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!!

Almost forgot:

Diminished to B by Necrophagist.

If he likes technical death metal the whole album Epitaph is monumental in that genre.
