You already have Rammstein, so I'll go with Nailbomb.
Try some oldies too like Motorhead or Black Sabbath.
And does nobody listen to Metallica anymore?

Old metallica is good stuff imo. Totally forgot about them. Some Megadeth is ok too.

A Perfect Circle
Tool
Opeth
Three fantastic bands. I've seen APC and Opeth live a few times and they were great.

Metal?!?!?
Arch Enemy
As I Lay Dying (recently got into these, really impressed, plenty of catchy double bass beats and chugg chugg riffs
)God Forbid
Another vote for Fear Factory, well, their earlier stuff is the best... the band that got me into metal back in 1996

As with any requests for genres there is going to be discrepancies about how that genre is defined (for example I wouldn't define A Perfect Circle as metal, but there you go). I wouldn't class those bands as metal per se, but they are of a similar vein to some of the bands listed by the OP, and also tend to be liked by people who like the listed bands in my experience.RSH said:Metal?!?!?
Besides what does it matter, they are suggestions, if the OP likes them or not what does it matter if some people don't define them as metal

I suppose so, you can define them metal if you like.
But there not.
Thanks a lot guys. 
I've heard a few songs from bands mentioned here such as "Colony", "I Could Care Less" and "Pull Harder On The String Of Your Martyr". I like them so I'll check out their respective albums. I tend to avoid oldies such as Metallica and Black Sabbath. I can't quite put my finger on why but in general I didn't like what I heard although I do own "The Best Of Motorhead" which is really good. The bands listed in my first post took a few listens to get into unlike the bands listed at the end of this post but it was worth it. I'm looking to expand my collection in this direction as I've pretty much stopped listening to old favourites such as Linkin Park, Fuel and Evanescence.

Lamb of God
This band are superb, the 'New Pantera' in my opinion. Non-stop quality head-banging riffing, ridicuously tight drumming and a vocalist with one of the most unique (and evil) sounding voices in metal!

American Head Charge
As Cities Burn
Avenged Sevenfold (only their latest album City Of Evil though)
Boysetsfire
Bullet For My Valentine
Children Of Bodom
Dead Poetic
It Dies Today
Disturbed
Every Time I Die
Finch
Five Pointe O
Glassjaw
Helmet
Clutch
Ill Nino
In Flames
Machine Head
Mastodon (*drool*)
Mudvayne

Nora
Planes Mistaken For Stars
Poison The Well
Sikth
Slayer
Static-X
Spineshank

)

And before anyone questions my choices I based them on both "metal bands", and the bands he listed (which certainly aren't all metal )
That's about all at the moment, enjoy!
