Now that i think about it that time around 2010s when millenials were in high school and this 80s thrash metal nostalgia was a huge thing in some circles it was somewhat ridiculous but what i keep seeing right now is high schoolers being 'nostalgic' for scene/'emo' of all things like why are you nostalgic for the most shit tier thing in history couldnt u pick something less lame

well... more commonly known metal sub-genre, at least :)

please reblog if you can for increased sample size, etc :)

MTL characters but in totally different metal genres

Hope they make side projects with these

I think Nathan actually doesn't go well with black metal because of his deep death growl vocal and he isn't skinny enough so yeah death metal is best for him but as Dethklok plays MDM/DM music so I had to choose something different.

Pickles, he really fits in stoner genre things cause he's an ACTUAL stoner, smoking bunch of weeds and bongs. Plus its stereotypical outfit looks pretty good on him too. Smoke weed everyday

Skwisgaar should start another side project which plays viking/folk metal but not the kind of Korpiklaani/Equilibrium folk style, more like Moonsorrow or early Ensiferum. Oooor kinda like Falkenbach. Well I kept listening to Bathory albums(viking metal era) when I drew him.

Toki may play power metal for ✶ 🎀 𝓀𝒾𝓉𝓉𝓎 𝒸𝒶𝓉𝓈 🎀 ✶ just like Hevisaurus does to kids, tho he's Norwegian and looks like he's somehow connected with black metal - his appearance on 1x16, having a friend who is a fan of black metal - everyone knows he's the naÏve guy in the band so only power metal can protect his childlike innocence.

Murderface was the hardest one to come up with but I guess 80s thrash metal will be the best. Curly hair(I guess so, no one has trapezoid shaped hair in real life) and his vest which reminds me a battle jacket. Planet Piss is sounding to groove/industrial/nu metal and groove metal was inspired by thrash/heavy metal so it makes sense.

And these are my inspirational songs for this post

[birdofmay]

do have metal recommendations? I'm new to it. really completely new

*typing up a storm* You just activated the autism in me! 😄

Alright, here's a brief overview. Followers, feel free to recommend songs in the comments, if you listen to metal.

What bands you should know, at least their names:

Black Sabbath, Sepultura, Kiss, Van Halen, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Pantera, Anthrax, Helloween.

No need to know and like their songs, just know that they exist. There are some more, but you'll encounter them eventually anyway, I'm sure. Note that certain old bands are controversial now, for example Pantera and Metallica.

Some recommendations:

Heavy Metal:

The "How it began" part. Just check out Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Black Sabbath. You should know

Thrash Metal:

The earlier albums of Metallica, Testament, Exodus, and of course Slayer. "Raining Blood"

is well known, and I connect "Bloodline"

with long road trips as a child.

Doom Metal:

Some Black Sabbath is also considered doom metal. Apart from that I recommend Pentagram and Witchfinder General.

Black Metal:

Not mine, personally, except for certain derivatives, but they'll come later. I like very few black metal songs. They are:

Death Metal:

Many subgenres, I personally prefer Melodic Death Metal. Cannibal Corpse is well-known and also Obituary. Check out Debauchery, some In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, and Arch Enemy too. Recommendation:

But to be honest, most Children of Bodom songs sound alike 😂

Dark Metal/Gothic Metal:

Hard to sort the whole discography of one band into this subgenre. Some Cradle of Filth, some Sirenia, some Samsas Traum, Type O Negative. I also like

Power Metal:

Sabaton, Powerwolf, Manowar (not everything), HammerFall, Grave Digger (not everything), Sonata Arctica, some Blind Guardian. Power Metal often has characteristics of Symphonic Metal in some songs, so it's hard to put one band in one strict category.

Symphonic Metal:

Nightwish, Xandria, Within Temptation, Epica. Too many favourites to recommend a specific song.

Progressive Metal:

Dream Theater, Opeth, Tool, Symphony X. Specific song:

Folk Metal:

Some Ensiferum, some Eluveitie, Týr, Finntroll, some Svartsot, Korpiklaani. Song recommendation:

Viking Metal:

This is actually a "Whatever, as long as it's about Norse stuff and the Viking age" genre. This is why many death metal, folk metal, and power metal bands ALSO are considered viking metal.

