So anyway, I've been investigating heavy metal bands a lot lately and was wondering if anyone could recommend some to me. At the moment, I'm mostly enjoying Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Budgie, Metallica, Slayer, Rage Against the Machine, Opeth, Death and Slough Feg.
Hmm well let's see.

If you like Black Sabbath you'll most likely enjoy doom metal bands like:
  • Cathedral
  • Candlemass
  • Pentagram

Metallica and Slayer:
  • Kreator
  • Sepultura
  • Exodus
  • Overkill

Judas Priest:
  • Nevermore
  • Communic
  • Iron Maiden (obviously)
  • Saxon
  • Accept

Rage Against the Machine:
  • WarsawpacK (not technically a metal band, but best described as if RATM took a chill pill)
  • Rehab (again not really metal, but a good blend of hip hop and rock)

Opeth:
  • In Vain
  • Cynic
  • Bloodbath
  • In Mourning

Death:
  • Control Denied
  • Atheist
  • Obituary
  • Carcass (their later work like Heartwork and Swansong
  • Morbid Angel

Slough Feg (Good choice BTW):
  • Devin Townsend

Slough Feg is a pretty unique band with not a lot of similar sounding artists, but if you like them then you definitely need to check out Devin Townsend.
