A new good metal band, comparable to the classics, like Iron Maiden?
Posted on April 24th, 2010 by The Militia in Classic MetalI need a new metal band to start listening to. I say this, because I’ve heard all that the current metal bands I listen to have to offer. I own all 14 of the Iron Maiden studio albums, the first five Metallica albums, The first four Judas Priest albums, Paranoid and Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath, Peace Sells… but Who’s Buying? and Rust In Peace by Megadeth, Holy Diver by Dio, along with others and I want to find new good classic metal that isn’t totally thrash and screaming. I like very melodic metal (hence the Iron Maiden obsession)

Nevermore is pretty badass =/.
Iced Earth as well.
Candlemass (Epic doom, but oh well).

Get Megadeth – Cryptic Writings and Clutch(all their albums).
Edit: Oh melodic, forget about clutch then. Check Kalmah out.

I listen to all the bands you listen to, Iron Maiden being my Gods.
But newish metal bands that I listen to are;
Kamelot
Dream Theater
In Flames (they pass and besides, Jesper is awesome)
Machine Men – I think you may really like these guys
Scar Symmetry
Then there’s Volbeat, they are rockabilly more than anything, but they are awesome.

I have 6 maiden album (#of the beast,powerslave,killers,piece of mind,fear of the dark,seventh son) and I would definately recomend mastodon. they have a long future ahead of them and are great now. in fact they just released an album in 2009.
wish I could give you more, but it’s kind of hard to find bands these days like saxon, priest, and maiden.

Metal is not what it once was, this is why I don’t bother seeing who’s "big" in metal today, or should I say nu metal? Long live the 80’s when metal did rule the world!

Watchtower
they only have a couple of albums but are really golden and I think it’s like progressive thrash Judas Priest.
And… also try Iced Earth, it’s my favorite power metal band.
