Who's your fav Death/Black Metal band or just Metal band?

I just wonderd who's fav Death/Black metal bands are!

mine would have to be

Black Metal - Cradle of Filth
Death Metal - Job For a Cowboy
Metal - Killswitch Engage or In Flames


Tell me what you all like?

Death/Melodic metal: Scar Symmetry/In Flames
Black Metal: Tough one, either CoF or Dimmu Borgir
Metal/Core: Killswitch Engage

Hard to narrow it down, so heres a top 5 for each:

Death Metal : Entombed (the old stuff only)
dismember
bolt thrower
Napalm Death
carcass

Black Metal: Immortal
Emperor
Darkthrone
Mayhem
Borknagar

Metal : Black sabbath
Iron Maiden
Slayer
Judas priest
Megadeth (first four albums only)

Except for a few exceptions, I have never really "taken" to death or black metal. Of course I am in my fifties (yeah, I'm an old fart) so that might be the reason but I do love metal.

I have many favorite metal bands; Iron Maiden, Black Label Society (with Zack Wylde), Ozzy, Black Sabbath etc. But, if I had to pick just one metal band, that would have to be Judas Priest with Rob Halford. As far as I am concerned, Rob Halford is the epitome of metal vocalists. While their are certainly better guitar players in the metal genre, the sound that the "double axe attack" of K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton create are what I love about metal. Yep, no doubt, for me Judas Priest rules the metal genre.

hahaha hell yeah
judas priest do indeed rule!

The one and only Judas Priest!!!!!

So glad that Rob's back. Angel of Retribution is soooo freakin' good.


Would add Sabbath, Maiden, BOC, Anthrax, and a long list of others.

Death metal: Broken Hope

Black metal:Bethlehem

Metal:Exodus i liked "Fabulous Disaster" album Rick and Gary effing rocked on that album and I like Steve Souza's vocals.

Drunk, great choice. Toxic Waltz, Cajun Hell, and the best ever Verbal Razors.

Btw, all this talk about priest has me remembering the early years.
I took my wife to her first Priest concert last year on the Angel tour and was remembering my first Priest concert on the Screaming for Vengance tour... lol.

Ahh, the good old days of metal.

I have never gotten into metal. I have always respected it highly, but I never really was compelled to listen to it. However lately I have found that I really enjoy Pantera. The guitar riffs and Phil Anselmos voice just seems to speak to me.

I never got into death or black metal. I don't really care for the "cookie monster" vocals a lot of singers do in those styles. You know, low and grumbly like they are trying to sound like a demon.

Iron Maiden hands down, I dont listen to black/death metal

I'm suprised that I have not seen Lamb of God posted in this thread yet!

I don't really know what to clissify them as, but Lamb of God gets my vote

Its a real tough one to choose favorites, as I love metal in all its forms.

A Few favorites for the darker metal:

Type O Negative
Cannibal Corpse
Deicide
Slayer
Morbid Angel
Napalm Death

For the More Classic Metal Light:

Judas Priest
Iron Maiden
Black Sabbath
Ozzy
Def Leopard
AC/DC
Motorhead
Dio
Twisted Sister

For Classic Metal Heavy:

Old Metallica (Black Album and Before, but especially Master of Puppets and before)
Megadeth
Anthrax
W.A.S.P.
S.O.D.
M.O.D.
Exodus

For general Metal:
Alice in Chains
Pantera
White Zombie
Filter
Tool

This list is by no means definitive.

METAL UP YOUR A**!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
