So, there's already a thread for your favourite rock bands. What about metal?
Give a reason, please.
Mine would have to be Opeth. Mikael Akerfeldt has an amazing voice, that can go from beautiful clean singing to a beastly growl instantly. Not to mention that his voice is the same live. Fantastic talent. All songs are extremely epic, and you can never get bored of them, as they are always changing. They also happen to be the band that got me into metal, so that boosts them up as well.
I Dont know about ALL there songs but from the ones iv heard id have to say.... Devil Driver. One: because of their guitarist. Two: Because the singer has a Rough but still understandible voice. (and besides when he screames it sounds awesome!)
My favorite is Death. With every album they put out their sound and musicianship improved and just kept getting better and better. Also, Chuck Schuldiner was an amazing guitarist and vocalist who didn't stick to a certain formula while making music. I think they're the only metal band to have ever given me chills.
