stone sour is okay and slipknot suck. cmon... they have some listenable songs, but they're highly overrated. i'm sick of hearing one of my colleagues talking about slipknot.
my favourite band would probably be Cult of Luna... next in the list may be Atreyu, though their last album didn't feel as good as the other ones. I also like Between the Buried and Me and Number Twelve Looks Like You a lot. You guys should also give a listen to Raein, Saetia and Daitro.
by the way, best metallica album ever was ride the lightning followed by and justice for all. i also love master of puppets obviously, but these are my favourites. :P
And I can't stand listening to a whole Iron maiden or manowar album. it bores the hell out of me, same for dragonforce. i know they are very good musicieans... but too much leather-spikes-shred metal bores me.
