Newbie needing reccomendations

Gday. I'm sorry about my other post, I didn't realise it was in the wrong section. Anywy, again , I am a newbie needing reccomendations.
I like Nu Metal (Linkin Park, Static X, etc), SOAD, slipknot, mudvayne, metallica, Children of bodom, Korn, Disturbed, etc.
Agin, no rascist, anti-christian or satanic bands are to be reccomended, please. Also, I heard of a band from Adeleide (Aus) thats pretty cool, anyone know (It is heavy metal).
Sorry to bother you all.
Thankyou!

Try real metal. Although, the only problem with that is...

Most of the good ones fall into this category.

But there are plenty of great bands that aren't blatantly anti-Christian. Since you're into nu-metal, try some melodic death metal and/or stuff like that:

In Flames (you'd probably be drawn to their more recent material; I urge you to go back farther to their first five albums though)
Amon Amarth (melodic death metal; all about vikings n' shit)
Amorphis (melodic death/folk/progressive metal; try all their albums except Far From the Sun and Am Universum; give those a listen later if you want)
Borknagar (melodic avant garde black metal; try Quintessence, The Archaic Course, The Olden Domain, and Empiricism)


These are just off the top of my head, and there are tons more I could give you; but others will give you some too. Give these a listen and see what you think. You may very well find some lyrical material that you find objectionable in this music. As I said before, most good metal bands don't exactly write pro-Christian lyrics.

Yea, seriously, I'm an atheist and have a lot of insults to sling at Christians...but I never thought of even thinking 'your deity is so emo as to be upset by certain genres of music', that just seems way too fuckin silly to me.

Amon Amarth - Versus the World
Dark Tranquillity - The Gallery
Dark Tranquillity - The Mind's I
Hypocrisy - Abducted
In Flames - The Jester Race
Carcass - Heartwork (don't be put off by the name...they're vegans)
