That is the exact reason I'm watching this. I know very very little about metal and its subgeneras. I like classic rock and hip hop, but am trying to learn about Metal. I bought my first metal vinyl Metallica's Master of Puppets. I was told that was a good jumping off point. I do like the sounds of the 80s metal over some of the new stuff I've listened to. Maybe that is where everyone starts. I just don't like the growling and incoherent vocals lots of metal bands have.

Ginger, I understand your sentiment. Many like what they like but the most vocal like what they like and think that other's opinions are wrong. Personally I like Power Metal, Symphonic Metal, some Thrash, and didn't like the 90s metal at all. I have no problem with people who do, only those that think Black Metal and Death metal are the only metal. And it is unfortunate that most people who don't like metal or never listen to it assume the worst negative stereotypes about metal heads from the worst examples of fans of those 2 genres. My personal view of music is that if the music is good and the there is a good vocalists and good lyrics then I will listen to it. For an example I like old Metallica because they have good lyrics and good song structure. I don't like Megadeth, mostly because I can't stand the singer's voice, Slayer is just terrible, except the album South of Heaven. I don't like Death Metal as a genre but Jinger has some excellent musicianship and song writing, I could just do without the death growling parts. I like complexity in music, and that includes the ranges of instruments and vocals. I come from listening to classical music as a child and complex orchestration appeals to me. Vocalist with great ranges is important, as well as musicians that explore the full range of their instruments.
@Jamie16611

@@gerardcote8391 now that is controversial, Megadeth i understand not liking, i personally love them but mustaines voice can be a bit shit sometimes, i have the same view on Anthrax, Slayer is intentionally chaotic, thats why they are so loved because they pretty much gave birth to bands like sepultura and testament. Jinjer is ok but i dont like them much because of the style, not because ginger. What some might call tech death is a good place to get into the death growl sound bands like Gojira have incredible musicianship and the singer screams but its still coherent, the same with extreme metal bands like Meshuggah, who are incredible musically and the vocalists has his own sound. unfortunately a lot of metal has the issue of just trying to be the heaviest and the fastest and that takes away from the sound. from what you describe i imagine you would like bands like opeth and dream theater if you dont already listen to them.

Here's my take on your questions : - ACDC and G&R are not metal, at all, they're hard rock with some punchy lyrics. - Pantera suffered from irregularity, they've got a few really awesome songs mixed into pretty mediocre albums, the singer definitely has a monstruous potential (cemetary gates, 5 minutes alone) and they had Dimebag, who's considered one of the (if not straight up the) best metal guitarist ever. - Slipknot and Disturbed are awesome, the other mentions are medium at best, i can't stand avenged sevenfold and i've never met a hardcore fan of them older than 16. - I do not like Judas Priest stuff that much either, the singer's voice and demeanor scream punk. - Please listen to more Iron Maiden, Bruce is such a powerhouse of a singer and their songs are genuinly interesting to listen to. - Do yourself a favor and listen to Rammstein. - Most metal heads i know absolutely love hip-hop (mostly old school stuff), most hip-hop heads i know despise metal, i don't know why but it is something i've seen throughout my life. - It's not about being "that guy" there's very little i find enjoyable in today's music, you don't have to like everything, you don't have to like what's new and trending, i'd rather turn my musical interest towards real classics and learn the history of music than force myself to listen to what's pop nowadays just to be included in the conversation.

The newer bands you didn’t like are actually all huge bands within their respective sub-genres. “Old heads” hate them, but they all brought something new to the table, which is why they all still have huge fanbases and sell out arenas everywhere. Unfortunately, metal as a whole has too many elitist fans that spread hate, rather than just saying it’s not for them.

They use some classic Brazilian instruments, such as the berimbau in the intro to Attitude, Ratamataha is in Portuguese, and they did Itsari with a tribe in the Amazon. Not to mention a lot of the riffs are pretty simple. It might not be the best album for beginners in metal, because of it’s intensity, but its really worth a try

Been a while since I fell in love with a metal band quite as hard. [Edit]: As for my feelings on Korn, Slipknot, and the others, I like them. But I'm a relatively younger metal fan, so some of these bands were my entry into the "metal sound" back in the early 2000s. It's likely nostalgia, but I have a soft spot for them.

