[hihello7989]

Kami-no Serperoth

Iron Maiden
Judas Priest
Black Sabbath
Led Zeppelin
Deep Purple
Scorpions (hard rock but still kickass)

the legends

No to be hating or anything because personally...this is one of my all time favorite bands but...led zeppelin wouldn't be considered metal...in the 70's of course it would be considered that but in modern day society, it is considered classic rock.

Bring me the horizon
Bullet for my valentine
Killswitch engage
Black tide
Sky eats airplane
System of a down
