I'll just add a little bit of Stoner/Doom rock metal from COC. This came up on my ipod playlist this afternoon for the first time in a long time.

COC was great. Saw them open for Megadeth in Oslo after they released Deliverance.
To date one of the best shows I've seen. :)

I saw them once on tour for America's Volume Dealer. Kick ass show with a ton of energy. Kind of an acquired taste as a band, but still one of my all time favorites.
 
I'm a fan of classic metal. So, for me, the template that all modern metal should NEVER forget is Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. Early Ozzie, RJ Dio, Priest and Maiden have great vocals. If the band doesn't have high quality, distinctive vocals, I'm not interested. I was willing to listen through some of the cookie monster vocals of early Pantera because many of the riffs were killer...But, I'm long over the cookie monster as a metal singer.

You will *probably* enjoy bands like

Circle II Circle


Kamelot


Amorphis


Threshold


Symphony X


Vanden Plas

Ah luvs muh C.O.C. I've been listening to them since 1990.

I heard about Mad Capsule Markets when I first came to Japan. They probably lean more toward the industrial side of things.

You bet! Tommy Victor's lead/rhythmn style is the bomb! Such crushing tone from a Marshall 8000 Series Valvestate! I've had the "Cleansing" album ever since it came out! IMO, it's the best Prong album.

:thu: I bought that album after the college radio station played "snap your fingers..." at 3AM (I used to sleep with the radio on).
I also had Rude Awakening, which took a while to get used to, but I actually grew to like that even more than Cleansing.
 
I also have "Beg to Differ" and "Rude Awakening" on casette (I don't even know if they're playable anymore - the "Beg To Differ" casette is like 20 year's old). Of the three, "Cleansing" is still my favorite. It's the only one I have on CD.
 
power metal time! :embarrassed:

These guys should be considered a supergroup....members (or ex-members) of Sonata Arctica, Stratovarius, Norther, & Wintersun

if you like brilliant contemplative proggy doom without cookie monster vocals, you can't go wrong with sadly disbanded In The Woods...

Perhaps the most promising of the newer Norwegian bands - Audrey Horne.
Really dig their mix of metal with some more poppier stuff.

Originally started out as a side project for Enslaved guitarist Ice Dale. One could say it took off a bit.
They've been getting both a lot of radio play and decent chart success lately here. :)

Never expected to see that band mentioned around here. Even by a man of taste such as yourself. I listen to that album all the time:rawk:
