Hey all!

[Corvus]

As you may have gathered, I'm new here. I'm a fellow music lover. These are currently my favorite bands: Breaking Benjamin, Dead By April, Deftones, Dimmu Borgir, Escape the Fate, Five Finger Death Punch, In Flames, Linkin Park, Meshuggah, My Dying Bride, System of a Down and Underoath. If anyone has any recommendations for me based on these bands, I'd love to hear them. Hope to get to know you all!

Hi Corvus, welcome to MD.

That is a nice list of heavier bands!

Here's a list that I think you'll enjoy (or at least enjoy most of them):
Acacia Strain, Heaven Shall Burn, Terror, Madball, Shadows Fall, Paradise Lost, Katatonia, Opeth, Otep, Corrosion of Conformity, Soilwork, Intronaut, Dimension Zero, Ghost, Iced Earth, Voivod, Strapping Young Lad, Amon Amarth, Tyr, Nevermore, Death, Sentenced, Chmaira, The Black Dalia Murder, Emperor, Ihsahn, Isis, Cryptopsy and Mastodon

I can give you more recommendations once you see which of these you like the most.

I like Shadows Fall the most. I like Paradise Lost, Katatonia, Amon Amarth and TBDM. I didn't like Iced Earth much. As for the rest, haven't listened yet.
