My tastes tend to venture towards Industrial, Rock and of course Metal.
Apocalyptica (<3), Rammstein, Psyclon Nine (<3), Disturbed, Nine Inch Nails, System of a Down, Slayer, Cradle of Filth, Korn, Lacuna Coil, Avenged Sevenfold, Atreyu, Black Sabbath, Metallica, My Dying Bride, Nightwish, Dir En Grey, DragonForce, Pantera, Death, Kittie (sometimes), Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Tool… to name some of whatever I listen to. It's a short list :P

Time to practice some necromancy and raise this thread from Hel. Make it so.
Being bored with my collection I set myself on a path to find something new and interesting that I could enjoy. Naturally, my very first thing to tap into was the Finnish metal scene and in there I found this gem of a band called Turmion Kätilöt. As I haven't seen them mentioned here I shall go ahead and recommend them. It's a pretty crude band but I enjoy them on more than one level.
All of their songs that I've heard are in Finnish so if you can't get over that you probably won't enjoy it much... but as Finnish is demonically awesome I suggest you learn to fucking like it. The lead vocalist also growls but as he actually pronounces his stuff I rather like it. My personal favorite lyrically and vocally would by far be Irstauden Ilosanoma. Much thanks to the totally awesome metal chick and the fucking amazing lyrics not to mention that heavenly chanting. I do appreciate dire contrasts.

Someone other then me that knows of this band. can't believe it. Ever since i heard them this have been on of my favorite bands. Unfortunately it's pretty hard to find anything on DC++ and other places. Specially in original releases. So far i think Seinä is still my favorite song. And by the way, their lyrics are crazy. This is practically the Finnish version of Rammstein (only better IMO). They have released 2 albums (that i know if at least) so far. Their first is named "Hoitovirhe". Their second album is named "Pirun Nyrkki". If you ask me which one is best i would have a hard time answering that since i think both are pretty much equal. But if you want one to start out with i would go with "Hoitovirhe" because that's the one that got me into this band. Specially songs like "Teurastaja" (first one i heard which got me to download their album in the first place), "Seinä" and "Paha Ihminen".
So if you like Finnish metal, specially industrial metal, or love Rammstein and would love the idea of a harder, faster, Finnish version and like Nai said, have no problem with every song text being in Finnish this is the band for you. And if you are Finnish or have a friend that can translate some of text you will have a nice laugh about it too.

Wow Judas Priest are really really good. I've underestimated them. Rob Halford kicks ass, easily the best voice in metal. Favourite tracks so far are: hell bent for leather, painkiller, turbo lover and beyond the realms of death is pure awesome.
@Azazel: Have you listened anything to The Sword? They also have a new album in the works.
Drum intro for Painkiller is just legendary.
For metal I've recently entered the epic realms again what's with the 2007 albums of Ensiferum (Victory Songs) and Turisas (The Varangian Way). I'd easily recommend these albums to the metalheads among us who appreaciate folk/epic music.
I approve of those two albums.
P.S It's nice to have you back Terra
Glad to hear you like 'em!
Thanks dude, nice to be back.
Would've posted this as an edit in the "What are you listening to right now ?" thread in response to the heretic azazel's post, but since the post turned into a sort of review, it's probably more appropriate for this kick ass and far too ignored thread.
Just heard the two leaked opeth songs. Both of them are fucking amazing. I mean it, FUCKING AMAZING! I keep reading things about the Porcelain Heart being relatively weak because it's not a pure headbanger song, but there are other things that Opeth is about, and sadness is one of those things. This is possibly the song where Akerfeldt is being the more honest and unmasked about his grief than any other song, and you hear it not only through the lyrics, but sonically through the music. What I'm mentioning isn't unique to Opeth, but they do it so damned well. The Lotus Eater...you'll just have to listen to that. Growls, clean/melodic and POWERFUL vocals over the most brutal riffs you'll ever hear, complex and wonderfully arranged, and even a dream theater sounding little diddy around the six minute mark.
For anyone who isn't turned off by progressive and death metal, and who really knows how to listen, these songs will prove to be stunning. If the past is any indication of what a future Opeth album will sound like, I think we can expect this new album to be one of their best recordings yet.
Also check out Opeth's Mikael Akerfeldt laying vocals on Bloodbath's new album Unblessing the Purity.
Bloodbath fucking rule.

Anyone listen to As I Lay Dyings "An Ocean Between Us" I Just have to say that the song "Forsaken" is pretty bad ass.
Edit: Ahhaaha Bloodbath is like my top 5.

And the rules of the game are what you can do to him and what you can stop him from doing to you. I am your enemy from now on. From now on, I am your teacher."

Holy shit, thanks alot for introducing me to Opeth guys. They're fucking awesome, I haven't been this exited about finding a new band to thoroughly listen to since discovering Dream Theater about a year ago. Ghost Reveries Rules.

id have to say right off the bat...
power metal : 3 inches of blood first album
iron maiden, killswitchengage and to many other heavy metal bands to describe..but 3 inches of blood. maybe throwdowns in there somewere.
The album before, Shadows Are Security, is a wee bit better. The self titled song of their latest album is the best though..Originally Posted by Paulyboy
So sad that they replaced the clean vocalist/bassist with someone who is even more crappier. Live wise.
Actually, As I Lay Dying is really that good live....
But hey, metal band? Norma Jean's older stuff, anyne?
Type "Norma Jean - Memphis Will Be Lade To Waste" : )!
little soul your dreams are waitin'
crapping up...
hold them closely
never let go, never let go... <3
Glad you enjoyed it. And, since Opeth is new to you, you should know that they have a rather large catalogue for you to wet your pants to xD. I remember when I had just found out about Opeth (and Dream Theater for that matter)...those were the days..
Checking them out right now.
Bloodbaths usual lead singer is Peter Tagtgren of Hypocrisy. One of my top 3 death metal bands ever. I'd recommend the song Roswell 47. I never tire of government conspiracies involving aliens as subject matter for songs.
I am delighted this thread is active again.

Dude metal is still alive, remember that!!! anyways I just listened of 3 inches of blood's new album "fire up the blades". So far forest king is my favorite. LISTEN TO IT NOW!

Possibly not a popular notion in this thread, but I'm currently listening to the new (leaked) Slipknot album, "All Hope Is Gone". I'm liking it so far, especially the first single "Psychosocial" which is fantastic.
They seem to be somewhat influenced by Stonesour this time around, which is understandable I guess considering Corey spends a lot of time on that side of the fence these days.
I think I know precisely what I mean
when I say it's a schpadoinkle day
