Metal & Rock Music Recommendations

Start with Killers, Piece Of Mind, Powerslave, Somwhere In Time in that order.

These are Maiden's 4 best IMO.

Nuraber of the Beast has some of their most popular stuff but quality wise it isn't in their top 5.
 
I'm actually really familiar with the album, and yeah it is great, but I'd kinda' forgot about it, because I lost it in a hard drive crash a few months ago. I'll definitely check out Baroness
 
I am a huge fan of Strapping Young Lad primarily The New Black. It is a lot heavier than anything off of Addicted though. You should give it a try anyways.
 
Hammock`s advice is pretty good but my favourite two by them are "Twilight in Olympus" and "V:The New Mythology Suite" A couple of great albums and well recommended. Remeraber, Symphony X are heavily symphonically influenced, so if you don`t like Symphonic metal you may not like them.
 
Since you’re a Maiden fan you might like some older stuff such as Fates Warning’s “Awaken the Guardian” and “The Spectre Within”, Satan’s “Court In the Act”, Helloween’s “Keeper Of the Seven Keys” albums and Queensryche’s earlier material.
Mercyful Fate and King Diamond’s “solo” work as well though the high pitched falsetto vocals are a hit or miss for most people. I think he’s one of the all time best.
For newer stuff maybe Iced Earth, they have an awful lot of Maiden influence.

And for something totally random try checking out Viking metal-era Bathory albums, “Hammerheart”, “Twilight of the GoRAB”, “Blood On Ice” and Nordland 1 and 2.
Look up epic in the dictionary and you should see Quorthon’s name. ;)
 
I have a few requests, so if you can help on any of these, please do! :D

1.Maybe anyone knows something close to Saturnus (my favourite songs are Starres, The Fall of Nakkiel, Noir, but absolute favourite is For Your Demons). I am DESPERATE to find soemthing close to that.

2. Similar artists to Red Sparowes, God is an Astronaut

3. Something close to Agalloch "The White" Ep.

Thanks!