Amon Amarth are very well-known, I'd recommend

Pagan Metal:

Also a "Whatever, as long" category. Most folk metal bands are simultaneously pagan metal. Moonsorrow are more black metal but also pagan metal, which is why I'll briefly mention them here.

There also are Varg, but if I'm not mistaken they had some right wing stuff going on, so be careful there. I'm not sure what happened, but I think some of the band members openly supported a neonazi group. Could be that the members were kicked out after that, but even if everything is alright now, they still have a negative connotation.

Somewhere in between all this, there's Alestorm. They're also considered pirate metal, btw. But I'm not actively into that, which is why I put them somewhere in-between.

Industrial Metal:

This is your outsider, and I think every band considered "Industrial Metal" is at the same time considered 5 genres more. Rammstein, Nine Inch Nails, Eisbrecher (some would say it's Gothic), Ministry.

Nu Metal:

Some people would say "Nu Metal isn't metal!!!", but I like it anyway. Check out Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, Korn, Disturbed. "Duality" by Slipknot is the song of a common meme ("I push my fingers into my eyes") 😄

Also Machine Head, but it's hard to categorise them. I just checked, Wikipedia says they're sometimes considered "neo-thrash". Well I guess they're a bit of everything, but their newer albums definitely have nu metal character.

Metalcore:

If you say you're a metalhead but only listen to metalcore, metalheads will hate you for this. Just so you know. ☝🏼 It's a valid genre, but you're on thin ice if you don't listen to other metal genres. There are many overlapping genres here, which is why, again, it's difficult to label bands.

Parkway Drive (some would scream that they're post hardcore), Silverstein (some would scream that they're hardcore punk, others that they're emo), As I Lay Dying, Killswitch Engage, Bullet For My Valentine (some would scream that they're emo, others would say they're heavy metal), Bring Me The Horizon depending on the song, August Burns Red.

Lamb of God are considered metalcore too, but in my opinion they're more metal than metalcore. Anyway I'll mention them here for the sake of classification.

Yeah, that's about it, I guess. This post is already very long, so I guess I better stop at this point. I hope from here on you'll manage to navigate through the big metal genre yourself 😄

P.S.: I forgot Trivium! "Feast Of Fire" is currently stuck in my head

[silly-centipede]

Metalheads please help

I'm generally an idiot when it comes to genres and what ends up happening is I find music I like but I can't search for it cuz idk what the genre is

BUT I found out the songs I've been really vibing with are in the death metal, black metal, and thrash genres. So if any nice metalheads have suggestions for me to listen to, please give them to me! My askbox is open

[metalloverr]

Guys, I would like to dedicate you more to the famous genre of music. I'm still using this blog, so...

Metal is one of the most popular and diverse music genres in the world. It includes many subgenres, such as heavy metal, thrash metal, death metal, black metal and many others. Each of these subgenres has its own characteristics and fans.

Heavy metal is the basis of the genre, it is characterized by heavy guitar riffs, powerful vocals and fast tempo. Thrash metal is characterized by even faster and more aggressive guitar parts, as well as more complex drum breaks. Death metal adds even more aggression and gloom to the music, using extreme vocal techniques and heavier guitar riffs. Black metal is distinguished by even more extreme vocal techniques, the use of satanic symbols and lyrics, as well as dark and dark album covers.

Each of these subgenres has its own fans and its own history of development. Some bands, such as Metallica, Slayer and Megadeth, have become real legends of the genre and have had a huge impact on its development. Other bands, such as Cannibal Corpse, Kreator and Behemoth, have created their own unique styles and trends in metal.

Posting about my metal subgenre guys under the read more because I feel bad for posting art of them with basically no context (yay)

So, I’d like to think that most music genres have some sort of soul, just based on humans and their connection and love for music. My characters are basically a physical manifestation of that; corporeal representations of the music genre they represent. They’ll exist as long as people out there actually give a shit about the music, and considering how passionate metalheads are about their music, they won’t go away any time soon.

Since they aren't human, they don't need to do stuff like eat or sleep, but they can choose to do so.

The horns and tails that the extreme metal subgenres have are just for show and are only there to make them more distinctive in design. They aren’t demons or anything. I just like goat horns.

