Where my fellow underground metal fans at?
-
I don't know if I'm an underground metal fan, but I do like the occasional skull beating. More into the death metal side of things, but really anything that is pretty crunchy (staccato?), has a pretty quick BPM, and not too heavy on the high-end squelchy guitars. Bands like Cancer, Ghoul, and Cannibal Corpse tend to make me happy. That crap with the long melodic breakdowns that claims to be metal (progressive metal I think?) can suck it. I'm also a big fan of Gabber, Hardcore Techno, and Breakcore. Similar sensibilities musically- hard, fast, head crushing drums; basically good for your soul. Folks like Delta 9, Tron, DOA, Doormouse, Unibomber, Stuntrock, Speedfreak, and labels like Mokum, Industrial Strength, Drop Bass Network, Addict, Distort, etc. -
I mostly listen to djent, but I listen to a fair amount of progressive death metal like Opeth, Gojira, or anything Keith Merrow is a part of, some melodic death like Arch Enemy or Orbit Culture, some tech death like Revocation or Fallujah, some death thrash like Feared. I've only found a couple black metal bands I like, those being Immortal (and Abbath), and Antre.Comment

My music taste is all over the place, but I've been on a huge Gojira kick lately. I've liked them for a while, but sorta forgot about them until a week ago when they played some of their songs at a tattoo parlor my girl got inked at. I forgot how amazing they are.
I'd be interested in some doom recommendations. I don't know too many bands, but I like the grueling, pulsing sound of the genre.Comment

Kvelertak has been a go to for a bit. They are something between gojira in sound and turbonegro in vocals.... Granted not english.

When did all these different subgenres start to be identified and named? I'm so lost.Comment

It started with the Enlightenment
Everything is hyper classified nowadays, and any little difference between two things (bands in this case) immediately get scrutinized and after a few more people do it there is suddenly another sub-genre and/or crossover genre out there. On one hand it can make it easier to find similar artists you like, on the other there are now 15 bazillion genres and it can be easy to miss something good just because it is classified in some way that you don't like. I'd wager there are prog metal acts that I would like, but as a 'genre' I despise it 🤷♂️

I love extreme and unsettling things haha. Right now my favorite death metal band is from Spain called Altarage. For black metal, I really love Nahtrunar. A one man act that is brilliant. Doom/stoner I haven't listened to much of lately. But there are too many damn bands I love.
I've also been listening to a lot of modern deathcore shit. Double drop tuned guitar, and basically just gnarly breakdowns for an entire album. Bands like Reflections, Distant, Humanity's Last Breath.Comment

Huge metal fan my metal Playlist is currently at 75 hours long on Spotify. I just discovered hammerhedd though and they absolutely crush it. Everyone here should check them out, especially if you're into thrash and groove like sepultura and pantera, helmet and what not. And they're kids. Like legitimately childrenComment
