>>48706>>48705>>48704>>48702>>48701>>48700>>48699Since I didn't leave comments on these, I'll say something -
Eyehategod are one of the key sludge metal bands, maybe THE key one besides Melvins (who someone else posted), though bands like Acid Bath (also above), Down, Neurosis, Buzzov*en, and Dystopia are also significant. EHG are my favorite for just communicating pure misery. They wanted to sound like "if Black Sabbath was a punk band," though there's also a strong southern blues element.
Behemoth are an amazing semi-mainstream death metal band comparable to bands like Gojira. If you like their style but want something more underground, I'd also recommend Archgoat and Beherit. This isn't the best Behemoth video, but I wanted to promote House of Strombo, George Strombo's new music/talk show (he's a great journalist).
Napalm Death are actually a fascinating band that gets underrated for how thoughtful they were. They had their roots in the Crass-centered anarcho-punk scene and were very influenced by early crust punk, but they tied in major Celtic Frost and Slayer influences to their sound, spawning grindcore. They're connected to lots of other major bands, like Carcass and Godflesh/Jesu. As time went on, they became more and more death metal, but always with a noisy avant-garde edge.
Martyrdöd are a really great band that fuses melodic death metal and crust punk, with a little black metal. They have their roots in the band Skitsystem.
Dawn Ray'd are a solid black metal band with references to peasant revolts, paganism, and revolutionary themes. Sorta like the Rage Against the Machine of black metal. They're notable contemporaries of Panopticon.
Celtic Frost are one of the most influential extreme metal bands ever, and they were a huge influence on both black metal and death metal. They're connected to the bands Hellhammer and Triptykon.
Rotten Sound are a great, really heavy, really crisp grindcore band.

All genres of heavy metal are an offshoot of those big bands from the late 70s and 80s that everyone knows. Liking obscure bands doesn't give you extra points, you are still listening to riffs ripped off from megadeth. In metal everyone just changes the tempo a bit and calls it a new genre.

>>28299>What are your fave metal genres? This is a hard question because I think most of the bands I listen to are mixes of genres. I think the ones I listen to most are power metal, symphonic metal and doom metal. Like one of my favorite bands is Blind Guardian, they're power metal but a lot of their music is very symphonic too. I also like any metal that incorporates a medieval/minstrel sound to it, or doom metal that has symphonic mixed with it. I also love progressive metal but my ex boyfriend was obsessed with Opeth and now listening to them just makes me think of him and I can't find other prog bands that I like.
I feel weird liking power metal though because people always say it's "the most masculine metal genre" and "women don't like power metal". I feel like I can't share that I like power metal because people would think I'm weird.
What are your favorite genres? and also, what genre would you say Lacuna Coil is? They are always labeled symphonic metal but I don't see what's symphonic about them.

Man, I just love black metal so much. I took a short break from listening to metal because I felt kind of bored, which is crazy when I reflect on it. I listened to a lot of death metal when I first got into metal and I guess after listening to a lot of classic albums and loving them, I wasn't too impressed with a lot of newer death metal stuff. I felt like it didn't pack as much of a punch or I found myself lost in a sea of cannibal corpse rip-offs. I don't particularly care for ultra clean production in death metal either, i feel low-fi production does help add that extra layer of grit. Sometimes anyways.
I also want to say that Paracletus is hands down one of my most favourite albums of all time and rekindled my love for metal again. God bless this thread. You all have impeccable taste.

I have to confess the first music I actually liked was from Slipknot…

>>76670I got into metal as a teenager through people posting about the 90s Norwegian black metal scene on tumblr lol. I followed some people who would post pictures of Euronymous, Dead, Varg, Fenriz, Faust, etc. and i was intrigued by the ~aesthetic~ and evil mystique surrounding the scene so I checked out some Burzum, Mayhem, Darkthrone, etc. and fell in love. Black metal is still my preferred subgenre and since I came into it through an extreme subgenre route and not the heavy, thrash, or nu-metal route it seems like most people take I’m still mostly drawn to black and death metal. For me it went black > thrash > death. I was into stuff like Swans and Nine Inch Nails before too but I don’t really consider those metal.
I don’t know if I would consider myself a metalhead though since I don’t really participate in anything IRL. Went to one Slayer show and that was it. I wish I had more friends into metal.

