Right now I'm into, in no particular order, Dis-Lord, Marduk, Rammstein, Meshuggah, Slipknot (yep, I know it's teeny bopper metal), Children of Bodom, and Naglfar.
Love the Scandinavian stuff.

yeah, it's all about the scandanavian metal. there's something potent that arises when a lack of sun for half the year and a persistent system of pagan beliefs that lends itself to kickass metal.
at the moment i'm listening to heaps of opeth, the haunted (fave band at the moment), children of bodom, in flames, meshuggah, soilwork, at the gates, bloodbath, etc. the only american metal i listen to consistently is 80s thrash like slayer and metallica (kill 'em all being an incredibly underrated album).
and don't worry about slipknot, if it wasn't for their debut album back in 99 (and in particular the song purity) i never would have started listening to metal. for me, they were the gateway drug.

I cannot get into the newer scope of metal. I cant stand it. Its so technical and boring to me. Im not gonna say it sucks, but its just not for me. I would take Kreator or Sodom over any of these newer bands. I do however like the Haunted and Children of Bodom and a handful of others. I totally agree with Gia about Marduk, but they arent really new. I guess Im talking anything post 2000. I saw Slipknot open for Type-O Negative, and hated them. Tours of the summer: Exodus and Full Blown Chaos and then comes DRI and Subzero.
April 18th. New SOIA album along with the Icepick album.

yo terijo, your opinion is welcome. i'm always open to checking out music i haven't heard before, so can you recommend some bands and then their best album so i can check them out? i'm trying to get into some of the older stuff but it's hard to find out who's worth listening to without talking to someone who's a fan...

just a few here:
Exodus: Bonded by blood
Testament: The Legacy, The Gathering(drums are insane!!!)
Vio-lence: Eternal Nightmare
Exhorder: Slaughter in the Vatican
Machine Head: Burn my eyes
Kreator: Endless pain, Extreme Aggression,
Mercyful Fate: Melissa
Slayer: Seasons and everything before
Sepultura: Arise
Overkill: Under the Influence
Nuclear Assault: Game Over
Im sorry, I could type forever on this subject, but those are some great albums right off the top. There is so much out there to check out. Posts like this drive me mad, and I spend days just digging thru my music collection...but it just makes me appreciate the music even more.

thanks mate. i've got the machine head, slayer and sepultura albums, and love them all. i'll have to check out the others...
**by the way, if there is a mod reading this, can you change the title of this thread from opeth to metal thread or something? it's definitely moved away from opeth and i'd love all metalheads to jump in**

Not really. Its all simple bar chords, any kid can play it. Messhugah is really complex though

Fuck yeah. I still listen to early 80's-mid nineties thrash. Cant get enough of it. Glad there are still bands playing it today, including my own.

Unholy Alliance with Slayer, Lamb of God Mastadon. Also on the 23rd at the Key Club, Morbid Angel, Behemoth and Krisum.
Soulfly performs on the 22nd as well.
Chico, I would love to check out your band. If you can send me a link to some MP3's or whatever you got, I'd appreciate it. PM me if need be.
Yeah the Unholy Alliance tour with Slayer...I would love to go, but at 29 my body betrays me. years of drinking,sports and Jackass like stunts have wrecked it. I just cant go for an all day festival type show anymore. Not even for Slayer(who are my favorite band of all time)... the last time I danced/moshed at a show, I pulled my groin.

I suppose Rammstein is OK to listen to, there are many other German bands that sound like them.
I derive the most fun from translating their perverted lyrics from German, and then showing them to the unknowing

been listening to the album Bloodred Hatred by Hatesphere (that's a lot of hate) and it rocks. Danish neo-thrash, similar to the Haunted. check it yo.

The new Sodom album is really good. Has that mid-80's sound and feel to it. I been playing some oldies lately. Dark Angel:Time does not heal and Exodus: Impact is Imminent.

I've listened to Battles in the North by Immortal before, I just can't quite get into it. I find it interesting though. Has anyone heard Mental Cortex by Coroner (Swiss I think)? An epic piece of late 80s thrash, i've read reviews that compare it to Master of Puppets

Coroner kicks ass. I think they are German though.
yeah, I think they were German, and Im pretty sure the album was Mental Vortex.
All Music Guide has them being Swiss, but hey, I don't know 
Though you're right, it is Mental Vortex, I suffered a brain-fart. Either way, great album

Machine Head - Burn My Eyes
Classic album that MH have never bettered, Old has possibly my favourite riff of all time in it.

The new Sadus album "Out for blood" is amazing. Get the one with the bonus disc, they cover Invaders from Maiden and Merciless Death from Dark Angel. The whole album is great.
and yeah Eddie, MH's Burn my eyes is fucking timeless. I never get tired of that record. Their new DVD "Elegies" is really a good view. they just did a bang up cover of "Battery" from Metallica for the 20th anniversary of Master of Puppets. They fucking killed it!!!
The new Celtic Frost is also very interesting,in a good way.

I like them I've seen them live 3 times now. I've seen them play pretty much every song before Ghost Reveries. I'd have to say my taste in Metal ranges from the obscure to mainstream. Quote:

Which one?

Corporation 187 - Pefection in Pain
more european neo-thrash, this shit is fast and brutal, i listened to it three times in a row last night without even realising it had finished. fat as a nipple if you're into bands like the haunted, hatesphere etc. as i am.

Terror 2000, a side project featuring members of Soilwork and Darkane who play balls-out thrash with some great song titles, such as "Liquer Saved Me From Sports." They also have some classic cock-rock lyrics:
"I want to be a hunk, with a metal guitar,
Cos people tell me i could go pretty far.
I need some kicks and some Kerry King licks,
And get the chicks by the bar."
It's all in good fun, and the music is pretty good too.
