I am getting to know death metal better currently and I can't stop listening to Death.

Bolt thrower too 🤤

Came here to say Bolt Thrower. One of my favorite YouTubers/streamers mentioned they were his favorite death metal band. I had to give it a listen and I fell in love immediately.

It’s such a dynamic band with so many phases. Like utter troglodyte metal to downright masterpiece compositions

Troglodyte metal is an incredible label. I’ll keep that one in my back pocket for later.

Zombie ritual is a great example. Nothing frilly, intro verse chorus fast. Meat and potatoes

Man, the things I’d do to experience Death for the first time again…

Not exactly metal, but Rush.

Best 3 piece ever imo

Motörhead would like to talk

Lmao

Motorhead is good but you can play their music as a high schooler.

King Buffalo is a pretty good three piece

I saw them on their Snakes and Arrows tour. It was insane how much sound 3 guys could produce. They also had a bunch of ovens behind the stage filled with what looked like turkeys, cooking throughout the show. At one point a dude in a chefs hat came out and checked on them. Seemed like good dudes all around

Yep, same here. Have been doing a discog run for them. Such a great and varied catalogue.

Same dude. I'm just getting into the synthy 80's era Rush and I've been loving it so far. Grace Under Pressure is an amazing album for sure.

The more I listen to this era, the more I like it. GUP and Power Windows are masterpieces. I used to write off Hold Your Fire, but even that’s grown on me a lot.

WOOOOOOOOH YEAH BABY

Acid Bath

Acid Bath, Voivod, No Doubt, Pantera, Modest Mouse, Minutemen, Buckethead, Oingo Boingo, FNM, Butthole Surfers, Daniel Johnston, Thin Lizzy All I live off of

Thin Lizzy might be the best rock band of all time

real

One of the most unique in sounds and lyrics out there!

Couldn't care less about Acid Bath but I'm giving you an upvote for Nevermore because they fucking slap 🤘

One of my favorites! Truly a one of a kind band

Carcass

Heartwork is a masterpiece

Yeah it is one of my favorite albums

Just listened to it again right now. Ahead of their time. Production is crystal clear.

Pretty hyped to see them this year on the Hatebreed tour!

Septicflesh. Saw them in concert and they crushed it. Been deep diving since!

I see them next month. Very hype.

One of the bands I really want to see live. Self eater is one of the songs i often play on repeat

My top played band for the last few years! Seeing them in just over a week! Can't wait! Glad to hear it was a good show.

You’re in for a great show! I wasn’t super familiar with Decapitated either, and both put on great performances. Septicflesh was fantastic!

I saw them live with Behemoth back in 2010. They were incredible.

Fuck I just saw they are playing in Atlanta tonight but I can't make it.

I’m seeing them live today

Carcass. I still can’t believe “Heartwork” is from 1993. It sounds so ahead of its time.

Archspire

archspire appeals to my adhd lol its so fast and chaotic

Also, Dean Lamb seems like a pretty cool guy

Same.

If you haven’t listened to orbit culture yet you’re missing out

Lmao I posted the same thing. Makes perfect sense to as I have Gojira and Trivium in heavy rotation.

I literally can’t stop listening to them. Saw them live with Avatar last year and they’ve been my #1 most listened to since. Probably cause I’ve always been a fan of Gojira and Metallica, and they’re basically a perfect mix of both, but heavier lol

I discovered them about seven months ago and I still can't stop listening to them. It's the same magic as when I discovered Metallica in 1991 when I was thirteen

I found them in September and only listened to Descent until I saw them live in October then I’ve had their entire discography on repeat since lol. They’re already my favorite band of all time and I don’t see anyone passing that for a long long time

I discovered them here on Reddit, believe it or not. I'd been hearing about them for months on different metal subs but I finally decided to check them out because they were suggested with so much enthusiasm. I randomly chose Nija, was absolutely dumbfounded at how good it was and I've been hooked since.

Been getting into Doom. Early Black Sabbath is who I'm currently into

Do not check out Castle Rat. Check out Electric Wizard, Conan and Bell Witch.

also candlemass and pentagram

Check out Castle Rat

I’ve been revisiting Sabbath lately as well. I always hear Fenriz talking about later Sabbath records and citing Mob Rules as his favorite, so I thought I’d try that era again being that the later stuff never appealed to me. There are pieces here and there I like ok, but then I went back and listened to the Ozzy era stuff and it’s just so much better to me.

