Best genre?
Reserved.
EDIT: I forgot Power Metal ._. If you love Power Metal, just tick Speed, please ^^'

I'm listening to a lot of different genres, but metal is not really one of them so I can't help you..
So this doesn't fit your taste but it's norwegian and I love it.. Just like this from Iceland. (yea I got a thing for the north and nordic bands)
As well as a ton of electronic music but again, I used to listen to metal about 10 years ago, since then my taste got more quiet :P

Okay, Tôg really isn't for me, Vök again is pretty nice, will add that to my relax playlist :3
And EDM can also be nice, for me it's mostly Drum and Bass though, but there's loads of potential.
Thanks for the suggestions!

I hate what people call EDM, I listen to good techno, house (not the mainstream stuff) and some d&b too.
Speaking of that, here take some more Drum & Bass
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, "EDM" did gain a really vide variety of genres in the last years (I mean, come on, there are ISIS Trap mixes...), but I still call most electronic music like that. My favourite D'n'B artists happen to be Pendulum and The Quemists, and I am not even sure if the latter are D'n'B anymore. I am confused by that whole spectrum of genres, but the same counts for other people towards metal subgenres :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh yea I love Pendulum, though I wouldn't go to purely D&B or Dubstep parties anymore because I need more variety, it just gets too boring since most of that stuff sounds similar..
And well Electronic Dance Music could be everything but the term is mainly used by Avicii / Guetta / Mainstream music which just sounds like was produced for 16 year olds to go (illegally) to their first club partys or huge discotheques full of townies :D Not trying to insult anyone here, I'm just surprised with what kind of low quality music some "DJs" become millionaires ^^

These are all quite epic, I wonder how I could not know of Falkenbach yet :o Going to listen into all of them :)
Thank you <3

I don't have toooooo much metal in my list.
Perhaps Pryapisme might suit you.
The rest of my loud blasting headset stuff is primarily electronic, although perhaps Rain in the Pain might be closer to speedcore over metal.
The rest of my speedcore isn't really metal-influenced, unfortunately!

The hell was that?
I have to admit, the second one is kind of nice, but the first one... That video reminds me of the glorious times on pr0gram...
Thanks anyways for opening that genre up to my brain :3

Wow first person I came across who loves Greg Howe.
But more importantly do you know this one?
Comment has been collapsed.
sigh They are actually quite popular among mainstream metalheads in here... I don't like them that much though
Comment has been collapsed.
That reply what I was expected :).Well I'm not into metal that much so you will probably know everything I know. And I didn't want to go too much off course. Like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HmIZqsnJZc
but if you like Greg Howe you maybe like Brett Garsed too.

too tired now. but how about some classical modern music? will post some links tomorrow (if i'll remember)
Comment has been collapsed.
You mean stuff like Civil War? Or actual classical music? :D
Comment has been collapsed.
You forgot some really basic genres. -_-
I'd vote for thrash.
And I absolutely can't stand anything with "core."
Here's a folk metal song from my country. The band has been somewhat successful overseas, too.

I realized too late how many genres I missed out on ._.
Oh, and Estonian folk is definitely new to me :3
Have some Jim Carrey
Comment has been collapsed.
I listen to everything from metal to classical, (some) rap to jazz.
Then again, I even tap my feet to the sound of machines. :X
Right now, it happens to be Stabbing Westward - The Thing I Hate
EDIT: and now it's Skinny Puppy - God's Gift Maggot :X

This is pretty rad :3 Both of them.
Thanks a lot for the suggestions :)

Where's the "obnoxious Sanic Music" option?
I'm not really a metal fan but I suppose stuff like System of a Down(that's kind of metal, right? Or is it a type of heavy rock?), Iron Maiden, Metallica. That's all I can really list off. I've always been iffy about metal, especially since a lot of it is just loud sounds(like slipknot, I've always thought they were very overrated).
Comment has been collapsed.
System of a Down should be their own genre, because they are still unique xD
Slipknow is pretty overrated these days, but they're good nonetheless. Kinda overplayed.
but why "obnoxious Sanic" when you can have "obviously Satanic"?

SoaD are considered Alternative Metal, that means everything and nothing at the same time.
Good songs, bad live performance, but still a nice group. :)

I like your taste in music :3
Thanks again <3 iRock is pretty sick, but do you know Never heard of it? Sorry for the bad joke.

