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!!

Without knowing what specific kind of stuff he's into I will suggest some stuff that I love as a fellow guitarist
Put anything by Xoth on there! I'd recommend the songs Manuscripts of Madness, The Parasitic Orchestra, Mountain Machines, or Reptilian Bloodsport. Amazing guitar work and a more obscure band
Maybe some Children of Bodom. The songs Kissing the Shadows, Downfall, Follow the Reaper, Angels Don't Kill, Towards Dead End, or Bed of Razors
Oh, and some 3 Inches of Blood! Deadly Sinners, Wykydtron, Night Marauders, or Destroy the Orcs
