Hello Metal Thread, I'm looking for some recommendations.

If you're not a fan of the high pitched vocals, then there is plenty of other genres you would probably enjoy. Do you like any of these? Seems you'd be at home with death and black metal.

Other stuff I forgot to mention that I like:
Old Iron Maiden
Old Judas Priest
Old Dio
Death Angel (totally can't believe I forgot them!)
Skeletonwitch (I like them despite the growly vocals, so maybe there is hope for me)
Overkill
Testament
Venom
High on Fire

Thanks again for all the friendly recommendations!


Since you can handle some of the growly vocals, I don't think I've seen these couple essentials mentioned: Old In Flames, At the Gates, Dark Tranquillity, Death.

And since you said you enjoyed Dio, Maiden, and Priest, I can recommend these: Old Iced Earth, Jag Panzer, Demons and Wizards, Nevermore.

And maybe some faster stuff like Wintersun, Amon Amarth, and Ensiferum.

who? my modern black metal knowledge is mediocre to poor, I was a big fan in the late 90s and early 00s but its not my thing these days

also I choose to just ignore the new Opeth and still enjoy the old stuff, hopefully the new album will be alright

Man, that new Opeth song just is not compelling. I think the worst part about is that Akerfeldt's clean singing isn't good enough to drive a whole song. I remember seeing them live for their Damnation tour with Porcupine Tree (it's a bad sign when Steven Wilson blows your set out of the water) and during a break Martin Lopez started playing the ending section from Deliverance on drums and the crowd went nuts. Akerfeldt looked so mad.

drat, this is pretty disappointing. It doesn't really get remotely interesting until the song is almost over and even then its pretty blah. I didn't really have much hope for this new album, but I guess I'll just ignore it like a few of the latest ones. They'll always be one of my favorite groups, I've seen them live 5 times and they never disappoint.

Nashville is real bad for metal, which I agree is a shame. It was awesome seeing Maiden last year though, so maybe things will get better with the citys growing popularity.

A bar meetup before or after the show, or another date around the gig would be a cool idea.

My first experience with heavy music was sitting in my best friends bedroom in 1991 when I was 8 years old and him putting on a Green Jelly album and I was like holy poo poo, this is great. I took my mother to buy one of their albums and remember her looking at me incredulously as she read off such song titles as "Shitman" and "Whip Me Teenage Babe".

Before that I listened to bullshit like vanilla ice, mc hammer, and NKOTB. Soon after I was on a trip back from seeing my grandparents in Knoxville with my mom again and I made her stop at a Kat's music store and I bought my first proper metal cassette tape with some Christmas money, Master of Puppets and I'll always remember it because the intro to Battery came on in the car and my mom was like "oh this is nice" and turned it WAY THE gently caress UP and then her face turned to :stare: pretty quickly. It still gives me a laugh to this day.

I listened to Metallica pretty exclusively through the mid 90s, saw them at my first concert at 13 with my dad sitting next to me arms folded and earplugs in the whole time until I got into Maiden, Priest, and Megadeth. Opeth broadened my horizons into extreme metal in the late 90s along with In Flames, Slayer, and Children of Bodom.
