Asp, most if not all of those bands just mentioned are Scream-o, Metalcore, Hardcore, or Emo.

Stick to the real Metal. Try this shit out:

Evile - Pure old school Thrash -http://www.myspace.com/evileuk
Helloween - Speed Metal
Paradox - Speed Metal Germany
Dream Evil - Very Power Metal but I like em :)

Tell me the style you like more specifically, The vocals, The speed or the story of the song.

If you think you can handle some intense singing give these bands a try:

Kalmah
Amon Armoth
Wintersun

[MackDawg]

What about

-RA
-Karnivool
-Katatonia
-Sikth
-Machine Head
-Mastodon

3IB rules because theyre fast, melodic, and you can understand what theyre saying. I cant stand death metal thats just shouting from the back of dudes throat. Im really digging the song Doomsday by Atreyu... so awesome.

[MackDawg]

Death metal for me is way over the top interms of Vocal's, but guitar riffs are always something that keeps me listening.

Not to mention other instrumental add in's, such as CoB and there crazy keyboards.

Each to thier own I guess.

You want Riff Driven metal? Try Kalmah man. Keyboards and all. The singer actually changed his voice from the higher growl to the low more death style growl. It took me a few tries to get past the voice and when I did (I now love it) It was clear to me this was one of the best metal albums EVER MADE.

Kalmah - The Black Waltz.

Sorry couldn't find just the song.. Time takes us all. Just Listen to it and ignore the voice for a bit. It is one of the most powerful, epic, melodic, riff driven songs ever in my opinion.

Just Listen to the guitars, keys and the overall vibe. The voice plays in well too but it has to grow on people. This band has the power to win over people who don't even like metal if the people give them a shot. w00t Kalmah!

This is the opening song for the Black Waltz.
