Saxon rocks wildly 
Also I'd like to add that even though a band is stamped with a genre on their forehead, doesnt mean they suck. The music does the talking, not the classifications no-good critics give em
Headbanging, fist clenching, ugly fat guys, sweating, wearing studded leather, in a cellar... It's only gay if you make eye contact
Usurper, Metal Lust

Diamondhead, Blitzkrieg, Saxon... *creams*

Looks like NWOBHM is quite in favour around here.
"Arnor, You're being confused with an entirely different genre."
Not at all, I knew it wasn't the new wave I meant. 
I just wanted to point out that it's a rubbish name...
i'm an aspiring metalhead, any quick suggestions for where to look? ;D i got some of In Flames' stuff, liked it a lot, and now i'm interested in the genre as a whole.
oh and more on topic: i find i also enjoy blood stain child, i like the different instruments they use (for example in the song metropolice) and the different sounds, etc
You like viking metal yet you don't like/know Bathory? Heathen!
Sure Arnor, the fact that the original metal band was British. And that all the bands apart of the NWOBHM genre are all British and came many years after Black Sabbath makes no sense for the genre to be called the new wave.
"New Generation" would have covered it too
but they crested like a wave upon the music scene. It makes more sense then 'New Generation'
Orange:
Seeing how you like In Flames, I suggest you check out Dark Tranquillity, Arch Enemy and At the Gates. They're the same genre as In Flames (Melodic Death). In fact, definitely check out Dark Tranquillity, cause they're second to none.

looked it up on youtube
Bathory - A Fine Day to Die http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=OyYnstGB3rM&feature=related
==> awfully, dreadfully, horrible, ear-paining, grunting trash junk
Bathory - One Rode To Asa Bay http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=hDpc-831GPs&feature=related
==>starting is ok, he has a big nasal sound when he sings, not really 'enjoyable' to listen to, it's also sloooww... music

sorry to pwn ur taste like that, it's just my taste of music, have nothing against u listening to it 
"==> awfully, dreadfully, horrible, ear-paining, grunting trash junk"
You people have no tolerance Bands like 1349 or Burzum are "worse" than Bathory in that aspect, but it's still good. Especially Burzum is fun to listen to. Somehow the sound of an orgasmic tortured kitten appeals to people, I listen to it if I'm in the mood
Anyway, Chees. Do you know/like following bands?
Rhapsody (now known as Rhapsody of Fire), Edguy, Avantasia, Blind Guardian, Iced Earth, Demons & Wizards, DivineFire, DragonForce, Rage, Sonata Arctica, Symphony X, Thunderstone, Zonata, ...
Most of those seem to me are your kind of music
With th exception of dragonforce, thats a pretty good list 
DivineFire have lots of singing. They just have this rougher edge at times, but that's mainly what makes them so awesome.
Avantasia isn't pop (although the last album does have its influences).
I did mean Rage, it's a band and very different from Rage Against the Machin And I don't know where you find the grunt-tendency in Iced Earth. He just has a heavier voice
And no, Burzum isn't better than Bathory. Realise it or not, where Burzum goes for screams, speed, lo-fi recordings and calls that a day, Bathory goes for technical implements, new ideas, viking influences and throughout his career neverending changes. So Burzum doesn't come close
Let us drink to the power drink to the sound
Thunder and metal are shaking the ground
Drink to your brothers who are never to fall
Were all brothers of metal here in the hall
Our hearts are filled with metal and masters we have none
And we will die for metal, metal heals, my son
Brothers of metal
We are fighting with power and steel
Fighting for metal metal thats real
Brothers of metal will always be there
Standing together with hands in the air
CHEESE METAL FOR THE WIN!!!!11!
Gooo manowar
Guys can we do some of our favorate songs from different bands (post links here).
It would be nice to get into different bands if we listen to their better songs. Ill go first (fairly popular songs):
Judas Priest:
Painkiller - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAagedeKdcQ
Diamonds and Rust - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKbeQJuHOsU (dont care much for this live all that much but their studio version is brilliant)
Slayer:
Skeletons of Society - http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=GwHdQjCA82M (underrated song by them...)
X-Japan
Kurenai- http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=CgDdpATtGlM (should be heard by any lovers of speed/power metal)
Im actually a fan of high pitches btw (which is why Halford will remain the Metal god forever x()
Saw dragonforce live (as Edguy and Sabaton were supporting). Edguy bloody rocked, dragonforce were terrible. If they wrote decent lyrics, had some originality (instead of just hammerfall-ripoffs), and actually played their own solos on recordings, maybe i'd take them seriously...
Strange, the live performance I saw (supported by Sabaton) was bloody brilliant. And what you're asking for in lyrics and such is a serious approach, which isn't their goal
Some favourite songs:
Angra - Spread Your Fire
Arch Enemy - Skeleton Dance
Avantasia - The Seven Angels
Battlelore - Elves of L
I can respect that you may not like Bathory Chees but please do not say that you pwned my tastes. Bathory is one of the most influencial metal bands since Black Sabbath. Quorthon created Viking Metal, and had a hand in pioneering/inspiring a lot of black metal. And he did this all as the only true member of Bathory. When he first started making albums he recorded them in his garage. You can even hear the traffic in the background on a lot of the tracks, so thats why the recorded quality of his music isn't all that great. I would also suggest for anyone who wants to know more about Bathory to check out their official site. The wikipedia entry on Quorthon/Bathory is so full of lies that it hurts to even attempt to read it.

Sounds very math-rock EDN!
I can't think of a better song then Battles's Atlas atm:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpGp-22t0lU
EDIT: better example: Foals - Cassius

"Rage (i take it u mean rage against the machine), going towards rap or something, not really my thing"
RATM got mess rap-ish towards the end.. The Battle of LA, their last true album, was the least rap inspired of them all...
I'll do a current top 5ish songs... since listing songs I love would make about as long a list as elties, and that looks like too much effort
Agalloch - ...and the Great Cold Death of the Earth
Eluveitie - Siraxta
Mastodon - Hearts Alive
Death - Flesh and the Power it Holds
Artillery - Don't Believe
Hawkwind - Sleep of a Thousand Tears
remember that I added ish after my 5, thus I was not bound to choosing only five!
edit: why is my smilie not turning into a smilie damnit X(
