I don't get metal at all. Anything past Iron Maden I just don't get, I just don't get why would anyone want to do this. All the new stuff is just beyond my comprehension - scooped mids on guitar gigantic sonic mayhem and a lot of screaming. I really can't comment on anything in that genre
i see. if you like cream or led zep, you might dig some black sabbath, soundgarden, rush, jane's addiction, alice in chains... and sabbath, aic are metal af.
metal is a very diverse genre. i guess your main issue with some metal music might be the vocals. some singers like dickinson, sammy hagar, dio or russell allen are brilliant singers. vocals in metal can be like day and night. for instance, morbid angel and judas priest are metal, too, and they couldn't be any more different:
symphony x is metal, too, without screaming and sonic mayhem:
scooped mids are a metal thing, iron maiden do that, too.
