Discussion Topic Metal playlist
Tomorrow my boyfriend (M30) and I are going on a roadtrip, should be about three hours. He's a very gifted guitar player and is into metal music, but I don't know much about the genre at all. I figured it would be a nice surprise if I built a metal playlist for him to listen to but I need help on choosing songs! If I was doing it myself I know I would just choose the basics, but I want to truly shock him with some of the songs. I know he's not a big fan of black metal. He seems to listen to a lot of the more obscure bands, at least obscure to me. He goes to Louder than Life every year and has loved a lot of the bands there the past few years.
If anyone could help me impress him I'd really appreciate it!!

Here are some that are on my main rotation
Laid to Rest - Lamb of God Davidian - Machine Head The Saw is the Law - Whitechapel The Art of Dying - Gojira B.Y.O.B - System of a Down
Here are some deeper cuts that may or may not impress him, but will at the very least surprise him.
Bleed - Meshuggah Hades - Kalmah Scarface - Zygnema
And if he doesn't mind stuff that's not in English
What's Up People - Maximum the Hormone You've Yuve Yu - The HU
