Man, I used to love "MCMXC AD", haven't listened to Enigma in such a long time. I wonder if I still have the CD somewhere.

I have two,
Folklore and Superstition from Black Stone Cherry
And
Le Roi Est Viva Le Roi from Enigma. 
I can listen to these over and over again. 

Hands down "Live After Death". Excellent audio and the camera work was great. Back in the day, Stryper's "Live in Japan" was really well shot.

Speaking just in terms of live shows, it's fine with me as long as they can pull it off. Own it. Convince me. Rammstein does a good job. I've seen a few bands with more understated theatrics that work well. There's a fine line though - I've seen a few bands (local and touring) that would have been much better just wearing jeans and t-shirts and playing their instruments, the schtick felt insincere.

Dark Roots of Earth - Testament

Dark Roots of Earth - Testament

Nice to see some reassurance. Glad I joined this forum.?
As for my preferences, I'm into heavy metal and thrash with some classic rock and death metal (sometimes).
Currently my favorite bands are
Slayer
Earlier Metallica (thanks to my father)
Epheles
Cannibal Corpse (sometimes)
 
Sorry for such a short list.

Hi welcome, hope you enjoy it here.
Based on your list in terms of thrash I would suggest going for some Exodus (debut album especially), Overkill, Testament, Death Angel, Megadeth and Vio-lence.

Man, oh man where do I start. 
St. Anger - Metallica
Poorly written, poorly recorded and has a terrible mix and sound. Considering that the band feels this took them back to their roots, I think they missed the mark - by a mile. 
Criptic Writings and Risk - Megadeth
Simply not Megadeth caliber albums. To "smooth" and "poppy". Not their best. 
X Factor - Iron Maiden
I grade this one on a curve due to it being Blaze's first album with band, but they still had the same writers. Don't know if Harris was trying to not sound like a Bruce led Maiden, but that is what was accomplished with this album. It's good, but not IM good. Virtual IX brought back some of the Maiden sound and feel, but still not the same. 
Path of Totality - Korn
I know a lot of people didn't like this album. It's not that I don't like it, there  are some really good songs on here, but it is definitely my least favorite of their discography. I feel the band lost a little of their sound and musical identity when Brian left, but there is some good stuff in there on the four albums without him. 
I believe they found themselves again in "Serenity of Suffering" and just reinforced it with "The Nothing"  the latter being probably one of their heaviest albums. 
Undisputed Attitude - Slayer
Simply put, this is an album Slayer didn't need to do...........

Welcome to the forum. Nothing to be ashamed of being a metal head. I personally listen to all genres of music but hard rock/heavy metal being my main listening pleasure. As far as suggesting bands, what kind of metal do you prefer? Thrash, death, black, speed etc. I myself am not big into the real heavy hardcore stuff like "Job for a Cowboy" and the likes. My catalog ranges from Slayer to Korn and most everything in-between. My faves are -
Slayer
Iron Maiden 
Black Sabbath
Korn
Megadeth
Metallica - before the attitudes 
Anthrax
Judas Priest 
Plus a ton of the 80's stuff Crue, Poison etc........
Rock out and lift the horns high and proudly ?

Completely understand. I still dig it out occasionally but it is not in the Slayer rotation. Slayer is always a good listen............?

With you on most of your list but this is actually one of my favourite modern-Slayer releases (well in fact the only one I like after Seasons in the Abyss).  I can see how it isn't for everyone but I love its punky attitude and slight variance from what we had come to expect from the band at this point.  By no means their best but still a good record to me.

Paul Di'anno was the original vocalist and recorded the the first two albums before being removed and replaced by Bruce. 

Yep, several.

When I first heard Testament it was during the New Order era. Loved that album and its successor Souls of Black. When Practice What you preach came out, I was underwhelmed. It now, however is in my top three from them.
Low was a similar reaction. I thought that it was such a different sound from them and nothing like their previous album, The Ritual. It has grown on me and now I have several songs that I listen to in a regular basis.

Another one was Maiden's Seventh Son album. After being exposed to them via the Somewhere in Time album, SS was a strange composition to me. Not just the concept part but the writing arrangement etc. After leaving it alone for quite some time, I revisited it and really enjoy that album now.

Slayer's Devine Intervention was in the same boat. Once you get past the ridiculous first track Killing Feilds, the rest of the album is really good.

Are you specifically looking for offensive metal bands, or bands of any genre.  If you want to find some really offensive/disturbing material then you should look into power electronics (Xenophobic Ejaculation, Bizarre Uproar, Sutcliffe Jugend, anything released by Filth and Violence, etc.).
As for metal, it is pretty hard to find a band with a name more absurd/offensive than Goatpenis.  I like their music, despite the name not being to my taste... (though I find it perfectly fitting to their music). 
On the other hand, you have bands like Auschwitz Symphony Orchestra, whose names are offensive on a moral level.  These are probably the most offensive bands of all, because by selecting names like that they are doing something that is repulsive on a level far beyond the mere use of taboo words.

'Rage For Order' - Queensryche

“Dark Roots Of Earth” - Testament

“Among The Living“ - Anthrax

“In The Hall Of The Mountain King” - Savatage

The Book of Souls is one of my favorite Maiden albums. Been a fan since I saw the video for "Stranger in a Strange Land" way back when. "Somewhere in Time" was the third Metal Album I ever bought so it kinda has a special place. I too was stoked at the announcement of Bruce and Adrian com8ng back and actually enjoyed "Brave New World". "Ghost of the Navigator" is one of my favorite modern era Maiden songs.
I finally got to see them on the BOS tour (both Oklahoma stops) which was a long time coming. Bruce still sounds amazing live and those guys can still put on a show.
I agree that the post Blaze era albums are not as good as the 70's and 80's albums but like it was said earlier, BOS was in the right direction. I really like all of the songs, but unlike others, Empire is my least favorite. "Tears of a Clown" tops my list with "Death or Glory" right behind it.
My all time favorite album will always be "Powerslave"
