BQ: What’s your favorite type of metal and also can you recommend me some other good metal bands based on my top 10?
Thanks guys i’ll have to check those out.Though i do like metal i’m not really all that big on it; so i don’t know a whole lot of other good bands out there.
1) IRON MAIDEN
2) METALLICA
3) NIGHTWISH
4) EPICA
5) PRIMORDIAL
6) DEATH
7) BOLT THROWER 
MOONSORROW
9) DEATH ANGEL
10) ELUVEITIE
(Amazingly to me, that about half of those weren’t even on my radar 4 years ago.)
BQ: seems like you enjoy stuff like Symphonic and Progressive Metal, and have no issues with extreme. I like a lot of that stuff too, though my absolute favorite is Folk Metal, in all it’s varieties, whether Progressive, Death, Black or whatever based. Thrash is next, followed by Melodic Black. And combining ANY of the above with Prog is always a plus.
so, on top of the bands listed in my top 10?
Atheist
Obscura
Mekong Delta
Watchtower
Silent Streams of Godless Elegy
Negura Bunget
Enslaved
Sigh
Therion
Leaves Eyes
Within Temptation
ReVamp
Agalloch
are a few off the top of my head.
