We have the same tastes. Trivium is exactly what you want! The lyrics on Shogun (their last album) were on a God-like level of epicness; seriously just read the lyrics and you'll see. Testament, even Black Tide, and especially Judas Priest's Painkiller album you should love too. Check the songs below:
Trivium - Like Callisto to a Star In Heaven
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAwdHRHH1-M
Trivium - Of Prometheus and the Crucifix
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmGXmFtCi3E&feature=related
Trivium - Rain (a little less singing and more growling, but the riffs are bonerific)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcqPo_WcYaU
Testament - Henchmen Ride
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBwR23xGkkA
Testament - Into The Pit
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePEFBxDGRw8
Judas Priest - Painkiller (Easily one of the greatest pieces of music you'll ever hear)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nM__lPTWThU&ob=av2el
Judas Priest - Night Crawler
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ifwh_R3XUFY&feature=related
Judas Priest - The Hellion/Electric Eye
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04MmA-nCfQs&feature=related
Black Tide - Warriors of Time (they toured with Bullet, you'll love this)

Holy Shit I just found out that Accept is on a reunion tour and they are coming to Denver!
Hearing 'Fast as A Shark' live is actually on my bucket list.

me and "Dennis the Menace"..."Macabre" drummer
I'm drummer too and consider myself pretty good but DAMN he just kills it. He's almost two times faster on doublebass. I swear in some songs he broke the 270bpms easily.
The pic was taken right after he finished his last song and jumped down the stage.
Note that he doesn't even sweat. There were no signs of sweatmarks on his shirt. I look like a 2 month old floater after show.
Macabre blew the other bands(i.e. Napalm Death) out the water. It's amazing to see 3 guys creating a sound-wall of death while bands with 5 musicians sound like a badly tuned portable-radio.

haha! oh shit!
Dennis The Menace is definately awesome. Especially his frightening double bass work on Sinister Slaughter. Macabre was fucking great up until around Dahmer or so when everything started to sound like nursery rhymes. Glad to hear they are still around and fast as fuck.

Stereogum premiered a new Krallice song today:
"The Clearing"
They have been playing this song live for around a year now, and there are a few videos of it online, so you might have heard it before. Also, the new album will be called Diotima and will be out in late April on Profound Lore. I am fucking psyched.

Been listening to a whole lot of Sonata Arctica lately, but I'm interested in expanding my playlist, if only a bit
Open to any and all suggestions here!
Theres a lot to look at. If you want to stay in the realm of power/prog, check out Seventh Wonder, Darkwater, Serenity(singer sounds a bit like Sonata Arctica's guy), Circus Maximus, Dream Theater, Symphony X, Threshold, Anubis Gate, Blind Guardian.
That'll keep you interested for awhile in that genre. A lot of this thread is centered on black metal and its not my cup of tea. But if you like Sonata Arctica, the above bands will certainly be relevant to what you're looking for. I recommend all of them. If you need specifics like albums let me know.

if you like Torche, check out Floor. It's Steve Brooks' previous band. There were actually some leftover Floor songs that carried over into Torche's first album. I loved Torche's first album and the In Return EP. Meanderthal's first half was fun then got super Foo Fighters-ish. Haven't heard the Songs For Singles yet though and not sure if I want to :\
Floor - Scimitar
Floor - Return To Zero
Floor - Loanin

Alright, Black Metal-GAF, need some recommendations here. Need some bands similar to Angantyr, Thy Light, Means to an End, and Ars Diavoli. Stuff more on the DSBM/ambient black metal side of things. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm a huge fan of Sonata and bands of their ilk, here's what I would reccomend.
First off, i'd say Stratovarius is a must. They sort of created the keyboard rich, power metal sound that Sonata play. I like Sonata better, but you'll probably dig them.
Another very safe bet is Cain's Offering, which is the new band by Ex-Sonata Arctica guitar player Jani Liimatainen. It's basically SA without Tony Kakko and without their new found progressiveness.
In addition to those try out Kamelot, Nightwish, Excalion, Altaria, and Thunderstone. All are relatively similar in style.

Meruader
All Out War
25 to Life
Mad Ball
As Blood Runs Black
Opeth
Pantera
Meshuggah
August Burns Red
Agnostic Front
Warzone
As I Lay Dying..etc
So, what should I pick up, or get into?

The Metalliance Tour
Bands (that I know of right now) include St. Vitus, Crowbar, Helmet, Intronaut, Howl, Keelhaul, and The Atlas Moth.
That is a really good lineup. I can't wait for this show!

I just checked them out today, listened to all of 1184 and I very much enjoyed it. It's not what I expected at all, being significantly more black metal in style than I was told previously, but I like it.
Also, they seem to have some sort of crazy trance/techno thing going on every once and a while. Which I found pretty wild and shockingly it fits.
If you like Sonata Arctica, you can't go wrong with some Rhapsody. I'd recommend (LP's) Dawn of Victory and Power of the Dragonflame. It's so cheesy, but also so good.hadar said:Gonna have to bother the metalhead experts here, but I kinda need some suggestions.

I saw Crowbar before the summer in Spain and they were awesome but, even though I loved the set list, it still felt like they left many good ones out. They are just too good. One of my top 10 bands of all time, no doubt.
The new song I've heard is this one and yes, it´s pretty pretty good

Macabre are fucking amazing.... but I have yet to see them life. Hopefully in April at the Neurotic Deathfest.

Agalloch announced today that they will be doing a short tour in March, mostly of the east coast. If you're a fan, you probably know that they do NOT tour often and rarely leave the west coast (they haven't been to this side of the continent in seven years), so if they're playing in your area, you probably shouldn't miss out. I already got my ticket for the Boston show!

The best or the bestest record to come from Norway? Everytime I start playing I wish contemporary would have a similar impact in the way I listen to music. In my top three albums forever.
Youtube: Ye Entrancemperium.
Another one of my favorites: Babylon Whores. Too bad they're on hiatus at the moment. I'd probably die of joy if they decided to continue making music. Great melodies, deep lyrics and awesome singer.

same here. The first song and Curse and Loss of Reverence on Anthems is fucking incredible. Nightside Eclipse was just beautiful the whole way through.
I'm still partial to Transilvanian Hunger and A Blaze In The Northen Sky for the best albums from Norway.

Absolutely love Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk. I used to try and get all my friends in high school to bite on that one, but they wouldn't.

Is that just a low quality version of the song? I like the song but the production sounded horrible.

It was taped off of a radio show, so I would assume it's taken a pretty big hit in quality vs the actual album.

I just saw Melvins for the second time this month. They played the entire Stoner Witch record, which was pretty amazing.
Once you've hit the three suggested records (all mandatory), I'd consider checking out Lysol (Untitled) it's a one-track record with some really fun songs on it -- there's a great Alice Cooper cover.
Also, The Bride Screamed Murder (their latest) is pretty good. That's the material you'll usually see them playing if you decide to catch them live.
