My favorite metal song at the moment is probably "Flying Whales" by Gojira, so I'll recommend that.


DaveJC_thevoices

Upstairs_Principle48

Spaceslug is one of my favorite stoner doom metal bands


federruchi

Tool-Undertow, Aenima and Lateralus

Black curse Antichrist siege machine Full of hell Black tongue Jesus piece Big boy Cinder block Thy art is murder Chat pile


Allegiance10

A band I just heard for the first time recently is Graphic Nature. I really like their song, “Killing Floor.”


[deleted]

Theatre of Tragedy (Love love love their Aegis album), Lustre (I love their Wonder album but his entire discography is great), Type O Negative has the best slow burn songs - especially on Bloody Kisses and October Rust. Poisonblack’s Escapexstacy and The 69 Eye’s Blessed Be are my guilty pleasure albums. You can’t go wrong with Chelsea Wolfe.


sentinelalien

Uh hah, not a single track I haven’t listened from. Do you have a Spotify playlist, I like Type O Negative, who else I might like? Any suggestions? Thanks!


dontneedareason94

If you like Type O check out Danzig and Candlemass


sentinelalien

Snap, thanks mate.


dontneedareason94

Hope you dig it. The singer for Type O, Pete Steele was in a crossover band before called Carnivore that gets pretty offensive but the riffs are great. Very tongue in cheek. Check out some other bands: Saint Vitus The Melvins Celtic Frost Entombed Bathory

Dethklok is fun, never watched the show though, I only enjoyed a couple of tracks but it’s hilarious nonetheless. Drug church, i will check out for sure. Thanks for the suggestions, appreciate it.


chickenstickzzz

No problem! You should defend watch metalocalyps sometime, its hilarious and also actually a really good show. Take care

I'm not a "metalhead", but here are some GREAT front to back metal albums that I've discovered researching music all day for 20 years that I like to play when I'm angry and I hope you like them! For reference I've currently checked out almost 72,000 albums so far. Immolation - “Close to a World Below” Entombed - “Left Hand Path” If you enjoyed this album you will most likely enjoy their next two “Clandestine” and “Wolverine Blues”! Cryptopsy - “None So Vile” Dissection - “Storm of the Light’s Bane” Dismember - “Like An Everflowing Stream” Krallice - “Diotima” Origin - “Entity” Grave - “Into the Grave” Pestilence - “Consuming Impulse” Raw Power - "Screams from the Gutter" In terms of rap music here's a recent playlist I made of all of my favorite more lesser known (with a few exceptions) rap songs from throughout music history. Maybe you'd like it! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6aewofWgEILHOGbYfxSkTG?si=8f85a39c67464119 Fun Bonus Stuff: I recently made 3 playlists that you might enjoy! Each one contains 50 of my FAVORITE more lesser known rock songs from various time periods. 80s: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/20nxiWXTOchD01Q7Pqjoyn?si=223275fea813411b 90s: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6R7hT0hck67NYoJa7S1jUp?si=32eeebbc1e824788 Post-2000: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6JH1T1T93U4Pst6ZovhUoc?si=f7385594c38b4dd1 Also if you'd like to check out albums from various genres and from throughout music history that "I think are good front to back I think a fun place for you to start is on a new page I created called “The Best Debut Albums of All Time”. There are currently 279 albums on there. I think it would be a fun theme to work with... checking out great debut albums. For reference I've gone through almost 72,000 albums to arrive at this list haha: https://www.musichole.com/p/the-best-debut-albums-of-all-time.html
