Insomnium
Melechesh
Angtoria
Within Temptation

You are awesome for mentioning Insomnium. I discovered that band at the start of this new year, and from the very first song off of Shadows of the Dying Sun I became a fan. I hadn't really heard of them before, but discovered them while stalking the Metal Storm web page. Glad my curiosity was piqued. I want to get the rest of their discography at some point.

I also grabbed Surtur Rising by Amon Amarth, and I want to check out more of their stuff too.

Same for Be'Lakor. I recently bought Stone's Reach and they've grabbed my attention too.

The commonality between all these bands? They're melodic death metal bands. Probably one of my favorite genres in metal right now.

The song that really ignited my interest in the sub-genre as a whole is Dark Tranquillity's song "Feast of Burden".

Favorite band at the moment though is Amorphis. Bought their recent release Under the Red Cloud, and love it. First release of theirs I bought was Tales from the Thousand Lakes, which is a modern classic in my mind. I have quite a few of their other releases as well. I have to say it, the Pasi era had some good songs, but I prefer Tomi Joutsen more as their lead singer. Just seems to have more energy and passion.

I know some people mellow out in musical tastes as they get older, I think I've sort of gone in the opposite direction to some extent, and I'll be 42 soon.

The only metal i've been able to get in to is:

Neurosis, Buried Inside, and Jesu

I like Sludge with Post-Rock interference metal I guess.

[The Lone Ranger]

How about this one? It is heavy metal, and informative about who the adversary is. A Henry Rollins song called "Liar". The devil is the father of all lies.
