Been on an Avenged Sevenfold kick lately, with a strong emphasis on songs like The Stage and Wicked End and most of their respective albums. I think it's technically progressive or symphonic metal, but it's got a pretty unique sound even within that category. Idk if 'theatric' makes sense, but I'm struggling to put to words what's setting their music apart in my head.

Anywho, I'm looking for more music that has a similar vibe, but running into the familiar problem of streaming services being trash when it comes to categorizing metal. Any recommendations?

Funny Power Metal from Sweden

Growl :)

Tricky spot!

RIP Peter Steele 💚

Forgive me pushing my own stuff here. As some of you know I'm a member of an atheistic Satanic organisation. We are currently running a campaign against the incursion of the far right and hate into various alt music scenes, including metal, called Satan Not Hatin'.

Today we have released a compilation album on Bandcamp called Contra Odium ("Against Hate") featuring the music of thirteen of the Satan Not Hatin' participants. They're all metal bands (plus a couple of punks) on the album and its a real mix of subgenres - Black Metal, Doom, Post, Gothic, Sludge.

Proceeds from the album will be divided amongst participating Orders (UK, Sweden, Pittsburgh and Seattle) and in turn passed on in full to charities local to each Order:

• GOS UK: The Sophie Lancaster Foundation and Hope Not Hate
• House of Heretics (Seattle): The Lavender Rights Project
• Satanistiska samfundet (GOS Sweden): Transammans
• GOS: Steel City (Pittsburgh): Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council

New album out, this album is stupidly catchy. It's a mix of medieval folk and black metal, it's cheesy and I've been loving it.

Behemoth still wrecking it after all this time

A little Halloween filth :)

I hope we're in agreement that Heilung falls under the metal genre.

I discovered Falling in Reverse through Let the World Burn and tried following Ronnie in Xitter for a while and it's just so fucking cringe.

Dude is making some great music lately, but all the "anti-woke" messaging in his latest tracks are such a fucking shame.

I have a pet theory that Ronnie is being explicitly contrarian on social media to feed his creativity through strife and anger. But Xitter being Xitter, he's being increasingly surrounded by reactionary chuds reinforcing his worst takes.

Dude is reaching terminal velocity in falling down the reactionary pipeline. Such a shame of talent really.

Ngl, filth doesn't slap. They fucking curb stomp.

Second video from the home drum studio! New mix, better camera angle and lighting! Hope you guys enjoy! 🤘

Why the full album?

Because fucking Ensiferum, that's why!
