Metal was what I listened to all through high school. These days, I am more into other stuff but I do revisit from time to time, mainly just classics. I like old school death metal (I have a lot of trouble getting into 'tech' and 'brutal' and 'slam' death metal), some old school black metal, a lot of thrash, NWOBHM-type stuff, doom metal, etc. I also like a lot of extreme punk, like crust, grindcore and powerviolence.
Lately I have been listening to a lot of the album Blutsabbath by Belphegor. I think it is their best work by far, replete with amazing riffs and thick with atmosphere but also nearly devoid of the cheese that dominates their later albums. Also been listening to a lot of In Battle There is No Law by Bolt Thrower, really the perfect intersection of crust punk and metal. This thread has reminded me I need to get back into Hellbastard and Hellkrusher... haven't listened to those guys in ages. I highly recommend Hellkrusher - Wasteland, it should appeal to metal fans as well even though it is more on the crust side, particularly if you like the old 90s Swedish death metal sound.

Gorguts's The Erosion of Sanity
Demigod's Slumber of Sullen Eyes
I prefer Considered Dead just slightly to Erosion of Sanity, but EoS is still a masterpiece, as is Slumber of Sullen Eyes, incredible album, there is nothing else like it (well there is, but not quite as good
).
