Post-metal generally isn't that great, but bands like Agalloch and Opeth frequently abandon lyrical work for compositional efforts. Bear in mind that I am by no means a metalhead. I recommend:
Opeth - Morningrise
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Agalloch - The Mantle
Meshuggah - obZen
Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast
Slayer - Reign in Blood
Takes care of progressive, black, death, power and thrash metal.
