| I adore metal, but I absolutely can't stand the screeching and guttural vocal people keep doing. It's what been putting me off digging into the scene.
My fav band is Blind Guardian. Love them clear voice. Anyone got recommendations?
| I love BABYMETAL. I don't really listen to metal aside from them, but I don't mind it.
| Vektor is sick, Its pretty proggy which makes them interesting to listen to. The vocalist can turn people off but the melodies and riffs are amazing imo, especially from black future (first album) They broke up pretty recently though which sucks
| I think generally people prefer older metal to newer stuff, maybe cause a lot of new listeners go into bands like metallica and then listen to more bands from that era instead of listening to 2000s bands. I also think that some older riffs and ideas are recycled by newer bands sometimes which I don't really like, it's cool to have new, original ideas and it's getting harder to make songs without overly complicating them. Then again I haven't been listening as much recently
| it's also hard to top classic banging songs
| I've never really been into metal much, but I somehow ended up in a prog metal band (although it's heavily influenced by 80's hard rock)

| I've been listening to Agalloch a lot lately. "And The Great Cold Death Of The Earth" is one of the best metal songs ever written. A great band for those transitioning into the more "atmospheric" side of the genre.
| I'm a big fan of Demetori and lately also been listening to Black Morpheus a lot. On YouTube there's also RichaadEB and LittleV who do awesome game soundtrack covers. These are all mostly instrumental, I hate those kind of vocals as well
| >>227876 Love Demetori, but otherwise not a big fan of metal covers of game soundtracks. I'll check out Black Morpheus, thanks!
| If you like Unlucky Morpheus, also check out that vocalist's other band Lightbringer.
| >>233687 Thanks, they're great!
>>228607 Yeah they're often a hit or miss. You should at least check out these two: https://youtu.be/9Xz4NV0zsbY https://youtu.be/bC6XYAoCjpU
| Imperial Circus Dead Decadence, Japanese metal band. I love their style and their interesting vocals. If you want to look them up, I'd suggest listening to "Uta"

| Any favorite metal bands you'd like to elaborate about?
What do you think about the metal albums coming out today compared to older albums?
What do you think about bands like AIC that dont classify as metal but as heavy as metal?
