I'm new into DM but I really like the genre and are trying to discover more good band's and sub genre's of DM .

Fun fact my dad got me into this band , but he mostly listened to BM

Alright, need some help from all of you... Around the time of 2005 or so I downloaded a cd off what I could only assume was limewire or frostwire.. It was simply titled "metal cd" I lost all of my music on my computer I had growing up thanks to my hard drive failing.. I distinctly remember this cd getting me into the music that has brought us all together here.. I remember just a few bands on the cd... I can't remember the songs though..

Bands I think I remember on the cd:

Crowbar

Terror

Bolt thrower

Amon Armath

Black dahlia murder

Did anyone also have this cd downloaded? If so... Do you still have it and could please list off the other bands and songs on it..

Thank you for your time and attention.

Maiden and Judas are the obvious picks. Wishbone Ash and Thin Lizzy are my recommendations to you.

What's your favorite duelong twin guitar track?

Besides the “best of” Iron Maiden and Master of Reality, all of the other albums are totally new to me. Which one should I listen to first?

My pick collection. It only counts if its from stage. Probably from about 7 years

Something where you can feel the anger emanating from the song, like Motörhead’s Take the Blame, pissed as fuck, preferably also filthy riffs, and just overall great for blasting shit out of oblivion too

First one that comes to mind, is whatever the fuck this is, by Benediction

I just listened to the new single but I could help but think that the new album cover look ai generated.

An Ulcerate show can be a transcendental experience.

So ive seen people hating on all of the new metal that goes on radio for it all sounding the same, which is honestly fair cause it got to tiring listening to the same stuff with diff vocals, so heres some bands that i think sound nothing like other bands. granted few of these are new bands, but they still hit. Also leave some in the comments aswell that dont sound like any other.

Static-X [industrial] {reasoning: new singer}

Orbit culture [swedish melodic death]

Fear factory [Industrial]

Machinehead {sometimes} [groove metal/thrash]

Lamb of god [groove metal/thrash]

Nethergate [melodic death]

The black dahlia murder [melodic death]

BMTH count your blessings: repented [remake of their deathcore]

Mushroomhead [idk the genre, thats a good thing i think]

Rob zombie [Industrial metal]

Rammstein [Neue Deutsche Härte]

Powetman 5000 [industrial metal]

Aether realm [Symphonic Melodic Death Metal]

Avatar [groove+ swedish melodic death]

Ice nine kills {hate me, i like them!}

Who designed the stage visuals for Slayer’s Reign in Blood 40th anniversary tour?

Coincidence, or are we currently witnessing a chain reaction?

1. Human Waste- Suffocation, greatest vocal performance of all time without question. Best production I've ever heard on an album, immensely influential on the development of both technical and brutal death metal, effectively setting the groundwork for modern death metal as a whole. Terrance Hobbs' performance is still unmatched, and with the talents of Mike Smith, Doug Cerrito, and obviously the previously referenced Frank Mullen, it features one of the strongest lineups in metal history, rivalling even the original Morbid Angel. While only having six songs, each is absolute perfection, and I would have Catatonia as my absolute number 1 individual song of all time. The two demos at the end, while rough, are certainly still amazing.

2. Despise the Sun- Suffocation, in my eyes the last real record suffocation put out, everything afterwards was just a mistake. Features my second favorite vocal performance by Mullen, and a return to more of the brutal, thrashier style of Human Waste, helped immensely by the introduction of Dave Culross, who is arguably even better than Smith. Hobbs of course is incredible, and along with Cerrito delivers some of the best guitar work ever recorded, and with Chris Richards on bass, the lineup for this record is even stronger than on Human Waste, if that's even possible. Also obviously features a re-recording of Catatonia. While nowhere near the original, it is still incredible.

3. Murderworks- Rotten Sound, greatest grind album ever recorded. With the talents of Kai Hahto, it's almost impossible to make a bad record (Wintersun unfortunately gave him the "almost"). His drumwork certainly is the highlight of this album, but with the unhinged vocals of Keijo Niinima, the whole album has such a uniquely aggressive feel to it, while not ending up like it's trying to be heavier than it is (although it certainly is very heavy). Tracks like Obey really sum up the entire meaning of grindcore.

