(Disclaimer: I haven't read any of this thread)
Oh my god, I love metal. eff off with your judgement. I see your judgement and raise you a "eff off". You've probably got other problems to worry about. At least I hope you do, otherwise that basement you're living in at your mom's house may need some cleaning, mainly the urine bottles and pizza hut boxes.
Anyway, here are a few of my favorite songs/albums/artists atm. They may or may not be "metal" again: eff the eff off. These also expand frequently.
-Everything from Meshuggah. I've got the entire discography including Fredrik Thordendal's Special Defects album "Sol Niger Within". Yes I actually bought it. Way too much money. One of my favorites from them for years:
-This band. Their latest album. Just everything is great. Loving this song (which is actually two different ones on the album).
-TerresacT. I liked the original band better (linked).
-One of the best instrumentals I've ever heard.

-Kids these days...
-Literally a million plays. I love these guys
-Hipster pick?
I could literally go on and on and on. I've got the Lamb of God discography, Mudvayne discography (L.D. 50 is one of my favorite albums of all time and probably their best), Slipknot, Mushroomhead, Opeth, Textures, After the Burial, Born of Osiris, etc. etc. etc. etc. (all discographies).
People think I'm depressed or some crap when I crank this aforementioned pure gold, I just shake my head and laugh.
