So I've dabbled here and there with some metal; but I've always been super confused on all the different sub-categories, and when I ask friends for recommendations I don't really have a basis for what exactly I like, so they just give me their own favorites and it's often super hit or miss.
Some metal and metal-ish bands I know I like for reference: Rammstein System of a Down Metallica Sonata Arctica Korn Pantera Tool Soundgarden Alice In Chains Other bands that I've heard bits of and liked, but don't know a ton about/only know a couple of their songs I like: Slipknot Disturbed Ghost Iron Maiden Amon Amarth Mudvayne Help me CE, I don't know much, but I wanna know more. --- "She was like, 'Oh, did you see that firefighter?

Three inches of bloodI don't think I like the vocals of Three Inches of Blood. The Haunted seems solid, I can kinda vibe with the couple of songs I just checked out. The Bronx I'm not sure on, I could go either way, I need to give them more of a listen. --- "She was like, 'Oh, did you see that firefighter? Hes so cute.'

I'm more into punk over metal, but I have a few suggestions regardless if you want to broaden your horizons.
Intro to punk that isn't real heavy NOFX - White Trash Two Heebs and a Bean Bad Religion - All Ages or Stranger Than Fiction Face to Face - Big Choice More indy/hardcore than punk At The Drive In - Relationship of Command Snapcase - Progression Through Unlearning These are among my favorite albums, ever in any genre, and highly suggest for someone looking to get into a new band. If you like either Bad Religion or NOFX album, they both have literally a dozen others, and have been around for so long. Give the vocalist of NOFX a fair chance, he can be a bit off putting at first. At The Drive in became Sparta, and then became The Mars Volta, which is likely their most successful rendition, but they tended to get more emo and strange throughout. --- Ten million dollars on a losing campaign, Twenty million starving and writhing in pain. =~=; Vicious_Dios Original - https://tinyurl.com/y9fpdoll ...

Mastodon, specifically the Crack the Skye album.I think I've heard them before; just went to their top songs on spotify and checked out Blood and Thunder and The Motherload, the latter in particular I really liked, I'll need to check them out more, I think I can vibe with them. --- "She was like, 'Oh, did you see that firefighter?

Bad Religion might be one of those bands that completely hits the nail on the head about modern politics, similar to Rage Against the Machine. If you really listen to it, they had this figured out 20 years before it happened, it's powerful and brilliant. The lead vocalist just got his 2nd PhD and is a professor at Cornell University. There's so much meaning behind the words.

TC I think stoner/doom metal is probably the most accessible way to get into metal. Generally heavy but the vocals arent always as harsh as what youd see in death and black
starting point would be something like Black Sabbath https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=boNNEoXdzIM for me Mastodon was next, they do the combination of harsh and clean vocals without ever sounding too extreme https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v-Su1YXQYek Baroness https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4V0N1x675FQ Khemmis https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xZd2liHm8P8 Earthless https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PAMCQt_2R1I Mutoid Man https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=U2OBw-LhNto Pallbearer https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DNl_18Kr56g High on Fire https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=L0VPVawpN8E Sleep https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AMUaWc46_0U Windhand https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uyk7rSjiK8g Witchcraft https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=H7W13oW-dw4 Lord Buffalo https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xDqHM3LGvkc The Sword https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zCpWhtoW3j4 Yob https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ei9PR87zDk8 Elder https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pOc-RCGj6iE Elephant Tree https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i91r56o4-gk --- The words of The Golden Eel have been revealed...

If you like more 'commercial' metal, check out
Mastodon - they're a good 1st timer band to get into heavier music; first 2 albums are heavy, next 2 are transitional, the next 3 are a little lighter Gojira - their last 2 albums are more accessible; the earlier stuff is more death metal and nutty Deftones - they're not metal but have been called nu-metal or alternative metal; they're one of the best bands of that era; check out the first 3 albums to start If you want to take a dive into an extreme subgenre (ie. death metal), listen to Mercyful Fate - they're kind of standard heavy metal with some glimpses of black metal and other extreme genres; listen to Melissa and Don't Fear the Oath albums; you may or may not like the high pitch vocal style of King Diamond (the singer) Slayer - they're thrash metal, but they're the gateway to crazier stuff; check out their 80's and early 90's stuff Death - to me, the best classic death metal band ever; 7 awesome albums Morbid Angel - first few albums are iconic death metal album; they're pretty nutty for a first timer --- Go Leafs Go http://www.last.fm/user/Disposableher0 ...

I would also add Nine Inch Nails. They're not quite metal but they have some heavy s*** to ease you into it. The Broken EP is a heavy mothereffer and Pretty Hate Machine and The Downward Spiral have their moments mixed into some more artsy stuff. With Teeth is later on but more straight ahead and probably easier to get into. But not as good.
