OK, here are some of the bands I like:

Arch Enemy - listen to "Wages of Sin" if you don't know them
Behemoth
Decapitated
Emperor
Entombed
Firewind, but damn did they suck when I saw them live :(
Hypocrisy - some of their stuff
Megadeth
Meshuggah
Metallica
Necrophagist (you have to listen to this one if you don't know it - especially the first album)
Nevermore
Nile
Opeth (some stuff)
Symphony X
Testament
Theory in Practice
Witchery

There's more, but that should give you an idea.

 

 I actually know a good number of those bands.  Necrophagist I didn't like on first impression - a little too focused on technicality and not on the music, but I suppose I should look a little deeper.  Nile, I've also been meaning to look into.  I love Arch Enemy, Meshuggah and Emperor, like Behemoth, Nevermore, Metallica, Slayer, Symphony X and Opeth.  Megadeth, I've heard Rust in Peace, and I really like the guitar, but the vocals were kinda eh.  What would I like from the other stuff?
