I recorderd a metal band a couple months ago, and I went with the D112 just as you describe.
I must say that if I had to do it again, I would definatly go with the previous poster Matt's advice of using a 2nd mic like a 57.
When it comes time to mixdown, adding highend eq to the D112 only goes so far. I was able to get "decent" results, but I know I could have achieved much more presence and clarity if I had that 2nd 57 to work with.
Good luck Brotha!
