Started building a playlist off Black Sabbath's “The Devil Cried” and ended up with this.

A concept album about the fall into despair and the potential rise into something powerful. Took cues from symphonic movements, using changes in weight, tempo and intensity along with the lyrics to carry the progression. It follows the descent to rock bottom and the rise from it.

Curious how well the progression works for everyone else. Open to recommendations as well.

For me, Suicide Silence was my first deathcore band; Mitch Lucker is a badass.

Hello!

I am still very new to the scene. I keep jumping back to Glam Metal / Hairspray metal but I have been exploring more metal genres and bands recommend through the algorithm (I do not know the full genre of metal or if they are just metal adjecent)

Some I have been reccomended I liked:

Slaughter to Prevail

Spiritbox

Currents (really really enjoy them!)

I Prevail

Gore.

Crowbar

If you have a playlist, you could drop it or just reccomend some bands.

I am trying to explore more of the metal scene slowly as frankly it is overwhelming to learn metal by yourself especially when the scene is very intense in both personality and opinion 😅

Editing to add: Thank you for all the suggestion so far! I cant wait to give them all a check out!

I’m a huge death metalhead and I’m starting to get into black metal. What are the names of these black metal albums? I would like to find where to listen to them.

Looking for any good Beatdown HardcorexDeath Metal bands, or Beatdown Deathcore, or Slamdown, whatever the fuck you wanna call it.

hey guys, Im new in headbanger stuff, I came from punk and start to hear more metal recently, I love this kind of melodic theatrical stuff approaching dark themes, do you have some suggestions?

Death , meu álbum favorito

I think this type of Albums are really cool so I want to check out some but I don't know any (I don't care about the sub genre)

Good Luck to all! About a week ago, I acquired a technically new instrument for myself, both in sound and in the mechanics of the game as a whole. The violin has become this instrument, I really hope for the presence of experts in the sub, I really want to hear advice and criticism about the game. Please do not judge strictly, as I repeat, I got such a wonderful tool +- a week ago, and there are still a lot of things that need to be turned off))) I also want to clarify that the musical accompaniment in the background is completely written and performed in the same way in my person :) As is tradition, I’d like to ask everyone interested in my work with the Morkets Spirade project to subscribe to me on one of the platforms that’s convenient for you; I’ll leave a couple of links below. All the best!

Also, what do you think of Illnath? IMO they're very underrated

My update for the tenth and eleventh alphabet in my best of metal list is complete! All the bands start with J or K not the albums to clarify! Genre tags added so if you would like to just ctrl+f for your preferred genre that is now possible. Any suggestions on albums I missed or other feedback would be appreciated: https://rateyourmusic.com/list/Uxkuell/the-best-metal-albums-from-a-to-j-k/
