alright guys, i went and downloaded me some manowar. what else do i need? i've got a long plane ride ahead of me.

Dragonforce, Harry and the Potters, Buckethead, King Crimson.

"i will hunt you down and tear you limb from limb"

Mastodon?

High On Fire

Battlelore
Running Wild
Finntroll
Korpiklaani (my highest recomendation)

Apparently, Pig Destroyer - Phantom Limb.

Or, just get Sepultura - Roots and toss it on repeat for 9 hours. That should do ya.

Dimmu Borgir

Satyricon

Bethlehem

Cryptopsy - None So Vile

Lord Worm's finest work w/ them. Blistering stuff from Flo and Jon, too.

Edit: Their preceding (and first, perhaps) album, Blasphemy Made Flesh is quite good as well.

mayhem
nachmystium
arsis
municipal waste (get yer party thrash on)

i guess the real question is what your into

if you're looking for more power metal
check out gamma ray, they are space/futuristic power metal

for fantasy, rhapsody (of fire) is really good and accessible

+1

-4

Try Blind Guardian instead.

and Neurosis

pelican - march into the sea
pig destroyer - prowler in the yard
botch - we are the romans
cephalic carnage - exploiting dysfunction/ "ugh cant think of it but tha album after that one i mentioned"
kalibas - smells like menopause

edit: lol@ roots hahhaa. max is one funny guy to meet in person. after i did meet him i stopped listening to them, i was 14 i believe.

Lucid Interval. Pretty good album. Except for that acoustic track...

Meshuggah is the only metal band I actually like.

While their riffs sometimes seem redundant, if you're into odd meters, Meshugga is a must.

hanson

dark tranquillity. amon amarth. insomnium. soilwork. disarmonia mundi. at the gates. nightrage. bolt thrower. dimension zero. arsis. strapping young lad. undying. with passion. the year of our lord. rhapsody. freedom call. avantasia. blind guardian.

Slayer
The Sword
Saber Tiger

For all your multi-cultural metal needs.

king diamond
napalm death
repulsion
extreme noise terror
siege
origin
nile (particularly some of the earlier work, which was less produced and had a sort of warmth that was awesome)
burned by the sun
employer/employee


trying to think who else hasn't been nominated yet....ummm....

venom
khanate
enslaved
rotting c*ck
blockheads
faxed head
devourment
ooh, ooh! the berzerker
destroyer 666
nuclear assault

that's all i can think of off the top of my head....where's 666pack? and when's his radio show again?

oh, and to dream of autumn and anthrax.

I think the CC album is lucid interval

Get cave in's untill your heart stops too.

Start with "Leviathan"

Melvins
Big Business
"Master of Puppets" by Metallica is a must own.

Mastodon-Remission (the version with their cover of Emerald on it) and Levithen
Slayer -Reign in Blood
Sepultura -Chaos A.D.
Judas Priest -Painkiller
Neurosis -Given to the Rising
Converge -Jane Doe

yeah, jane doe...converge's best album, fosho.