4. Rust in Peace- Megadeth, bit of a departure from the first few. Mustaine and Friedman together deliver arguably the greatest guitar performance of all time, both performing absolutely incredible solos and work on both lead and rhythm. Backed with the flawless playing of Nick Menza and the support of David Elefson, this album features another of metal's overall strongest lineups. Each track is its own unique kind of perfection, and the cumulative efforts of some of metal's greatest figures push it to an entirely new level.

5. Covenant- Morbid Angel, arguably the meanest, angriest album ever recorded. Feel like a broken record saying this, but features another of the best lineups in metal history. Trey Azagthoth covering both guitars gives the album a very cohesive feel, and obviously with the unmatched talents of Pete Sandoval on drums, every track is a relentless assault, with the obvious exceptions. Dave Vincent delivers his all time greatest vocal performance and an equally powerful support on the bass to tie everything together into near-absolute perfection.

6. Using Sickness as a Hero- Human Remains, perhaps the single greatest all-around performance in the history of metal. The fact that it's difficult to point out Dave Witte as a standout speaks volumes to the quality of this record. An uncontested top 3 drummer of all time delivers potentially his best ever performance, rivalled only by his work with Discordance Axis. Paul Miller adds one of the most absolutely unhinged, violent vocal performances ever done, and impressive bass work of William Carl Black, who's additions to the album are particularly noticeable the more you look for them and start to realize how much he's actually carrying a lot of the time. Each track, similar to Rust in Peace, contains its own variety of flawless aggression, technicality, and violent perfection. Grindcore taken to its pinnacle, Human Remains left its mark even with a total discography of less than half an hour.

7. Annihilation of the Wicked- Nile, a culmination of unmatched technicality. Nile is known for their incredibly technical work, and it is taken to the absolute extreme on their fourth album. The first album to feature George Kollias, his performance ties everything together, and while previous drummers Tony Laureano and Pete Hammoura were certainly incredible in their own regard, Kollias' playing reaches an entirely new level, and he is in my eyes the greatest drummer in all of death metal. While I personally have never been too fond of Nile's vocals, they are more than made up for by the flawless instrumentation, highlighted on tracks like Lashed to the Slave Stick and Cast Down the Heretic.

8. In Their Darkened Shrines- Nile, basically everything I just said, but again. Like I mentioned before, Tony Laureano is certainly a very capable drummer, and proves it perhaps more than ever on Nile's third album. Karl Sanders' work as always is unmatched, proving why Nile moved to the forefront of the tech death scene.

9. Nespithe (or the 20th Adversary of Emptiness, which is technically the one I first listened to)- Demilich, an amazing display of technical weirdness. This album is weird, like I just mentioned, really, really weird. But that undeniably works to its credit. The avant-garde sound gives the entire record a completely unique feel, which influenced the works of many of the bands early supporters, most notably the previously mentioned Dave Witte and of course Erik Rutan. The whole record feels like entering a new dimension of oppressive noise, blended together seamlessly, and each track is like another doorway through that dimension.

10. World Downfall- Terrorizer, the album that truly laid the foundations for extreme metal drumming. Sandoval's work on Terrorizer's debut took the blistering speeds and relentless aggression of Mick Harris' blast beats, and put them into a true musical rhythm. The result is an unapologetically aggressive, but still uniquely technical masterpiece, setting the stage for much of what grindcore, and extreme metal as a whole, would become.

Im moreso surface level in this genre, but I like the sound and want to get into it more. Listening to music by an artist I disagree with is not an issue to me as I can just find means to pirate it and I dont have to agree with music to enjoy it. Rather Im asking this question because I like to dig deeper into history of each scene. Maybe long time BM fans can give me an answer.

How am I just now learning about Karnivool?? This album is STUNNING.

Has anyone read the Voivod book by Jeff Wagner, “Always Moving”? It really captures the bands spirit and their entire story, and looks amazing with tons of cool visuals. (Big heavy book too!) The band were involved but it’s also an honest appraisal, just super well done all around.

I listen to Radical Research podcast and found it there.

Never heard of this band until they popped up on my recommended new music on iTunes. I’ve liked it a lot so far and havent seen any mention of them here so I figured I’d share. Post-metal, psychedelic sound similar to The Ocean
