I am a die hard Metal fan. From Death to Prog, from Heavy to Gothic, there are many different things one can experience from its subgenres. But if there's one thing they all have in common is that they want to make you wanna "Bang Your Head". These are my picks for "5 songs that will (almost certainly) make you bang your head"*.
*Criteria: 1 - I tried to pick songs from band that are not too famous (So no Metallica or Iron Maiden). 2 - I wanted the songs to be as straightforward as possible, so I tried to avoid proggy stuff (although I love Prog).
You probably don't know them, but if you like iron maiden-esque bands Helstar is a nice hidden gem. Listen to Run With the Pack or Burning Star. Heck, first 4 albums are gold.(not gold as in records, gold as in amazing) Edit: FRICK!!!! I meant to make my hundredth post a blog about my expierences! No!!! *sigh*. Oh well.
1. Born - Nevermore 2. Cast Down the Heretic - Nile 3. Winter Madness - Wintersun 4. Nine Steps - Decapitated 5. Iron - Ensiferum
It might just be my blind fanboyism for all of these bands, but these 5 were the first that came to my mind. I might edit in some videos in case you guys don't want to look them up (if you haven't heard of them).

This list of yours is very good. My neck muscles are thanking you for the work out
