Good Heavy Metal Music

[tiny tim]

I like King Diamond and Mercyful Fate. I also like Slayer,Ozzy Osbourne,Ugly Kid Joe,Venom,Bathory,Necrophagia,Black Sabbath,Suffocation,Scorpions and so on.

That's how I feel about Opeth. Easily my favorite band and nothing else really comes close. They're a progressive death metal band (with HEAVY emphasis on the progressive part...especially their later stuff) and through them I've discovered other awesome bands like Porcupine Tree and Katatonia. Great, great stuff and Mikael Åkerfeldt is a god among men.

I like all 3 of those bands as well. Porcupine Tree is my favorite though. I could listen to Porcupine Tree constantly and never get tired of it.

I love Porcupine Tree. If Ackerfeldt is a God among men, then Steven Wilson is Jesus, for sure.

It's a shame they don't have a whole lot of mainstream exposure. It's not like they're an extreme band or anything. Probably too proggy for their own good.

King Diamond Conspiracy is a CD I keep on my phone.

Thing is I like Death Metal but not with all that screeming. I prefer newer metal to be honest.

This might be what you're looking for. Some of it has more screaming than others (As I lay dying, all that remains, underoath), some of it is a little bit poppy (lostprophets), but they all have some heavy stuff musically anyways.

To the metal snobs, don't waste your breath insulting my tastes. Story of the Year is my favorite band, and I don't care if you like them or not.

Steven Wilson has some good side projects too. I like 'Blackfield' a lot.

Thanks for the suggestions man. I'll look into every one. I really like this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zb1Wghne1w

Sorry but I kind of like Heavier stuff. Like Lamb of God without screeming. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqdZpxkzNvc&ob=av2n

If you like End of Heartache then listen to Hearts Burst into Fire by Bullet for my Valentine.

yea killswitch is a good one. I think it's pretty hard to find a lot of that heavier stuff without screaming or growling, but it's probably out there somewhere.

I agree with the poster who said you'll like bullet for my valentine. They are pretty similar to Killswitch, just a little more melodic.

So I'm convinced to look at another band besides Metallica. I kind of like Lamb of God now but I don't like all that screaming, however I like the actual music though. Do you have any suggestions to me?

Thanks,

If you like melodic, progressive metal, Dream Theater is king. The musicianship in that band is unparalleled. Their influences include Deep Purple, Rush, Yes, Metallica, Pink Floyd, Iron Maiden.....very diverse.

Little more emo too.

Indeed he is. Just found out he has left the band though.

Mike Portnoy Quits Dream Theater

Mike Portnoy dropped a bombshell on Dream Theatre fans on Wednesday, announcing that he is leaving the group after 25 years.

Portnoy is currently playing with Avenged Sevenfold, taking the place of drummer James "The Rev" Sullivan who was found dead in his home last December.

Both Dream Theater and Portnoy have issued statements about splitting (you can read both in full below) but Portnoy summed us his reasons for leaving by saying, ""After having had such amazing experiences playing with Hail, Transatlantic and Avenged Sevenfold this past year, I have sadly come to the conclusion that I have recently had more fun and better personal relations with these other projects than I have for a while now in Dream Theater"

Give the man credit for doing what makes him happy. Although while I'm sure it's true, a little more tact in his statement might have been a better idea. I mean, he has spent 25 years in the band, no need to give a backhanded slap on your way out.
