I can't believe i used to listen to Megadeth, Hammerfall and Dragonforce... cheese galore

But there's still some great, mature-sounding metal out there, minus the cheese lol. Mastodon, Electric Wizard, Reverend Bizarre and Opeth are probably the only metal bands i really listen to nowdays. Tool and Faith No More as well if you want to count them as metal.
