Lately ive been getting into metal. And i really like it, though not all genres of metal. Mainly Powermetal and Opera Metal, and occasionally metal that sounds emo but isnt. Im not really a fan of Black Metal or Death Metal or anything thats super heavy and has screeching angry vocals.
So far these are just a few of my favorite bands, know any others that i might like based on my current list??
Dragonforce
Mercenary
Manticora
Nightwish
BlackMajesty
Zandelle
SymphonyX

I don't know if you've tried them yet or not, but some of UnderOath's stuff is okay.
| |
Except that Underoath isn't metal. Also, ewww... Christian band.

Christian band. meh, a few of their songs fall under the metal category They have a few screamo songs too, but those tend to not be as great as most, depending on your mood at the time though these are awesome. And yeah, despite falling under the Christian labels, they have more secular fans than Christian. | |
I'm not a fan of black metal or death metal either. It's seems like that's all you can find these days. They list themselves under every metal category as if they are not subgenres.
I'm not quite sure about Opera Metal, but I'd suggest Savatage (mostly the later stuff) and Dream Theater. Of course, Manowar will give a medieval powermetal fix. | |
yaaaay for mushroomhead
yaaaay for static-x yaaaay for other stuff i'm too lazy to name right now. | |
Sonata Arctica and Stratovarius.
Kind of like Dragonforce, but better! :) | |
Opera Metal? Never head of that <.<
If you're referring to Progressive Metal, Dream Theater and Rush are the biggest. | |
I am not a fan of Dream Theater =/
Ill try the other ones listed here and see if they tickle my fancy | |
Look for a band name Trivium. If you don't like angry yelling lyrics, then check out their newest album, "The Crusade."
Oh, and dragonforce sucks. | |
Listen to Metallica, best band.
| |
Metallica is trash. They have a few decent songs, but for the most part don't bother.

okay ive scoped out all the bands listed here except a few, i already never liked trivium much, nor metallica much
system of a down Rush are the only new bands ive taken a liking to the rest of the bands you guys mentioned are decent but only have 1 or 2 good songs as opposed to good albums or majority good crop of songs. | |

Saku, Scream of an Aggitated Maggot, OBSCURE, Clever Sleazoid, Yokan All great songs. But meh, that is just me | |
Gaah, how can you not like Dir en grey?
While Saku had quite a bit of melodic bits, it also had a lot of "screeching angry vocals". Some bands, like Acts Magdalena and Wolverine, also manage to mix it well. However, you really have to be in the mood for it if you don't like death vocals in the first place. | |
No, old Metallica is equally bad, and not all new Metallica is bad.

"Push It"
"The Only"
"I'm With Stupid"