They were thrown in the metal pile by the general population a long time ago, as the hard rock/metal differences weren't that clear back then. They're definitely harder than average rock but not metal in my book. I'd say most of Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin's discography wouldn't fit in our contemporary definition of metal either, but back when they released it everything was softer and there was no way to guess how hard metal would become. I mean the "earliest" example was Helter Skelter by The Beatles of all people so

Metal is just such a HUGE and differentiated genre. It takes a lot of time and patience to dig in and all. Also the appreciation comes with time, at first something might not sound even like music, but after a bit you begin to understand it and it all ties together, forcing you to love it. I think some interesting bands to check out would be Behemoth, Gojira, and maybe even push it further with death metal and bands like Fit for an autopsy or Thy art is murder. One of my favourite bands is Meshuggah, but that's a whole different and unique thing, which takes time to appreciate, more than anything i have ever listened to.

Well said! Back when I was younger, I used to only listen to EDM and dubstep and whatever was on the radio, like your typical 10 year old. It wasn’t until I started playing guitar and my mom introduced me to bands like Tool, Filter and Foo Fighters that I got into actual BANDS. My dad then introduced me to Metallica, Pantera and a bunch of 80’s bands. This is when it truly started for me. As I learned guitar, I started listening to music more for the MUSIC aspect, but still hated scream vocals. It was then when I got into Fit for a King and Wage War, and I started to warm up to screaming. Ever since then, I’ve been more and more into it, to the point where Thy Art is Murder, Fit for an Autopsy, Chelsea Grin and Shadow of Intent are among my top favorite bands, mainly BECAUSE of the harsh vocals. I love it now. I still listen to tamer metalcore bands (Northlane being my favorite band of all time, along with Silent Planet, Invent, Animate, Currents and Thornhill), and I also love 90’s alternative, 80’s rock, jazz, blues, 40s-50s, and even classical. I am so glad I opened up to new music, because now I couldn’t be happier with my taste in music. I wish others would do the same and stop backing the whole mumble rap trend nowadays.

Yeah so the four bands you mentioned towards the end... Yeah don't worry about them. Avenged Sevenfold's guitarist has a lot of respect to his name, but he's the only standout (in my eyes anyway). Korn and Slipknot are fairly well respected for creating and popularising respectively the sub genre of Nu Metal, but not for many other reasons, seeing as nu metal is one of the most hated subgenres due to bands like Disturbed, Papa Roach etc (System of a Down sometimes get unfairly grouped into Nu Metal). As for where to go from here, definitely try System of a Down, very funny and wacky at times, but also really catchy and serious at points (melon have their sophomore album a classic review). I'd also say maybe branch out into the metalcore/ mathcore genres(Deep Cuts has a video on getting into Mathcore). There came a point when hardcore punk and metal crossed over in the 90s and so bands like The Dillinger Escape Plan, Converge, Botch from that era are worth a listen, although can be difficult to deal with the vocals, so maybe try some of Dillinger's later albums like One of Us Is The Killer or Ire works for something more experimental at points. This particular brand of more high octane metalcore (steer clear of the emo branded metalcore, it can be pretty cringy and also not really listened to by metalheads, but more by the emo scene and from what I gather, you seem to want the more authentic experience of metal) really prepared me for even more intense extreme genres. Sorry if this is a bit long but I really empathised with your intro. I grew up in an indie, alt rock and pop house, and I still love those genres, but I ended up being the one to introduce myself to metal, and honestly I find it so funny but also slightly heartbreaking for me when I see "metal families" where the entire family of people are all wearing slayer shirts and have long hair and piercings (true story).

Metal was literally the most popular genre of the 90s, after the mid 80s it was definitely not underground. Although there were the purists and snobs fans, in interviews of bands like Metalica you clearly see the bands themselves weren't even close to match the elitism of the fans, and spoke nicely about some glam or other popular metal bands. And even the "serious" metal bands were as much "posers" with their forced angry faces and rebel persona, as the ones that metal heads derided just because those bands had popular appeal. Pop bands just didn't fake it as well and played "happier" songs using major scales which was a give away lol

When I was coming of age, I had a similar problem to you, but the exact opposite. I was metal and rock all the way. My mom and sister liked most "radio rap" (besides like maybe one eminem album they had) but it didn't appeal to me. As I made more friends in my late teens/early adulthood, I found that a lot of them really LOVED rap music, often putting on beats to try and freestyle over for fun. I ended up looking up a bunch of influential tracks, and getting fascinated by the underground and newer stuff. I became a DOOMhead (rest in peace), but also really enjoy Tyler, AFRO, and a lot of other modern rappers who can blend in the boom-bap style. I'm also really enjoying Kendrick too, I can see why he's so GOATed. I think Hip Hop also opened me up to appreciating Jazz more too (thanks to great samples), which came full circle into listening to a lot more Jazz Fusion and Prog Rock/Metal

I admire how you jumped into this. I don't expect anyone who didn't grew up with metal to like it now. It's pretty amazing that you picked three masterpieces that are so different to each other, that's crazy, you got taste brother. And yeah the recent bands you've mentioned before are not very good, and most new "metal" bands are disgusting unfortunately. Your assessment of all this is pretty interesting.

