Greatest Metal Band Ever
You could make a strong argument for any one of these bands.
I wanted to add more bands to the poll, but these elite metal gods stand head and shoulders above the rest, so it didn'really make sense.
I love Kreator/Angel Witch/Amon Amarth/etc as much as the next guy, but are you really going to argue they belong among this Valhalla of metal deities?
I also planned on including at least one band to bridge the 20 year gap between when Metallica/Slayer dropped and when Mastodon hit the scene, but is there any legit contender from that era? I couldn't think of one.
So, who's it gonna be?

i went with maiden. they turned me on to metal as a kid, so i had to give them some props. metalica could have been if they didnt fall off so hard. sabbath is sabbath we all get it. priest has some bangers, but electric eye killed it for me, slayer is the fucking truth, never checked mastadon, but maiden has been the metal group i listened to the longest.

Well, I think the obvious choice is metallica.
Everyone is voting for Sabbath. That's only because they are the pioneers of this shit. People forget that the pioneers aren't supposed to be as good as what follows them because things are supposed to evolve and progress.
Honestly, in terms of musical prowess and artistry, put the best material of anyone of those bands against the best material of metallica and metallica wins. I think the main comp for them is mastodon, honestly.
I'm strictly going by musical talent, not biased due to memories or any nostaligic shit.