“How do they integrate into human society?” It’s not like they’re out of their element or anything. They behave like the fans of their music do. The only thing that would really impact that is their eclectic fashion sense/extra body parts, but I think it’d be funny if humans didn’t care about that sorta thing after a while, so it’s just not a huge issue in-universe.

"So what subgenres have you personified? What are their names?" Everyone tends to classify metal subgenres differently and there's so many depending on who you ask, so I'm only using 12 of them. Sorry if your favorite subgenre isn't on here! I just want my life to be easy.

Heavy Metal (basically whatever you think of when you think about English heavy metal bands from the 70s-early 80s.): Graham

Hair Metal: Roxanne

Doom Metal: Björn

Thrash Metal: Rocky

Death Metal: Cris

Black Metal: Orcus (Sven)

Power Metal: Hannes

Folk Metal: Vesa

Prog Metal: Jean

Symphonic Metal: Annette

Industrial Metal: Johann

Nu metal: Wes

"What are their ages?" I guess they're the same age as the subgenre they represent. Mentally and physically, though, they're like...20 somethings. Their ages don't really matter, but if you're worried about that kind of stuff they're all adults, so it's whatever.

I don't have any huge thing planned for them at the moment. They're just silly guys that I like to draw. I do plan on going back and tagging all the art featuring them as "posers" since that's what I call their universe. I'll probably go back and tag each character too if I'm not lazy.

Thanks for reading!

Hi Chris! I followed you a few years back because you posted a lot of Jazz and Hip Hop but I know you're into other genres as well. I've been trying to branch out a bit and you seem like a good person to ask for recommendations, so I was wondering if maybe you could post some of your favorite band/artists currently or anything you'd recommend? Any genre is fine! Love your blog btw, glad to see you're still on here :) Cheers!

thanks for the kind words anon, always nice to feel like the time i've spent on here wasn't a complete waste. sorry it took a few days to respond to this, but i wanted to give a more in depth answer. i can throw out some recommendations for sure, i basically just went through my last.fm from the last year and added all the non hip hop / jazz stuff to a list. you didn't mention if you were into metal or hardcore at all and there's quite a bit of that on here, but if you're not interested in that let me know and i can suggest some other stuff. i'm not a genre expert or anything but i did my best to give a brief description, so maybe if you end up liking one of these artists it'd be easier to find something similar. also a good chance you might be familiar with some of the ones that are more hip hop adjacent. you can also click the name of the artist and it'll take you to an album i recommend on bandcamp or spotify. i'd also be down to do another one of these later if you want, you can even hit me up off anon if you want. i appreciate you and i hope you're doing well! peace.

tried to make this as neat as i could so i put it in alphabetical order and made it a read more. 1. 10th Letter (Electronic/Jazz/Hip hop - Underappreciated producer, if you’re a fan of Flying Lotus you’d probably like this) 2. Alvvays (Indie Pop / Dream Pop) 3. At the Drive-In (Post-Hardcore, Relationship of Command is my favorite album in the genre) 4. Autonoesis (Thrash Metal / Black Metal) 5. Birds in Row (Post-Hardcore / Screamo) 6. Blood Command (Poppy Post-Hardcore/Alt Rock. Not a huge fan of their new vocalist, but the previous album and EP with Karina are both fantastic) 7. Boris (Drone, Stoner Rock, Noise Rock, Sludge, Post-Rock, Crust Punk – depends heavily on the album. ) 8. Bruno Pernadas (Progressive Jazz Fusion Art Pop) 9. Brutus (Post-Hardcore / Post-Metal, Stefanie is one of my favorite vocalists right now) 10. The Callous Daoboys (Mathcore) 11. Chelsea Wolfe (Darkwave / Gothic Rock / Doom Metal / Dark Folk) 12. Cibo Matto - (Art Pop / Trip Hop) 13. Cleric (Avant-Garde Metal / Mathcore / Brutal Prog) 14. Cloud Rat (Grindcore / Punk) 15. Converge (Metallic Hardcore, another all time favorite band.) 16.

Gospel (Blend of 70s Prog Rock with Screamo/Post-hardcore, with their 2022 album being a lot more of the former but still very good.) 24.

