Hammerfall - can never really get enough of them.
I especially like Way of the Warrior. On earphones and really, really LOUD setting. Then I sing to the lyrics. Works like 220v right into the brain.
Other songs aint bad either - Templars of Steel, The Metal Age etc, altough I'm not really sure if I like their most recent album. Most of the songs just aint got the same feel like the older albums. And I definitely don't like those weak pieces that were present in Crimson Thunder album.
Manowar - a few of their songs are actually nice. Hail and Kill (HAIL! HAIL! HAIL-AND-KILL!), Dawn of Battle, Return of the Warlord and Battle Hymns are fairly decent.
Amon Amarth - sometimes I just get so f***ing depressed. So then I fire up either Legend or Death in Fire tracks and after a few repeats I get a lot psyched up. Just what I need these times.
Ensiferum - Some Viking Metal doesn't hurt from time to time
Thyrfing - see Ensiferum...
I'm not really sure if Inkubus Sukkubus qualifies as Gothic Metal or not. Some of their songs seem like that, and at the same time some don't.

well, if you live in denmark, just take a trip a few miles south to the "Wacken Open Air Festival 2005" this august. It's in germany's far north and one of the world's biggest Metal-festivals.

Wacken... where did I hear this name... Ah-ha! Hammerfall once did a live play there, right?