>>76670I did make my first steps into hard rock with the help of my uncle, yes he likes metallica (the black album to be specific and that's about it) but mostly you well known hard rock acts from the 60s-late 80s. I really went into rock when I was around 17 but at some point I didn't felt like it was enough for me so I got inspired by the osbournes to listen to Black Sabbath (not the solo ozzy stuff) and really liked the music and overall aesthetic so I dig around and endend up listening to obscure psychedelic/doom/occult metal bands.
As the other anon here mentioned here, I also got exposed to black metal through tumblr, because I also liked the visuals of it but did not listened to it because I was way too much of a pussy at this point so I stayed in my lil witchcraft inspired metal thingy. I also loved pentagram next to black sabbath and other stuff that I can't remember now. But at some point I was like, I need to look deeper into the metal genre and got into thrash and death metal (which is waaay to extreme for my uncle, since I like to share my music discoveries with him but for example the early metallica stuff is already too hard for him.

One day when I was like 10, I searched for Nightwish on youtube and liked it so much, then went downhill from there. He even gave me a Nightwish shirt too, I still have it, it is so small and doesn't fit me anymore.
Then I heard every possible symphonic metal till I became tired and started to explore other subgenres. Today what I like the best is (still don't know what to call it without generating discussion) blackgaze like Deafheaven, Alcest, etc. I'm a big BMTH fan too.
As a metalhead, sometimes I feel ashamed to say that I like some emo bands and other artists who aren't metal at all. Not ashamed to like, it's just that feels like other metalheads will judge me but whatever, right?
I wish that I had more metalhead friends too.

From that moment on, I dug futher into metal throught all of my youth.
When I moved to university I quit listening to metal because I'm fucking stupid and thought it would be fine for me trying to get into other genres. I explored, found very cool stuff, but quickly lost interest.
Until recently, I started talking again with a friend who's a metalhead, felt nostalgic and got back into metal. Result is, after more than a year with no music (besides japanese music) I now wake up wanting to listen to music and discover more and more.

Or you could put them on a bag/backpack, I've seen some people like that, it looks a bit cooler than a jacket in my opinion

Guys, I'm overjoyed, one of my favorite bands of all time, Elend has announced a new album (they are not metal but only metalheads listen to them afaik)! They hadn't released new material in 13 years and for the past two or or three years they've hinted the release or something new, and there we are, new album by the end of the year with remasters and vinyls of their previous albums. You have no idea how happy I am about this!
>>104799Same, I have like two IRL friend who I can talk music with and only one listens to BM, and I don't frequent online communities like RYM because they are pozzed with woke shit.
I think Biolume will become my favorite album of his with time, the melodies and atmospheres are more of my taste, more intimate and diverse. I haven't listened to his other project. I have not heard of the band you posted, but I really liked it!
In BM, I love Schammasch, The Ruins of Beverast (Rain Upon the Impure is actually my favorite BM album), Hail Spirit Noir, Blut Aus Nord, Nokturnal Mortum, Summoning, Pensées Nocturnes, Glaciation, Deathspell Omega (only the trilogy) and a few others.