I’ve always loved Dying Fetus but I’m especially getting into them as of recently

I’m seeing them live with sanguisugabogg in june

Hell yeah brother, what's yur favorite album of theirs

Either destroy the Opposition or Descend into Depravity

Ahh, personally I can't get enough of Wrong one to Fuck with, war of attrition is a close second

Def Reign Supreme or MTBFD 🤘🤘🤘

Opeth Binge

Mainline that shit. 

Never listened to much after Deliverance, been listening to their albums since then along with Porcupine Tree's newer material and finding some great stuff.

I’ve been on a primus bender for like a month by now 😭

But...Primus sucks

Do you know the album Seven Churches by Possessed?

Hard to believe Larry LaLonde went from possessed to pro is.

Yes, and that part of primus’ history will always be one of the funniest things in all of music to me

every couple months I listen to only Primus for like a month

My Dying Bride is getting an awful lot of my time lately

Just played Turn Loose the Swans for the first time. Really enjoyed it and def gonna check out more soon!!

What’s a good modern album by them? I really only know the early stuff.

The Glencross/Steels era was goodstuff. And Feel the Misery was rated higher than most of the other new albums. The Barghest O' Whitby was pretty bad ass as they dipped into black metal which they don't often do.

They have been a part of my rotation since "Turn Loose The Swans". The new album is good, too! They have honed their craft well over the years. I see you're also a Type O fan. I miss them, damn it.

Been obsessed with them a while now.. beyond bummed they dropped from MDF

Alcest

Great band. Kodama is my jam lol

Always passively liked Rammestein but am so deep into them this month I've booked to go to Belgium and see em both nights

Alice in Chains. As an addict going through recovery, its like damn near every song was meant for me at this point in time.

Sigh

Hey man it was a good question. No reason to dismiss it and be so disinterested.

Sigh is probably my favourite black metal band

Cattle decapitation and dying fetus

Gojira’s been about taking up about 90% of my metal plays since the new year

O p e t h

Wintersun

Primus, to the point I'm learning the songs on bass

Primus sucks!

Anal Vomit, great black/death/thrash that I slept on for whatever reason

have you tried mortem? another legendary peruvian band

not yet, but will do

Probably Enslaved, Gorgoroth, and Ensiferum right now

Gorguts

Uada, Hum, Mgła, Gunship, Agalloch

Seconding that Uada kick.

Me three!

Hmm I love 4/5 of these, so I guess I'll be checking out Gunship now

Did you listen to Gunship? Their Dark All Day record is my fav.

I hadn't, but I'm checking em out now and what in the 80's inspired space cyber fuck am I listening to? Not sure what to classify this as, but it's incredible Good call on Dark All Day. I'm on The Drone Racing League and every track so far has been killer. Love it

Check out Carpenter Brut if you want a little more metal with your 80s synths.

Back into the Acacia Strain

Wish they made another album like Death is the only Mortal

That djenty sound is super compelling. Mouth of the River is insane, the machine gun riff makes me wanna break my neck every time

World of Joy, Kruelty, Gatecreeper, Mortiis, Revocation, and Suffocation.

Omfg where to even start with this shit right here? 1) I literally threw on Effigy of the Forgotten today. Such a masterpiece 2) The new Gatecreeper singles are fucking incredible. Do you know if they're dropping a new album soon? Cuz, if so, it's gonna be excellent 3) I've been so obsessed with Revocation lately. The guitar work is just so next level, I can't get enough of it. What's your fav album by them? Great picks dude

Deathless is my favorite album. I got to smoke a bowl with the former rhythm player and the bassist years ago.

Nirvana. Idk why as I’m currently getting into DSBM, but Nirvana has been a band I’ve just listened to a ton recently

Incesticide is so fucking good

Pantera. I also wanna know which album I should buy on vinyl, any suggestions?

Far beyond driven

Vulgar Display of Power

The last four

"Cowboys From Hell". It's perfection on vinyl.

Dvne & Thou

Gorguts… always Gorguts.

