Try Galactic Cowboys a combination of Nirvana, Anthrax with Beatles inspired Melodies!!!

There are also a number of nordic prog metal bands such as Amorphis and Evergrey etc that on some of their albums, play very subdued metal.

@2xdown

Thanks, galactic cowboys are really cool : - )
I think you might like "gaye" metal like Euro-Power metal bands like Blind Gaurdian. By gaye I mean the jovial folkie sing-a-along choruses that puts the listener in high spirits, that BG is great at. Or maybe you might like something operatic like Therion's "Secret of the Runes", which is a metal take on the rock opera taken to it's full extreme. Both bands have a fair share of classical influence. Amorphis is an excellent band, but you're going to have to work your up up to them because they can be very harsh...so be careful

are you into hair metal?

Enuff Z'nuff's s/t and Skid Row's Slave to the Grind is pretty good for that type of thing

Neurosis
Isis
Pelican
Rosetta
The Ocean
Minsk

If you are a fan of those bands, check out these guys as well:


"Sins" by Irreversible is a great album. Should give it a listen if you have not.

Add Cult of Luna and your list of recommendations is now complete. IMO, Isis is tops.
