Wow, hard to find another fellow metal head in this forum, it has been a while! Congratulations Cameron on your Axioms, metal cannot sound better than with them. I bought them with metal in mind and auditon. Especially paired with Rotel separates (see my signature).
I mostly listen to European Power metal, but also some traditional Heavy Metal, and Melodic Death (Gotheburg style). I think I beat everybody here in terms of collection: over 400 metal albums, all in CDs. Not too much fan of mp3s, even thought I can connect my ipod to my system. By the way, "To Dust You will Decay" from Angel Dust is one of my favorite albums of all time! I have many favorite bands and keep exploring. Here are some relatively new ones (last ten years or so):
Sonata Arctica
Lost Horizon
Gaia Epicus
Falconer
Persuader
Twilight Guardians
Freternia
Cryonic Temple
Axenstar
Edguy
