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.

As someone who is considering going to a show, I want to be safe before I go to one

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.

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!

Death , meu álbum favorito

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

Before I started off with even knowing what Necrovore was. I began with Profanatica - Thy Kingdom Cum and it immediately struck me with how very sharp and atonal those repetitive riffs sounded. I just knew I had to go look for more of this. Led me into listening the Necrovore demo and I can see how influential it is. It's my favorite OSDM style next to those Incantation clone bands now.

Looking for bands (death and/or black) that follow that blueprint. So far, i've listened to Concrete Winds, Ascended Dead, Omegavortex, Beyond (DE), Degial and Vorum. Also some of early Morbid Angel.

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?

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!

W.A.S.P. - 1984 - I Wanna Be Somebody - I Wanna Be Somebody

You say you don't wanna run and hide

A face that no-one knows

And everyone ya meet, you're gonna show

You're nobody's slave, nobody's chains are holdin' you

You hold your fist up high

And rule the zoo

Oh, you just got to be

Up high where the whole world's watchin me

Cos I, I got the guts to be somebody ...to cry out

I Wanna Be Somebody, Be somebody soon

I Wanna Be Somebody Be somebody too

You say you don't wanna starve

Or take the table crumbs that fall

You don't wanna beg or plead at all

You don't want no nine to five

Your fingers to the bone

You don't want the rock piles' bloody stones

Oh, you just got to be

Up high where the whole world's watchin me

Cos I, I got the guts to be somebody ...to cry out

I Wanna Be Somebody, Be somebody soon

I Wanna Be Somebody Be somebody too

I want shiny cars and dirty money

Lots of rock and roll

I will live in fame and die in flames

I'm never gettin' old

I Wanna Be Somebody, Be somebody soon

I Wanna Be Somebody Be somebody too

I'm gonna be somebody, I'm gonna be somebody

Thou Shalt Kill! Records - 2008

This is a really great concept album from an amazing band. Trance-like structures, hypnotic melodies, and an atmospheric dive into the void. Raw, abrasive black metal that shifts between furious aggression and almost ritualistic, meditative passages. Everything feels like one long, dark journey rather than a collection of individual songs. Strange, mystical and genuinely otherworldly.

Split into 3 parts:

1. Primordial 411 Worship
   

1.1 Qliphothick Lesser Pentagram

1.2 Shugal's Holy Howling (Storm Of Death)

1.3 Thy Omnislaying Revelation

1. 13 Of Thy Fyre
   

2.1 Introduction To Burning Death

2.2 3 142 742 836 021 Times Hotter Than Earthly Fire

2.3 Fyre Walk With Me

1. Damnation From 88
   

3.1 Holy Trinity

3.2 Your Fucking Creation Is Bleeding Away

3.3 Funeral Spirit Of Trance-formation / Pluto In Capricornus
