I want to discover new metal bands
I want to discover new bands, someone recommended me some metal song? I prefer the nu metal and heavy metal.
2010simoDK, the legend is back
Italians do it better
Here's some great bands you should definitely listen to:

Maximum the Hormone.
Deicide.
Korpiklaani.
Heidevolk.
Slayer.
Fueled by Fire.
We Butter the Bread with Butter.
HORSE the Band.
Death.
DethKlok.
Children of bodom.
Ensiferum.

I'd like to think I have loads of great bands in my collection, PM me if you want some more.

Are those you posted supposed to be the great ones? :/

I'm just going to say maximum the hormone is the best one of those. The rest of them take themselves too seriously even though they actually can't even write good music. Well, I guess DethKlok doesn't take themselves seriously either but whatever. Death is almost okay, I guess, but there are way better bands who play a similar style.

The thread is way too vague, can you you give us some examples of songs you like or sub-genres more specific than nu metal?

Agalloch
Augury
Chimp Spanner
Cynic
Devin Townsend (anything by him)
Exivious
Gojira (the way of all flesh, other albums are mediocre)
Isis
Mirrorthrone
Nevermore (this godless endeavor, other albums are mediocre)
Odious Mortem
Opeth (first two albums?)
Rosetta (first two albums?)
Swallow the sun
Septic Flesh
Sybreed
Textures (drawing circles, other albums are mediocre)
The Faceless
Unexpect
Clorkwork8: You seriously don't like Slayer? I've nothing more to say to you.

That's just your opinion.
What gives you the right to label a band as 'awful' when millions of others disagree.
I doubt you can even call yourself a metalhead if you don't respect Slayer.
You're just a conformist poser.
I enjoy most, if not all genres of metal, anything from nu-metal to grindcore.
You seem to be trapped in a corner, almost exclusively listening to progressive black metal.
Open your mind, my friend.

Also, getting back on-topic, I'd recommend listening to some Power-Metal to test the water.

Try Blind Guardian or PowerWolf.

It's all about opinion.

I don't like Slayer, but that's only because of they'r vocal, if Slayer was isntrumental, or had a different vocalist... I would totally listen to them.

Anyhow, if you guys plan on continueing your discussion of what you consider metal and whatnot, I suggest taking it to a new thread or pm's because this thread was made 2010simo, and he didn't request a fight/discussion. But something to listen to, which you guys have delivered, should be the end of it...
