Apocalytica Shadows Fall Sepultura Naglfar Obituary In Flames Graveworm Killswitch Engage System of a Down Dream Evil Death Sinergy (Alexei Laiho from CoB on guitar) Warmen (Jannes Warmen from CoB on keyboard) Metallica (first 3 albums) Megadeth Out of all the genres I probably like pure death the most. Though about a year ago I would have probably said power metal. Nothing makes me smile like a good power metal song. On another note, in two days I am most likely going to see Bodom and Iced Earth in NYC. It will be quite awesome.

Yes, Metal is the truly the music of kings. Nu-metal is of course an awful genre which has absolutely nothing to do with true metal.
My favourite metal bands are Black Sabbath, Manowar, Pantera,Ozzy, Iron Maiden, Manowar, Blind Guardian, Manowar, Metallica, Manowar, Megadeth, Manowar, Dream Theater and Manowar. |

Can't say I'm the biggest metal-fan, but I love Blind Guardian and Metallica (haven't heard any of their newer stuff though), Iron Maiden is pretty good and there are probably more I can't remember the names of.

System of a down is my favorite band. I love the kind of message they put out. I also adore Tool. I really don't like the kind of metal that's nothing more than mindless screaming, like Nile and Sepultura.

Yeah, I wouldn't be fooling anyone to say I'm a hardcore metalheaad, but nothing can excite me the way it does. And that excitement definatly can't be typed out; if you ever watched me listen to it, you would know. I felt inexplicably flattered myself when I read Hammerfall from your list. Power Metal is the best genre ever.

I was huge metal in the mid-80's when the first wave of Neo-Classical fusion hit big. Luckily was in an adult body by age 13. Blacks kids listening to metal then were easy teasing fodder.
I have kind of left the music scene all together. It just doesn;t move me as it once did. I went to the Ozzfest in Toronto in 2001 and was like I'm too old for this. Not the music per se but the scene was 20 years past for me. |

Have any of you heard of about the Russian band Aria?
They are the Russian version of Iron Maiden. |

 Do any of you guys know any Finnish rock/metal bands that are unknown in Britain? I love Finnish metal and I'm trying to get into more stuff, but the selection is limited where I am at the moment.

My favorites would be Children of Bodom, Stratovarius, To Die For, and Sonata Arctica.
A Few others bands I know of are Finntroll, Moonsorrow, Thy Serpent, Ensiferum, Amorphis, Shape of Despair, Nightwish, Sentenced, ...And Oceans. (I think most of those bands are black metal which I'm not really into.) |

The Nightwish album I would suggest to you is Oceanborn.
There are neo-classiacl fusion. The female lead singer uses a operatic style of singing. |
