SatansMaggotyCumFartMetal peaked with the first three black sabbath albums.
Black Sabbath on Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath is everything you need to know about metal.

Dude, volume 4 is a masterpiece, with the exception of FX, which is just Iommi stoned out his mind and fucking with his pedalboard. There’s a really good rehash of it done by several artists calls Volume 4 Redux.
The New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal is outstanding. Bands like Haunt (Eric Church), Night Demon, witchcraft and Green Lung are all amazing, have solid sized libraries and are great starting points into other stuff
There are also really cool metal bands out there like Panopticon - he combines black metal and bluegrass with strongly anticapitalistic lyrics.
Dude, as someone who moved on from metal after the Black Album, I'm so amazed you have turned me on to 4 bands all of which I really like on first listen. Thank you so much for giving metal a new lease on life for me! I didn't know anyone was making really good thrashy stuff like this any more.
Try using gnoosic.com to suggest new artists. Its surprisingly old, but uses an algorithm. The algorithm predates AI by like a decade or something - it’s just someone’s nerdy pet project. It’s recommended me bands that have 25 monthly listeners lol.
Clicking on the ‘listeners also liked’ thing on your streaming service is also a good way to find bands.
GladiusBY’all sound like everyone did about rock 20 years ago. In Flames is my favorite btw.
BjörnThe “It’s all metal” guy is an astro physicist.
skulblakaWhere do Powerwolf fans land on this list? Because I am one but I have genuinely no idea if that gives me cred or if that makes me the FNG.
SomeonelolProbably The Weeb archetype. It’s the only one that mentions power metal. Guess I’m one too.
I didn’t learn about metal from anime OPs but I have a few on my playlist.
Okay but as a guitarist, the guitarist from Galneryus is absolutely fucking insane.
I’ve known about them for a long time and they’ve evolved spectacularly.
Also, you’re either a music enjoyer or annoying snob. Do not be a snob.
I recommend Haunt. Eric Church can shred like a mofo
eezeebeeI’m absolutely “the gatekeeper”, but these days I like to keep the gate open and welcome newcomers who are interested in hearing an old man’s ramblings.
I’m the gatekeeper, but I only listen to death, grind and doom. Everything else is more or less bullshit. Especially melodeath.
You’re telling me you never get in a silly mood and put on some In Flames? But only old In Flames, not that new shit.
I used to be an In Flames fan when I got into metal, but I grew out of it and can’t stand that shit anymore. With maybe the exception of a little Amon Amarth.

That doesn’t seem fun at all. I listen to what I like, independent of genre and just respect people that have different tastes than me. Except gatekeepers, get outta here with that snobby attitude.
I do listen to whatever I like thank you, but it happens my tastes are limited. And I don’t give a shit what others are listening, as long as they don’t force on me.
This is where I fit - really obscure tastes, but instead of gate keeping, I’m like a Jehovah’s witness showing up at your door, pushing bands on you if you show even the slightest interest
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
JesusThe classic is just a subgenre of dad.
I think that Dad is the casual version of Classic.
As a Prog Purist myself, this is 100% accurate
Jack Riddle[Any/All]Goddamnit I have a song by Galneryus in the playlist™ I feel called out
I’ve been called out as the gatekeeper :( . Though I do occasionally delve into darker electronic genres like dark ambient or some DnB.

I guess I’m a gatekeeper, but only because some guy used “hey babe, I can play Smoke on the Water by Metallica, want to come over and listen?” as a pickup line, and I laughed at him.
Commenting to come back later and check out some of the filth you heathens are into
BroadfernElectric Callboy and Ghost.
muhahahaha
I heard people say that ghost is metal for people who don’t like metal and i can’t stop thinking about it.
Sorry I listen to mostly metalcore
Im either “The Dad” or “Its all metal”. I really dont give a shit. If I’m headbanging, its a bop
I guess I would be closest to “the prog purist”, though I love power metal, and other subgenres too, so I could also be in the “it’s all metal” category.
This list seems to be incomplete, there are other metal fan archetypes
HossenfefferClassic / Dad
Especially ‘metal died after 1991’.
Okay can somebody explain the appeal of 4/4 to me?
PotatoesFallIsn’t that just the “default” rhythm for most music?
Why though!?
potoooooooo ✅️Because 4/4 = 1
It’s just easy and intuitive. It’s a steady beat, and then you halve the intervals and halve those again.
Triplets are also quite common.
Right but like… It’s not good.
I mean I understand you might prefer other rhythms but now you’re just being edgy :D
I just think 4/4 is for musically illiterate children.
Haha! Now you’re just taking the piss. Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, and any number of modern composers have composed plenty of music in 4/4. Whatever bias you have against western music, there’s no denying they knew their shit.
People have been fucking their children for thousands of years too. I guess that makes fucking children good.
But what’s appealing about it? What’s to like!?
predictability
So being boring?
Predictability can be important in music, depending on what you’re doing. If the audience can’t follow your rhythm, they won’t enjoy the music. I assume you’re a different audience, that’s fine too.
Having a boring rhythm doesn’t mean the rest of the music has to be 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.
Well, 4/4 is definitely the easiest to dance to. It’s also the easiest to ignore in lieu of whatever else is going on musically. It appeals to the lowest common denominator. Not that 4/4 has to be boring or predictable.
So its there because its barely music, and in the western nusical tradition it’s very popular. Cool. Love that. Why would i listen to anuthibg else.
It’s a perfect score
My cutoff is anything before the Black Album. So they've pretty much got me nailed- Classic Metal Purist.
I’m the ‘It’s all metal’ guy and I’m proud of it.
What about the nu-metal peeps, where do we fit in?
We were kicked out long ago. No one talks to us
If things keep going this way I might just break something tonight.
I feel their hate crawling on my asking, these wounds they will not heal