I love this thread :D <3
I'll add some Polish folk metal here:
Helroth, Cronica, Othalan, Radogost, Runika, Vecordia
...and other stuff I want to mention:
Hunter, Orphaned Land, Aephanemer, Battle Beast (she's fire on stage), Powerwolf, My Riot, Sight to behold, Circles, Diablo Swing Orchestra
...and non-metal bonus Мельница. Maybe you'll find here something worth listening ʕ^ᴥ^ʔ
Comment has been collapsed.
Polish folk is epic, thanks for giving me a glance :3
About the others: Battle Beat, Powerwolf and Circles are in various playlists of mine, going to listen into the others :)
Thanks a lot! :3

One of my favorite metal songs right now: Jotun - In Flames
If you like other languages you might enjoy Mägo de Oz (a Spanish folk metal band). Some of their songs:
Fiesta pagana
Molinos de viento
El atrapasueños
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah I'm not too fond of their more recent stuff... but at least their old songs are still there to be enjoyed :D
Asspera is cool, although their lyrics are a bit too obscene for my taste (not making a judgement here, I'm just very particular about that).
Oh, I just remembered another Spanish group, Tierra Santa! They made a song based on a poem by José de Espronceda which is really cool: La canción del pirata (the pirate's song)

I love this song! I just listened to it and it's amazing :3
Thanks a lot <3

There's a lot of metal music I listen to, but the only group I just would like to recommend to anyone in the world is Ne Obliviscaris.
Here's the most popular song from them.
They do sing in English (they're from Australia), unfortunately for you, but their genre should really matter anyway.
You can call it Progressive Death/Black Metal, but the most important thing is the presence of large violin pieces, constant growl and clean duets and frequent bass solos.
They're pretty unknown outside of Australia (I'm from Italy and here no metal heads know anything about them), but swiftly becoming more and more popular.
At the Cradle of Filth + Ne Obliviscaris concert everyone I spoke with was impressed by Ne Obliviscaris a lot more than Cradle of Filth, so... I'd also say every type of metalhead probably would like them.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, I don't actually "mind" English lyrics, I just love to listen to foreign languages and see what these songs are about. Also, Ne Obliviscaris is awesome, the violin play is on point!
Thank you very much for the suggestion! :3
EDIT: Oh, and have an Australien kitteh:

Okay some czech language stuff.
Master's Hammer - they're active again but their first album from 1991 is still the best. (black)
Kult ofenzivy some newer stuff (black)
Silent Stream of Godless Elegy wow haven't listened to this one in a long time. (folk/doom)
!T.O.O.H.! - this is one of my favorites (death/grind)
pivo

This is weirdly pleasant... The language always seemed weird to me, but especially T.O.O.H. are awesome!
Thank you very much :3

Some of my faves...
Nightscape - Haunted Hill
Stratovarius - Eagleheart
Dragonforce - Through the Fire and Flames
Fear Factory - Hunter Killer
Actually, the entire Demanufacture album from FF is great.
And, of course, Disturbed - The Game
This one's a little out of character for me, but liking Fear Factory, I followed Dino Cazares here when FF was having its kerfuffle. I don't like growling vocals as a rule, but the chorus saves this one, IMO: Savior Self - Divine Heresy
Comment has been collapsed.
Disturbed is kinda overplayed these days. A great band nonetheless :) Dragonforce is an all time classic :D FF used to be better in their early times :/
Divine Heresy is really sick! :3

I don't listen to the radio at all anymore, so I have no idea what's overplayed these days or not. :(
I agree about Fear Factory. And glad you liked the DH. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, in my country they wouldn't dare to play anything like that on public radio stations, except for Nirvana, Puddle of Mudd or Maetallica, but that's a really rare case.
Comment has been collapsed.
not really recognized as an official heavy metal band, due to the 3 woman creating it for a younger public (kindergarten to teenagers) but heavy metal non the less ,,, Baby Metal (japanese pop group) ....
also a big fan of "Sabaton", they make heavy metal / power metal with lyrics about any war (also made theme music, for saving private ryan)
since i have no idea how to create a link in chat, its up to you if you can find a good song or not,,,, :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, Baby Metal has been mentioned above, and I just can't get along with it.
And hell, Sabaton is THE Power Metal band, and actually one of the bands that got me into Scandinavian metal :)
Thanks for the suggestion though :D

Okay, I just felt the need to create a thread to shamelessly promote the first (kinda) proper giveaway I made. It's nothing special and I just wanted to give something back after I've won a couple of games in here.
Good luck!
But there is also a request I have to you, hence the title of this topic. I am always looking for new music to listen to, and as I happen to be a metalhead, I would love to get some inspiration in that direction. I am a really huge fan of unusual instruments and languages other than English, Swedish or German and I love bands that aren't very well-known and still produce amazing music.
Everything is welcomed, even Rick Astley if you feel the urge. (There actually is this sick Astley/Nirvana mashup, check it out here)
So, I guess that was it..
Have a great week and rock on!
