Forum: Music

I have been on a huge metal kick lately and I'm always looking for music recommendations! Send me your favs!

(EDIT AFTER 2 YEARS WOWEE):

I really was not expecting this to get as much traction as it did. I sort of forgot I had a spacehey for the past two years. I finally read through all of the forum replies! Thank you all so much for the recommendations! I'll keep this open for anyone else looking to post about their band or just their favorites

Here's my favorites so far, for fun:

Cannibal Corpse, Dethklok, Goblin Cock, Mayhem, Judas Priest, Type O Negative, Grausamkeit, Scythelord

Ah yes metal im a big fan here are some of my recommendations 

Metallica-Master of puppets album not a poser but this album contains a lot of good tracks i believe its the best album to get into :D

Black Sabbath-Paranoid,Master of Reality are both awesome albums if youre looking for  classic heavy metal 

Iron Maiden-I dont listen to them a lot but number of the beast is a great album if you like it you can start to get into them more

Though there's a big chance you'll not like it, this is something I quite enjoy very much and figured you can give it a go.

I love grind, more specifically goregrind; notable ones I listen to are Rectal Smegma, Anal Cunt, Gutalax, and Spermswamp however there is a LOT more.


You can check out Bizarre Leprous and Gore Bubble Productions on Bandcamp but might I add a major trigger warning for the graphic album covers.

Javert Nihil is just noise but is another label I am subscribed to

depends of what type of metal you lean more into.

if its heavy metal,id say leatherwolf is a great introduction besides the classics,like ac/dc,motorhead,black sabbath,etc.

if its symphonic metal,you could listen to delain,lacuna coil(kind of a mix between gothic metal and symphonic),leaves' eyes,nightwish,visions of atlantis,and sometimes ghost too.

if its power metal,you could listen to powerwolf,dream evil,dream theatre,running wild,falconer,stratovarius,manowarall for metal.

if its industrial metal,you could listen to rammstein,emigrate,schwarzer engel,marilyn manson,megaherz.

if its numetal,you could listen to p.o.d,limp bizkit,slipknot,korn,coal chamber,mudvayne,powerman5000,linkin park,trapt,gemini syndrome,system of a down,dry kill logic.

if its leaning towards aggressiveness,such as black,death,etc. you could listen to dimmu borgir,agathodaimon,hecate enthroned,rotting christ,elm street,emperor,skullfist.

if its glam metal,you could listen to motley crue,def leppard,van halen,steel panther,joan jett,europe,warrant,kiss.(some of these might be more rock than metal.)


hope this helps a little bit!:}

I don't know how you're gonna feel about this one, but https://arcanon.bandcamp.com/album/tribulations is one of the first albums I thought of, and if you want something significantly more.... goofy? For lack of a better term? I would check these guys out.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzAw2O2cnFg
I love my local bands. The other one isn't thrash and you said thrash, but they're way... prog, heavy stuff, chick singer whos got pipes, the whole thing.https://www.asoundofthunderband.com/ 

Casting a wide net cuz I feel all of these guys deserve more recognition

if your looking for something a bit more easy going but still heavy id recommend bands like korn, system of a down, limp bizkit. if your looking for something a bit heavier id recommend something like slipknot (still in the nu metal genre) if you wanna do deeper though you can dive into death metal like cannibal corpse or death! :) ofc the genre goes on and it just goes deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole, but i dont wanna go on a rant so ill just end it here, lol.

STOP RECOMMENDING ENTRY LEVEL SHIT IT'S TIME TO REALLY DIG DEEPER

Oh no dude Grausamkait is terrible  I can clearly give you some better music that isn't one of a 1000s of projects made by a german heroin addict that records his dog barking in one of his tracks *cough* Corneus *cough*.

Anyway, if you're into black metal, I recommend these:

Lord Belial, Profanatica, Embrace of Thorns, Bestial Warlust, Craft, Blood chalice, Nocturnal Graves and the war metal classics (Blasphemy, Beherit, Nunslaughter, Impaled Nazarene etc.)

Btw I have wayyyy better death metal recommendations at hand:

  • Insision - brutal death from sweden, sounds american tho
  • Fleshcrawl - oldschool death metal that has the quality of literal Dismember or Entombed but is super slept on
  • SEDIMENTUM - I love that fucking band so much. Canadian musical prodigies.
  • Phobophilic - they did a split with SEDIMENTUM and it's the best shit you'll ever hear
  • Mortuous, Gravesend, Caustic Wound, Concrete Winds, Undergang, Ossuary, Cryptworm, Baphomet, Convulse, Morgoth etc etc.

Now let's go for some black speed:




What else to say, you've got all the european gems here  

Now if you're into sludge and doom or would like to check these genres out:

  • Sludge Classics: Soilent Green, Eyehategod, Crowbar, Grief
  • Lesser known: Slať
  • Doom: disembowelment, bet you know Electric Wizard and Saint Vitus, Coltaine (been to their show and I was absolutely amazed), Mephistofeles, FUCKING CATHEDRAL, Belzebong, Thergothon, Skepticism

LMK if you liked these, I can drop waaaaaaay more ;)

Personally, Iron is my favourite metal. It's sturdy, it's reliable unlike some people/metals. It will be there for you. ALL THE TIME. Regardless of whether or not you have maybe by chance (a teeny weeny one) accidentally stabbed it. It doesn't reflect on your character and unlike some people/metals, Iron will FORGIVE you. Because it's not like you actually meant to stab it, you'd never dream of intentionally hurting it. Iron is the one. It cares about you and can look past a little mistake you made whilst you were maybe supposedly intoxicated. It's not a big deal!!!!!!! Like, who can really say that Gold will be there for them or Titanium or Magnesium, huh? Nobody. Iron has your back. Titanium seems like such a whiny metal too like 'durr you stabbed me, uh bleh it hurts.' Like get over it idiot, it's a stab wound not a gunshot wound. You'll survive. And Magnesium seems even worse 'uhh weeh durr baby don't stab me.' Iron is the way to go. Iron. No other metal will be there for you like Aron.
