Coming into this I already have some taste for Hardcore Punk, and I can kind of hear the fusion and am finding it appealing in that sense. I recognize Bring Me the Horizon as one of the bands my friend listens to, and I like quite a few of the songs that I've heard of them too.
Also read someone somewhere on here recommended a band called "Enslaved", which I really like.

Well there's traditional heavy metal, such as Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. That leads into thrash, such as early Metallica and Slayer. I assume I don't have to post examples of those.
Then we have extreme metal such as black metal, death metal, grindcore, and certain bands in other genres.
Black Metal
Death Metal
Grindcore
On the more melodic side we have power metal.
Slowing things down with doom metal, a genre of largely Sabbath worship, closely related to stoner and sludge metal. Stoner metal being... like, fuzzed out doom... and ****... don't worry about it since the two genres are so closely linked it can be hard to tell the difference for anyone at times. Sludge metal is sort of like both the above genres but with a heavy hardcore punk influence.
Doom Metal
Stoner Metal
Sludge Metal
Plenty of other kinds of metal out there, but those are some of the biggies and will give you a good start.
