I love metal just as much as anyone on here (actually, probably more), but Queens of the Stone Age? Seriously. Pelican is legit, and Mastadon is good, but not great.
Metal is sort of at a crossroads. They're aren't a lot of amazing metal bands anymore, and the future is uncertain. Allow me to recommend you some bands I know you'd love though.
-At the Gates is the greatest metal band ever, and Slaughter of the Soul is their masterpiece. It absolutely owns anything and everything.
-Botch, We Are the Romans. Essential schooling for anyone who claims to like any form of metal or hardcore. Very innovative and absolutely incredible.
-Converge. Alright, Jane Doe and You Fail Me are both modern masterpieces. I would venture to say this is the best band in (heavy) music today. Gods among men.
-Isis. Pelican wouldn't exist without these guys. One of the best metal bands still going today.
-Coalesce. Ditto for these guys.
-Also, anything by A Life Once Lost, Today is the Day, or the newer stuff by Between the Buried and Me.
I know a lot of these bands have long since called it quits, but the music they made is still poignant today. Especially if you're like Georgey here and moved to the metal capital of the midwest.
