You probably like Trollfest, Finntroll, Falconer, Thyrfing, Korpilklaani, Equilibrium. Have you checked out The Meads of Asphodel? Down the symphonic route, I like Bal Sagoth and Carach Angren. I'm also getting into Skyforger at the moment as well.

Napalm Death - Smear Campaign

Equilibrium - Erdentempel

I think lyrics do matter. The experience of listening to, say, My Dying Bride would be lost without the melancholic lyrics. And if you didn't know what Cannibal Corpse or Desecration were singing about, it would take the edge off the music.

Hey great choices! There's a couple in there that I'll have to check out as they are mostly bands I'm into as well! Welcome also!

I know what you mean about jumping around genres at the moment. Folk one week, black the next, then tech death, power etc etc. Welcome!

I've just checked these out. Myrkgrav is very interesting! Just also getting into Arkona at the moment. Ensiferum's got a new one out soon as well!

Hey, not bad. I like the album covers, very folk like! I can't stop listening to Månegarm's Vargstenen at the moment, which is an album that has revived my interest in the folk metal genre.

Akercocke - Choronzon

Welcome Harrack! I too enjoy Rammstein and Powerwolf. Not too keen on Rammstein's latest, and I can't stop listening to Sacrament of Sin. I haven't checked out Lindemann though.

Mithotyn - Gathered Around the Oken Table. Megadeth - Rust In Peace (I'm trying to learn Holy Wars on guitar so listening to the album for the 2 billionth time).

Månegarm - Vargstenen.

Yes their latest is probably one of their best. It's a bit more restrained but still good.

Hey, welcome!

Carach Angren - Lammendam

Nile - Kafir. I was torn between this one and Black Seeds of Vengeance but it had to be a Nile song.

Agreed. The album is better than Feel the Misery, and unmistakenly MDB but there's just that something that doesn't sit quite right and I can't put my finger on it. I'll return to Carach Angren's Laugh and Dance Amongst the Rotten to ponder......

My Dying Bride - The Ghost of Orion. The jury is out at the moment regarding Aaron's vocals.

Hate Forest - Purity

AC/DC - Back in Black.

Welcome!

Napalm Death - Apex Predator: Easy Meat.

My Dying Bride - The Light at the End of the World.

Carcass - Heartwork.

Top for me is Megadeth. They're the most technical of the 4, and the first metal band I got into. Slayer is second. Seasons in the Abyss was a staple for me when I was younger. Metallica third. Early albums were good but after the Black album they just got boring. Anthrax fourth. I have listened to a couple of albums and they really don't have the same impact as the other three bands.
