List your favourite heavy metal (don't mean classic metal like Maiden, etc, but death / black / grind / doom etc.) bands / albums! Mine in no particular order.. Immortal - their albums "Damned in Black" and "At the Heart of Winter" are simply masterpieces. The riffs of these guys could break down concrete walls! Just legends of the Norwegian metal scene. Arch Enemy - great technical death with a female vocalist. Her growls are pretty rough! "Wages of Sin" is my fave album from them. Death - one of the grandfathers of death metal! No need for explanations. "Individual Thought Patterns" stands out as a masterpiece. Candlemass and Swallow the Sun - my Doom metal favourites. StS is Finnish , pretty well known here in the metal underground. Spectacular doom!! Candlemass' "Epicus Doomicus Metallicus" is my favourite doom album tho. Vintersorg is my favourite vocalist, his growls and cleans are just perfect! A bit like Mikael Åkerfeldt in a way. His solo material is pretty astonishing. Extol - an underground technical death / black band from Sweden. These guys sure know how to play! Almost prog at times. Then there is of course Sentenced . They used to make death / black metal in the early 90's , for example the album "North From Here" is one of the best Finnish metal albums of all time. Nowadays their music is more accessible for the big audiences, depending more on catchy tunes than heavy riffing. Discuss.. I know there are quite a few metalheads here!! PS. It would also be nice to get a few suggestions on what metal to listen to next!!

 You're right, my bad. One I forgot to mention in my original post : Ulver , definitely one of the most original bands in the Norwegian black metal scene!! I just love their debut album "Bergtatt" , which has a lot of acoustic sections and clean vocals as well. |

Also; if you are interested in the roots of extreme metal, I strongly suggest you to check Venom's "Black Metal". It's from 1982, and you can tell.  But still, considering their satanic lyrics combined with the soaring guitars and the fuzzy sound, these guys were surely seen as very extreme in the 80's.  Edit. They're Britons by the way, not Norwegians, although Norway is the home of black metal these days. |

AUTOPSY "Mental funeral" Perfect album title! There's pictures of the guys smoking dope from 2 meter long glass pipes before their rock'n'roll act. CARCASS "Symphonies of Sicness" DEATH "Human" MY DYING BRIDE "Turn Loose The Swans" ...there's good material also on their other releases. NAPALM DEATH Any of their material to mid 90's. "From Enslavement to Obliteration" is their best. SEPULTURA "Arise" and "Beneath The Remains" Some titles from BOLT THROWER and IMMOLATION also. |

Great album! Can't listen to it too often though it seems. Feel slightly in the mood for it now though. Opeth and My Dying Bride are great bands. Primarily however i enjoy "classic" metal, e.g., Judas Priest, Iron Maiden e.t.c., and more recently getting into Mercyful Fate and King Diamond. -------------

Just a few essentials: Summoning - Dol Guldur, Nightshade Forests. Epic Fantasy Metal with heavy keyboards in looping, classicaly inspired phrases, often running textural changes. Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tarr Oss. The best from the second wave. Therion - Beyond Sanctorum Amorphis - The Karelian Isthmus - Two of the greatest albums of the European Melodic Death tradition circa early 90's, when Death and Melodic were not mutually exclusive. The above would be an excellent overview of Extreme Metal, with only ***** albums. Don't waste your time with Opeth. |

Slayer are difficult to describe - I'd call it Thrash Metal, but their music also has many attibutes of Death Metal. It's Thrash with more brutal vocals and at a faster pace.

Slayer is thrash metal. I wouldn't consider them death metal. IMO, Paul Bostaph (the 2nd drummer of Slayer) was better than Dave Lombardo. Although Dave was good Paul seems more technical. Recently I've been into Fear Factory. I may be wrong, and probably am, but I think it's progressive like. Anyone have anything to say on that? ------------- System of a Down, Slayer, Fear Factory, Death, Children of Bodom, Meshuggah, Symphony X, Nevermore, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden. |

 Re Annihilator, they're alright but the vocals (and lyrics
 ) tend to spoil it a bit. The first two records still get in my CD player from time to time though. |

You a thrash expert, Mike? At least you seem to know a bunch of obscure thrash groups I've never heard of. The only thrash band that I've gotten to know properly is Pantera. They rock. Darrell Dimebag was a fine, fine guitarist. Vulgar Display of Power

Oh and by the way Mike, you should check out Borknagar and Vintersorg. Borknagar has three or four prog metal albums, and their first one is black metal, but a fine one also. I bet you might like them, being a friend of prog metal!  Vintersorg is the vocalist of Borknagar, his solo material is very good!! But not as proggy as Borknagar. A lot of double bass drums and lots of clean vocals by Vintersorg. This guy is probably my fave metal singer after Åkerfeldt. Both have the amazing ability to sing both top notch growls and cleans!

