Greetings Friend! It looks like you're looking for recommendations for new metal music. If you are new here, read the entire sidebar over to the right, then proceed to the next paragraph.
Please actually read the sidebar and then proceed to the next sentence.
No, I am serious.
OK! Every other Wednesday on this subreddit we have the official /r/Metal Recommendation Thread where users can ask for recommendations for new music based on what they already like. Want to try something new altogether? Every Wednesday in between the recommendation thread we have the WHYBLT thread (What have you been listening to?) where subscribers list the albums and tracks that they have heard recently and write about them. This is a great way to learn about and discuss new music!
New to heavy metal in general? Start with the top twelve (12) bands of the Blacklist on the sidebar. These bands are classic innovators in respected heavy metal genres. After that try out the bottom twelve (12) to familiarize yourself with current popular bands that people seem to adore. If you're already familiar with all of them, then begin ploughing through the Shreddit Popular Albums list and the Shreddit Mod Private Stock for places to start for new music. Want something from last year? Try our Top 10 of 2013.
Looking for bands similar to X? Try the Last.fm similar artist button or the same thing located on the Metal Archives page for the band. Here is one for Amon Amarth.
If you have a question, use the search bar first and if nothing comes up, make a self post and we'll be glad to help you along your journey. We thank you for using Shreddit's automated kiosk and remember:
Shoot for the moon, if you are a false don't entry, because you'll be burned and died
-Hugs, kisses & rancid death, /r/Metal
