Good Heavy Metal?

[jdc753 10+ year member]

Probably too mainstream or not heavy enough but here are a bunch of bands I can think of that might be worth looking up. You've probably already heard most of them too though

Opeth

Amon Amarth

Mudvayne

Sonata Artica

In Flames

Dragon Force

Strapping Young Lad

Soilwork

Stone Sour (30/30-150)

August Burns Red

Underoath

All that Remains

my 2 cents

edit: Few more

Lacuna Coil

Children of Bodom

Way to good to be called heavy metal, but listen to Between the Buried and Me, particularly their 2007 album Colors.

And it doesn't hurt to pay respect to the backbone of metal. Look for Judas Priest's Painkiller, British Steel, or Screaming for Vengeance.

I love that band, and that album.

I saw Between the Buried and Me in concert... Along with Opeth. They opened for Dream Theater. I had never heard them before that night. They sucked.

Listen to Black Sabbath. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