Well as far as prog metal goes, I really like Dream Theater, but I find it hard to get into any other bands. I tried Symphony X and Queensryche, but its abit cheesy, and i get the feeling theyre trying too hard to sound like something else. I heard Pain of Salvation are really good though, Im looking for a place to start with them. I was asking about Slayer cause I had an arguement with some metalhead friends about it being thrash or death metal, it seems abit of both really. Edit: I play drums, and I must admit Heavy metal is great fun to play, you can always challenge yourself with it. |

Actually, I'm more like a metalhead than a progger, my musical taste is
much closer to heavy metal than to the prog mammoths. I'd like to
mention some classic metal albums mostly from the technical
speed/thrash genre Mekong Delta - Dances of Death, Kaleidoscope Forbidden - Forbidden Evil, Distortion Voivod - Dimension Hatröss, Nothingface Testament - The Gathering Dyoxen - First Among Equals Toxik - World Circus, Think This Realm - Endless War, Suiciety Death Angel - The Ultra-Violence, Act III Annihilator - Alice In Hell, Never Neverland Agent Steel - Omega Conspiracy, Order of the Illuminati Coroner - Mental Vortex Mercyful Fate - Melissa, Don't Berak The Oath Atheist - Piece of Time, Unquestionable Presence, Elements Death - Human, Individual Thought Patterns, Symbolic, The Sound of Perseverance "I know many obscure metal bands, that's true. But I'm not really an expert on Thrash, because during the time when Thrash had it's peak as a genre, I was already onto something else - Prog Metal. "To Mike: I'm 28, so I have also missed the peak of thrash in the late 80s. The same happened to me, discovered bands such as Rush and Images and Words from a then-new band called Dream Theater and these discoveries completly changed my musical taste. But later I have recognized that the diversity is one of the most importat thing in music and I started to collect things from distinct thrash bands and also some CDs from hair metal bands. Now I can listen Enchant, Forbidden, Shark Island, Winger, Death, Rush, Mezarkabul/Pentagram, Bruce Dickinson, Candlemass and Ephel Duath in quick succession. |

One man project Burzum is worth checking out! "Hvis Lyset Tar Oss" is a VERY, VERY good album, mainly instrumental. This music is also called ambient black-metal, the synths play a vital part in the overall sound and the tempo is not very fast. Also the riffs are pretty repetitive and very hypnotizingly catchy. The vocals are extremely brutal shrieks. "Filosofem" is also worth your time. Quite a mythical person this Varg Vikerners. He's the one every BM fan likes to talk crap about. |

I find the whole image-based black metal scene more ridiculous than amusing. Ulver's first albums stand out as the sole bm I really enjoy. Some death metal bands find their way to my ears every now and then, Here's a selection: Ajattara, mainly for the finnish growls At The Gates, the fathers of melodic death/thrash Cannibal Corpse, you know who I'm talking about. Carcass, Former grindcore, later albums towards melodic death. Cryptopsy, insane tech-death. The Forsaken, good oldskool death Nile, as above ------------- The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.

Trash is not thrash....jajajaj! I like much more extreme thrash than tharash...Kreator, Slayer and Sodom. From black I like Emperor, Satyricon and some others. Im now being introduced in death...and bands I like from xtreme are : Graveworm, Dark Lunacy (with violin), Stormlord, Into Eternity, Edge of Sanity, bloodbath, death, opeth,nile Zyklon and Lunaris... For years ive been a lot in power. But now m very tired of double bass horse running or epic kings and knights melodies. All the lyrics telling the same... Maybe someone youd like my favourite band (:D) : Stravaganzza from spain...a extrange mixture of metal...from black to prog, with doom and death and a great drummer. The singer and the drummer are the same as in saratoga. They only have 2 albums but theyre f**king great!!! Bye guys ------------- There's nothing left to loose |

I haven't seen much doom bands on the topic. It seems that all people
focus more on thrash, death & black. And doom can also get pretty
extreme. Some doom bands get really heavy. Heavy as thrash, black or
death. Just check out: Sunn O))) Esoteric Khanate Bunkur Burning Witch Skepticism Evoken Thergothon Boris Earth Goatsnake Moss Hierophant Catacombs Torture Wheel Now on less heavy doom, this bands are great: Shape of Despair Somnium Mortuum Avrigus Estatic Fear Ras Algethi As Divine Grace Chalice Dawn of Dreams Draconian How Like A Winter (Early)Lacrimas Profundere (Earky)Katatonia (Early)Anathema Virgin Black Silentium Silent Cry And the doom Juggernaut: MY DYING BRIDE |

Have a look at this page: http://www.tribe13.de/trash-metal.php - http://www.tribe13.de/trash-metal.php The title is Trash Metal, but throughout the text "Thrash Metal" is used. IT IS JUST A TYPO! BTW: I think that the album Tormato should be renamed to Tomato ... 36,900 vs. 7,500,000. Before you go on with this, you might want to consider that Trash Metal is not only used (wrongly) as a label for a music genre, but also for scrap metal, metal trash cans etc. ... and generally "Trash" is a more often used word than "Thrash", so it's obvious that the word will produce more results in search engines. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

