Fun Stuff > BAND
Heavy metal
Praeserpium Machinarum:
Lyrical prowess, and subject matter in some cases. I am not squeamish concerning subject matter, just that some are mediocre such as Soulfly and God Forbid. Maybe I just haven't been exposed to the right stuff, I mean I appreciate songs about "hailing shit" as much as the next guy.
It's when they try to sound evil/krieg/whatever and end up sounding ridiculous that I object. I also seem to have a problem with "shoddy" production for most part, I just can't take it, I felt that way about Immortal for example.
About the ones you mentioned, what is a good starting point?

Bands in the vein of Morbid Angel, Carcass, Edge of Sanity, Anata, Dark Tranquillity, Cryptopsy and Meshuggah.

That's quite a diverse range of sound, but I'd recommend:
Amon Amarth - Versus the World
At The Gates - The Red in the Sky is Ours
Arch Enemy - Burning Bridges
Arsis - A Celebration of Guilt
Bloodbath - Nightmares Made Flesh
Darkane - Rusted Angel
Entombed - Left Hand Path
Grave - Into the Grave
Insomnium - Since The Day It All Came Down
Therion - Beyond Sanctorum
Tiamat - Sumerian Cry
Unleashed - Where No Life Dwells

I already know with Bloodbath and Amon Amarth, but I will check out those bands, thanks. And I only have one EOS album, The Spectral Sorrows, that I totally love. Next time that I'll be in The Metal Shop I'll pick myself a couple of albums.
Oh, about that Altimet Metal mix CD.
Anthrax's Cought In A Mosh should be there. Absolutly.

Both of those bands are shining examples of the meathead lyricism strain in metal that tends to give the whole genre a bad image. All of Khar's suggestions are great. I would also recommend Enslaved-Isa or Beneath the Lights, Virgin Black, Borknagar, Dark Tranquillity, and Opeth (yeah I know they are an obvious choice) for just a few bands across genres that have good lyrics.

Also check out Kalisia while you're at it. They've got their entire first EP, Skies, up for download on their website. It's quite good progressive death metal.
