i love metal but i am gonna stay away from it for a while because it does not help me at all.it only makes me more aggressive!
deathcore, and hardcore
fk aye, anything over 300bpm
years back, i was driving on the ice, listening to a loftgroover tape, i was loving it, sliding all over the road with headbutting tunes (until i crashed into a river)
these are probably not classed as metal
LOFTGROOVER
LENNY DEE
MARK NEWLANDS
HMS (r.i.p)
youve probably never heard of them, cause they are more GABBER than metal

I like (in no particular order):: Killswitch Engage, Marilyn Manson, Slipknot, Amon Amarth, Children of Bodom, Metallica, Tool (not sure if you would classify them as metal, though), Arch Enemy, Avenged Sevenfold, Lacuna Coil, System of a Down, KoRn, Nightwish, Rammstein, Atreyu. . .
. . . and I can't think of anymore at the moment!
I also like a lot of industrial metal bands as well.

My favorite metal has always been Glam/hair and thrash metal of the 80s and early 90s.I can't seem to get into the new stuff. I like some alternative rock.

Currently listening to a band called Slechtvalk. Others I enjoy include (in no particular order) Iron Maiden, Bathory, Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, Megadeth, Type O Negative, Pantera, Metallica, Cacophony, Helloween, Black Sabbath, Blind Guardian, Falconer, Dark Moor, Sonata Arctica, Manowar, Yngwie Malmsteen....
And I won't get into the "older ____" or "(musician) era ____" of bands. Nor will I pick a side in any of Dave Mustaine's many feuds.
For those interested, my friend gave me a great book. Sound of the Beast: The Complete Headbanging History of Heavy Metal by Ian Christe. It's about 6 or so years old, so it's obviously a few years from being complete nowadays. But it's great for finding some cooler, older bands that you don't hear too much about anymore.

I used to spend my days researching metal on Encyclopedia Metallum, so my knowledge of bands is fairly deep. I like all types of metal... but thrash has always been my favourite sub-genre.
Anyone ever heard of the bands Cyclone Temple, Watchtower or Dark Angel (to name a few)?

Great band, imo.
Black metal is my favorite style of metal. And like Cal, I spent countless hours on Encyclopedia Metallum looking for bands I might be into. My favorites are Panopticon, Woe, Sargeist, and Altar of Plagues.
Some non-black metal bands I'm into are Cult of Luna and Katatonia.

crestfallen - it's great to see that you're into newer/obscure bands, rather than listing the no-brainer bands everyone loves. I'm not trying to insult anyone, but I think a lot of less-known bands deserve WAY more recognition.
Do you guys exclusively listen to rock/metal? Or do you like other types of music as well? Apart form listening to anything rock related, I also listen to reggae, and jazz. Right now I'm even into electronica, which probably stemmed from my appreciation for prog rock and keyboards.
M.A is a great website though, it's also pretty humorous when you come along a band such as Zuckuss. But I really wish they weren't so stingy on accepting bands that aren't or haven't ALWAYS been metal. I guess that's their choice though.

Thanks man! And I definitely agree with you as far as lesser-known bands being deserving of more recognition than they get sometimes. Nothing against larger bands, because their music happens to touch a lot of people, but there's good stuff to be found if one doesn't mind digging deeper. Of course, it's all a matter of preference.
Personally, my tastes mainly fall under the umbrella of rock, be it punk, hardcore, metal, or singer-songwriter type of stuff.
And yes, M.A. is a wonderful site. That said, their criteria for accepting bands is kind of weird though. Oh, and Zuckuss' M-A page is hilarious too
