I feel like I'm "Its all metal" cause I don't judge and will listen to a lot of it as long as I can understand the vocals. But I'll lean more towards the classic stuff like early Sabbath and Dio (both rainbow, sabbath and solo) and if its more modern it just ends up being Iron Maiden (I still love The Final Frontier or Book Of Souls... which are 15 and 10 years old now.. fuck me) or Megadeth. No idea of any new artists after like 2000 lol. I don't see myself here. Maybe "The Casual" is missing.
Metal peaked with the first three black sabbath albums.
Black Sabbath on Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath is everything you need to know about metal.
^ Classic Metal Purist
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 (completely pigeonholed classic purist), 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.
I'm "it's all metal" but in all genres. I just enjoy listening to whatever track that sparks joy (you definitely wouldn't like me DJing on your party, lol)
This meme makes me want to try more metal, and I think that makes me as bad as "the weeb"
I also drew direct comparisons to the electronic music subgenres.
Commenting to come back later and check out some of the filth you heathens are into
Sorry I listen to mostly metalcore
I'm the 'It's all metal' guy and I'm proud of it.
Listening to Tool right now, love 'Maiden but enjoy pre Bruce as much as the rest... NIN, Anthrax, Sick of it All, Type O Negative, Paradise Lost, Sepultura...must be some kinda metal chameleon circa 90s-00s!
The classic is just a subgenre of dad.
I think that Dad is the casual version of Classic.
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.
Why kind of metal is Hoobastank?
I'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.
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
The "It's all metal" guy is an astro physicist.
Can you guys suggest me something like Dinoysus
I've been called out as the gatekeeper :( . Though I do occasionally delve into darker electronic genres like dark ambient or some DnB.
Join the rest of us gatekeepers, you know, unless you are a poser, or something: !thrashmetal@lemmy.world !heavymetal@lemmy.world
Where 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.
Probably The Weeb archetype. It's the only one that mentions power metal. Guess I'm one too.
Im either "The Dad" or "Its all metal". I really dont give a shit. If I'm headbanging, its a bop
As a Prog Purist myself, this is 100% accurate
