Good metal is really something that's specific to the listener. You might think what I call good metal is crap.
Having said that, I'll make my most recent metal acquisition as a recommendation - PROBOT. This is a Dave Grohl project and it's basically him fulfilling his childhood dream of playing with some of the biggest metal gods of the 80's. Guest vocalists include such classic metalheads as Lenny Kilmister (Motorhead), King Diamond (Mercyful Fate) and Max Cavalera (Sepultura).
I know some people have mixed feelings about Dave himself, but he generally goes back to what he does best on this one; mainly hardcore drumming and some vicious guitar riffs. He leaves the singing to the pros.
Definitely worth checking out, if you ask me.
