Been listening to Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath for most of my life, and have in recent years turned my ears to other great metal bands like Judas Priest, Saxon, Guns'n'Roses and Nightwish.
Anyway, I like most of the metal music that comes from the bands who started in the 70' and 80', but there are a few good bands that have appeared in recent years (Hammerfall, Nightwish and Within Temptation).

How can you just go through an Iron Maiden phase? Usually once you like Maiden, you like Maiden forever.
I know I couldn't go through a Judas Priest phase, all I have to do is get "Point Of Entry" and I'll have all their good albums. Well, that's disregarding "Unleashed In The East" since that's a live album which supposedly has superior versions of some of the studio songs but I'm still probably not going to bother with that album...

I have to admit that is really, really weird.

fact.
Well, besides having been riding the Mastodon train ever since Crack the Skye came out, I've been listening to a lot of Death, mostly from their album The Sound of Perserverance. I love the album because it's very death metal, but strangely jazzy at times.

Death is freakin' awesome! Shame that Chuck got that brain tumor and died.
I only have listened to their Symbolic album but I definitely know I need to check out their other stuff. Probably will go with the album you mentioned next since they got a cover of Judas Priest's "Painkiller" on it.

Seriously, though, I'm not that big a metal fan. I tend to prefer the "proto-metal" of the 70s. One indication: I like Dio better when he was in Rainbow with Ritchie Blackmore than I do his Black Sabbath stuff.

I like Dio's Black Sabbath stuff more than Ozzy's Black Sabbath stuff to be honest. Still haven't listened to the new album though.
