Hola! I'm not exactly a newbie, since I frequent PA a ton, but I figured that I'd join this site too. I don't listen to that much metal except for various incarnations of prog metal and some metalcore. My favorite metal bands/albums would have to be Rush (though they aren't metal, I see they're listed here), Devin Townsend (He ROX), Dream Theater (though I only own two albums), A Skylit Drive (who aren't here if I saw correctly, they're metalcore), maudlin of the Well, Opeth, and various post metal albums.

I would love some other metal suggestions, since I am largely ignorant to straight metal.

...oh man where to start witht the suggestionsBig smile. If you�re new to the more traditional part of metal I�d recommend starting with the classics like Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Rainbow, Deep Purple, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. Just to get a good idea of how metal began. But if you want genre specific recommendations or "sounds like this band" suggestions, ask away and you�ll be buried in suggestions from our always helpful forum members. I�m sure of that.Tongue
 
...and welcome to MMA. We�re happy to see a new face on the forumSmile.

Hm... Three metal genres I'd like to look more into. Classic heavy metal, death metal, and post metal/sludge. I have ecailles de lune of Alcest of post metal. I know Opeth, but no other death metal bands.

Any good album suggestions for those genres? Being a prog fan primarily makes me LOVE the album format! Tongue

russian circles 
Subrosa 
agaloch 

DEATH BANDS (yeah its alphabetical)

death (classic death metal)
asesino(death-grind, but one of my favorite bands)
Behemoth (one of the best blackened death bands IMO)
Bloodbath (pretty standard death)
Cannibal corpse (THE death metal standard)
Dying Fetus (a tech death standard)
The faceless (a very nice clean tech-death band)
Fuck ... I'm dead (death grind, but one of my favorite bands)
Immolation (a MUST)
Meshuggah (listen)
Necrophagist (Great tech-death)
Nile (more AMAZING tech death)
Obituary (classic)
Psycroptic (another tech death band, worth a listen IMO)
Skinless (a really brutal death metal band Smile)
Viraemia(seriously the fastest band i have ever heard, must listen)

I'll take a look at those! I already own Enter by Russian Circles, which is awesome, and I have listened to Cloudkicker and Agalloch, both of which are pretty good. Meshuggah... I've listened to part of Chaosphere... Maybe not my thing. I look forward to having my mind squished by the epic listening to come though!

Welcome

Skwid, where the fuck is your Bolt Thrower recommendation?  MoodyRush, if you want the best of the best of death metal, Bolt Thrower is the way. Wink

I'd also second or additionally point out
Immolation
Panzerchrist (as hard, heavy, and warlike as their namesake.   Battalion Beast slays.)
Septic Flesh (has a symphonic flair to their music.  Sumerian Daemons is killer)
Behemoth
Vader (comes from the same country as Behemoth.  Not as strong IMO, but still very good.  De Profundis and Welcome to the Morbid Reich are recommended.)
Nile
Nocturnus (weird as hell sci-fi death metal.  The Key has cult status already and Thresholds is pretty good too.)

Also, your sig wins.  Although I believe it's "moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul".  But no biggie.

Be welcome to the site!
 
EDIT: and if you're looking for DM I think that Deicide is essential too. I'm surprised that no one mentioned them yet. Wink

Hey there.

Ever listen to Isis, Cult of Luna or Neurosis?  Essential post-metal.
