I'm sorry to correct you guys, but I am a music purist and incorrect genres upset me.

Slipknot, Refused, Manson, System of a Down, Korn, Adema, Offspring and Gorrilaz, and everything in the first post are DEFINATELY not metal. First of all, Slipknot, Refused, Manson, SOAD, Korn and Adema, and pretty much everything in the first post are nu-metal, which is music with slight metal influences + an influence of another sort. It's actually debated in the metal community whether it is metal or not. However, most avid fans agree that it's not. Also, Offspring is PUNK, not even close to metal. Gorrilaz are Alternative, and they are amazing.

If you guys want real metal, check out www.metal-archives.com

Some bands I personally reccomend are Cryptopsy (Death Metal), Dragonforce (Power Metal), Within Temptation ("gothic"/symphonic metal), Agathodaimon (Death metal), maudlin of the Well (Avant-garde metal with jazz and classical influences), Die Apokalyptischen Reiter (Symphonic Death Metal/Neoclassical), Kayo Dot (Same as maudlin of the Well, since they are pretty much the same band), Dark Tranquility (Symphonic Metal), Moonsorrow (Viking Metal), Finntroll (Folk/Black Metal), Arcturus (Progressive Metal) and early Ulver (Black Metal).

Okay. Now that's out of my system.

Not trying to insult anyone but I agree with Eddie.

Some of my favorite Metal bands are

Cradle of Filth
Black Sabbath
Metallica (everything from Kill em' All to And Justice for All)
Arch Enemy
Children of Bodom
Danzig
Slayer
Devin Townsend Band
X-Japan
Anthrax
and a whole lot more.

I agree with Eddie, by the way.. you have quite a nice list there buddy!

I'm a power metal, viking/scandic/folk/black metal fan.. and uhm, one of my personal favorite has to be Blind Guardian!

[ONILINK4444]

Metal music has a blurred separation between its branches. I consider metal to be pretty much anything heavy. i.e. screaming, double bass, maybe even a visual gimmick (not really).
Seriously though, my list also included bands of the rock genre but I figured I'd share those as well.
Eight of my mentioned bands I consider to be of the metal genre, the rest would be rock.

Well as so many before me said, eddie is right and my favourite bands atm are:

Arcturus (awesome
Arch Enemy
Amorphis
Opeth (Opeth are gods...)
Carnival In Coal (odd but cool, like jazz/funk mixed with black metal...)
Immortal
Katatonia
Kataklysm
Lamb Of God
Orphaned Land (awesome)
Still Remains (really soft but nice lyrics)
Tool (not reallly metal, but heck they're good so...)
and finally some odd tracks by Behemoth

I'm totally gonna check out Cryptopsy, Moonsorrow and Ulver though.

Thanks for backing me up, guys. I'm glad to see there are real metal fans here. Although, I'm into all music. Metal is just some of it. I'm also into jazz, classical, electronica, grindcore, rap, trance, alternative, IDM, and so on. I'm pretty much into anything under the sun. :P

Tool is actually concidered by many to be Prog metal.

Cryptopsy is typical death. They're really good though. Moonsorrow is amazing. I reccomend starting off with their Kivenkantaja album first, as that's what I started off with.

Ulver is VERY amazing. They started off as folk metal, their next album was black/folk metal, and then they did JUST folk. Acoustic and chanting.

Then they switched to techno, and now they're stylized techno/opera-ish.

The black metal album is called Nattens Madrigal - Aatte Hymne til Ulven i Manden. The folk metal album is called Bergtatt - Et Eeventyr i 5 Capitler. I reccomend those first.

They also have very close ties with Arcturus, seeing as the lead singer was once in Arcturus, as was the ex-guitarist and ex-bassist. :P

Nice to see there are some real metal fans on here! Those of you who know your metal will know where my siggy came from

Edit: definitely nice to see Ulver fans too!! I have a rare blood inside coloured vinyl
