ok, i think this is a good idea.
do you have really good bands and just want to share them with others?
great! post em here! please give a description and sample song to go with the bands so that we can know about them

and we can talk about bands that a good, bad, mediocre, or whatever! also, we can ask other their opinions of certain bands and songs.

i myself will come constantly to share ma favorite metal bands and to ask others opinions on them.

to start things off...

i need help finding a favorite song from bands that i really like (mainly thrash, power and heavy metal) ill just ask for one right now. will anyone who knows them please suggest some of their favorite Blind Guardian songs?

a fine day to die
Bathory [black/viking] Sweden
Blood Fire Death (1988)
http://i51.tinypic.com/28vwy78.jpg

The elder among the men looked deep into
the fire and spoke loud with pride
tomorrow is a fine day to die

Now the morning advance from far east
now the sun breaks through dustclouds and haze
now a forest of spears appears on the hill
and steel shines bright in the suns first rays
Die
die
die
die


jewel throne
Celtic Frost [thrash/death/black] Switzerland
To Mega Therion (1985)

Once prayed to my gods, searching for the whistled memories
Empty eyes are staring now, to my feet a land of sorrow
I'm the king, sitting in the dark hiding from the shadows of the wind
Wafts of might, wine of fire, I was called to taste

You think you're so secure
Protected from above
Gaze into the hell fire
I know you'll fall in love
They'll hunt you down at night
Your flesh is what they want
Your eyes will scream for sight
When evil comes to haunt

Cursed by nightmares
When you sleep
They'll cut your throat
And blood will seep

See things that are not there
Intruding voices
What went wrong to their picture perfect life
They once knew - Flattening of emotions

Death,
a truly underrated band (for the most part)
not to mention that u have a good chance of being hated on for likeing them.

Excalion - Arriving As The Dark
this song came up on my Pandora radio station a while back. it is a truly outrageous song. was great harmonies, the drums are more of a backing beat used to push the song as apposed to drive the song. the solo will destroy your face forever. thats just what i think at least =)

You guys may have heard of Killswitch Engage. I recently started listening to them because some of their songs showed up on my Trivium Pandora Station, and I downloaded one of their albums, and I love them now. They're very melodic, moreso than In Flames, and their vocals sound great whether they're clean or screaming. I recommend them to anyone who likes metal.

Agent Orange (1989)
http://i51.tinypic.com/2relem0.jpg


All the marks erased long ago
Scars are healed up
Cancer creeps into their innocent souls
Memorials of flesh and blood
Have survived unlawfully punished
Poisoned till the end of their lives
Physical deformity
What medicine will help?
Still births will rise

Agent Orange
Agent Orange
Agent Orange
A fire that doesn't burn



Kreator [thrash] Germany
Coma of Souls (1990)
http://i56.tinypic.com/qsm8o8.jpg

masters of war
merchants of false peace
bleeding the lives of the lost
feeding the terminal disease
breaking the rules

no matter who gets hurt
wholesaling useless trash
charging twice what it's worth

freedom of thought a mirage
the coma is endless and deep
feeling so wordly and wise
fooled by the friends that we keep

spirits on ice
they'll never be free

one dimensional lives
will the coma of souls outlife eternity

Not really underrated, was an influential band (one of the first true Death metal bands) and Chuck Schuldiner is like the father of Death Metall (R.I.P.)

Why does somebody gonna hate you cause u like Death? o.O

If you guys like Blind Guardian, try Darkwater. Listen to Where Stories End, great album.
Also, if you want to try something different, listen to Alestorm. One of the more unheard of genres (Pirate Metal), they're actually quite good.

Just out of school dont have a clue
No income support for you
Cant get a job dont get a chance

Beat the *******s, beat them now

I'm not crazy - institutionalized
You're the one that's crazy - institutionalized
You're driving me crazy - institutionalized
They stuck me in an institution, said it was the only solution
To give me the needed professional help to protect me from the enemy, myself.

I think Annotations of an Autopsy was deathcore but not sure about their last stuff (maybe death) and Alestorm is folk/power

Dark in what sense?

Good bands:
Iron maiden
turisas-folk metal battle metal, land of hope and glories, to holmgard and beyond...
haggard-strange kind of music the final victory, per aspera and astra
rammstein ich will (watch also the pooh version)

Crawl on your knees, asking "why did you leave?"
As I introduce you to the new piece
Cheated in ways beyond bad taste
Your soul was but a toy in my tease
Breaking young hearts across the land
As I wake up in a different place
You do it for me, it's easy to see
Your pitied, lonely looks in my face

Hopeless...demon of another day
Colorless...stoned, solid grey
Emptiness...of promises I made
So faithless...the tenants long betrayed
Walk the faded line, cursed crawl of time
