Jex Thoth - Nothing Left to Die
Most of what I listen to has screaming in it. It's hard for me to give recommendations that don't, but Jex Thoth is a pretty beautiful band for one that's more "normal" music. Aspid - Towards One Goal Aspid are Thrash, fairly obscure Russian band. They're just absolutely amazing!

I would like to point out my favorite band of all time, just to get some interest into others potentially.
TooL, my band of worship and even teaching. They have to be next to the most intelligent and philosophical band out there, if not the apex. Their music is epic poetry incarnate, lyrics speaking of incredible things from our own humanity to the universes laws. They sing satires on religion, and denounce the idiots of modern culture, all with beautifully woven words and deliverance. I cannot stress their artistry and capability. Not only this, but they are one of the few blatant demonstrations of musical-leanings changing during careers. At first they were mainly a metal/industrial band, but over several albums have transitioned to a progressive metal band. As far as progressives go, they are the peak and the leader. Opinion is opinion of course, and I'm speaking just that.

Heavy, thrash, black, melodic, power, atmospheric, symphonic, progressive, death, doom, but not grind, or nu.
I can listen to a wide range of bands from Rhapsody to Opeth, Mayhem to Metallica. If I have to name those I would listen all the time, it would be in no particular order, Ulver (even tho they have gone way beyond metal but I still love their newer works), Moonspell, Therion, Opeth, Angra, Rhapsody, Burzum, Sepultura, the older Metallica and Mayhem. So yeah linkies Burzum's masterpiece The military style drum makes it all badass. My favorite of Metallica

Is there anyone else on this planet, that has heard of Dark Empire, yet? Those guys seriously need A LOT more attention. They play a kind of dark and at times even progressive power metal with some death growls thrown into the mix. Their Style is absolutely unique and their music really among the best of the genre in my opinion. So far, they only have two albums released, but they are both excellent. A third one, with new vocalist Urban Breed, is almost finished, though. If I somehow managed to get you interested, here are two of Dark Empire's best songs:

People look at me in shock when I say I love heavy metal but that's the truth... apparently I don't look like a metalhead. At the moment, my favourite bands and song of each have to be: Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name Kamelot - Forever/Karma/The Fourth Legacy Rhapsody of Fire - Frozen Tears of Angels Nevermore - Born Galneryus - Everlasting I've also started listening to Epica I think I've finally figured out what kind of metal I like - symphonic and power metal ftw And if anyone has suggestions judging from my favourites they'll be very appreciated

Anyway, you have a nice taste of music. I'm not a huge fan of Nevermore (except for their slower songs), but I can definately approve of the rest, especially Iron Maiden and Kamelot. Epica is great as well. Maybe you'll like Nightwish, too, but I guess you know them already (because everyone does) and that you're not a particularly big fan of them, because you don't have them listed here. Another thing though. Should you ever decide to try tapping into more brutal or extreme metal, try either Fleshgod Apocalypse's Agony album or Septicflesh's Communion. Symphonic Death - it sounds amazing.

And for the Iron Maiden,Rhapsody of Fire, and some of Kamelot's older projects that classify as power metal, you could try either The Sword or Dragonforce. Fast tempo typical of power metal along with the pulsing lyrical voices and fantasy elements that make up the genre. Think I might look into those two bands as well, ZGoten. do they have a sound similar to Cradle of Filth when you say more extreme? I know some classify Cradle of Filth as a black symphonic metal band, but they're among the more extreme when I think of symphonic metal.

However, It may yet be too early for him to approach that kind of genre if he only know found out what he really likes in metal. He atually might never like that music, but that's just fine, since Iron Maiden and Kamelot are perfectly fine bands. Actually, Kamelot is one of my two favorite bands of all time.^^
