Listen to Ravenous, by Arch Enemy.

For me, its one of the most hardcore thrash riffs ever!

In Flames In Flames In Flames

Well, almost everything I thought of has already been posted. Apart from Mortician. Mortician ROCK! Otherwise, I can second the choices of Morbid Angel, Amon Amarth, Akercocke and Cannibal Corpse.

Stratovarius and Dragonland at the moment!

but more importantly ... MY BAND!

We are Power Metal, and quite good even if I do say so myself....

Metallica have to be mentioned!
Interestingly enough, I recently found a Radio 1 Drum & Bass set which featured a remix of Enter Sandman

Machine Head - The Blackening

If you haven't already you'd better check that album out! I'm learning the songs on guitar at the moment, so much fun to play!

I also like the usual stuff like Metallica, Trivium, Slayer etc, taking a liking to acoustic stuff recently too! :O

Agreed, great album that.

Well I recently acquired these albums

Whitechapel - This Is Exile (probably the heaviest stuff I will listen to)
Dimmu Borgir - In Sorte Diaboli (very good indeed)
Dimmu Borgir - Death Cult Armageddon ( epic, recorded with an orchestra aswell)

And if anyone here or likes chunky catchy riffs, solos and just sheer awesomenes check out Sylosis, if you don't like them then you don't like Metal

Cynic - Traced In Air, their first album since 93!

Never heard of them before, Saw them supporting Opeth last year and they completely blew me away...I dare say I like them even more than Opeth now.

That's quality

Not exactly new but I've started listening to The Berzerker and Carcass again. Compromise, Corporal Jigsore Quandary and Heartwork being my favourite songs, but the drumming on Reality is pretty good to

CaptainFail! · 27 May 2009 at 19:08

Also have to mention Lamb of God, can't forget about them! good for listening to if you aren't in the best of moods!

Alexrose1uk · 27 May 2009 at 19:09

Powermetal
Edguy - Vain Glory Opera, Mandrake, Hellfire Club
PowerQuest (some cheese there, but some good stuff too)
Dragonforce - Valley of the Damned, Sonic Firestorm
Stratovarius - eerrr...anything haha
Sonata Arctica - Silence, Ecliptica

Melodeath
InFlames - Clayman, Colony, Jester Race/Black Ash Inheritance
Soilwork - Figure Number Five

Classic

Really loving Mehuggahs Obzen album atm.

CaptainFail! · 27 May 2009 at 19:10

Oh right, i'll definately be looking out for that then!

I'm sure i read somewhere that Dino had gone back to Fear Factory, then again it was from YouTube video comments so i doubt it's true!

I got some really strange looks when i was out driving with this album on, bunch of chavs in a taxi staring at me while i was sat at the lights!

Docaroo · 27 May 2009 at 19:12

CaptainFail! · 27 May 2009 at 19:18

I'd also recommend Threat Signal - Under Reprisal

pretty good album overall, highlight for me is the song "Counterbalance" - some beautiful guitar work!
