Shit how didn't i find this thread before
anyway, to "introduce myself": I've been listening to metal for more or less 3 years, I started with more mainstream bands, but later on I discovered more obscure genres and less "accessible" bands. That's what I mainly listen to now:
Thrash: Slayer, (old) Metallica, Testament, Overkill, Sodom, and the almighty Kreator (my favourite band). I also love Lamb of God, which some classify as thrash
Many subgenres of Death Metal: Melodeath (At the Gates, Amon Amarth, and old albums by In Flames and Edge Of Sanity), blackened (Behemoth *-*), Technical Death (Necrophagist, Cryptopsy), and more...I also love other Polish bands such as Vader and Decapitated and other scandinavian bands such as Entombed. My favourite album remains None So Vile by Cryptopsy, by far.
Black: Immortal, Marduk, Dissection (who does not love Dissection?), Watain, Emperor.
I also listen to miscellaneous stuff from other genres such as Opeth, Candlemass, and Blind Guardian.
Ok I'll stop rambling...This is a melodeath band I discovered not too long ago which I deem pretty solid

Can remember if I've mentioned Redwood Hill, but they're pretty good.
A few people in here might have already heard of these guys. To those that haven't, I recommend this to fans of Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Too Fast for Love-Shout at the Devil era-Mötley Crüe. I first discovered Enforcer back in 2010, they had this album Diamonds up for free legal download on their Facebook for one day. After that download I was hooked on these guys, the album's production feels straight out of a CD produced, pressed, and issued directly out of 1985-1989.
Are You Dead Yet has a really good chorus, but it is one of COB's best known songs so you probably already know it. Another really good one is Done With Everything, Die For Nothing from Blooddrunk...I actually used to listen to COB much more than I do now, so I am probably missing a ton of other tracks
bodom beach terror was always my fav cob chorus even though i don't really like them that much (or at all honestly)
Deathcore is my least favorite genre ever, so not a fan of Suicide Silence one bit (sorry dude). To those into thrash metal, I've been digging this local band called Sadistic Ritual since about 2011 when I saw them live opening up for Deicide. To those interested in early Kreator, Bonded by Blood Exodus, & Show No Mercy Slayer, Sadistic Ritual may be up your alley. This song is off their two track EP single from last year, they reportedly are recording and have another EP out on the way some time in the foreseeable future.
Suicide Silence are embarrassing. Once you listen to real death metal then you'll forget all about deathcore.
On the topic of great CoB choruses; Harlot is right on about Bodom Beach Terror. Others that immediately come to mind are Bed of Razors, Hatebreeder, Black Widow, Touch Like Angel of Death, and Northern Comfort.

Deathcore is essentially the watered down version of death metal, it takes everything the extreme heavy metal fan would like about death metal in the first place away and attempts to make it as easily accessible as possible. Going on about liking Suicide Silence and not some top 40 pop orientated artists isn't a grand accomplishment when you consider deathcore is the poppier orientated version of death metal.
To recommend you some death metal, try checking out Sepultura's first album Morbid Visions, Death's Scream Bloody Gore or Leprosy albums, or Morbid Angel's Altars of Madness album. Just some entry level surface death metal to get you started and to form your own thoughts if you enjoy it or not.
Those are all great albums, although I prefer Covenant from MA. Some even better and more easily accessible stuff (in comparison to other essentials such as Massacra, Gorguts, Immolation, Drawn and Quartered, Ulcerate, and the late 80s/early 90s Florida/Sweden bands) includes Atheist's Unquestionable Presence, At the Gates' The Red in the Sky is Ours, and Carcass' Heartwork, which I'd recommend starting with before you get into the more raw stuff.

September 14 we go back on the air, which means my first show of the semester will be 9/17!
New Exodus song featuring the first studio recorded song with Zetro in 10 years. Kirk Hammett plays a guitar solo on this, your typical Hammett soloing. I like this though, I may actually considering going to see Slayer in November if Exodus' new album is worthwhile.
BACK ON THE AIR TONIGHT