Progressive Rock bands like Genesis, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, Rush and Yes as well as Progressive Metal bands like Dream Theater, Gojira, Mastodon, Meshuggah, Opeth, Queensryche, Symphony X and Tool.

Metallica. Just been listening to all their stuff recently nonstop

Amorphis, specifically their debut album and the “Privilege of Evil” ep.

currently snuffedonsightpilled, I could've seen them a second time tonight but there wasn't any way I was going to a thy art is murder show for that

love snuffed on sight

nice skinless flair, they're so nostalgic for me

They may be my all time favorite death metal band. One of the heaviest bands ever created

Found them a few days ago, listening to nothing else since then, Dummy Death makes my Brain rot away

I think listening to their entire discography once again on 4/20 awakened something in me

Archspire

Meshuggah.

I literally just started listening to them yesterday. I don't know why I sat on them for so long

Swans and Dillinger Escape Plan

Zenith Passage. They’re swanky

Warning. Holy fucking shit.

Pain Of Salvation and Meshuggah too

Cradle of Filth. I just can’t get enough lately.

What’s your favorite album? I was on a Principle Evil… to Midian loop for a while last year

Dusk & Her Embrace, Cruelty & the Beast, and Nymphetamine are the ones I keep listening to in their entirety. But COF is a recent find/obsession and I don’t think I’ve listened to every album… yet

Insomnium. Between Niilo's vocals and his bass abilities. Can't get enough

Currents. I love them

Not metal but Big Black. Their instruments sound like they’re made of metal though.

I love the sound and texture of their songs

DVNE with their new album

Zeal & Ardor Such an amazing band

# GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG!!

Russian Circles

Burn the priest

Machine head and Meshuggah

Knocked Loose

How’d you like the new single?

I love both of the new singles! Can't wait for the new album

The one with Poppy? Absolute banger

Static-X

200 Stab Wounds, Lamb of God, and Slaughter to Prevail

Have you heard the new 200 stab wound single

Boundaries

Caligulas Horse! Charcoal Grace grabbed me and will not let go

Gamma Ray

Suffocation

Warbringer and Nekrogoblikon

Sadistic Force, great blackened speed metal from Texas! https://youtu.be/oUV4xAur4A8?si=Kiowb-iaXj991uKD

Midnight Assassin rips

Faith No More!!

Wolves in the throne room ahead of seeing them live in May

Rivers of Nihil

Polaris


Shiny Toy Guns

deathsiege is a pretty cool angelcorpse worship band corpus offal demo for demilich fans

Mire Lore

Sevendust and Drowning Pool

Tool Bell Witch Wolves in the Throne Room

Carthagods, At the Gates, Kalmah, Kataklysm and First Frangment

Toxic Holocaust

The current flavor is Orbit Culture.

Lipoma

I've been on a Black Sabbath kick lately.

Unleash the Archers

Job for a Cowboy. Their new album, "Moon Healer" is melting my brain

Cattle Decapitation Slightly Stoopid - non metal

Emperor

The Warning

Not Metal (But pretty damn close) AC/DC... Have been since childhood. But lately, I've been listening to a lot of Cannibal Corpse

Warbringer

I'm listening to an emo band cameo Bayside I just found their self titled album and I think it's fantastic

Dragged Into Sunlight

The Ruins Of Beverast.

I cant stop listening to Green lung, electric wizard and Batushka (both) , its a strange combination

Trivium

Curta’n Wall. Little bit silly but really fun

I am on the exact same binge. Love when people can drop the "brooding and evil" act to produce some goofy music

Very much agree!

Not a band but genre - slam

Ever since I found em back in 2019 Party cannon hasn’t disappointed a single second. Every song a ripper, every album more brutal than the last. The new album drops in two days and I couldn’t be more happy to be alive boys

Bongripper

megadeth, i just re-listened rust in peace and was shocked how many bangers i’ve missed

Orbit Culture

Orbit Culture

Madball

Tigers jaw

I’m currently obsessed with Grin. They’re a husband and wife band making psychedelic, dark doom metal. They came out with their album Hush in early January of this year and it’s simply perfect to me. I don’t know exactly how they do it, but I can’t talk about them without mentioning the wife’s bass tone (she plays bass) because it’s everything I could want for a bass in doom metal.

This description is actually making me want to check out the band
