I think I like metal now⌠I mean, soft metal⌠but I keep listening to all these Electric Callboy songs. I prefer the non-screaming bits, but appreciate value the screaming gives to the overall experience.
I am ashamed to admit I havenât listened to much new music the past ten years
had a lot of metal albums when i was a teen, deep purple, led zeppelin, black sabbath, that kind of thing
not that i donât like new music, just that apps have make it harder to find new stuff, youtube and last.fm algorithms give you more of the same now, not much new at all
I live to give music recommendations. đ What vibes you after?
I try to listen to the hottest 100 each year to keep up with the times, but I must admit I seem to like less and less new music each year. Last year I really added lots of music to my library was 2019
Youâll find yourself going deeper into the rabbithole looking for harder stuff. I like technical and progressive metal, itâs amazing what some of those bands can do
Riverside might fit this bill well. Everyone needs more Riverside in their life. Criminally unknown. Youtube link
My thing as far as metal goes extends to Symphonic Metal.
Nightwish, Within Temptation, Evanescence, Epica were some of my favourites.
Not a fan of screaming tracks myself.
Did you catch the otamaphone cover of Bring Me to Life thatâs surfaced recently : www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmxLja-DRIw
Nah, not yet, Iâll have a look when I get home later tonight.
Itâs quite well done for something so silly.
Nightwish is so damn good. And Evanescence!
Iâll give the others a listen too đ this thread is giving me lots of reccs haha
I like all sorts of metal, my favourite being Power Metal. Blind Guardian is great, and Battle Beast has an amazing female singer who is just an absolute boss. Blind Guardian doesnât really do screamo, but Battle Beast has a raspy voice.
Silverstein is also good, not power metal, but half normal singing and half screamo mostly.
Iâll give Electric Callboy a go, I havenât heard of them!
Did you go see Blind Guardian a few months back? They were awesome, as ever, and have such great fans đ
I didnât, devo about that. Too expensive for me to justify when Iâm jobless hahah. Next time (I hope!)
Literally in my top 5 favourite bands, always one I go back to when bored with other metal bands. Battle Beast is close, but given I havenât read Berserk, most of their references go over my head. Blind Guardian are my exact type of nerdy lol
Yeah, fair enough, international acts arenât cheap! And yes, my kinda nerdy too. Havenât heard Battle Beast, Iâll give em a spin, despite also not knowing Berserk.
Try a band called âPoison the wellâ. Album is âapathy is a cold bodyâ.
Try the title track.

Have you considered offshoots like viking metal or folk metal? Metal before it became a lot harder or aggressive? Or those bands that used to be black metal but turned fully into ambient or folk?
You might like Amon Amarth, Bathory, Myrkur/Amalie Braun or Venom. [[[[[ Ps. You might want to check out âIs It Sketchâ and stay the hell away from white supremacist bands. />>';/[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[
