This is an easy one, absolutely no contest, it has to be BLACK DYKE, the whole band is made of metal.....(well, brass mainly)

New Band
Acutally i was search for mp3's the other night when i came across a band called Metalium (no not metallica!). They are a kick ass speed metal band. If you can download the song Steel Avengers or break out by Metalium. As far as favorite metal band my vote is split between Iron Maiden or old Metallica.

Seals & Croft, Air Supply, The Carpenters . . . 😛 
Actually if we're talking metal I have to give my nod to the godfathers of heavy metal, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. AC/DC's also one of my favorite bands, but I don't want to start a bickering over whether they're hard rock or heavy metal. Beyond that, I plead the fifth for fear of having amps thrown at my head. 🙄

HEAVY Metal...
Brigade of Guards, UK. When they're not doing sentry-go at Buckingham Palace, they're the armored fist of the British Army. Until you've seen a Challenger tank, you haven't seen heavy metal...

Reminds me of an old Bloom County comic series where Opus, Bill the Occasionally Dead Cat and Hodge-Podge formed "Billy and the Boingers". (Yes, I even had the "U Stink but I Luv U" record).
Opus the Pengiun showed up in Gene Simmons make-up with a tuba. Steve Dallas asked him "Heavy Metal?"
Opus replies "No...Weighty Brass..."

BLACK SABBATH-- Undoubtabley the finest metal band ever. No band can claim to have been more important to metal than the original Sabbath. One of the best concerts I've ever seen.
JUDAS PRIEST-- The band that paved the metal highway for Metallica and all bands that followed. Tipton and Downing were the original double axe attack. Rob Halford can sing opera like Pavoratti and one song later he can be as gruff as Lemmy, which brings me to the next band....
MOTORHEAD-- Raw as metal gets. Warts n all.
VENOM-- A band that disolved before their prime. In the early 80's their volatile lyric content made them tabu for radio. By today's standards they would still be shocking. Before Metallica there was Venom! Cronos removed all the frets on his bass from the 9th fret down. Mantis was one of the most under rated guitarists.
MICHAEL SCHENKER-- Wether it be UFO, Scorpions, or solo material. The three best guitar players of all time are Hendrix, Jeff Beck, and Michael Schenker.
--------------------------
Iron Maiden was one of my favorites, but Bruce Dickinson could never back up the material at live shows. The Live After Death album is heavily edited and overdubbed.

WallStreet, thanks for reminding me of Judas Priest, I can't belive I left them out, as well as Motorhead!
Priest was a great band, I just wish they hadn't tried to get synthetic with Turbo.
On the subject, here's another band I liked in Metal and you're gonna laugh, I know.
Twisted Sister.
I didn't really like the band all that much, I was just a fan of Dee Snider. I always got the impression that he was a great vocalist trapped in a bad band. Even though most of Sister's songs were rather dopey (with the exception of "The Price"), Dee always sang his heart out, a lot of inflections and control.
I had a picture of my older sister with Dee back when they were playing clubs in the NY/NJ area, and back when they were called "Twisted Sister" for a reason, wearing women's clothes. Nothing like seeing Jay Jay French in a Maid's outfit...
A note about my inclusion of the band Warlock...does anyone remember them? They were one of the few True Metal bands with a female singer, Doro Pesch. Man, could she belt it out! She was kinda hot, too. I saw Warlock live at one of the Castle Donnington fests back in the '80's, and she was doing the Xena thing before Xena was. They were a German band, the Germans really having put forth some of the best metal in the '80's.
Does anyone else wonder why more Metal bands didn't have female singers? You'd think that the sonic range would suit a female voice perfectly. Most of the female "metal" bands; Vixen, Lita Ford, et.al., were of the pop-metal variety.
There was one besides Warlock that was pretty decent and that was a band called Bitch. No kidding. All of their songs were about bondage, and the singer was hot! If you think the songs were cool, you should have seen thier live show...he he he...

I haven't been into metal for a few years, but Pantera would have to be my favorite as well.
Although, I was fairly taken in 1998 when Rammstein made their big break in the U.S.

Not a huge fan of "classic" heavy metal like you all describe. Bands like Pantera, Slayer, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden never really did it for me. And I never liked that 80s metal stuff...all with the same sound and long hair..shudder. Slipknot all the way baby.😎

for 80's metal I was into anthrax, metallica, and megadeth.....
nowadays, it is hard for me to really define heaavy metal, but I like what I have heard from slipknot, marilyn manson's stuff was cool up until the last album, and I think kittie is just fucking awesome on principle alone (4 pissed off 15 year old canadian girls that completely rooooooock)I would consider Tool metal, and if they aren't THE metal band of the last ten years, I'll kiss your ass
when I think of metal, I like to think of bigger, faster, and louder, and 2 other bands that fit onto this category for me are ministry (the psalm 69 album is pretty guitar oriented) and the most insane shit being laid down by anyone today is probably from Atari Teenage Riot.
maybe not all metal, but at least in the spirit of metal.

Not really into metal anymore, but 4 of the all-time best metal records would have to be:
"Louder Than Love" - Soundgarden
"Highway To Hell" - AC/DC
"Heaven and Hell" and "Paranoid" - Black Sabbath

I respect Ozzy Osbourne more than any other Metal musicians ("Mr. Crowley" holds my all-time favorite guitar solo.). Other bands on the top of my list are Megadeth, System of a Down, and Linkin Park. I love speed metal and metal that puts a lot of emphasis on melody. However, (Please don't burn me at the stake for complaining about one of the most popular songs today!) I cannot stand songs like "Bodies", by Drowning Pool, which although it may be a good song to listen to if you're working out, there's very little musical skill or talent exhibited in that song. I may not have the best hearing in the world (Damn those automatic weapons!), but isn't there only three chords to that whole song?
