okay fc, shill me some metal albums

I generally prefer things that feel more symphonic vs giant walls of noise/demon screaming

more like: Mastodon, Baroness, Tool
less like: Cannibal Corpse, Lamb of God

latest Dream Theater album, Parasomnia, might be up your alley, probably the heaviest album since Train of Thought, but also very melodic.

if you're into prog-like/epic metal, Australians have plenty to offer: Caligula's Horse, Chaos Divine are two of my favs.

Katatonia, Pyramaze, Evergrey, and Haken come to mind too