The 80s was like The 2000s hip hop height popularity. A good half of the 80s had a more materialistic thinking sound and a way of flaunting their style. The 90s was the era of grit and grunge in both genres. And the early 2000s was when the energy drink DAD ROCK metal stuff started.

I know you're new to the genre and all of these amazing albums, but you almost fucking killed me when you spelt megadeth like "megaDEATH" Also, some recommendations: Thrash Slayer - Raining Blood Anthrax - Among The Living Kreator - Coma Of Souls Testament - The Legacy Suicidal Tendencies - Lights, Camera, Revolution Sepultura - Arise Death metal (heavier thrash with harsher vocals) Death - Human Death - Symbolic Morbid Angel - Alters Of Madness At The Gates - Slaughter Of The Soul Carcass - Heartwork Entombed - Left Hand Path Bolt Thrower - For Victory Black Metal (very abrasive and raw. Its designed to be that way. Also, tread VERY carefully. Some black metal fans are very intense and defensive of the genre. If you at all try to say why you don't like the genre, they will tear you a new one) Mayhem - Deathcrush Emperor - In The Nightside Eclipse Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger Bathory - Under The Sign Of The Black Mark Dissection - Storm Of The Lights Bane Doom Metal (heavy metal but slower and more melancholy. Can have both clean and extreme vocals) Candle mass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus Type O Negative - Bloody Kisses Sleep - Holy Mountain Electric Wizard - Dopethrone Bell Witch - Mirror Reaper Progressive Metal (pushes the boundaries of metal in terms of technicality instead of extremety, even though it can be extreme and borrow from other metal genres) Dream Theater - Images And Words Tool - Lateralus Opeth - Blackwater Park Mastodon - Crack The Skye Gojira - From Mars To Sirius Meshuggah - ObZen Cynic - Focus Metalcore (heavy metal fuzed with hardcore [a subgenre of punk and in a way, a cousin of thrash metal] once again tread very carefully. The elitists [oldheads for metal heads] absolutely HATE this genre) Killswitch Engage - The End Of Heartache Avenged Sevenfold - Waking The Fallen (probably heavier than the stuff you've heard by them) Bullet For My Valentine - Scream Aim Fire Bring Me The Horizon - Sempiternal Deathcore (death metal fuzed together with hardcore and incorporates breakdowns. This is where a bunch of the modern metal is made) Suicide Silence - The Cleansing Thy Art Is Murder - Hate Job For A Cowboy - Demonocracy Whitechapel - Our Endless War As Blood Runs Black - Allegience Black Tongue - Born Hanged Metallic Hardcore (literally hardcore bands that listen to and borrow more from metal than hardcore) Code Orange - Forever Code Orange - Underneath (literally only dropped a few weeks ago) Converge - Jane Doe Dillinger Escape Plan - Ire Works Knocked Loose - A Different Shade Of Blue Other (groove metal, industrial metal, power metal) Machine Head - Burn My Eyes Sepultura - Roots Blind Guardian - Nightfall In Middle Earth Sabaton - Heroes Dragonforce - Inhuman Rampage Rammstein - Mutter Extreme Metal (exactly what you'd expect it to be. This is the heaviest, most aggressive and most brutal forms of music ever made. I only put this in here if you really wanted to challenge yourself because this would send any new comer running to the hills [yes, that was an iron maiden pun]. Have fun with these and yes, all of these band and album names are real) Infant Annihilator - The Elysian Granderval Galleraich NAILS - You Will Never Be One Of Us Cattle Decapitation - Monolith Of Humanity Cannibal Corpse - Tomb Of The Mutilated Behemoth - The Satanist Fleshgod Apocalypse - Agony Suffocation - Effigy Of The Forgotten Carcass - Symphonies Of Sickness Devourment - Butcher The Weak Best music of last decade. Last decade had a bunch of amazing releases from both old and new bands. I've put down 10 albums which I believe were the best of last decade. Some of these are going to be underground releases and pretty extreme but I fully believe that these albums best paint a picture of 2010s metal Gojira - L'enfant Sauvage Power Trip - Nightmare Logic Deaf heaven - Sunbather Horrendous - Ecdysis Behemoth - The Satanist Carcass - Surgical Steel Bell Witch - Mirror Reaper Code Orange - Forever Mgla - Exercises In Futility Cattle Decapitation - Death Atlas Sorry for the long read but you're literally trying to cover 50 years of music history in the span of a few months. It's really not easy

