Burning_October: Reccomend Some Metal

wakeupdead 01.05.08	i guarentee someone will recommend Opeth. But just go to my favourite bands list on my profile :) much of it is metal
Thor 01.05.08	The Faceless Ensiferum Arsis The Red Chord
freudianslipknot 01.05.08	Dunno - but I would suggest you listen to some of the classic metal stuff - e.g. Metallica "Ride the Lightning" and "Master of Puppets" and Iron Maiden "Number of the Beast" and "Powerslave" - even Black Sabbath "Paranoid" "Master of Reality" etc.
Yazz_Flute 01.05.08	For number 2, the band is Circle Takes the Sqaure, As the Roots Undo is the name of their album. I agree with freudianslipknot to an extend, start with more classic metal before trying more extreme stuff. I suggest Megadeth-Rust in Peace, and Master of Puppets is always a great place to start. Try Protest the Hero as well, then maybe get some BTBAM (get Alaska first) and then try to get into more scandinavian acts if you're interested: like Wintersun (as you listed) or In Flames.
masscows 01.05.08	For starters Death metal: Atheist-Unquestionable Presence Cryptopsy-None So Vile Immolation-Unholy Cult Dismember-Like an Ever Flowing Stream Death-Symbolic Black metal: Emperor-Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk Ulver-Bergtatt Burzum-Hvis Lyset Tar Oss Satyricon-Nemesis Divina Windir-1184 Metalcore: Converge-Jane Doe Botch-We Are the Romans Unearth-Stings of Conscience Poison the Well-The Opposite of December 7 Angels 7 Plagues-Jhazmyne's Lullaby Thrash Metal: Slayer-Reign in Blood Celtic Frost-To Mega Therion (this is close to black metal too) Metallica-Master of Puppets Sepultura-Beneath the Remains Exodus-Bonded by Blood Heavy/Traditional Metal: Iron Maiden-Number of the Beast Black Sabbath-Paranoid Mercyful Fate-Melissa King Diamond-Abigail Judas Priest-Painkiller Notable others: Opeth-Still Life Between the Buried and Me-Colors Sigh-Imaginary Sonicscape Sigh-Gallows Gallery Sigh-Hangman's Hymn I don't know shit about doom and power metal, so I left those out. There's some others too but whatever.
Altmer 01.05.08	Listen to Agalloch and Opeth. They rule copious amounts of face.
TheStarclassicTreatment 01.05.08	Avoid BTBAM and CTTS at first. Start with metalcore to ease into it. As I Lay Dying and Trivium, then expand.
TheStarclassicTreatment 01.05.08	Power Metal: Helloween Blind Guardian Sonata Arctica Gamma Ray
masscows 01.05.08	I don't know why he'd want to start with music that's mediocre or worse. Don't listen to Trivium. Don't go to Trivium shows. Don't buy Trivium merch. Don't support garbage.
Chewie 01.05.08	killswitch engage protest the hero shadows fall children of bodom all great metal bands and are worth checking out.
Bfhurricane 01.05.08	IRON MAIDEN. Dont listen to any other metal band before them. They'll help you tolerate more modern, heavier stuff.
TheStarclassicTreatment 01.05.08	Ascendancy-era Trivium that is btw But power metal might be the way to go. And Prog metal - Dream Theater, Queensryche, Pain Of Salvation etc.
Bfhurricane 01.05.08	This list of bands is probably really overwhelming for you. If you want to take my advice, get any album by Iron Maiden, "Operation: Mindcrime" by Queensryche, "Ride the Lightning" by Metallica, "Waking the Fallen" by Avenged Sevenfold. That will give you a great rounding of different types of metal, all tolerable.
thesystemisdown 01.06.08	Definitely check out Tool. I'd say that Iron Maiden and Tool are the two litmus test bands.
blackened07 01.06.08	Cryptopsy, Necrophagist, Goatwhore, Immortal, Emperor, Aborted, The Faceless, The Red Chord, Paths of Possession, Iron Maiden, Blind Gaurdian, Children of Bodom,
Poet 01.06.08	To add to Starclassic's list, you need Lost Horizon, they blow every other power metal band out of the water. They are probably the best vocals in metal too.
SynGates 01.06.08	Definitely Cryptopsy, Lost Horizon, Opeth, Children of Bodom, Gorod, and Dark Tranquillity. but there's a ton of other great suggestions here. Check 'em all out - ya never know.
jrowa001 01.06.08	Opeth, Edge of Sanity, Dark Tranquillity
rattlehead42147 01.06.08	The album Focus by Cynic will change your life and perception of music. but I also recommend Protest the Hero's Kezia since you like BTBAM.
