Sounds like you need some Saint Vitus.
SoulPlaya has posted lots of doom metal so check out his posts.

Arise is Sepultura's best, and destroys BtR.
I could list recommendations all day, and it's always AWESOME to see someone get deeper into metal and discover the depth of the genre, but it does take a bit of knowledge to really get the best suggestions out. There are plenty of 'gateway' bands that will lead to more and more bands.
My playlist today at work has been Kalmah, so I'll recommend them!
Kalmah - Bullets Are Blind
If you don't like brutal thrash, then i'd guess i agree with you. Arise is watered down beneath the remains. The best song on arise wouldn't even make the top 5 on BTR. Rigorous scientific analysis has led me to conclude that arise has less riffs than the song from the past comes the storms.

Arise was a huge leap forward for the band. I remember buying it when it came out, and it gave me chills the first listen. It was not only light years beyond BtR, but everything else out there (other than Justice). Nothing else was even close. The acoustic intros still hold up as some of the best on any metal album ever.
BtR is essential once you get into the band, but that's it.
You're right ShaneB, I'm aware I'm looking at the tip of the iceberg here. You gotta start somewhere right?
I liked the Kalmah song you recommended, so I listened to some more. I'm not sure I like this kind of 'melodic' (for lack of a better word) metal but thank you nonetheless.
Saint Vitus sounds a bit more like what I'm looking for, thank you Dr Dawg.
gibson theater plz.
also, how the hell is BTR "brutal" thrash!? come on son if there's any safe label to give BTR is prog/thrash.

nicerdicer put up a nice list. If you don't mind some harsher vocals you might like Graves At Sea.
Excellent!
Heh, it's all good man! And it would likely fall under the genre of 'melodic death metal', so yes, feel free to use that word
I figured with the mention of Killing Floor and Nation Red I'd stick to something a little faster paced. I'm not really into the Doomy stuff mentioned, so we've all got different taste. Something a little more techy Arsis - Overthrown
Maybe I'm completely off since I'm going a totally different route than the other recommendations. lol

Wino was/is the singer of St. Vitus. He had some more really good bands! Spirit Caravan!

Stoner infused doom metal, slightly bluesy as well. : ) Awesome stuff, I love him! I'll see him in a cafe around here (acoustic concert) in a few days, oh yeah!
Let's give these a shot, there should be something here that tickles your funny bone:
Bruce Dickinson - The Chemical Wedding: Link
Sheavy - Synchronized: Link
Kreator - Cause for Conflict: Link
Crowbar - Odd Fellows Rest: Link
Armored Saint - Delirious Nomad: Link
Souls At Zero - Souls At Zero: Link

I don't see Beneath The Remains as anything proggy about it. It's almost borderline death metal with deep roots of thrash. Hell, John Tardy of Obituary and Kelly Schaeffer of Atheist lend their voices on the album. All the hallmarks of thrash riffing are there i.e. string skipping, intricate right hand picking, etc. Pretty much Brazil's answer to Slayer and Vio-Lence's "Eternal Nightmare" album.
Arise on the other hand....pretty uneventful and dry. I can barely listen to that album anymore. They seemed to know they've exhausted what they were doing after Arise. Chaos A.D. was the biggest step for them and is pretty great for what it is.

Ufomammut ------- Very heavy but very very interesting, me likey.
Church of Misery------- These guys are sick. Will definitely keep listening.
Bongzilla-------Ooooooh yeah. pssssssst. Just what the doctor ordered.
Kyuss and Boris I had already heard and I like them.
ShaneB
Arsis------- Very interesting, will listen to more of their songs.
Blackheim
Bruce Dickinson ------ Really liked it, more than I expected. Didn't even know he had a solo career.
Kreator-------wtf is the drummer doing?? Sounds a bit like Sepultura to me and has that 90s metal vibe I like. Really good.
SoulPlaya
Pale Divine------Damn, instant favorite.

Listened to Protest The Hero once again after dismissing them as being not for me a few years back.
Tried the Keiza album for starters, and the the opinions I had about them befpre are coming up again. I don't know what it is, but they just aren't doing it for me. I don't know if it's the lack of rawness/ferocity or the overproduction, or a mixture of the two, but something just isn't drawing me in. I don't know if there other albums are any different, but they feel like late Dream Theater pretentious era of music, but just not as talented.
Are their other albums different or is it pretty much the same? I'm not even halfway through and I'm already pretty tired of it.

