    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Favourite Bands/Artists?

No offence, but that's bullshit. Look at Kill Em All, Ride The Lightning (especially) and Master Of Puppets. Even the saddest underground thrash metal nerds would admit those are thrash albums. Just because Metallica aren't as heavy as stuff like Slayer and Kreator doesn't make them not thrash. Listen to Megadeth or Overkill, just as melodic as early Metallica but undoubtedly thrash. I know Metallica sold out, I know the last few albums have been crap and that they've shat on their fans a lot, but claiming they were never thrash is just silly.

I'd hesitate to call Megadeth thrash and I haven't heard Overkill. Megadeth is just plain speed metal to me, so is Metallica really. Metallica are kind of thrash, but they also kind of aren't, and they aren't as good as any of the other thrash bands.

And I have heard all the old Metallica albums, and I'm really sick of people overhyping them. There are like 10 or 15 good songs on the first four records combined, and almost all of them are off Justice anyways.

Megadeth from Killing Is My Business to Rust In Peace I'd say was thrash. And yeah, I'm not saying Metallica's old stuff was amazing, there are many better thrash bands around, but they're definitely thrash metal. Ride The Lightning's the only one of their albums that's up there with the best thrash bands though IMO. and Overkill are amazing :P
 
Iced Earth (especially Framing Armageddon. Hopefully Crucible of Man is better)
Slayer (Pre-Seasons)
Metallica (Pre-Load. Everything else was lame save for S&M)
Dethklok

I've yet to properly listen to Blind Guardian; Valhalla was a great song.
 
The bands and artists I like? Well let's see... I like In Extremo, Battlelore, Powerglove, Aya Hirano, Stephen Lynch, Weird Al Yankovic, Tom Lehrer and of course Rick Astley.

jesus christ I need more music help me guys ;-;

kinda boring
 
Tristania fucking rules okay

One of the greatest female vocalists ever (second only to Floor), breathtaking atmosphere, plus the greatest gothic metal album in history (Beyond the Veil). Niche, yes. Boring, absolutely not.
 
tristania zzz'es me everytime

vibeke just hits high notes.

and the greatest gothic metal album is subject to great debate but imo goth is just a doom subgenre and in that case I would refer you to epicus doomicus metallicus or turn loose the swans
 
I'm not talking out of my ass when I say Beyond the Veil is the greatest gothic metal album in history. This doesn't mean it's my favorite - I've listened through it maybe three times - but bands like Paradise Lost will never be able to compare to it. Other albums aren't anywhere near the "best gothic metal album" title, but... you just have to listen to BtV to know what I mean.
 
i didn't cite paradise lost, although draconian times is amazing

candlemass and my dying bride is more what I was going for

anyway i have not listened to that particular tristania album, just ashes and illumination but although they are both ok they don't really... iono i'd say they're ok, decent like in the 6-7/10 ish range but not extroardinary
 
once again your are listening to the wrong albums; both of those are really geared to the Lacuna Coil crowd

go check out Beyond the Veil if you want to see what I mean, perhaps what I'm saying will make more sense
