Kay... I just started listening to metal again, and I am kinda lost. I know there are a few people in here who do or have listened to metal in the past, so I was wondering if anyone might have some suggestions. Things I am into now are; Slayer, Danzig, Dimmu Borgir, Full Blown Chaos. Any suggestions are much appreciated. :)

I'd recommend Meshuggah, but thats extremely hardcore, insane time signatures, and lots of yelling.
I'm more of a Tool fan.
Also if you can find this obscure underground group Silencer, they have good metal tunes.

if you like those bands, you'll probably like Entombed and perhaps Sepultura (i dig their Chaos A.D. lp).
but mostly, i listen to grindcore and doom sorta stuff. my favorite metal-ish bands of the moment: brutal truth (best grindcore band ever? i think so), hellchild, 324, eyehategod, converge, soilent green, doom, multiplex, (old) dillinger escape plan, burnt by the sun... i'm leaving a lot out, but i'm drawing a blank at the moment.

Mastodon is the best Metal band in the world.
Listen to Repulsion if you like Grindcore because they were there first.
Slayer kicks ass too - and I still think Divine Intervention is awesome, but after that don't bother. Reign In Blood is of course the best Thrash album ever.
Old Metallica still rules.
There's way too much underground Metal in existence for anyone to absorb. Listen to Gronibard, from France.
If it's Czech, chances are it kicks ass - see Ingrowing, Contrastic, !T.O.O.H.! for examples of this.
Humor belongs in Metal. Listen to Macabre, from Chicago.
I'm drunk and drinking loads of water to avoid dehydration tomorrow.

yeh, Sepultura's Chaos A.D. is an excellent album! the band in their prime.
Taxidermist, you'll DEFINITELY enjoy this release.
i'd also recommend these:
Carcass - Heartwork. imo, one of the best metal albums out there. melodic and cerebral at the same time. no metal band could combine these two things like Carcass did!
and besides, Jeff Walker has the best growling voice ever! :)
My Dying Bride - Like Gods Of The Sun. a doom-metal masterpiece. it's a very powerful, melodic and dark album.
unlike most MDB's albums, this one is more uptempo and song-structured. possibly my favorite metal release ever.
Death - Symbolic. another metal gem. kinda mix of death/thrash/progressive rock. awesome musicianship on the album. Chuck Schuldiner was a really talented guy...

Lots of good stuff. I think I feel like growing a mullet and storing trans ams and beercans in my front yard. I am sure the bylaw enforcement people would dislike a bunch of rotting car carcasses chilling out in the middle of Smithe street, but I don't care.

I second that Don Cab album, some heavy moments on there. I would recommend Meshuggah, Cynic, Dysrhythmia, The Fucking Champs, Isis. Anyone into more technical metal should check out Virulence. Also, most of meshuggah's songs are in 4/4.

and if you like melodic cheesy melodic death stuff haha... cheesy haha!! rah rah!!!!
Dismember - massive killing capacity ( had this album in my walkman month after month years ago back in school )
Amorphis - tales from the thousand lakes ( melodic and melodies ) I always come back to this album for some reason, I hate death metal singers and I think it sounds stupid but the melodies are there so....

Mastodon has awesome music but I think their singer needs to get his head out of his ass and realize that he can't sing.
Can anyone recommend good Dillinger Escape Plan tunes?

I really like Mastodon's vocals. Obviously he's not a classically trained singer but I think he pulls off the rock / metal vocals well. I was pleasantly surprised by the vocals on the new album.
As far as Dillinger goes, listen to "Calculating Infinity," not their new album. The new album sucks, despite what anyone says. It's garbage.

Seriously i have Remission from Mastodon and i love it. The fucking drumming is great. I think that is the same drummer from "todays the day"
Speaking of Todays the day they are also quite good.
The unseen is punk/hardcore that works quite well.

You should pick up Mastodon's new album "Leviathan." It's really different but still kicks lots of ass. I'm not sure if I like it more than "Remission" but it definitely rules. It has a much more classic vibe.
The drummer and one of the guitarists from Mastodon played on Today Is The Day's album "In The Eyes Of God." It's the only TITD album I enjoy listening to, and it's basically just because of the drumming.

I cant say I've heard a huge variety of Meshuggahs work, but what I've heard is definately not "mostly 4/4"

Whatever you've heard it's mostly all in 4/4. they split 4/4 into 16 beats, they plays patterns grouped in uneven numbers which eventually become even. This means that everyone can play different patterns but come together at the end. Occasionally they'll add beats here and there and of course sometimes use odd times. Even Thordendal has confirmed this method.

Every thread that i read the word "metal" in:
It is my purpose, nay, my duty to recommend opeth. Uzim is absolutely right. I'd recomend the albums "blackwater park", "deliverance" and "orchid", but if you want a single track to get the flavour then "the leper affinity" is truly amazing. Get ye to slsk, right away. Now.
I LOVE opeth, and so should you.

Cradle of filth are fuck all like Opeth! The former has cheesy MTV goff-rock teen angst credibilty, the latter has earnest sentiments of Luv and Loss and Death and Despair. But without (most of) the cheese. I know opeth can get pretty fucking stupid at times, especially lyrically, but still. They're a long way from CoF.

Kay, I downloaded most of these, and so far have listened to half of them. I really liked Mastadon. I liked Meshuggah. Entombed is actually an old favorite of mine that I had kinda forgotten about.
Although, I really can't get into the Opeth stuff. Its a bit too light.
Anyways, thanks a lot for the suggestions. Everybody has been really helpfull. Most of the music I been hearing lately rocks... I don't know what was in my head before... heh.

not strictly metal, a bit more on the hardcore side. and if you like Dimmu Borgir you should try Old Man's Child, which is a Dimmu offshoot.

they have a unique sound, and the gargle grunt vocalist sounds like a demonic bullfrog.
only one album released, Nespithe, now out of print, the band is offering it free for download since their record company is fucking with them. mp3s, oggs, and flacs available.
