I'm a huge heavy metal/thrash metal fan. My very first concert was Pantera & Slayer at the Extreme Steel Tour in 2001. I want to find some new heavy metal bands. Recently I've been getting into Mastodon and they kick ass but I need some more.

This is a good place to ask, there are some friendly folks in there and they seem to talk about a lot of current stuff.

The sizable metal thread that already exists is a good place to start.

Some good current bands I'd suggest; Chimaira, Lamb of God, All Shall Perish, anything Devin Townsend related (The Devin Townsend Band, Strapping Young Lad), Zimmers Hole, The Haunted, Pig Destroyer, Dying Fetus, Soilent Green, Byzantine (though they aren't a band anymore), God Forbid, Meshuggah, Kylesa, Witchcraft, Early Man, Neurosis, Isis, Crowbar, Beyond Fear, Devildriver (only the 2nd and 3rd albums), Nile, (216), Kataklysm, Kreator, Dead Horse.

It can go on and on, I'd say there's enough variety in that list of sub-genre's to check out.

Fuck, somehow I totally forgot to put the link in my post. My cutting finger worked, but my pasting finger totally failed me.

Baroness is a recent favourite, very much akin to older Mastodon (not the new album, though that one rocks too).
Recently saw Neurosis at a brilliant festival in Holland (ROADBURN), cannot understand they flew under my radar for so long. Also playing there: Cathedral, an older British band you might want to check out if you're into the slower, loose-grooving Black Sabbath style. Great b-movie referencing lyrics as well ('Hopkins Witchfinder General').
And for your more extreme tastes (but watch it, this one's -very- leftfield) I can recommend a black metal band from Washington: Wolves In The Throne Room, who you should check out just because they have such a cool name. They sound like the soundtrack to the Battle of Minas Tirith... if the composer was an ORC.

ETA: just thought of another one: CHURCH OF MISERY. Japanese band, guitar player is named Tommy Satan.
