Any other metal heads make it here yet? (youtu.be)

I absolutely love how many elements this song blends together. Electronic chorus, metal-core verse, power ballad bridge, thrash metal, then just a brutal ending. Chef's kiss on this one.

What is your favorite metal song that you just can't share with your non-metal friends?

Reddit refugee - So I think I might be considered a baby metal head, though I just started getting into this genre. I'm guessing that what I've been listening to is more "light metal" but I have no idea

I had never listened to metal before and always though it was too screamy, but I let youtube music autoplay do it's thing, and it has somehow played some songs that I genuinely really, really dig

It started by playing me Sabaton, but I've somehow veered towards artists like Beast in Black - it seems more melodic?

Some of my favorites so far are:

They Don't Care About Us by Beast in Black (I know is based on Michael Jackson's)
No Surrender by Beast in Black
Sweet True Lies by Beast in Black
My Dystopia by Beast in Black
Presence of Mind by Dynazty
Heartless Madness by Dynazty
Fly Away by GloryHammer
Night of the Werewolves by Unleash the Archers

I'm not sure why, but I think I've seen some judgments against people who listen to these bands. Maybe they're overrated or not the real deal or the stereotypical "starter metal bands"? Either way, as a musician (Violist in orchestras) I love how these songs have a tune to them and are melodic. I tend to veer away if it's too monotone or screamy, but I'm open to more suggestions :)

My wife, who is not a metal head, was amazed to discover the vast number of sub-genres within the broader metal community. Like what you like, other people can like what they like and that's ok!

As a classically trained musician, have you looked into Tool at all? Their song construction is amazingly complex and fascinating.

Yeah like I honestly had no idea! I thought it was just like screamo but with some more tune and less screamy, but a lot of it I'm really enjoying a lot!

I haven't looked into Tool yet, I know of it, but I'll give it a listen! I'm a sucker for blasting Beast in Black going home on the garden state parkway lmao

Edit: Checked out Tool, sounds good, but maybe not as "hype" as what I'm looking for? I just searched for a community "best of" playlist. Found Schism, which I remember from playing guitar hero lol
