| Ohio Has Some Metal Chops!
I lived several of my formative years, while young, in the Cleveland area. As such, I will always have a soft spot for Ohio (in general), the Harry Buffalo restaurants, Buybacks and The Exchange used CD stores, a Romanburger from Mr. Hero, and metal bands coming from this great State. This list includes those Ohio bands that I "hold most dear". | | 1 |  | Nine Inch Nails
Broken
Cleveland, OH. Hard to believe that the untouchable Trent Reznor started his career in 1988, working as a janitor and handyman in The Right Track studio, and recording Pretty Hate Machine (PHM) during studio down time. As much as I love PHM, my hear lies with Broken. | | 2 |  | Filter
The Amalgamut
Cleveland, OH. Straight outta the west side of Cleveland. The Yin to Reznor's Yang? Took a similar, but more pop-orientated take on industrial metal. | | 3 |  | Chimaira
Pass Out Of Existence
Cleveland, OH. Come on now, who wasn't bangin' to this album back in the early 2000's / nu metal days? | | 4 |  | Mushroomhead
XX
Cleveland, OH. And also bangin' to this (especially Solitaire/Unraveling), to a lesser extent? Honestly though, where Slipknot's masks were cool....this band's mask-wearing antics were a bit embarrassing. | | 5 |  | Red Sun Rising
Making of Kings
Akron, OH. Fast forward a decade (did any new bands come out of Ohio from 2001 to 2011)? More along the lines of hard rock, but all their songs have that special something. A little bit of an alternative metal twist. And Mike Protich sure can sing. | | 6 |  | Ceterum
Fathom
Cleveland, OH. An alternative metal delight, in the vein of Tool. Unfortunately, not too much product from this band...hoping for new music. | | 7 |  | Lo-Pan
Colossus
Columbus, OH. Small Stone Records is a true gem, as are each of the three albums by this band on that label. A true mix of stoner rock and alternative metal...as if Tool had a love child with a heavy desert rock band. Probably the band that I am most excited about on this list, with their new album "Subtle" coming out. Also, their lead singer has one of the best voices in the stoner rock genre. | |
Snake.
05.03.19 | i don't think i can even truly call any of these metal
what a sad fucking state | hexfix93
05.03.19 | Unfortunately I still live in Cleveland and it still sucks. Ohio sucks in general.
NIN is good but I wouldn't call them metal. I can't stand Mushroomhead or Chimaira. The only good metal band to come from here is Decrepit (dm) -- and most people haven't even heard them (probably because they see the 'Ohio' tag and think "fuck this shit"). Sad cuz that band rips. | JDubb
05.03.19 | Metal is quite an encompassing term, and Broken was likely the closest NIN came to it. | Get Low
05.03.19 | Northeast Ohio resident here. Buybacks went out of business a year or so ago (hard fucking RIP), but The Exchange is still going strong. Have never been a big fan of any bands/musicians that have come out of Cleveland that I can recall. | Relinquished
05.03.19 | mushroomhead had their moments for sure | Yotimi
05.03.19 | Cincinnati here | JDubb
05.03.19 | What does Cincinnati have to offer? | JDubb
05.03.19 | Also check out Tranzhumanist on Bandcamp, an alt metal offshoot from Ceterum out of Cleveland. | LelandAB
05.03.19 | Cloudkicker is from Columbus! If These Trees Could Talk are from Akron. | TheMightyScoop
05.03.19 | Regurgitation
Ringworm
Embalmer
Keelhaul
Mouth of the Architect | Yotimi
05.03.19 | Music wise? I guess The National...and 98 degrees | JDubb
05.03.19 | Great call on If These Trees Could Talk. Will check out the others. | Snake.
05.03.19 | "If These Trees Could Talk are from Akron"
good band, still ain't metal | JDubb
05.03.19 | Snake, post metal, industrial metal, nu metal, alt metal, and stoner metal aren’t metal...what’s your definition of metal? | TheMightyScoop
05.04.19 | @snake ohio actually has a good underground death metal scene.
@jdubb NIN aren't industrial metal buddy. |
