I absolutely love how many elements this song blends together. Electronic chorus, metal-core verse, power ballad bridge, thrash metal, then just a brutal ending. Chef’s kiss on this one.
What is your favorite metal song that you just can’t share with your non-metal friends?
Hey I just joined Lemmy recently since I’m trying to get away from Reddit. Part of what I miss is the music communities for finding recs and concert dates.
Would anyone be interested if I made a space for Metal? Or maybe a more mature one already exists? I haven’t made one yet but I could figure it out!
I wouldn’t call myself a metalhead, but I’ve been listening to Galneryus a lot lately (japanese powermetal). Any recommendations?
If you like light hearted lyrics, gloryhammer and Angus McSix are pretty fun, they don’t take themselves serious, and I love them for it.
Galneryus is so good!
Vulcan is more into #visualkei, so will recommend Versailles.
I’m basic and most of my favorite metal is pretty accessible. That being said, there’s a couple I don’t usually play for my friends:
Yodh - Mizmor
Converge, in general
Meshuggah, in general
Turns out most of my friends are not into grindcore nor do they appreciate me sharing said music.
Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza is another that is such an excellent song but my non-metal friends just hear noise.
I did get the wife to listen to The Chariot but I think that was about her limit.
I’ve not listened to The Chariot in a good long while, thanks for the reminder!
Hell yes! So happy to find some other metalheads here. I’m sort of “basic”, I guess, in terms of my metal tastes. I haven’t been able to get into any harsh vocals. I can get into Mastodon’s harsh vocals and enjoy some of Gojira and Opeth. But other than that, I’ve never had harsh vocals “click” for me.
So I mainly love and always listen to Metallica, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, and Megadeth…NWOBHM stuff mainly. But I want to branch out and get into some newer stuff.
Recently I’ve enjoyed the latest releases from Blood Ceremony, Blood Star and Oozing Wound. Sleep is pretty cool, and I enjoyed Thrice’s newest release.
So I’m interested in finding some new music to check out with you fine folks!
