Any kind of Metal?

He posted power/Folk metal bands so I'm assuming not.

I'm not big on power metal, but I know there's Iced Earth and Galneryus, but you've probably heard of them before.

If anything, don't listen to Metallica. Their old stuff is okay, but their new stuff is complete garbage. I'd suggest Megadeth for metal, Racer X for speed metal, Dethklok for melodic death metal, etc. Yngwie Malmsteen plays good neo-classical metal and MAB plays pretty good speed metal as well. Wouldn't recommend Dragonforce, you'd get bored of them quick. A lot of their stuff sounds the same and it's sped up. Also, if you really want to get involved in metal, come join MusicHub.

Animals as Leaders, Insomnium, and Dethklok.
Ignore the Disturbed/Slipknot trash.

There's lots of metal on my Last.fm, if you don't have an account you should make one. The radio is great for finding new metal.
