Do you have any recommendations for me?

 

[melchi]

I liked helmet back in the day.

 

[Tempokai]

Gloryhammer, Alestorm, Ne Obliviscaris, Avantasia, Edguy, Mastadon, Ningen Isu, Sabaton, Dragonforce, Manowar, Opeth, Sonata Arctica
and so on

 

[Hans.Trondheim]

I dunno if Sabaton is truly heavy metal, but I also recommend Powerwolf, and Windrose.

 

[RepresentingWrath]

Meshuggah, Batushka, Soilwork.

 

[QuercusMalus]

Eluveitie for some pagan folk metal.
Anthrax
Megadeth- One of my favorite songs is Symphony of Destruction.

 

[Representing_Tromba]

Give me a second.

These are just a few that I would recommend.

 

[LilRora]

Amaranthe is good.

 

[Jocelyn_Uasal]

Infected Mushroom is like heavy metal/electronia. Been a fan for a while, they're one of the best selling bands in Israeli music history too

 

[WinterTimeCrime]

I only listen to BabyMetal, and that one song from Aggretsuko.

 

[QuercusMalus]

And since it's getting closer to Halloween, my favorite Iron Maiden song:
Fear of The Dark

 

[gaylolis]

you probably might enjoy rock in opposition (RIO) bands like art zoyd and univers zero

tho what i listen a lot more is art zoyd

they're like metal using chamber instruments

magma also has heavy and dark sound despite not strictly metal band, one of my fav albums is udu wudu. my fav songs there are soleil d'ork and de futura.

the other band i recommend is henry cow, particularly their album, western culture. it's some heavy fire mixtape right there.

 

[CharlesEBrown]

If you are into guitar work, and have not encountered him yet, I would look into a guy who performs under the name "Buckethead" - other than that, I'm not much of a metal fan myself, but have enjoyed the work of Motorhead and, the metal parodies of Spinal Tap (especially their second album, Break Like the Wind). and the kind of surreal Beatles/Metallica hybrid band Beatallica (who, thanks to a bizarre cease and desist order, can not SELL their work, but can and do give it away, or did last time I checked).

 

[Dark_Phoenix_Zaetyk]

Let me steal some recommendation in here too.

X-Japan

I wouldn't have put Antti Martikainen in the metal camp but it's fantastic epic music though, so...it passes
