Help me appreciate metal

Help me appreciate metal.

The main genres I listen to are hip hop, reggae, and funk.

I also listen to a little bit of punk rock such as pennywise sometimes.

How come I have never heard a metal song I enjoy? It's all just annoying noises that literally give me headaches...

However I believe it's ignorant to say a whole genre is crap.

For example there is lots of really crap country music but there is Johnny Cash.

Show me some good metal that wont make me want to rip my ears off to avoid the pain of hearing it.

Generally for me, thrash metal is what got me into metal. Metallica, etc.

Listen to the first 3 black sabbath album

idk man, but you could listen to some dadmetal like metallica or dio or some shit like that. also lots of normies like rammstein so give them a spin, they have electronics in their songs sometimes too

You get headaches from listening to Judas Priest but you can listen to shit tier punk like Pennywise?

I like sabath, didn't realise they count as metal.

Does twistered sisters metal melt down also count as metal?

I like Judas priest, particulary the song "breaking the law"

what I mean by metal is like guitars and really weird screaming sounds...

This kind of sounds okayish.

That music video is very fedora edge lord though.

>guitars and really weird screaming sounds...

you just don't like shitty music then, you're fine

I just linked the first video that came up tbqh

All metal is a progression. Nobody just wakes up one day and suddenly starts listening to Necrophagist.

You go from one band to another until someday years down the line, you find yourself having explored subgenres you never thought you'd like.

If you let me fuck that lady I will help you

Sunbather is the only metal album that doesn't bore the shit out of me

you can try this one, it's very comfy for starters and isn't as hollow as it could be

youtube.com/watch?v=3czQT52d16s

I'd say try Ride the Lightning by Metallica.

Maybe rateyourmusic.com/release/album/arch_enemy/burning_bridges/

If you just can't find anything you like with metal...well, at least you tried.

Perhaps the reason you aren't into metal it's because you haven't listened to any fun stuff

Here, you should check sum of deez

Kvelertak (Funky, fun, trash everything in the room kind of band, the energy at the end of the song is amazing makes me want to crowsurf)
youtube.com/watch?v=omnFXxlpQ8w

Mastodon is also a good pick, their new stuff is a really easy-listen, if you like them I encourage you to listen their last album, if you want something more aggressive you can check their first albums

Maximum the Hormone, Japanese, crazy motherfuckers
youtube.com/watch?v=fEOKHPC3GMc

If you're looking for something more prog you can start with Opeth's Blackwater Park
youtube.com/watch?v=S1KPqet74EI

Tool is also a good start
youtube.com/watch?v=R2F_hGwD26g

I recomend other bands like Craang, Black Wizards, Mars Volta, Elder, Dwellers. Sum of them are not "all metal" but it's worth to listen

TRY LAMB OF GOD MY MAN TRUE METAL

You'd enjoy these albums

pleb

this, try these and never pretend you are into metal, just stick to these forever and save everyone the trouble of hating you

disgusting

Funk and reggae are hipster genres now.

...

Metal's more about capturing the feeling of being super pissed off. If you're not angsty enough it probably doesn't really sound like anything.

More a description of hardcore rather than metal tbqh

metal is even more varied than rock and especially more so than hip-hop

Gangster rap = I got pissed off so I made everyone my bitch, just look at how much bigger my house is than yours.

Metal = I got pissed off and I am autistic! lets scream REEEEEEEEEE! into a microphone... Hopefully other autistic people can relate.

Metal generally isn't an intellectual genre. Just dynamic riffs and alot of forward momentum.

The bands that take time to appreciate aren't difficult because they're metal, it's because they're incorporating outside influences.

As much as i love doom, black, goth and whatever neurosis is, If you don't like NWOBHM or thrash you don't really like metal.

Rammstein, bro!

Here's a few I like. The links are mostly from the official channel, which a lot of them don't seem to have very good audio quality. These were just a quick search; I'm sure you could find better quality some where else.

It's German, so there are going to be a few parts that sound like they're getting shit out of their throat or something. Just a heads up. And some of the videos might be considered nsfw.

Try Iron Maiden:

try this OP, heavy as fuck but ind of midpaced and uplifting rather than just bludgeoning

metal is shit

your all fucking retarded just calm your shit down and listen to something that sounds good to your earholes goddamn

Real metal fans can tell you better but just like the Classical scene, Metal suffers from a huge number of casual players who are not very accomplished at their craft.

It ends up being a bunch of bang, clank, gong, wonk, etc.

In other words, it's a whole lot of work and it still said nothing.

Classical benefits from the extreme level of technique that is necessary to achieve master status. This gives connoisseurs a place to go once they are bored of the mainstream.

Metal needs to further develop it's own connoisseur level if it wants to stay relevant.

Niggerboi

It should be noted that even the most primitive rappers like DMX can write lyrics with cohesive meaning and narrative progression, unlike most Metalfriends.
