If anyone even mentions Disturbed, i'm attacking!

A thread for metalheads?

SLAYER!!!

'nuff said.

I think it's great for Pantera this is the best metal song I've heard in 2012. Sad for metal lol.

I'm a big Metal fan and my favorite band is Sepultura.

The fudge?! When, how and why?

Un-used song from Vulgar Display Of Power. Riff made it to a song on Far Beyond Driven Though.

Why did this take this long to be made?!

Anyways, my favorite band is Iced Earth, and I'm into most genres of metal. I usually prefer thrash, speed, and power, though.

Bro, high five for Iced Earth. Respect. Anyway, I'm a Thrash Metal kind of guy myself. I can't pick favorites. I usually hang around As I Lay Dying, Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth, Iron Maiden... The Good stuff.

The classics for me usually, Metallica, Pantera, Slayer, Maiden, Judas Priest, Living Colour, Sabbath, Fear Factory....... I suppose you could consider later stuff like early Korn and Rage against the Machine, System of a Down  Metal
 
I am not really into it all that much, some stuff gets me going though

@Icarusflies: Hey, you mind if I link this into the Rock N' Roll thread, since metal is a sub-genre of Rock?

I wouldn't consider metal a sub-genre of rock, but you can certainly link it!

I approve of this thread!!!!! Metallica ftw!

Any band using drums, a base, and a guitar to pull off any kind of rifts, solos, shreds and other things is Rock in my eyes. Most music devices such as Zune, Itunes, and FrostWire, etc consider it a sub-genre of rock, but hey everyone's got their opinions, and I appreciate it, thanks.

Testament, early Metallica, Pantera, Anthrax, Dio and others. I've fallen behind. Testament's Practice What You Preach was the first album I ever owned. Fight's A Small Deadly Space was the last metal album I owned and for good reason: it paled in comparison to War of Words. 
I recommend Blackfire's One Nation Under. I picked it up from a cousin when my family actually frequented Cupa Days. Exile pretty much sums up the robbed culture, and it may come off as xenophobic and wanting but it's accurate.

Can't say I got a favorite seeing as how I like so many bands...

I like most genres with the main exception of Death Metal.

Sadly, I cannot headbang, but my brother can.

Megadeth,Metallica, Slayer, Iron Maiden , Black sabbath, Disturbed and every metal band..

Anyone listen to any foreign metal? German and Scandinavian metal is FANTASTIC.

YES! Some of the best metal is foreign.

@Icarusflies: YES! Sweden brings the best Metal these days, and cover most every sub-genre Amon Amarth for the super heavy, Opeth for the prog heads, Sabaton is my favorite Power band ever and now they bring us Ghost old school melodic metal with extra helpings of Satan. ( and they put on a helluva show too, saw em about a month ago). All great stuff!!

Everyone who loves Thrash has gotta check out the new Kreator album, a lot of Thrash old-hard's don't quite stay true to the 80's flavor anymore but Kreator brings enough Brutal riffs to pick up their slack! And Death Angel, they still slay too.

Does Lacuna Coil apply?

Never heard of them. :P

@SandMan_: High five for Lacuna Coil!

I quite like aluminium but I'm also partial to a bit of titanium  

I like Sonata Arctica(especially their older stuff) and As I Lay Dying.

SOiL and Dope too, just not as much.

Don't Know If this IS metal but what the heck, Morphin Time!!!!!!!!!!1

I'm into the older stuff.My all time favorite band is the original Black Sabbath lineup.I also like Iron Maiden,Judas Priest and Ozzy's solo stuff.

Metal awakens my soul, which is filled with hate and rage. So, as I get older, I listen less.

I will forever love it though.

Dr. Doom, ladies and gentlemen.

This is awesome. Female fronted Death metal. Pretty rare and damn good for fans of death metal.
