Hey, I just wanted to let everyone know that there was a limit on how many options I could put. So, while I regret missing manowar, I think some of the other suggestions are lame. C'mon, pantera? Anthrax is okay, I guess, but does anyone see them as the best? At the gates released "the red in the sky is ours," and therefore are true metal, nuff said.
Btw, how did burzum get 2 votes if 3 people voted for them?
Philéas, that is freaking awesome!

Death without contest is the best band on that list. Followed by Athiest.

True Metal was coined by Manowar and actually refers to a type of fantasy oriented, classical influenced, honor and glory defined pure metal. Since it was coined by Manowar to describe themselves it stands to reason that they may be the forunner in "True Metal". Even though a lot of the bands listed may be great metal bands, they may not meet the definition of "True Metal".

I say Black Sabbath because of the many many amazing riffs that were later used to make equally great songs by greats like Sleep, Goatsnake, Orange Goblin, Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss, Cathedral, blah blah blah you get the point. They were powerful then and now. They remained great until RJD's departure, but then he came back and they were great again for a moment.

^That was certainly one great thing about Sabbath, is that their influence did not just stay within metal, but extended to genres like post-rock and stoner rock. Even some punk and grunge bands cite Sabbath as influence.

Death, THE GREATEST METAL BAND EVER
oh and Napalm Death wern't metal (especially not TRUE metal) untill their last few albums with few (none) of the origianal members, they are mostly good for their grindcore, wich is a punk genre (or was when they started playing it), like the punk version of death metal

^I found Napalm Death's Grindcore period to be almost completely unlistenable. I've tried to be open minded about grindcore in genera , but I could never understand how anyone could listen to it.

To become a son of northern darkness, you have to worship the metal gods and have a touch of evil... (in other words, nope, prog isn't true metal....)

I used to listen to that sort of thing, but I can only remember Napalm Death's first two albums as a brief murky blur. I'm over metal in general, now, but I kept hold of some Discordance Axis and Brutal Truth CDs; grind can be varied and intelligent, even if my ears can rarely take it nowadays. =)

Black Sabbath, aand their best album would be... Master of Reality.
Nuke: You have a perfect excuse for missing Manowar out of the poll. Since they coined the term, then "true metal" as a definition only describes a band's proximity in sound and ethos to the loinclothed ones themselves. Including Manowar in such a poll would thus be pointless, since they could only win. Good logic, eh? Hence I voted for the only band Manowar could ever acknowledge as their superiors, Joey DeMaio's former employers Black Sabbath.

I voted, then forgot to post  ... I don't really know about 'true' metal (whatever it means ), but I chose the mighty Judas Priest as representatives of classic heavy metal. Bands like Sabbath, Maiden, Metallica and Megadeth are, in my very humble opinion, definitely less straightforward than the British Steelers were at their peak.

That may be true... and that's why I don't consider myself a metal-head as Judas Priest is, in my view, the very definition of heavy metal, and I just like them, barely. I prefer bands with other elelements like all those you mentioned and, mostly, progressive-metal bands. I guess I'm a prog-metal-head.

I personally believe that the first two albums of High Tide are a lot heavier than most of what is listed here.