As you’ve said before: context is king. Something like White Pony by Deftones has a lot more appeal in the context of what the band was going through and takes the lyrics from just a bunch of words into the really twisted and dark underbelly of music. Watching the documentary on the making of any Slipknot album will help you see what they bring and achieve in their music and the context it grew from. Context is king here in metal. There’s a lot of escapism in metal too. The full throttle tension in the verse then the release of the chorus. Musically or lyrically, the themes give the listener power and agency through speed, attack and delivery. Whatever the listener is experiencing, they can latch onto something in metal and transcend it for a few minutes. This stands at juxtaposition to the lyrical storytelling realness of hip hop that works on relatability and matches that with groove to build a community, it’s cathartic in the same way that hanging out with your friends will make you feel better; you’re free to be yourself. Metal is cathartic in the same way that boxing is: you’re free to release yourself.

My two favourite kinds of metal are symphonic and prog. Epica is a wonderful symphonic metal band with energetic, soaring compositions and a combination of angelic clean vocals from Simone Simons and roaring vocals from Mark Jansen. Prog-metal infuses metal style with the intricate composition and strong narrative focus of prog-rock. Leprous, Soen and especially Opeth are sterling examples of prog-metal.

As a life long metalhead (48 year old) I'll say I'm pretty impressed with your video. I think a lot of what you said was spot on. Someone in the comments says you need to understand the genres and I think they're right. Heavy metal is a massive, broad expanse of different music and the time period you get into metal plays a big part in what type of metal you like and also, what you even class as metal. Great video and great to see someone take the genre seriously that's coming from the "outside". \,,/

I had the same problem when I first started getting into heavy metal. It's like you said "I'm not scared of this genre anymore." That's when you need to move forward just a little bit. I listened to Motorhead and Judas Priest and thought "it can't get heavier than this." Then I gave Pantera a shot, and it grew on me. When I thought the same, I heard Drømmer om Død by Gorgoroth and thought "It can't get heavier than this." Then I heard Heartwork by Carcass. Then I thought the same again until I heard Dillinger. It's all about baby steps. Listen until it gets old, then find something that sounds like the other thing, but just a bit heavier. You'll be a Knocked Loose fan before you know it.

Metal is the umbrella term; not heavy metal. Heavy metal refers to the traditional style played by Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Dio, Armored Saint, etc. This includes NWOBHM bands (Iron Maiden, Saxon, Tygers of Pan Tang, Diamond Head, Raven, etc), USPM (Manowar, Jag Panzer, Riot, Savatage, Omen, etc), and NWOTHM (Enforcer, Striker, Ambush, Night Demon, Eternal Champion, etc). Heavy metal is my favourite style of metal. A lot of the "heavier" stuff is metal with punk touches which in my opinion makes it less fun. Trad chads for life!

A couple of rabbit hole recommendations: Rammstein (German industrial metal) Iron Maiden (classic British metal) Power metal in general (usually high tempo and more classic sounding) By rabbit hole, I mean just put on a playlist / album and just let it play. One of the bands that solidified my love of metal was Sabaton, a Swedish power metal band that focuses on telling the stories of war. When it comes to metal though, just take your time getting into it. It's a nearly endless genre of music that can easily overwhelm someone who's just starting on the journey. Hell, it took me around four years to finally start liking Slipknot.

For more older(not too old) stuff, Dopethrone, Agalloch (highly reccomend listening to The Mantle), Opeth, Bathory, Death, Voivod and Celtic Frost.

All great choices expect periphery(one of my favs btw), i know a lot of older metal fans, and death/black metal fans that truly despise that band for his singing style. It's almost like the style of vocals is a mix between pop and metalcore (the emo kind). People should keep an open mind if they don't like the more cringy emo metalcore stuff. Atleast with peripherys older records.
