one of my favourite tracks.
spicy take - they are pop, rather than metal.
Yes, pop that is fuuuuun
Agreed, totally pop, much like HIM, https://youtu.be/8AH-tW8OHHs?si=kVzFH_o8zzFR-PNF
I think this is considered prog metal, not sure. But the band Animals as Companions. I think they are fucking awesome. Combat Cartography (iirc) is a awesome track check out.
I’m not into rock/metal enough to know all the genres that well, but alot of the heavier stuff has singers that just ruin it for me. Animals deals with that in Mt favorite way, no singer.
I love Jesters Dance by In Flames, but that seems to be one of the few they have without singing.
If you’re into the vibe but not the singers, you might like And So I Watch You From Afar, Earth, Pomegranate Tiger, Plini, Polyphia, The Algorithm, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, If These Trees Could Talk, Pelican, and Polarization. All instrumental metal/rock at different levels of heavy.
That’s kind of a long list but I hope you find something in it 😅
Well plini I have liked for some time. He recently dropped a track with the guy from Animals as Leaders, Tosin Abasi. It’s pretty good. Thanks for that list tho I enjoy having new shit to lookup on spotify.
And to anyone reading this who read my first comment,it’s Animals as LEADERS and the song I mentioned is Conflict Cartography.
You might be thinking of Animals as Leaders, I can’t find anything about Animals as Companions. And you’re right, they’re definitely prog metal. Super intricate riffing and bizarro time signatures. It’s a good time! I’m not familiar enough with them to know what song you’re talking about, but they’re a very unique group.
Lol yes leaders. Irl animals are usually companions and I just mess that up in my head.
- Aether
- The Absence
- Fox Lake
- Paleface Swiss
FETID!

Devin Townsend is the shit!
Here are two of my favorite songs from his solo project.

Why isn’t hyperdrive! or deadhead on there. His Lightwork album is great too.
I like them too but didn’t want to overdo it, as I didn’t know what kind of a metal fan you were. Were you just starting out or expanding your metal music horizons?
kinda? I’ve been a rock/sabbath geek for years and years. Last 2 years or so, I’ve done some big deep dives into power metal for the most part: Haunt, Wytch Hazel, Night Demon. I’ve been progressively getting heavier and I can finally tolerate growling vocals (which were a non starter for me for a LONG time).
Burzum
Job for a Cowboy - The Forever Rot - technical death metal/progressive metal
Lacuna Coil - Delirium - gothic metal with a mix of clean/harsh female/male vocals
Decapitated - Veins - technical death metal
VOLA - Head Mounted Sideways - progressive metal with a mix of clean and harsh vocals
Caligula’s Horse - Slow Violence - progressive metal with mostly clean vocals
Skyharbor - Miracle - progressive metal with clean vocals
Baroness - Shine - progressive metal with mostly clean vocals and mix of male/female
I don’t understand the hype for The Hu. I’ve listened to several songs and there is very little going on. Mostly playing one chord, in almost the same tempo every song, with drone singing and maybe some fiddle soloing. I tried. Maybe I just picked some bad songs
Always preferred Tengger Calvery over The Hu.

I offer Witchcraft by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
I request power metal recommendations, please.
I request power metal recommendations, please.
Blind Guardian (earlier stuff was primarily speed metal)
Unleash the Archers
Unlucky Morpheus
I hesitate to recommend Iced Earth since the bandleader is a raging POS but they fit the bill
Nightwish is more symphonic than power but they’re top notch and might scratch that itch
power metal
If you let hardcore bleed into the selection a bit, here are some favorites:
- Pantera
- Godsmack
- NIN (Broken EP has more power metal in it than industrial, see “Last”)
- Rollins Band (End of Silence is so great)
- Hatebreed (Concrete Confessional and Supremacy)
- Chimaira
- Lamb of God (dubiously power, more death but that’s ok)
Powerwolf, Alestorm, Gloryhammer, Beast in Black, Manowar
I went to Kamelot’s show last weekend, if you don’t know them definitely check them out. Opening act was Ad Infinitum, I didn’t know them but I was blown away! Melissa Bonny is an amazing singer.
Some female fronted and maybe not so commonly known Bands:
It Was Metal · A Sound of Thunder
A Grave for Each One of Us · Lucifer
General of the Dark Army · Unleash The Archers
Chasing The Mirage · Seven Kingdoms
The Ripper in Black · Savage Master
Pray for Fire · Oceans of Slumber
Sleep Token
These guys have an incredible range and mix up different styles in a way that is quite unique. I’m not normally someone who pays that much attention to drums but their drummer really is amazing. The singer can do both clean and ‘dirty’ vocals.
First time in ages I’ve been excited about a new band!
Will take any excuse to recommend this album: Sybreed - The Pulse of Awakening
Spudboy by Spazz https://youtu.be/w_bxv5Yz0OM
Try out some Botanist.
Two instrument black metal. Drums, and hammer dulcimer. Sometimes has Bass guitar. Very atmospheric. Interesting vibes.
here is their upcoming album which has some good singles
Hamferð is also pretty slick.
Their new album Men guðs hond er sterk is an absolute banger. Absolutely crushing death-doom. Their previous album, Tàmsins likam was probably my favorite album of the year.
I’m listening to Botanist.
Fucking weird, but fucking good.
Hamfero is pretty solid.
In exchange I offer Devil
And Warmoon Lord
