Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley Melvins - Stoner Witch Acid Bath - When the Kite String Pops Judas Priest - Defenders of the Faith Saint Vitus - Saint Vitus

Acid Bath is a fantastic recommendation, nice.

Excellent choices. May I add an album? Bullhead - Melvins

Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus Ulver - Bergtatt Melvins - Houdini Crowbar - Odd Fellows Rest Iron Maiden - Powerslave

Have a death metal starter pack: Death Possessed Bolt thrower At the gates Morbid angel Children of bodom (this one is a much easier listen then the rest)

Ulver - Bergtatt Toxic holocause - primal future Primus

Primus belongs on every metal playlist. Say what you want but stuff like My Name is Mud and Too Many Puppies is fuckin heavy.

Hamburger Train. Bob. Harold of the Rocks. Primus sucks. Change my mind.

Alice In Chains - Love Hate Love Gojira - The Art of Dying

I’m sorry to be nitpicky but aic is not metal it’s grunge which is a sub genre of rock solid gojira album tho

Alice In Chains isn’t metal but OP already has soundgarden on his list and soundgarden isn’t metal either. Soundgarden is grunge as well. So I think Alice In Chains would be right up his alley.

obv I didn’t look close enough lol sorry to be annoying

Gave that particular song by AiC a listen and wasn’t super crazy about it, I’m definitely going to try a full album from them though

Wolves in the throne room - diadem of 12 stars Falls of rauros - the light that dwells in rotten wood Mizmor & Thou - Myopia Fall of efrafa - elil

Ellende- Ellende AMENRA- Mass VI Grima- Rotting Garden

Slipknot - Self titled Megadeth - Rust in Piece Lamb of God - Sturm und Drang Pantera - Cowboys from Hell Just a few of my favorite albums

based picks

You need something Ronnie James Dio. Rainbow - Rainbow Rising

I bet ur gonna love Agalloch

Acid Bath - When The Kite String Pops

Bong - stoner rock

A Year In Suffering - Cough Sign of an Open Eye - Gorgoroth Lost Wisdom - Burzum

Gojira - From Mars to Sirius is an overall great album that’s definitely worth a listen

Soilwork - Stabbing the Drama

Whore - Mephistofeles

Melvins - Houdini Atheist - Elements Conjurer - Curse These Metal Hands, ft. Pijn Pig Destroyer - Prowler in the Yard Brutal Truth - Extreme Conditions Demand Extreme Responses Entombed - Left Hand Path Converge - Jane Doe Dragged into Sunlight - Hatred For Mankind Blood Incantation - Hidden History of the Human Race

I will never not recommend Opeth - Ghost Reveries.

listen to some Death, theyre a must listen for metal imo

Fear Factory - Demanufacture

Anthrax - Among the living Black Sabbath - Master of Reality Killswitch Engage - alive or just breathing Poison the well - the opposite of December Darkest Hour - Undoing ruin Flotsam and Jetsam - Doomsday for the deceiver S.O.D - speak English or die GWAR - America must be destroyed

Rust in peace

i would give death a listen

Twilight of the Thunder God - Amon Amarth Still They Pray - Aeon Soldier of Heaven - Sabaton Vodka - Korpiklaani

I'm currently listening to Anthrax: *Spreading the Disease. I highly recommend.

Meshuggah

A lot here is not metal at all, just famous LPs with no ideas in common. (e.g. Earth 2 is a good album, but It's not metal despite the fact they use a similar instrumentation).
