wrote last edited by [email protected]I'm unable to pick a single one, as it shifts very often. So I opened my main Playlist to find something, so today I'll give you three very different suggestions:
In Flames - Only For the Weak.
Dimmu Borgir - Kings of the Carnival Creation.
Destiny Potato - Addict.Ask me tomorrow and you'll get different answers

Probably Malfire by Refused, I found them through their samurai covers for cyberpunk 2077 and I've loved their music since

Not really a metal guy. I like beautiful music. I remember asking people why people who play metal don't play beautiful music. And I got no good answers. No one introduced me to Iron Maiden, who would have fit the bill. As someone who does not like metal, I can listen to every minute of "Brave New World" (2000) and enjoy the whole thing. I also like Number of the Beast and Powerslave from the 1980s, and the one that released between them.
The metal band I really love is Nightwish. They're from Finland, but I think they only have one song in Finnish? The opening to Imaginaerum. Over the Hills and Far Away is not only a cover, but it's about The Count of Monte Cristo... sort of. It's not exactly the same, but it's basically the same energy. Love triangle sends an innocent man to prison. Except in the book (and many films) the girl was his and it was the jealous lover who set him up. In this song, he messed with his best friend's wife and that's why he set him up.
And if you wanna hear how they sound live — the true indicator of what a band can do — here's Wishmaster from their final tour, I think, before they changed singers for the first time. Their composer/keyboard player is a bit of a drama queen, much like Eddie Van Halen was, and similarly, his personality would clash with diva singers over who "leads" the band. Neither of them can keep a singer. Not taking a side — incredible talent all around. Just band drama keeps them from having a consistent lineup. It happens to the best of them (see: Fleetwood Mac). So you enjoy what you can as it comes. But sadly they basically suck now. Their second singer was good too, but their third singer either isn't working for them or they're out of ideas, because their last few albums have been duds.
The entirety of their Imaginaerum album is good, but it's a bit weird. It was always meant as a companion piece for their movie, which never saw distribution in the US. So you have to watch it online. I won't help you do that, but if you're savvy, you can find it. Or maybe you're in Europe and you can just pick it up. I think you absolutely should if you can. For a while it was on YouTube (unofficially but in HD), not sure if it still is or not. Worth looking for, and it's just under an hour and a half. Much like Pink Floyd's The Wall, it's about how a musician has been driven crazy. Here, his adult daughter tries to reconcile with him before his death. Watch the movie trailer here

The Hammer - Kublai Khan TX
Contraband - Make Them Suffer

Looking Down The Barrel of Today - Hatebreed
Bullet With A Name - Nonpoint
WAKE UP - The Browning (whole album is good, intro is a fucking headbanger)
Where The Things Have No Color - Destrage
The Orphan - Paleface Swiss
I have to go do stuff, but that should get you started.

Not much of a metal head, but the whole Nonagon Infinity album by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is great. Also their album PetroDragonic Apocalypse.
What got me even slightly into metal, and stays mainstays on my playlists, are the albums Black Hole Space Wizard Parts 1 and 2 by Howling Giant. Cannot reccomend those enough. Also, their album The Space Between Worlds is great too, but isn't like one long story.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I see a lot of the bangers I would also put on my personal Mount Rushmore but I’m shocked not to see any Meshuggah on here. Bleed is an absolute face melter. Dirge for November by Opeth is also up there for me. I put that song on whenever I’m really down and oddly enough it helps me feel a bit better despite it being a song about killing yourself in a bathtub.
Oh and Parpaing by Igorrr is another song that goes hard as fuck. I can hit lifting PRs with that on. Honestly anything Corpsegrinder is belting out I’m here for. He just did a feature with Shadow of Intent that is similarly brutal.

Tornado of souls for me
Five Magics for me

If you like beautiful music, you need to give Opeth a spin. 'The Drapery Falls' is my favourite song to introduce Opeth with. Stunningly beautiful and shows the full range of their craft. https://youtu.be/YeTNkPXRrVY

Black Sabbath, by Black Sabbath, from the album Black Sabbath.

I also really like Sanctuary by Elder for something modern-ish and proggy, Sweet Tooth by Intervals for something happy, or The Cromlech Gate by Enslaved for something extra heavy.

Arbitrary choice, but Wherever I May Roam by Metallica never gets old for me.
