Metal genres

As a dedicated metal-type autist for over 15 years I am proud to say I'm not on this list. I am the Ambassador, the Professor, the Diplomat. I welcome any and all into the fold and love to help people find their niche. My personal taste leans towards prog, black, and death but my knowledge runs deep and I love to share it.

I am very interested.
But usually I like one or two songs from one interpreter, there are very few albums I like whole (Wintersun by Wintersun is the main exception, that is amazing from start to end).
So it's hard for me to find new music that I like.
I've got a bunch of recommendations scattered throughout the post. Give them a whirl

I think I'm "it's all metal" because I don't care to give thought to every subgenre of metal. If it sounds good, I like it. I have to laugh at the description though because I do really enjoy melodic death metal and I blame Avatar for that.

Random question - anyone know a good site to buy digital music that pays the artists somewhat decently? I've got a few artists I need to get albums from after bailing on Spotify and they aren't on Bandcamp and don't has album sales linked to their official sites. Hell, even physical copies of some albums are hard to come by in the US.
I saw "7Digital" mentioned somewhere but I see there multiple listings for the same album at different prices (literally the exact same album, exact same quality) which makes me suspect it's not as legit as I had hoped.
I use tidal - they get a much better chunk out of the profits. There's another new one out there but I can't recall it's nsm

I have this problem where I love some good metal guitar, but most of the stuff with the sound that I like also includes vocals reminiscent of Christian Bale's Batman with a sore throat, which I do not enjoy. Either that or overly edgy lyrics.
Try Haunt - he can sing. Same with Night demon

I mean I understand you might prefer other rhythms but now you're just being edgy
I just think 4/4 is for musically illiterate children.

So being boring?
Not really. Whether or not a piece of music is boring has very little to do with the time signature.
It's more like a framework.
Perhaps it's also boring that most paintings are done on rectangular canvases, but I don't think a painting necessarily gets particularly more interesting by being done on an oddly shaped canvas.

Edit: Just realised you said you couldn't find the band on Bandcamp, oops.

Trivium, killswitch (with Howard Jones), and dio are all great. Metallica sucks.

I look like Dad, but I'm a fuckin new guy to metal. To his credit, my best friend got me to appreciate Ozzy, Metallica, and Dio in high school. But it took Dimmu Borgir live in Oslo with the choir and orchestra to finally make harsh vocals click for me. I like thrash, speed, power, melodic, folk, prog, and some select black metal. I try not to support Nazi bands.

I feel like I have achieved true metal nirvana since I stopped caring about silly labels. They're only half useful for finding new stuff anyway. If the music activates my dopamine generators, I like it. The only thing I avoid is gutturals, I don't want a fucking horror movie creature on the microphone, thank you.

I'm not really into metal, but I dabble a bit because I like great guitar playing in any genre, but I appreciate your stance. I'm like you, but with other genres like Classical, Jazz, Blues, World Music, and Classic Rock. There are a lot of gatekeepers in those genres, and I like to guide noobs past them, and into new music they can love.

If you like Type O, listen to Woods of Ypres
Not heard of them, thanks for the recommendation, that'll be tonight's listening sorted!

Howard Jones is an incredible vocalist. Have you heard his (not so new anymore) band Light the Torch?

I used to be one or some or all of these.
But some time in the 2010s, or rather over the course of the last 10-15 years, i stopped listening to music by genre and started listening to music by what made me feel good. Like, my phone is filled with music from so many different genres now i can't really call myself anything in terms of music subculture. I'm a music "generalist"? I listen to anything that sounds good to me and don't cut myself off from any genre just because it is said genre.
Except pop.
fuck pop.
Yeah I've focused more on finding stuff I like, and that happens to primarily be punk music. But there's a lot of stuff I like and really the only genres that I can't do are country (it's just nails on chalkboard for me) and pop (because it's too over-engineered)
My wife and my oldest enjoy some pop music and I can find the parts I enjoy but it has to be small doses and has to be something with a hint of actual creativity and soul to it

Probably The Weeb archetype. It's the only one that mentions power metal. Guess I'm one too.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Am also into power metal, I didn't learn about metal from anime OPs but I have a few on my playlist.
