Any Heavy Metal recommendations?

Question

I'm like... trying to learn how to better handle my anger. I never had anything against metal, just didn't listen to it much. But this week I'm like INTO IT. Right now I'm all about From Mars to Sirius by Gojira and The Sound of Perseverance by Death. So far I'm less about screamo and more about just downright heavy stuff. Also what my boyfriend tells me is called "djent." So what do you recommend for me? It's making me feel a heck of a lot better about stuff that's bothering me so I wanna have a big arsenal.

I can't believe I found this question again when you asked it I was going to answer it and somehow I got kicked off of it and I could never find it again anyway I think what I was going to tell you what the time was anger and anxiety I believe comes from vibration everything on this planet vibrates even music even our voices that's how we're able to hear it true vibration there are certain locations there's our peoples voices there's different sounds that make us agitated give us anxiety and music does the same thing but at the same time it can be very soothing and bring you down and calm you I'll send you a bunch of songs and it's nothing to do with heavy metal or anything like that it's just the music the instruments that are played the vibration that they make it might help you I don't know but I'm glad I found this question again even though I'm late I'm still going to send you something LOL

Ooh. How heavy do you want to get?

“Death” is a great band. They are a highly influential 90s speed metal/thrash metal band from Florida.

There are many, many different genres of heavy metal. If you’re looking for something angry, check out “Sepultura.” They are a Brazilian thrash metal band. Their albums from the 90s with their original lead singer are the best in my opinion. “Chaos AD” is a really great album and “Roots” is legendary. If you want to get really dark... and violent... check out the band “Cannibal Corpse.” They are a death metal group. Death metal is different from heavy metal and that is different from thrash/speed metal, which is different from black metal.

My favorite type of metal is Norwegian Black Metal. Bands like “Darkthrone” or “Burzum.”

I've been listening to metal since I was like 10 or 11. If you want to know anything just ask.

There’s a significant age difference between us but you can’t go wrong with what many believe is the best Metallica album of all time, Master of Puppets. Every kind of song from slower to thrash they covered all bases on that record. Also the last studio album to feature Cliff Burton.

Hmm, you want to learn how to better control your anger, so you're choosing to listen to music that has been scientifically proven to have adverse effects on your health? It increases tension, causes your arteries to narrow thereby increasing blood pressure, causes irritability, and has a disturbing number of suicides associated with it and not just prolonged listeners. If you want to relax, calm yourself and deal with your anger, heavy metal is not the place to look.

Andres77 · Answer

I love metal. I prefer metal in a foreign language so I won't understand the words. It calms me down. Rammstein. Arkona. These are my two favorite bands.

ImNoOne111 · Answer

If you into those heavy riffs, why not dear old metallica? Rust in peace by Megadeth is nice too. From Gojira you can try Stranded. Pantera has some heavy stuff too. I personally like System of a down too. If you are way too mad, you can go heavier with Hatebreed (kinda more "screamo"). I won't scare you away with things heavier than that!
About djent, you can try Animals as leaders, they are an instrumental band. Physical Education is my favorite Animals as leaders song

In_Trance · Answer

Death Angel, Overkill, Fear Factory, Devildriver, Shadows Fall, Lamb of God, Cryptopsy, Death, Flotsam and Jetsam, Armored Saint, As I Lay Dying, Between the Burried and Me, Soilwork, Testament, Metal Church, In Flames

Those should get you started

EnglishEuropean · Answer

Well those bands aren't Heavy Metal per se but they are metal with a small "m". If you like that kind of thing I see Meshuggah have a new album out. Here's your starter for 10:

NathanDavis · Answer

if you're angry and you want to steam... then maybe you can go and try with the trifecta...

Slipknot, Mudvayne and Mushroomhead + some of KoRn

especially and preferably their first albums which are a lot less filtered
