I play a lot Melodeath C# tuned stuff on mine - just in B. We do In Flames' "Embody the Invisible" in Division occasionally...

I'd second all the bands listed already. I'd also suggest getting the NM and DT songs you aren't capable of playing yet as you'll never improve if you don't push yourself.

As for bands to check out, Fear Factory are good for improving picking speed and precision and first album Chimaira is all for Drop A 7 string. Also the last two Dimmu Borgir albums (Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia and Death Cult Armageddon) are 7 friendly. Don't know about the earlier stuff as I don't own it, but Silenoz has been playing 7's on those albums. Puritania is the best 2 riff song ever. Absolute piece of piss to play but it sounds so good.

+1 for Carcass.
I'd like to add Behemoth, Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, Aborted & Cryptopsy, to help you make use of that extra low string.

Also, the last Emperor album if you can find tabs

You can always transcribe things/be ghetto and just transfer it from D to A or E to B and tune to baritone + E if you really felt like it, just to get the feel of the 7 string.

Especially albums such as "Home" and "Animosity". Denial, Trust and Deadset just to name a few are great songs to play.

Morbid Angel is another great band. Songs such as World Of Shit, Blood On My Hands, God Of Emptiness, Dominate, Where The Slime Live, and pretty much everything off Domination.

I couldn't agree more. Behemoth, MA, Corpse, Emperor's 'Prometheus' album, Carcass - Heartwork, Arch Enemy has quite a few songs in Bb standard tuning... and like the other guy said, Fear Factory and newer Dimmu is also a good choice.

If you want to play some fun stuff but thats a little slower, you can check out any Type O Negative song (my favorite band), every song in their glorious career has been in B standard tuning.
