one of my favourite tracks.
spicy take - they are pop, rather than metal.
Yes, pop that is fuuuuun
Agreed, totally pop, much like HIM, https://youtu.be/8AH-tW8OHHs?si=kVzFH_o8zzFR-PNF
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.
Is Shaka Ponk metal? Probably

May I suggest Twelve Foot Ninja https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SYvzn5grrI
Twelve Foot Ninja is fantastic. A little bit funky and weird, but still heavy, and some very positive vibes
Some female fronted and maybe not so commonly known Bands:

I don’t understand the hype for The Hu. I’ve listened to several songs and there is very little going on. Mostly playing one chord, in almost the same tempo every song, with drone singing and maybe some fiddle soloing. I tried. Maybe I just picked some bad songs
Always preferred Tengger Calvery over The Hu.
It’s prog but Angra with Kiko as lead guitarist is still the greatest of all time for me. Kiko left the band for Megadeth a little while back, their new guitarist is solid but just not on the same level. Rebirth, Fireworks and Temple of Shadows are probably my top 3 favorite albums.
Don’t have links atm but

Mandroid Echostar - Catchy prog metal with clean vocals
Anaal Nathrakh - Grind/black metal with industrial influences
The Arcane Order - Long-form melodic death metal
Arcania - Kinda like a thrashier Gojira
Rivers of Nihil - Proggy death metal
Unfathomable Ruination - Brutal tech death
Thantifaxath - Dissonant black metal
We Lost the Sea - Post-metal. I need to give some context for this one:
Departure Songs is inspired by failed, yet epic and honourable journeys or events throughout history where people have done extraordinary things for the greater good of those around them, and the progress of the human race itself. This is a celebration and a tribute. Each song has it’s own story and is a soundtrack to that story.
This is our 3rd album and our first instrumental album. We’re exploring new ground and exploring ourselves in the past 2 and a bit years since Chris went on his own journey. It’s slightly bleak with shimmers of hope and layers of emotion. It’s a tribute and a catharsis of emotion and honesty.
I.e., their vocalist died and this was their way of grieving. Incredibly deep cut IMO.
Alpinist - “heavylowfastslowdark hardcore”
Echostar reminds me of Witchcraft in that his vocals are so clean that it almost doesn’t jive with the genre.
I don’t dislike it by any means. Just have to work a little to get into it. Echostar is unbelievably technical. Their syncopation and noise control are otherworldly
- Nickelback
- Steely Dan
- Silversun Pickups
- Goldfrapp
I think this is considered prog metal, not sure. But the band Animals as Companions. I think they are fucking awesome. Combat Cartography (iirc) is a awesome track check out.
I’m not into rock/metal enough to know all the genres that well, but alot of the heavier stuff has singers that just ruin it for me. Animals deals with that in Mt favorite way, no singer.
I love Jesters Dance by In Flames, but that seems to be one of the few they have without singing.
You might be thinking of Animals as Leaders, I can’t find anything about Animals as Companions. And you’re right, they’re definitely prog metal. Super intricate riffing and bizarro time signatures. It’s a good time! I’m not familiar enough with them to know what song you’re talking about, but they’re a very unique group.
Lol yes leaders. Irl animals are usually companions and I just mess that up in my head.
If you’re into the vibe but not the singers, you might like And So I Watch You From Afar, Earth, Pomegranate Tiger, Plini, Polyphia, The Algorithm, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, If These Trees Could Talk, Pelican, and Polarization. All instrumental metal/rock at different levels of heavy.
That’s kind of a long list but I hope you find something in it 😅
Well plini I have liked for some time. He recently dropped a track with the guy from Animals as Leaders, Tosin Abasi. It’s pretty good. Thanks for that list tho I enjoy having new shit to lookup on spotify.
And to anyone reading this who read my first comment,it’s Animals as LEADERS and the song I mentioned is Conflict Cartography.
Been listening to Municipal Waste recently. They’re good.
