Can anyone recommend any good metal bands?

Question

style doesn't bother me much (although i don't want anything ending in -core)

i'd prefer stuff from the 80s but if it's more modern it's ok

Update:

i've heard most of the really well known bands people are suggesting, i want something more obscure (too specific? lol)
