Posting this here because the metal community seems to be entirely links to tracks and I'm not sure how well received this would be there. Also, I'm open to anything that goes more on the punk rock side of things. I like a little punk in my metal and a little metal in my punk (which is very subjective anyway).

Basically as the title says. I'm bored of my current selection of heavy music and looking for new stuff. To per-emptively get ahead of these answers: yes, I've heard Kittie, Nightwish and Arch Enemy before (actually haven't listened to Kittie since the nu metal days and maybe I should check them out again).

Two bands that I have found in recent years that I absolutely love are:

In This Moment. They started out as pretty much straight metalcore but have a noticeable evolution with each album, to the point that the most recent album sounds like this. Evolution is something I appreciate in a band.

Butcher Babies. Just straight up chaotic. And good shit. And they're even named after an old school punk song. Chaos and attitude is something I also appreciate in a band. Pity that one of the vocalists left though, having two vocalists was something that really set them apart.

Any other suggestions?

Edit: wasn't expecting so many great suggestions here. I promise I'll make my way through each post and suggestion here but it's going to take time. In the mean time, thanks everyone. At this rate I'm going to have more than enough new (to me) stuff to listen to.

Excellent question! Have you tried !gpral@hilariouschos.com the mod there is lovely

Hello... Hope you're hanging in there and taking care of yourself this evening. Sorry for taking so long to respond to this, I meant to get back to this thread sooner.

It's a real pity that I can't even see that community (and a couple of others there) from here. I wish you could convince your friend to open an alt community in more neutral ground. Or try to make some sort of amends with all of the instances that are de-federated with hilariouschaos. There's some big ones de-federated from it, even piefed.social, which I tried the other day.

If you're interested, now that I'm attending to this post, it seems likely that my next fixation on something to categorise and make lists of is going to be this very topic lol. I'll probably only be done in a couple of months from now but if you would like, I could post my results in Women's Stuff (or I could pass it on to you to post, if you prefer). Otherwise if you think it's a better idea, I could post it to gpral from another account, although I wish I could do that without feeling bad about Blåhaj people being blocked off from it.

And, just gonna ping your new account in case you never look at the old one anymore: @LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al

Mate that would be great! We'd love to see your stuff if you do it deffo post it.

[–] Zero22xx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yay, I'm glad you like the idea! As I say it might take time though. And depending on how much, I might split up punk, heavy and general alternative. There's already some good stuff in this thread, stuff that was out when I was going out to clubs and shit but that just never got played anywhere. Apart from the obvious stuff like Arch Enemy and Nightwish. Funny that.

Anyway, at least now my next stint of making lists won't be so pointless.

[–] LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Great ideas, and dont worry about time. Making lists doesn't sound pointless and nothing that you enjoy is ever a waste of time. Your enjoyment matters

[–] Zero22xx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago

Haha no I've spent a lot of time working on things that ultimately don't matter much. And sometimes get consumed by it to the point of starting to pull all nighters. But I do enjoy it, yup lol.

Hope you're feeling better and thanks for the encouragement!