Do you know of the amazing black metal scene on Iceland? If you don't, here are my recommendations:
Sinmara, Svartidauði (they sound sort of "standard", not in a bad way, but in the way that everything else on my list I compare to their sound, I would recommend them to anyone)
Misthyrming (their first album is in my opinion one of the best black metal albums, ever)
Endalok (sounds like being trapped in an icy cave)
Naðra (this is a bit more "rock and roll" if that makes sense)
0 (it' s more doom than black metal, like Naðra but very slow; it's hard to google so here:
https://0000000.bandcamp.com/)
Skáphe (this is 50% icelandic but I want to mention it, sounds like literal hell, I posted it above.)
Almyrkvi, Andavald, Wormlust, Abominor (less angry pummeling and more atmosphere)
Mannveira (sounds dissonant and distorted and real angry)
Martröð (international band, all the members are very skilled musicians for example Wrest)
Most of the bands here share members and sound similar, so if you like one of the bands you will probably like the rest, so I ask of you all to check just one of these, and if you have to listen to just one song, try the one I embedded. There's so many more bands besides these. Can you believe that there's so many amazing black metal bands there though?? Iceland has a population of only 360 000.
Also a bonus: half of these bands I listed have their albums free to download on bandcamp.

>>108878I am this anon, I just listened to the full album:
I like it, it's my favorite of Uada's albums so far. Each song is different, unlike on the previous albums where I think they all sounded the same and forgettable. The style is a bit different, it's sort of more rock'n'roll but I like it. The vocals I like better than before because the vocalist isn't changing his screams style every five seconds like in the past, which I mean props to him to be able to do that but I found it annoying. The first two songs are a bit boring, but the rest are interesting, especially No Place Here, Forestless and Between Two Worlds. The middle part of Between Two Worlds is especially nice, it's sort of doomy.
Just don't read the lyrics because they ruin everything, holy shit. Honorable mention:
>Individualism versus collectivism, what is free will if the will cannot be free? Well… If you don't read the lyrics it's alright because you can't really decipher any words out of the screaming.
Overall I recommend it, but not if you expect something like Mgła. If you didn't like the previous Uada, you might like this and vice versa.
>>112815Thanks anon I really liked that. It's like a mix between black metal and punk music. I checked out the newest album too and I liked that one better. nice
Also I would like to recommend this album I linked. It's black metal but with sort of industrial or something sounds? I'm not well versed enough to describe it accurately.

Hello metal anons please recommend me your noisiest metal with clean vocals. Album recs are preferred but song recs are welcome too. I would like to listen to more metal but I only know a few songs from power metal bands.

>>116393Wow that sounds great! I haven't heard of them before, very nice. Portal has those same themes but the lyrics are indecipherable and the music is a bit hermetic.
I haven't seen a video of them playing until now, I can't stop laughing at the singer. What is that thing on his head?? Is it part of a grandfather clock? Isn't it heavy? How is it staying up? We will never know

Likely a stupid question, but how do you get into metal? I like some of what I've heard. It began with Melvins (went to a concert before corona, it was awesome) and I'm enjoying this thread. But I want to know if there's a good online community or something to better keep up so I can be "in the know"? Listening to random albums/tracks is fun but I'd like to discover in an orderly way. Don't wanna miss out or be oblivious to things most would know. Some anons mentioned tumblr, that could be a start?
This is stupider and not important, but would anything 'bar' someone from liking metal? What I mean is, I see a lot of violence and nihilism in lyrics. I don't care about that and it seems cathartic actually. But It's hard to tell how much is for the aesthetic. Those of you who enjoy it, does it take a toll on your outlook? I have depression but I feel like it could also be like I said, cathartic, a means of release from these emotions. I felt that when I listened to some and can fall asleep to heavier, slower stuff. A lot of the imagery is captivating like a story as well. So, maybe I'm thinking this for nothing. Sorry I know I sound dumb as fuck but I don't wanna be a fool. Thanks

