I'm a big music lover (like a lot of other people), so now I'm looking for some new bands to listen to. If you can suggest me a good band, I'll add you to my whitelist, so you can participate in my (first) giveaway. I'm giving away Real Boxing™, I know it is not much, but as soon as I get some more money, I'll probably give away a bigger game (or more).

So I'm really into metal, so please don't suggest anything other then that. The bands I'm currently really enjoying are:

Iron Maiden (my favourite ever since I started listening to them)
Satan
Arch Enemy
Amon Amarth
Megadeth
Skid Row

And some others. So please suggest some bands (even some of the bigger names) and a song (or two) that I should check out from them. I will whitelist you for this giveaway if I think the band is (even if it is just a little) good. So if you suggest anything in the metal, you are almost certain to be whitelisted.

The giveaway will start today in 3 hours (August 16, 13:00 in the Netherlands) and end after two weeks (as I'm not sure how long it will take for a reasonable amount of people to participate), so on 30 August at 13:00. The giveaway is for any level.

And for the ones added to my whitelist, here is the giveaway.

Is Airbourne a big name? Are they "metal"? I have literally no idea. But they're pretty solid.

Anthrax, Metallica, Sepultura, Faith No More, Helloween, Bolt Thrower, Black Sabbath and Slayer are all classics as far as I'm concerned.

Enforcer are a newer band with an old skool sound that a lot of my friends are into. A few more links that metalhead friends have sent me recently;

I'm OK with the newer Metallica stuff but I did myself prefer the older stuff! Also, I have enjoyed your discussion and found many great recommendations!

Yeah, I'm gonna have a lot of new music to listen to when I get back to school and have to travel for 5 hours per day. I got way more recomendations then I expected in a very short time.

I really like the band Sleep, which is a stoner metal and doom metal outfit. Although I equally like most of their records, people reference the album Dopesmoker the most. Perhaps it's something that you enjoy.

Personally, I love My Dying Bride <3
Novermbers Doom are pretty fine too, in my opinion. Both are doom metal; MDB is more melodic while Novembers Doom is a bit harder.

The bands I can suggest are:
Protest the Hero, try Bloodmeat and Blindfold Aside, but I personnaly can't find a bad song of theirs;
Mudvayne, try Happy? and Forget to Remember, but some songs are quite different in style;
In Flames, all songs are great great, can't single out any.
Sorry, can't provide you with links, it's too cumbersome to do it with cell phone.