I think me and you may have similar tastes. Here's some more recommendations:
Black Pyramid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aAOwA4Ozhw
Heavy Eyes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHlBwO5F-RM
Orchid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LEmp9NDCNs
Uncle Acid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjO5PuXJO48
Graveyard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cfXN4qCt1I&feature=related
EDIT: One more, Witchcraft-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnOz4udTY5Q
what I meant was that BTR has elements of of prog-like structure song. A good example of this is Stronger than Hate..starts slow, then gets a bit thrashy, melodic lead, then heavy. Somewhat similar in the vein Coroner. Also, lobotomy is another one.
anyways, did anybody listen to Napalm Death's Utilitarian yet?
Yep, figured if you were into Maiden, Bruce's solo career would be right up your alley. That particular song/album by Kreator is from the '90s, one of my faves by them
Gonna throw 2 more your way that I forgot to include earlier:
Outrage - Blind to Reality: Link
(The Lord Weird) Slough Feg - Traveller: Link

to add more to the stoner/doom vibe I can't recommend BONGRIPPER enough. Heavy as elephant balls instrumental doom.
Reefer Sutherland
Satan
Sex Tape
Hate Ashbury Pt. II
Actually, you can listen to their discography at their website: http://bongripper.bandcamp.com/

New Sonata Arctica album "Stones Grow Her Name" to be released May 18th.
I'm excited, and after hearing some of the song titles, terribly worried. At the same time.

Shitloads of Cash or something right? Album art was really cool... I'm expecting someting very mainstream as a single and hopefully some great songs tucked away on the album.

"Shitload of Money" and "Don't be Mean" would be the main offenders, though I won't let it judge my actual opinion of the music. I don't find the titles "cheesy" (and as anyone who follows this thread can tell I couldn't give any less of a shit about supposed "cheese"), they are just bizarre.
Initial reports suggest it's varied, but probably their most midpaced album... so we'll see how that goes. I still love this band, regardless of their change in direction.

Wildfire II and Wildfire III, as well as the puppet figure on the cover suggests a nod towards Reckoning Night... I hope...
Weird. After not having visited this thread in weeks I just got the hankering to pop into this thread to see if anyone could recommend me some more stuff along the lines of Kyuss. Then I'm greeted with all this Stoner Rock/Metal on the most recent page. GAF is conspiring to fuck with my mind.
EDIT: Thought I'd suggest Beastwars in the doom metal/stoner rock vein of things.

His solo albums are excellent.
Chemical Wedding is great and I love Accident of Birth.
I know this might not be saying much but I listen to them more than modern Maiden albums.

Yeah, I saw that too, and I am expecting as well sth mainstream, but like I remember when The Days of Grays and Unia came out, aaaaaaaaall people were complaining a lot about how different were those albums compared to Silence or Winterheart's Guild for example.
The only thing I am kinda 'worried' about is that well I dunno if Wildfire II & III will be sth I will like, is maybe me but one side of me really wants to listen to those single tracks because I am reaaaaally curious, and in the other hand I think I will be either very disappointed or very hyper and happy with them. Also the first track makes me think it will be a sequel of No Dream Can Heal A Broken Heart (which is one one my favourite tracks from The Days of Grays)
However, I agree with you that the puppet girl in the cover reminds me of the one that is in Reckoning Night.
And honestly after reading what Tony says about the album, I dunno what to expect save sth mainstream and that I actually will end up loving, as always happens to me with Sonata Arctica
Hah! But you MUST take in consideration this, how many national bands (I'm mexican) last longer than 1 Year? and how many of them are good enough to count as metal bands, you know here things are different, countries like Finland, Norway, Russia, etc produce a lot of bands but they are good enough to stay between people's taste and last long enough. Mexican bands don't have that.

Overkill = *bows* Those dudes never disappoint me

Definitely getting some more Kreator. About Dickinson albums, should I start with his Best of compilation or go straight to Chemical wedding?
(And dude, if that's you in your avatar, you totally look like Matt Cameron (Pearl Jam's drummer))
Soulplaya
Graveyard------dat 70s sound. Really liked this one.
Witchcraft-------didn't know they made metal this groovy, wow.
Giant Robot
Bongripper-------Very soundtrack-y. I liked the fast ones better than the slow ones.
Cactus
Colour haze-------DAMN. DAMN. DAMN. Sounds like Tool playing Led Zeppelin. Wow. What album is that? I can't find much info anywhere.
edit: found it. Getting Tempel right about now.

I've skipped a couple albums they've put out (Taking Over [yeah yeah, I know, never clicked with me], W.F.O., Coverkill and Relix) but, overall I'd say that they very much deliver. Love them.
Kreator is awesome! I like Cause For Conflict best I think. Renewal too, even though that album seems to be universally hated by Kreator fans
If you can get the 2 disc version of the Best of, I'd say grab that. If not, Chemical Wedding and Accident of Birth, the re-releases with the extra tracks if you're not a stickler for preserving the original album content and don't mind getting some extra songs
Oh, yeah that's me >_> Never changed back to my original avatar after real pic January heh.Fuck yea, Kenya. Representin' in middle Africa.
holy shit, gorgoroth. I think I had heard of them before:

And this was one of my favorite songs when Vehemence were together:

Basically, God was Created, was amazing.
It's been awhile since I've listened to brutal music. Mostly listen to Slipknot. (Shhhh-ush.)

Well, they've used Metal Archives as a source, and the site features more obscure bands as well. At least there's a plenty of old bands who've only released a demo or two back in the 90's.
