As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb

How about Fates Warning?......
Also 40 Watt Sun have to get a mention, though they're more bleak than groove.
King Ivory Tower by Rosetta was great---but a quick trawl through the rest of that album suggests its mostly instrumental post rock? Not a bad thing, but I'm definitely after more vocal stuff.
40 Watt Sun were cool and I'm going to check them out, but they don't really sound metal to me!!
Astronoid I really wanted to like but on the tracks I listened to the drummer kept ruining the good bits by defaulting to that double bass drum nonsense all the time.
Maybe Rinoa?
How would you describe Deftones and (especially latter day) Mastodon then?
That Fates Warning track is pretty cool although somewhat amusingly given all my other comments the singing lets it down a bit :-D
Keep the suggestions coming guys, I may be picky but I appreciate the help!
Torche - 'Meanderthal' and 'Harmonicraft' are classics
Floor - older stuff is an acquired taste but the latest album 'Oblation' is fantastic
Nevermore may be for you as well. There are solos but not a crazy amount - the riffs and vocals are pretty great. Check out 'This Godless Endeavour'.
Gave them a (very) quick blast on YT.
Mutoid Man in particular seem really good. Torche and Floor are maybes.
Nevermore lasted about ten seconds. Not for me... Sorry!!
Yeah I think out of all the bands I recommended, Nevermore would probably be the most challenging. I guess they're more classic metal inclined. I reckon you'll love Mutoid Man and Torche because the songs don't outstay their welcome, they're heavy and they're catchy as fuck. Floor may also be a challenge as they're pretty much a slower version of Torche.
The problem with Nevermore was the drums. I really can't stand that "classic metal" bass drum thing. You all know what I mean.
I suspect I'm going to run into the problem of not understanding (caring :-D) about the endless sub genres of metal - I could never keep up. So to me bands like Mastodon, Deftones, Rammstein and SOAD are metal but I'm not sure most metal fans see it that way :-D
How about Black Sites? Riffs, grooves, proper singing and no endless solos.
@MagicPigDetective that Black Sites stuff is really good. I'm not that sold on the vocals but the instrumental stuff is right up my street. Definitely going to check out more.
This is probably my favourite YouTube music video. What a voice.
Gojira....?