It’d be easier to list the rock subgenres they haven’t dabbled in) 30. Knoll (Grindcore / Death Grind) 31. Krallice (Avant-Garde Black Metal) 32. Liv.e (Neo-Soul / Alternative R&B) 33. Massa Nera (Post-Hardcore / Screamo / Post-Rock) 34. Maudlin of the Well (Avant-Garde Progressive Metal - Also check Kayo Dot) 35. Messa (Doom Metal) 36. Misþyrming (Black Metal) 37. Ne Obliviscaris (Progressive Black Metal with violin except it’s actually tasteful and doesn’t feel gimmicky) 38. Neptunian Maximalism (Avant-Garde Jazz/Drone/Noise/Industrial.. like Swans meets Sun Ra meets John Zorn’s Electric Masada.

[possibly-in-wonderland]

hey so i just remembered to say this, although its a year late, there's still assholes out there: lets not be assholes to baby bats (referring to both new goths and new metalheads)

just teach them a bit

and for the baby bats?

goth is about music and subculture, not just fashion (you can dress in pink fluffy tutus and still be goth, guys)

oh, you're wearing a master of puppets shirt? cool, i highly suggest listening to metallica's song "one", it's anti-war and pretty damn good

if you're gonna watch any gothtubers/alternative YouTubers: emily boo, it's black friday, and of herbs and altars are cool ones (ed warning for herbs and altars)

learn about the different types of metal (thrash, heavy, glam, and death metal are the most widespread of the genre)

crossover of the two: type o negative's a great goth metal band

anyways, don't bite the heads off bats, and don't support dollskill/kill star (emily boo has a video on small alt brands you can support)

[rinstar5283]

What bands do you think the papas would like? I have a feeling Pantera is gonna be in here somewhere

QUIEJFOE RAHHAHA IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT

OKAY SO IM ONLY GONNA BE TALKING BOUT METAL CAUSE THATS MY EXPERTISE- BUT YALL CAN OFC PUT IN YALLS THOUGHTS AND SHIT- ALSO SUPPER INACURATE AND MOSTLY BASED ON HOW I SEE THEM 💀💀

Primo: Def doom/stoner metal! Bros probs a hardcore ozzy era Black Sabbath fan- I think he likes his metal not too fast or too heavy, he’d also probably be into old school sludge as well!!

I’d say his top fave bands would be

Black Sabbath, electric wizard, cathedral ,andd probs Melvin’s

Secondo: AS U GUESSED OBVIOUSLY PANTERA 😼😼 BROS MET PHIL ANSELMO YALL- SO OBV GROOVE/THRASH , and my moots on twitter def agree he’s into nu-metal (don’t kill me Tobias) but he also gives me war metal vibes- IM NOT JUST SAYING THAT CAUSE HES BALD

I think his top faves would be

Pantera, Exodus, blasphemy, and Korn

Terzo: oof this one’s hard ahhh. Maybe some glam metal he seems like he’d enjoy Motley Crue? Hmmmm hell one of my moots said she’d like Xavleg and I totally agree with that- so maybe death metal and grindcore.

I’m not too sure but maybe his fav bands would be

W.a.s.p, Motley Crue, Xavleg, and exhumed

Yall can recommend or add something here cause I got no clue-

Copia: OH BOY BRO COPIA WOULD LOVE IT ALL THRASH, DEATH, BLACK, SLAM, GRIND, PUNK, GOTH, HEAVY, HELL OLD ROCK TOO HE DONT CARE- buUTTT since I’m sorta basing this off tobias he would probs hate nu-metal and be an elitist too- I see him as the type to be very INLOVE with old 80s metal that he’d be like “oh theres no good bands today, the good ones are getting so old their gonna die soon x’C” without even trying to find any new metal bands and shit- ALSO HED HAVE A VERY COOL ASS BATTLE JACKET PROBS EVEN MULTIPLE FOR EACH GENRE-

His fave bands would be

The big four (he can’t choose), kiss, nuclear assualt, Sodom, and Bathory (mostly basing this off Tobias since I think they’d both be similar in taste))

Lolol and here have this little doomer/stoner primo I did on my phone in like 10 secs 😭
