I have A LOT of favourite bands, mostly Black metal, but, that is my preferred genre - including Death metal. 

Black & Death metal bands
- Death
- Mayhem
- Slayer
- Craft
- Urghal
- Veil
- Bathory
- Gorgoroth
- Immortal
- Venom
- Vlad Tepes
- Behemoth
- Dark Funeral
- Darkthrone
- Burzum
- Emperor
- Cannibal Corpse
- Morbid Angel
- Entombed

DSBM bands
- Thy Light
- Veil
- Lifelover
- Silencer
- Abyssic Hate
- Psychonaut 4
- Austere 
- Nocturnal Depression
- Trist
- Sorry...
- Leviathan
- Happy Days
- Totalselfhatred

A LOT of these are Black metal, or the sub-genre (DSBM - Depressive Suicidal Black Metal) but as I said - that is my preferred genre of metal. But I did add some Death & Thrash metal into my list.

NO SHAME HERE!
Ive just listened to so many bands over the past 4 years...
If you want a good website dedicated strictly to metal - here!

https://www.metal-archives.com/

They have every band, probably known to man on here - only if it's metal though...
They have info and stuff for any metal band you look up, and a forum you can visit too! They are more strict on what you do on there though than on here...^^; I've been active on there for 3yrs...lol. 
You can write reviews on albums, and EPs - ONLY if they are completed Albums though. They have more detail on what you can do when you join...

They DO have a general thread for off-topic non-metal discussion, called 'The Tavern' - but if you go outside of the general discussion thread, PLEASE - I recommend you keep the discussions metal based. :) Enjoy the info, and suggestions and website!!!

Oh boy, where do I even begin? There are so many bands out there... These are in no particular order of which is better or anything like that, and I don't really bother with keeping up with subgenre labels anymore, so it's a bit of a jumbled together mashup of different genres:

  • Metallica (although I prefer their older material, pre-Black Album)
  • Megadeth
  • Kreator
  • Sodom
  • Slayer
  • Motorhead
  • Judas Priest
  • Metal Church
  • Quo Vadis
  • Cynic
  • Beyond Creation
  • Rivers of Nihil
  • Septicflesh
  • Godflesh Apocalypse
  • Amon Amarth (probably one of my absolute favorite metal bands of all time)
  • Testament
  • Enslaved
  • Electric Wizard
  • Sleep
  • High on Fire
  • Nevermore
  • Sanctuary
  • The Obsessed
  • St. Vitus
  • Pagan Alter
  • Witchcraft
  • Venom
  • Carcass
  • Hypocrisy
  • Pantera
  • Tyr
  • Celtic Frost
  • Toxic Holocaust
  • Midnight
  • Type O-Negative
  • Candlemass
  • Death
  • Devin Townsend Project
  • Strapping Young Lad
  • Dio
  • Soilwork
  • In Flames
  • King Diamond
  • Mercyful Fate
  • Sabaton
  • Orchid
  • Eluveitie
  • Ensiferum
  • Turisas
  • Finntroll
  • Municipal Waste
  • Iron Reagan
  • Iron Maiden
  • Cattle Decapitation
  • Obituary
  • Cannibal Corpse
  • Suffocation
  • Accept
  • Power Trip
  • Ihsahn
  • Exmortus
  • Dark Tranquility
  • Black Label Society
  • Angel Witch
  • Black Sabbath

This is by no means the end all, be all of my list of favorite bands. These are just the ones I could remember off the top of my head (and maybe with a little help from my Spotify list, but we'll just keep that between us 😅).

Regarding Amon Amarth, they are currently on tour in the US right now, and last weekend they played at the Fillmore in Charlotte, NC. That was one hell of a show they put on. The openers for them were really good too. If y'all ever get a chance to go see AA live, do it. You won't regret it. You guys been to any shows recently?
