Naw man, you'll be signing the thread's death warrant if you're afraid of posting!
Maybe there should be a special system for thanking someone for the rec/discussing them without hogging the space. I vote for starting those posts with a ~ key. They must be feeling quite lonely and neglected watching all the other keys get used and always getting passed by.

Metal is an extremely broad (burning) church these days so it's next to impossible to recommend a sole album and say it's representative of all things metal. However, you could try these...
Judas Priest - British Steel. If I had to pick, at gun point, an album that defines Heavy Metal in its most traditional form and by that I mean sublimely ridiculous but totally wonderful, I'd say this in that it's utterly daft, catchy as Hell, extremely entertaining and rocks like a muthafucker from beginning to end. May induce much air guitaring and punching of the air. \m/
Opeth - Ghost Reveries and/or Watershed for melancholic prog metal vibes.
Mastodon - Crack the Skye. More prog metal excess.
Nebula - Charged. Stoner riffment par excellence. Nebula are boss!
HIM - Dark Light. Goth Pop Metal hookery
Turisas - The Varangian Way and/or Stand and Fight. Insane Battle Metal bombast and glorious silliness. For one's inner viking. Handy for you cos you live on a boat cos you will want to stand on the prow waving a sword, trust me on this.
Anyone - st. Funky 90's art-metal in the Jane's Addiction vein.
Loads more genres within genres. Might add some later.

Heard, owned and enjoyed, cheers. For you, Hejira, "Prayer Before Birth".
(Don't worry, it's definitely not metal!)

I seem to recall you've listened to some pretty zen stuff on Soundtracks. This might be a bit of a risk, and it is technically just a song (a 30 minute one), but I find it never fails to transport me with its primitive mid-'70s electronics, narration that gets progressively more out there, and a really naive sense of awe throughout: Blue Gene Tyranny - Out of the Blue. Hope it whisks you away the way it does me. I think it's safe to say that it sounds like absolutely nothing else... Probably the most human piece to ever come from the mind of a Modern Classicist. It's pretty mental that he was a one-time member of The Stooges, especially after you hear that song.
Metal is my blind-spot. Someone hit me with your best shot. My ears are open.
Glad you liked KM - hopefully seeing them perform with Damo Sazuki next week! Blue Gene Tyranny was an interesting listen - I shall give it another listen, I need to to work out what the hell was going on in some places!
As for metal - my last metal purchase was Earth's Primitive and Deadly. This is my favourite track from it:

Thanks Ian - listened to some of this on youtube. Will investigate some more.
Keeping to the theme of my Japanese recommendations here's a lovely live recording for you - from Ai Aso's Alone album:
