music any metal heads on thp?

I thought Death Magnetic was alright until I heard those rapture trumpets, and thought to myself "really? Another 'Unforgiven?'" That's when I turned it off.
 
I'm a die hard MetallicA fan since 1987. Twenty plus shows at least. and can tell you without a doubt their best album
is Garage Days. funny enuff its not their music. I have no interest in anything after the black album. But still always go to
the local shows
 
I've been working on rebuilding my music collection for about 2 years now.  I still have hundreds of albums on my old computer that I can't get into right now but this is what I'm working with right now.  As you might notice, it's mostly metal

Any recommendations based on that would be appreciated.
 
Amon Amarth and Iced Earth are the only ones of those I listen to, but Megadeath, Black Sabbath, and Metallica are good also. Going to see an Amon Amarth/Sabaton/Skeletonwitch concert in October actually. Ticket was only 27 dollars.

Musicmap.com is your friend. It shows bands closer or farther away than the one you click on, and grouped together ones are closer still. For example, musicmap/Amon Amarth has Hypocrisy right next to it, so people who like Amon Amarth also listen to that. A bit farther out is Alestorm, an absolutely hilarious power metal band about pirates that I think is pretty good. Clicking on them yields Gloryhammer as a close result, which has the same keyboardist and stuff.
 
I'm considering driving down to Charlotte in October for that Amon Amarth tour...that's a hell of a drive from here so I may make it to the beach that week too. I hadn't heard of musicmap but it sounds useful I'm going to have to check it out. If you like Amon Amarth you could possibly like Enslaved, they're more viking/black though. Anything off the Frost album is worth getting a hold of

I like bands that tell a story, and Amon Amarth is on the heavier side of it, Most of it's heavy power metal and lighter heavy metal, then it jumps right up to melodic death.
 
Wes and I declared June 16th National Black Label Society Day this year. Put it in your diaries, June 16th. BLS Day.

There are many I would add, but here is a few.
 
Volbeat, A7X, FFDP, Trivium, Slipknot are the first that come to mind  for the newer bands, but where is Testament in your list of 80-90s bands?
 
Oh and Godsmack. They have a new album soon. New single is just out.

uh
what? Death Magnetic is a lot more like Master/And Justice than the black album was.  The black album was when Bob Rock started ruining them.

You just asked what needed to be added to your list. Those jumped out at me as bands taht shouldn't be missing. :D
 
All I have to say about Metallica is that not everything the did after Justice sucked, but every time they try to rediscover their roots, it is just bad. I can sum it up in two words: St. Anger.

Don't give it the dignity of a mention. The next couple seconds of this song sum it up pretty well.http://youtu.be/AvRZxn7e3hc?t=1m43s Stop at 1:46
 
Eh, Metallica was a groundbreaking band in the eighties but in my opinion there are far better and more interesting thrash bands from the time period.  Personally I like (old) Slayer a whole lot more than I like Metallica.  I don't think I've ever even heard anything from St. Anger, I never even gave it the time of day.  Someone said "no solos, James plays on two strings and Lars sounds like he's banging on trash cans"  that was all I needed to hear. 
 
If you want corny though, I'll show you corny....I present: Ninja Magic!