Please do not consider this a troll post but... How is it possibel to label every single band? Some groups reinvented themselves every single album. Sometimes people say a band with 10 albums is not prog because they have heard one of their albums. Slayer is a speed metal band or a thrash metal band or both. There vocalist does not sound like the singer of Opeth or Cannibal Corpse so no, they are not death metal. And I say that with Divine Intervention being the last Slayer I have heard. Look I am a hypocrite. I think my favorite thrash band is Sodom. From Better Off Dead - Code Red they have been awesome thrash. Forget In Flames, Dark Tranqulity, and Gothenberg in General. Coroner were the best technical death thrash band ever. I like Grin, Mental Vortex and No More Color. Rage was speed and thrash but maybe (depending on opinion) at one point in their career became symphonic prog metal, see Lingua Mortis, XIII and Ghosts. I do like Black in Mind, Perfect Man, Secrets in a Weird World, The Missing Link and Trapped. I do think these fit more in the speed thrash label. Mekong Delta started out as speed and thrash with progressive touches, but eventually became almost prog rock. Maybe they were just metal, but their last two release were not speed thrash. I hope I do not seem like a jerk, but can you see my point about labeling? |

Hell yeah. Deathspell Omega is probably the best modern BM band, not just because their music is highly innovative but also because the lyrics on their latest album, Si Monumentum Requices Circumspice are very intelligent and thought-provoking. One might even call it a concept album -> prog

I am very surprised that no one has mentioned either of these two bands yet: Sportlov -black metal with winter sports/holiday themes. The song "Snöbollskrieg" has such great lyrics. Of course, you have to be able to understand Swedish, but what the heck... Ninja Magic -It's ninja speed metal. 'nuff said. Also, the song Bullet's Breath by Iniquity deserves a mention. I bow to everyone who can hear what they sing about without seeing the text. (Hell, I'll bow to anyone who can hear it with the text). |

I like Necrophagist and Origin a little bit. Extreme Metal fans are usually very cool people. Well Extreme Death Metal fans, I don't really like Old School Death Metal or Black Metal fans. -------------   "Mastodon sucks giant monkey balls." |

progressive death metal is really interesting, such as death, opeth or cynic..i can only stand one black metal, and i really dont like it, but its not disgusting to me, which is marduk...as you can see the extreme metal is not my favorite genre... ------------- Step after step, We try controlling our fate, When we finally start living it's become too late... |

Doesn't bother me that much. Sure, some of them are pure racist idiots, but Slavonic paganism, nature and Anti-judeo-christianity seem to be the main topics in their songs. The rather strong nationalist ideologies in Eastern Europe seem quite natural to me. Remember; the Iron Curtain was over Eastern Europe for a long time. |

My favourites, in no particular order: Windir - everything in their catalogue. RIP Valfar. Enslaved - Eld, Mardraum, ISA, Monumension, Below The Lights Opeth - everything in their catalogue, My Arms Your Hearse perhaps being my favourite. Arcturus - La Masquerade Infernale, Sideshow Symphonies Rakoth - Planeshift. Russian band with flute(!) Nile - In Their Darkened Shrines, Black Seeds of Vengeance, Annihilation of the Wicked Old Man's Child - Ill-Natured Spiritual Invasion, Revelation 666 Thorns - Thorns, Thorns vs Emperor Immortal - At the Heart of Winter Akercocke - Choronzon Behemoth - Thelema 6 Other bands I listen to on occasion include Electric Wizard, Ophthalamia, Atrox, Morgul, Bloodbath, Vreid(the new band from the Windir guys), Satyricon etc. Lots of Norwegian bands. There's a reason why we rule the extreme metal world ------------- With magic, you can turn a frog into a prince.

The only four extreme metal bands I can say are among my favorite bands are: Wintersun Megadeth Children of Bodom Cacophony Slayer, Norther, In Flames, and Pantera are alright, too. I've also heard plenty of other extreme metal bands, like Emperor, Immortal, Dimmu Borgir, Opeth, Cradle of Filth, Testament, King Diamond, Motorhead, and Exodus, and I guess they are cool, but I prefer other genres of music over extreme metal. |

I used to listen some extreme metal a lot, but i rarely do anymore. I don't know why. Krisiun - Having a great drummer Malevolent Creation - father of Vader Behemoth - Also superb Biomechanical - Mindblowing thrash-death based extreme prog, try it! Lock-up - Drummer is Nicholas Barker, what else to say? Mayhem - Recent highly technical albums esp. Hypocrisy etc... |

Many good bands mentioned in this thread, and black metal bands as well Sceptic is a very good Polish technical death metal band, somewhat in the Death vein. Burning Witch's "Crippled Lucifer" is a little-known doom metal classic. Suffocation and Immolation are also great. Can't say the same for Incantation and Malevolent Creation |

I'm going to sum all my thoughts from everything I have seen here: 1. Slayer are indeed a thrash metal band ...Mike 2. Trash metal is not used anywhere instead of Thrash Metal 3. I'm much more into heavy/thrash/power metal because when I was 12, I didnt know who Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis etc. were (I know thats an offence) but I certainly did know who Metallica, Maiden, Anthrax, Annihilator, Sepultura etc. were... dont blame me 4. Favourite bands (not classic): My dying bride, Paradise lost (-1995), In flames, At the gates, The haunted, Annihilator, Nevermore, and Psychotic Waltz (oups...sorry thats prog |
