Hammock`s advice is pretty good but my favourite two by them are "Twilight in Olympus" and "V:The New Mythology Suite" A couple of great albums and well recommended. Remember, Symphony X are heavily symphonically influenced, so if you don`t like Symphonic metal you may not like them.

Thats exactly what I am so Ill see if I can get that one today thanks.

Hey guys, I've been looking to listen to metal more recently as some of my friends really love it. However, the only bands that are metal and I like are Black Sabbath and Primus. So, any recommendations? (I really despise screaming too, I like to understand the lyrics)

Hmm, than I think you can try Pain of Salvation and Riverside. They are mostly progressive rock/metal so not so heavy music and without screaming.

Hehe, I was also against "screaming" but than I found Opeth....

And story continues...

Pain of Salvation are really quite soft as far as metal is concerned but offer a huge amount of depth, in fact any progressive metal act could be considered here for Samm, as Black Sabbath and Primus on the face of it are very different (despite the fact that nearly every metal group on the planet has a riff or something from Black Sabbath in their make-up)

I know it's different... But when somebody needs some "soft metal", I think they are Ok like recommendation.

That's because it's Pain of Salvation, not Path of Salvation

if you like Sabbath and haven't checked out Kyuss open up youtube right now and start searching.

Rock is stimulating , stimulation can invoke love but it is stimulation and not peaceful, differences that are okay if it is pure joy and happiness and celebration..
