There's so much good metal out there you will never hear on the radio.
Symphony X, Strapping Young Lad or any Devin Townsend metal project, Angra, Septic Flesh, Testament, Meshuggah, Pain of Salvation, Ayreon, (old) In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, Krux, There's a bit of style-variation in these bands though, but they are all great in my opinion.

I agree with Trond, If you wanna hear quality metal, don't try and look for it in the radio
And if you like progressive metal, you must check out Opeth! -------------------- Gear:

If you want metal that is dirty and raw you should check out 80's/90's black metal. There is tons and tons of good bands in this genre, also new bands.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=0haPd1AiAXY http://youtube.com/watch?v=0_F4KiYFVWQ http://youtube.com/watch?v=n5TsYgBSN3U etc. most people wont like this right away, but bands like Opeth i think is a good start to get used to more heavy stuff. Opeth is ridiculously fantastic, so check them out if you havent yet. Also check out Saxon and Pentagram(US). Very early heavy metal. This post has been edited by Robin: Apr 6 2008, 11:44 AM |

As some others already stated, if you are looking for metal, the radio is definitely the wrong place and about old vs new metal, well, I have my own philosophy about all this, for me there is music that I like, and music that I don't like, I don't care if it is old school metal, or Nu metal, or metal at all. And I am almost sure that if you keep exploring todays scene you will sooner or later find some new bands that you will also like. If you want some advice about progressive metal, I would also recommend Opeth, and one of my alltime faves: Fates Warning (check out "Awaken the Guardian!!!)
