12.19.24 | I personally go to rateyourmusic. Usually I go to a handful of genres I like and just start looking through the plethora of releases. Absolutely massive database. This site also has some music that I'm willing to check out. |

rockarollacola
12.19.24 | I always check metal archives 2024 releases, and pick from that randomly. Found some pretty solid power metal albums that way.

normaloctagon
12.20.24 | Hang out on this site more often and be curious, read reviews and threads and lists |
Galbador
12.20.24 | I use men. [2]
Men here are really helpful. I also secretly check out what they have been listening or digging. Similar bands and user list are also really helpful. Bump those threads folks! |
chemicalmarriage
12.20.24 | Sputnik usually has awesome lists and recs better than anywhere else imo. Actual community vibe as well not sure what else you need |
Avagantamos

Butkuiss
12.20.24 | Rym charts and, surprisingly, Spotify algo seems to have gotten quite a bit better recently. |
Demon of the Fall
12.20.24 | "have u heard of sputnikmusic.com" (2)
also RYM's database / charts etc. and occasionally I will randomly check a Spotify rec (but it's usually because it was already on my radar because their algorithms seem suboptimal and tend to push you towards major label bullshit rather than anything catered to what you actually listen to) |
suppatime
12.20.24 | I been in the game for a minute and Sput always beats every other fucking website or rec. I'm not super active on the commenting on here but this is the greatest damn website for music. Realmofmetal used to be fucking sick before streaming too but I haven't been on that shit in so long lol
I do find plenty of shit that's not on here but that's not really through a site, more just following labels I fuck with and just being curious |
kkarron
12.20.24 | lol noone's said "actually go to gigs", huh? |
ToSmokMuzyki
12.20.24 | yea no rehearsal like a death rehearsal |
suppatime
12.20.24 | I mean I go to gigs but I usually jam their discog before I go even if they're local lol. But def a good way to peep new shit |
Drifter
12.20.24 | discogs rabbit holes, lordepots and foxblood + youtube recommendations |
Demon of the Fall
12.20.24 | "lol noone's said "actually go to gigs", huh?"
incredibly inefficient and suboptimal for 'discovering' music in 2024. The discovery comes first
now of course you can get lucky, maybe the support act was unknown to you beforehand etc. |
StormChaser
12.20.24 | my guy sonoma looks like he's coming back with a full net of fish this morning |
kkarron
12.20.24 | Don't you people talk to others at gigs? I'm not saying that you go to random acts that you never heard of, I'm saying that it's a way to hear about acts that can be similar to what you like from like-minded people. I mean, a recommendation that comes from the passion and charisma of an actual human being stays with me a lot more than internet listicles. |
Demon of the Fall
12.20.24 | "don't you talk to..."
hmm, this is a novel idea but after the first 4 words I was always gonna struggle |
DePlazz
12.20.24 | in addition to stuff already said: spotify does sometimes lead to interesting discoveries via 'artist/album/number radio' and such |
Egarran
12.20.24 | This question is an insult to sputnik, downvoted. |
arthropod
12.20.24 | "now of course you can get lucky, maybe the support act was unknown to you beforehand etc."
Yeah, I first ever heard Obituary and Jinjer during gigs, they made a good impression on me. Also Jesus Piece, but they sounded like trash. |
ConcubinaryCode
12.20.24 | Here, bandcamp, blogspot, opening acts for shows, exploring record labels. I always liked when bands put other bands they thanked in the cd notes. |
Thibs
12.20.24 | decibel magazine |
Sinternet
12.20.24 | nearly always rym, on the forums there a couple of good threads for tracking new releases |
Demon of the Fall
12.20.24 | threads? Hmm. I don’t use that site properly it seems |
DeadGuy
12.20.24 | Pirate sites are seriously the best for finding new music. You'll see literally everything that comes out from the biggest to the smallest. You'll find bands on there that you never would have found elsewhere. Just support them afterwards. |
Sinternet
12.20.24 | yeah this one is good for albums that are getting a fair amount of hype on the site
https://rym.fm/discussion/music/the-official-rym-chart-update-discussion-thread-charts-updated-weekly/1914/
and this one for general new releases
https://rym.fm/discussion/music/new-release-discussion-thread-week-of-december-20-2024/33/ |
Sinternet
12.20.24 | that and if you follow a bunch of artists on rym (which if you rate their stuff positively it should automatically do, or you can clcik the follow button on their bandpage as well) anything they put out will be in your upcoming box on your main profile page, and if you click on someone else's page you can see what's in their upcoming too
honestly i barely use anything other than rym these days to find stuff |
Supercoolguy64
12.21.24 | last.fm
bandcamp
whatever gets bumped on here |