>>117231>how do you get into metal?As mentioned, tumblr is still a good place to get into specific community. it helped me back in the day a lot when I just started to get into "classic rock" and shit because I found a lot girl around my age that were interested in the same bands. But I also know that there is also a huge metal scene, especially when it come to specific bands like Metallica being obv the biggest one and stuff like.
Another thing that helped me when I got into metal was last.fm because I just browsed through the genre tags and listened to the radio stations they had which recommended you similar artists, which then again made you check out more bands. Like here is the thrash page with artists that all in the genre:
https://www.last.fm/de/tag/thrash+metal/artistsIt also had this handy event planner thingy, which helped me to get in touch people who also went to shows in went. Idk how it is today because stopped using this page years ago and I know it went through some changes.
Then I like to click around on youtube with stuff that looks interesting? Idk, just seeing this one band name and thinking "yeah" I could like that" lol That's another way I found bands I would've never found otherwise.
>Those of you who enjoy it, does it take a toll on your outlook?No, not really. There songs where I maybe first thought "fuck this is fucked up" but at the second time around it is just a song I enjoy. Maybe it is because it's over the top brutal and idk ugly because otherwise you have not a chance to enjoy those things? I found metal to be very relaxing in some moments for so maybe you have to find something that works for you. Metal as a whole has A LOT to offer so I'm pretty confident that you will find something fits you!
Pic unrelated tho lol

>>117231you are always going to like what you like, don't be intimidated by outward appearances, 97% its just people putting on a show, being edgy for humor. metal does have some edgy elitists who are assholes, and everyone is annoyed by them. everyone likes what they like and you shouldn't feel embarrassed by fucking 666kvlt_i_hate_xtsians666 getting mad at you because your favorite band isn't some obscure tape recorded on a dishwasher in 1997 and is on spotify.
i also have depression and i feel like listening to metal can be really therapeutic, music is just an outward expression and if i for example listen to MGłA, exercises in futility, it really just encapsulates how i feel and makes me feel less alone. Metal is in incredibly diverse genera, you have anything from doom, stoner, psychedelic to thrash, death, black, and alternative and don't forget all the cross-over that happens in genera all the time.
it can be intimidating at first ngl but overall your going to find a music that you love and a community of people that like the same things as you. alot of metalheads were in your shoes once so don't be embarrassed!

Do you like raw black metal? I just found this album, it's really good, I bought it as soon as I heard the 3rd song
>>124210I think you need to find just one band you like, and from then it'll be easier to appreciate others you might have not appreciated at first because you'll notice the similarities to the one band you like. At least, that's what it was like for me. The first band I truly liked was Gojira so I really recommend their music. If you don't like it, just look around more. I think progressive metal in general is accessible

The used r more interesting, the 2005 album still had obvious ~real emo~ influence and a member of coalesce, a respected metalcore band did backing vocals so it u liked that given them a listen and try get into metal via the core route

>>150797Thanks for the rec. I feel the same way about Guðveiki's vocals as you do about Akhlys. Granted I'm still relatively new to metal so it might just be our own journey through the genre differing. Don't mean to sound offensive but are you Gen X/Millennial by any chance? That might have something to do w/ our different likes in vocals. I'll keep listening to this though and I appreciate the label recommendation as well!
To stay on-topic, been really enjoying Churchburn lately. Dave Suzuki's guitar solo @ 4:22 took me completely off guard when I first listened to this and it turned me onto his work. I'm usually listening to metal for the drummer but this blew me out of the water.

Anons you gotta hear this guitar sound near the middle of the song. It's like weweewewewewewewewewewewew I love it
>>151107That was wonderful, the guitar solo is completely out of place but it works, anyway I don't think I am a millenial (I had to google) I was born in 1999, but I live in a place where american trends arrive 5 years later.

I also have to mention Amenra's De Doorn even though it's not BM I think many BM listeners will enjoy it. I've been listening to it a lot ever since that album came out a month ago.

nonny with excellent taste! I like the new song actually. What did you think of their long long hyped up orchestra album? I wasn’t a fan tbh i do need the power metal!
No. 175337
>>175031I like it a lot! I'll probably need to hear the full album to better appreciate it, when "Twilight of the Gods" was first released I found it meh, but "Beyond the Red Mirror" ended being one of my favorite album of them, easily in the top 3. Also I can't believe how good Hansi's voice still is.
Blind Guardian is my former favorite band (I don't like them less, I just fell in love harder with another band) so seeing them here warms my heart, I feel despite their longevity and successes they are kinda underrated, I think they are very popular among the metal crowd (a lot of black metal people like them weirdly enough) but have zero mainstream recognition.
