Elexorien (Elexorien's site: http://www.elexorien.com [might be having technical difficulties atm) is a great Dutch band... their genre might be considered "Epic Viking Folk Death Metal"... and I know that might sound weird, but Lainedil's intense growling against Ine's classically angelic voice, come together in a beautiful harmony, powered by heavy riffs and medieval-style interludes. It blends together very well, like root beer and vanilla ice cream. One of my favorite bands, next to Metallica and MegaDeth.
Butthole Surfers - absolutely bizarre band... they lie somewhere between rock, metal, and "What are they thinking?"
Ministry - Definitely one of the heaviest metal bands I've ever come across. Two of my favorite songs they've made are "N.W.O" and "Jesus Built My Hotrod".
GWAR - akin to the Butthole Surfers, this Death Metal band is extremely humorous, although equally graphic in their portrayal of their galactic domination and destruction (warning: if you're a Christian, don't bother, as they're extremely blasphemous... and if you're of weak constitution, again, don't bother, it'll make you sick).
Godsmack - a pretty decent rock band, their lead singer (a devout Wiccan) has an exceptional voice, and their music is very melodic.
Cirrus - moreso an electronica band, they make plenty of use of rock elements, sometimes with rap-esque lyrics. (Their music can be heard on the Sega Dreamcast game Demolition Racer: No Exit)
Rage Against the Machine - they're pretty good, and politically motivated. Haven't listened to them in a long time, so I don't remember a whole bunch about them.
Anthrax - been around since at least the mid 80's. Technically a metal band, their music tends to encompass other styles as well (such as the rap-influenced "I'm the Man", the humorous politically-influenced "Startin' Up a Posse", and the gentle, darker, almost love-song like, "Black Lodge").
