Just a few that I am currently listening to.

if u like avenged sevenfold, ive been told that..

Protest the hero sounds a little like them... i can only really tell in 1 or 2 songs :D

Anthrax- among the living.
Possibly one of the greatest albums ever.

Check out myspace.com/avoided
Great hardcore punk band from Milwaukee.

Soilwork is my current favorite metal band, but i can probably give you another hundred or so if you desire, just ask th00p ;)

If we're going to suggest Anthrax JC, you should just suggest the Anthrology album as it is their greatest hits :)

No one mentioned "In Flames"? I remember a post about metal a few months ago that was full of "In Flames" praise... They rock!

sorry folks

I'll have to say these bands that have been mentioned are good.

Lostprophets
Thrice

Disturbed's current CD would be great. Defy and 10k Fists feel like a must. Lost Prophets lesser known songs work nicely. Taproot is more of a downer so don't go there. 30 Seconds to Mars is right there with Prophets if not better. Personally hate how 30secs became alt.pop-rock for college preps when their music is about struggle, so don't feel alone when that irony hits at a red light. enuff of thet...
Old rock like AC/DC, Clutch, Metalica, Megadeth, Motorhead, Pantera for starters. Davis's list basically covered the best. Not so much on new bands as that has the possibility to distract later and/or excite the mind in such a way you might get bored mid set. You want a familiar sound and prolonged upward feeling so I'd advice against certain forms of metal such as those Chris mentioned. No Lacuna Coil here and don't care how great Lamb of God is their songs can be less than satisfactory given the talent. Add Alice in Chains, Filter, Bush, Live, w/e long gone bands you've heard too much in your radio life time only not enough recently. Can't be hard all the time. You can put the heavy on later in the week, but the first CD should blow your head out. Aside from Flamey's "list" all comments were good.

Korn - Take A Look in the Mirror (My favorites off this album are Alive and Right Now)
Static-X (Bled for Days is a must have :p)

Here's some that haven't been mentioned yet that I like...

Silverchair
A Perfect Circle
Seventeen Rhinos
Audioslave
Gravity Kills

Yeah! Amon Amarth! You just can't beat some good old Viking metal! On a similar page as Amon Amarth and Manowar, check out 3 Inches of Blood.

hmm, how about Tenacious D ? Their latest movie was pretty cool IMO, and the soundtracks are pretty nice too. I really loved the final song during the credits called ' The Metal '. :)

linkin park

Not metal, but my fav. rock band, soundgarden. Try superunknown (best known) or badmotorfinger (heavier ;P)

Slayer (Reign in Blood)
Kalmah (Groan of the Wind, Heroes to Us, Man with Mystery)
Children of Bodom (Needled 24/7)
Shape of Despair (Sleeping Murder)

I listen to a few others, just can't think of 'em at the moment. Have fun :D

Currently got Needled 24/7 and Pisschrist on a disc in my car. Good tunes.
