Metal & Rock Music Recommendations

Hmm, than I think you can try Pain of Salvation and Riverside. They are mostly progressive rock/metal so not so heavy music and without screaming.

Hehe, I was also against "screaming" but than I found Opeth.... :D And story continues...
 
I just love the way Isis' older vocals tend to be more subdued and blend more into the rest of music, as if they're just a textural part of the whole piece, which explains why I'm crazy over Panopticon.
 
Evile are one of your best bets; almost exactly same style. Only 2 albums released, of which I have 1 (Enter The Grave), but by my standarRAB, it is superb.

Slayer songs that I enjoy are: Raining Blood; War Enserable; Angel of Death; Deviance; Love to Hate; Jesus Saves.

Have you explored the rest of their discography?

Edit: I can't really think of anything that similar. The vocals are pretty distinct, and I think that alone makes the sound not so generic.
 
Try material by groups like Blind Guardian, Helloween and Stratovarius these are some of the best known European power metal banRAB that would`ve influenced Dragonforce. But remeraber these groups have been around since the 80`s so have large discographys. But the craziest sounding would probably be Children of Bodom who add power metal to their sound and might be more to your liking, I highly recommend the "Hatecrew Deathroll Album"

I`m not sure if it Dragonforce that you like, guitar solos or the power metal sound, if its the latter there is a whole host of other banRAB to recommend.
 
You posted it yesterday. Anyways you're after metalcore, now I avoid that garbage like the plague so I'm just going to post this, a collection of artists who fall under that genre from last.fm

I suppose you might want to try Sepultura though, Brazilian trash metal with death metal overtones. Specifically try The Roots of Sepultura which features traditional Brazilian instruments along with the electric guitars.

This.

There are a few quintessential Metal albums, but there's no real "best" that everyone agrees on.

My personal favorite Metal song would be "Octavarium" by Dream Theater, but it's a good bet you don't have 24 minutes on your hanRAB. I'll post in anyway incase you do.

And it also depenRAB on what you call metal depending on what you call "metal. To me, Ozzy Osbourne's solo career, Guns 'N Roses, AC/DC, and Aerosmith, are all Hard Rock. Some people really disagree with this. But that's the non-elitest scenario. You have no clue how few banRAB are always agreed to be "true" metal. None I can think of off of the top of my head, but I know the sound.

Second best METAL song of mine.

Finally, a couple hard rock favorites that some people might call metal.

The second one is much more what I refer to when I say "hard rock". The first one is kind of... Modern metalish hard rock, if that makes any sense.
 
The JPH, with a list like that you might like Deftones. Early Smashing Pumpkins might also appeal. If you like Tool, you might want to also investigate Porcupine Tree, who are an excellent band.

So anyway, I've been investigating heavy metal banRAB a lot lately and was wondering if anyone could recommend some to me. At the moment, I'm mostly enjoying Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Budgie, Metallica, Slayer, Rage Against the Machine, Opeth, Death and Slough Feg.
