Heavy metal starter pack?

[420Rachel]

Here are some songs I’ve picked to maybe potentially ease some of you into heavy metal. No brutal death metal vocals I promise! 😂 Just straight shredding 🤘 Hope you find something you like!

This is a good ground work to build upon. A bit of speed , trash, and good old school metal. Also a lot of german bands. Accident or just your choice?

Everyone has their own Favorit style. I would add: Not promising no growling but a bit of a different style.

[420Rachel]

These are awesome! I don’t really have a particular style I could pin down as my favorite. As long as it sounds good to me, I like it. 🤘

[msmissydc]

Oh by the way. dont understand me wrong. With "groundwork" I didn't mean basic or lame. What you posted is great! I meant more that it doesn't go too deep into one specific subgenre so that it makes metal sound like one specific style.

[420Rachel]

Oh I get you! Hmm… perhaps I should have included some doom metal and early black metal like Bathory

[MemeSupreme]

surprised you put so much thrash and power metal in this starterpack. i was expecting some later 90's metal like slipknot, korn, and rammstein. interesting list, but i think it might be too much for someone who is new lol

i feel like most newcomers are either coming from alternative rock, classic rock, or both. nu metal would be for the alternative rock listeners and thrash would be for the classic rock peeps

[420Rachel]

Perhaps I’ll do a new one soon then 😎

[NathanDavis]

if you ever make a Nu-metal list... don't forget

[PraviteliNahuiValite]

Good idea. Now once I think about which politician to make part 4 poem about, I will make the background ACDC melody in the form of heavy metal,

The third part plays over 5 different instruments throughout.

[AngryCarl2]

I wouldn't recommend that as a starter pack. I personally think you went too heavy on thrash. And how can you start Heavy Metal without Black Sabbath?

[420Rachel]

You have a good point! I actually did consider War Pigs, but then I thought it was too slow. 😭😂 I do love Sabbath though

[WanderingLoveWizard]

Old school metal is pretty cool, you'd probably like Powertrip too.

Of course, once you get into bands like Silent Planet, ERRA and Volumes, it's hard to go back to the older stuff. It's just metal on a whole different level

[420Rachel]

I LOVE Power Trip 👀

[WanderingLoveWizard]

I thought so lol. Metal chicks are the shit 🤘

[420Rachel]

Fuck yeah! I listen to it all honestly. Old and new. Everything from doom and stoner metal and thrash metal to black metal and death metal.

[WanderingLoveWizard]

That's sick! Right on

[420Rachel]

I also like hardcore-punk, punk and emo/screamo (the actual genre) but I need to do more exploring in those genres. Shoegaze fusion genres are pretty cool too.

[WanderingLoveWizard]

I haven't heard of that. I'll have to check that out

[420Rachel]

Grunge/shoegaze

[WanderingLoveWizard]

That's pretty cool actually. Kinda trippy

[420Rachel]

I love it 😩💕 I enjoy anything in the realm of punk/rock/metal

[WanderingLoveWizard]

That's so hot

[OldSchool_Metalhead]

I'd start off with easy stuff, like Krokus and Iron Maiden. Then it goes further up, with early thrash Metallica, bump up to Nuclear Assault, Municipal Waste, Toxic Holocaust, then to Deathcrush-era Mayhem lol

[OldSchool_Metalhead]

Which by the way Krokus I can't stand anymore lol but when I was a lot younger I liked them. That was my dad's doing lol

[Daniela1982]

Heavy Metal Sucks! All I think about when I hear that is those lame Kiss clowns who bedded 1,000 groupies. Now that is something to admire -NOT!

[420Rachel]

What does KISS have to do with the rest of heavy metal?

[Nikki1989]

They are all great picks. You can't go wrong with any of them. 🤘

[IknowthatIdontKnow09]

I bought a compilation cd (bands) but the only song that i liked was/and stil is Obscure the sky by Lethal

Im a person who listen/like many musical genres among them Heavy

[exitseven]

Thanks for posting. I will give some of these a listen.

[msc545]

Must have wrecked a few amps and speakers...

[Jennz6]

I don’t like Heavy Metal

[LiamJHayden]

Some good stuff here. Thanks!
