    Well I dont have 2+ hours to rattle off the bands I like, so what do you currently listen to?

    Also by Heavy metal are you meaning the generic meaning or the true meaning?

    Metal is broken up into about 30-40 sub-genres, and heavy metal is just one.

    Ill list the most Famous bands for each genre.

    Thrash: Metallica

    80's Hair Metal: Bon Jovi, Guns N Roses, Van Halen, Motley Crue

    NWOBM: Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden

    Heavy Metal: Deep Purple, Led Zepplin

    Grunge Metal: Alice in Chains

    Sludge/Southern: Black Label Society

    Grindcore: Pantera

    Death: Opeth, Crimson Death, Death & Cannibal Corpse, Amorphis, Bathory

    Nu-Metal: Korn

    Gothic Metal: Evanescence (They are actually Gothic rock), but the bands sound similar.Of Note would be Lacuna Coil

    Black Metal: Children of Bodom, Dimmu Borgir

    If you never listened to Metallica's (80's till early 90's) songs you should try it (coz you didn't mentioned it)...just listened to their Master of Puppets,Creeping Death,Sanatarium,Seek & Destroy and many more...pure heavy metal songs! Try also Cradle of Filth,Slipknot (?),Nightwish (lady as vocalis),HIM,Trivium,Rammstein...If you want more brutal,Deicede,Mayhem,Emperor,Dark Funeral,Burzum,Dimmu Borgir...but they're not a new band though
