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).
FETID!

It’s fine honey, I got this covered.
Hello officer, I got some Elder with me. Never leave home without them!
Nice I really like it.
You’re dropping recomendations for the majority of the comments here, mad respect!
Have some Stonefield as a treat.
I saw them live at a TOOL concert. They were great!
If you like Tool, check out Wheel
I offer Witchcraft by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
I request power metal recommendations, please.
Powerwolf, Alestorm, Gloryhammer, Beast in Black, Manowar
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
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.

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)
Don’t forget BaK, bakmusic.bandcamp.com/
Nightwish - Dark Chest of Wonders
Blind Guardian - Imaginations From the Other Side
Whitesnake - Crying in the Rain
Armored Saint - Upon My Departure
The Black Mages - Hunter’s Chance
Twisted Sister - Under the Blade
Ugly Kid Joe - Jesus Rode a Harley

Blind Guardian and Opeth are sick!
The first time I listened to those songs, they were transformative experiences. So freakin good.

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
Not a huge metal person, but coming from a rock background, I’ve really been into Bad Omens lately. They have a kinda alternative sound to them imo.

I’ve been on a Spiritbox kick for a while. Chelsea Wolfe scratches an itch I didn’t know was there, folk metal, like coffeehouse with the espresso machine grinding out the melody.
I have not heard spiritbox, but I have heard that they are similar to Reliqa, who I absolutely love
I haven’t heard Reliqa and just took a quick listen. No screams, right? Spiritbox has screams, a couple songs are entirely screams. I get this was a question about metal but of course there’s all different opinions about frequency and style of screams. The screams are 50/50 for me but the cleans are excellent, bringing me back to Evanescence. I’ll give Reliqa a full listen though.
I’m going to show my age with this list, and metal is such a large genre I don’t always know what counts. Hopefully there’s new ones for some folks that you’ll enjoy as much as I do.
- Bleed - Meshuggah
- Serums of Liao - High on Fire
- A Colossal Wreck - Every Time I Die I really love this one because I feel like you get 3 songs in 1. Might count as punk instead, I dunno.
- Hypermania - Polaris
- Earth Scar - Decapitated
- Loyal To None - Kublai Khan TX
- Rebuttal - Johnny Booth
- Dark Horse - Converge
- Blood and Thunder - Mastodon
- New Low - Thrown

Here’s few of my favorites
One of my favorites from Kiuas as it also contains part where they sing in Finnish :P More popular songs are “Warrior Soul” and “Kiuassault”.
Turmion Kätilöt - Vastanaineet
2 Times Terror - Ikävässä Paikassa (side project of Turmion Kätilöt)
Children Of Bodom - Are You Dead Yet?, also Oops I Did It Again! is epic 😁
Bring Me The Horizon ft. Babymetal - Kingslayer
Star-Lord band - Zero to Hero (from Guardians of the Galaxy game)
Noora Louhimo is a goddess. What a voice! (The singer of Battle Beast).
I’ve seen her live and I tell you, she somehow sounds even better?!
Battle Beast is currently my favorite live band what I’ve seen. Show has always been epic and full of energy, I just love it.

Death Metal Æther Realm, Heaven Shall Burn
Some sick Pacific Northwest metal/hardcore to checkout:
There’s SO MUCH good modern hardcore music here right now that I’m barely scratching the surface, but hopefully at least one of these does something for you!
