I mostly like the more interesting metal sub-genres, for example, I absolutely love album "Ultimate Darkness" from DarkSeed, it has incredible texts too. SpiRitual is a similar band with ethnic influences. Check this out:

DeadLock is another cool band, you do not see vegan philosophy combined with harsh melodic metal music too often, enhanced by awesome female vocal. Check it out as well:
YouTube - DEADLOCK - Code Of Honor. Heck, I could even create an extra thread about DeadLock
Of course, I like LOADS of other bands, but I thought I should share something interesting.
