Loads of people say to check out Coheed & Cambria if you like Tool. I don't like C&C at all, but that's what everyone seems to rec.
I'm also terribly ignorant of the metal scene past the 2000's, bar stuff like Deafheaven & Mastodon that I really enjoy.
Aiden Cook
Ghost is also a very good band. They're unique with their music and aesthetics.
Nicholas Brooks
>Dream Theater
Good list otherwise.

I actually have listened to Ghost, a friend told me to check them out. I think I listened to Meliora.
I wasn't too sold on it to be honest, but I feel like they're one of those bands you have to see live to really "get" them.

While I think covered it best, I'll do my take.

Nostro dis pater,

Dominic Allen
Zero bait, my negro. I fucking love the abrasive scooped guitars (the only metal album where scooping the mids sounds good) and the proggy songwriting. Literally the only downside IMO is that "To Live Is To Die" runs for too long. Everything else, especially the title track, is a masterpiece.
Liam Flores
Neurosis and Agalloch and also Devin and Townsend
James Sanchez
black metal is the only metal I like. most black metal I dislike as well but here's some I do like.
Henry Ward

lol what? for best metal albums?
And Deep Purple is great but were never metal. I'd go with In Rock though
Kevin Cook
Metal is for children.
Nathan Turner
If you don't like it then why are you giving it the attention?
William Powell
Most of the stuff itt's pretty great, but Imma post some slightly lesser known stuff that I think has a good chance of being considered top tier.
>The Lord Weird Slough Feg (or just Slough Feg) - Traveller
This is a trad metal album with trad riffs but more complex Old School Death Metal-esque structures compared to most trad's structure which is closer to hard rock music's so there are more riffs here than most trad albums as each song develops a lot (and some of the longer ones even have changes in mood.) The vocalist Mike Scalzi's has a very distinct voice, and his lyrics which are based in the world of sci fi RPG system Traveller, are actually pretty well written if you look into the lyrics more deeply. All this being said, the album is surprisingly tough to digest for some as Scalzi's distinct voice can take some time to get used to depending on who you are and if you aren't used to the more complex song structure the riffs will just whiz by you with you not remembering a thing.

>Infester - To the Depths... In Degradation
There's shades of Florida OSDM's technical intensity, New York OSDM's slower brutal bits, and European OSDM's almost black metal-esque usage of tremolos in here. Very occasional synth bits, too. But not only are they from Seattle, you probs won't care about all this when you listen to this. You'll notice first that this album has one of the filthiest production jobs done on a death metal album, and those vocals are not only unique but deranged. It's something that definitely may take time to get used to, but the production and vocals really take the atmosphere to the next level of dark that's not usually seen in death metal. So it's that unique atmosphere and the variety of riffing the band transitions through that really makes this a great death metal record. It's 54 minutes long though so it can come off as exhausting if you go at the whole thing in one go.

>دمار (Damaar) - Triumph Through Spears Of Sacrilege
My favorite of the war metal kind of black metal albums. Arabic guys from Lebanon making anti Islam black metal. Interesting premise, no? The vocalist has a higher pitched shriek rather than the typically lower pitched vocals of this type of music which makes them stand out rather than be muddy with the rest of the music, and the delivery's something else, too. There's this wall of sound production on the guitars which are playing these grindy black metal riffs so the whole thing sounds like it's enveloping you while those vocals are hitting you directly.

>Warhorse - As Heaven Turns To Ash
I have mentioned this record on here every opportunity I get. To me, Electric Wizard's Dopethrone has one of the best tones and atmospheres of any doom metal record. But it kinda lacks in terms of riffs where it often sticks to just a couple for entire tracks, not a lot the artists are communicating. With this album, that thick as fuck sound not only gets a little tweak, but most importantly there's creative riffing for days on this album, it's doesn't feel like it drags like Dopethrone does at times. This album constantly riffs without giving up the atmosphere that would potentially be lost by riffing so much.
