The Cohhilition

Gonna start a general heavy metal discussion in here. All metal is game here, posting some of your favorites is encouraged. Here's some of my favorite metal bands:

Danzig: [MEDIA=youtube]HF6z7F4PTHc[/MEDIA]

Scar Symmetry: [MEDIA=youtube]8NsFx6iVOaA[/MEDIA]

Judas Priest: [MEDIA=youtube]Gjsn7aLPgCM[/MEDIA]

Kreator: [MEDIA=youtube]ulbFJ0Cvfic[/MEDIA]

Wargasm: [MEDIA=youtube]1K5xnzSeYp0[/MEDIA]

Darkthrone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mC1UXwjdUsI

Amon Amarth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kX8J9Y1YkUU

Mastodon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hA5MeYV1eI



Also, this may seem like advertising, but I know someone from Teksyndicate who has his own metal band, so if you want to, check his music out, the demo album is free: https://hitd.bandcamp.com/

I know this is more melodic than typical metal. In fact a lot of it is not that heavy, which is dissimilar to the rest of the bands content, but I think it deserves a shout-out anyway. Can't beat that chorus.

And of course the original outro song, that can't be ignored.

NU
[MEDIA=youtube]S9Qrvxa-n20[/MEDIA]
Some Nu metal and easily one of my favorite bands ever.

Industrial/Gothic
[MEDIA=youtube]Txtkw_IgYgg[/MEDIA]
Now some Industrial Metal with Rammstein and this is probably one of my favorites from them.

I had to modify the category for Deathstars, because these guys are both Industrial and Gothic.

Power
[MEDIA=youtube]J-TUufvK0gU[/MEDIA]
Kamelot with Khan and post Khan still remains one of my favorite bands and I stand by that Khan is one of the best Metal singers ever.

Masterplan,each of their songs are just lyrical and compositional masterpieces that prove metal is epic.

Blind Guardian need I say more? It also helps that this whole album is about one of my favorite book series of all time The Wheel of Time

Hammerfall I know this song is played quite a bit for them but it is really good.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJ2u3pRpCjc
Oomph! is overshadowed internationally by the German powerhouse that I showed above Rammstein but they are also very good.

Sonata Artica, these guys deserve more love they are great!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cGbawCg4WU
Avantasia a German supergroup that is too good to pass up

Melodic

DevilDriver time with MONSTERS OF THE DEEP!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBZ5SLJmfdw
Insomnium has been a consistent fall back for me in this category.

Folk
[MEDIA=youtube]llA8L8XJy9Y[/MEDIA]
A very different type of metal than most are used too Folk Metal can be bloody epic and Ensferum does

Finntroll is quite an interesting group you have to have a unique taste to really enjoy these guys.
