| I Like Metal, I Guess...
I've always had a strange relationship with metal music. Years in the
past I flat out couldn't get used to it, but after adjusting to harsh vocals
I've been able to get into some things. The thing is, I can appreciate a
lot of metal music, but most of it just doesn't do anything for me. Some
of my friends are obsessed with metal, and my closest friend loves
melodeath and their favorite band is Scar Symmetry, but I just can't
relate to them at all. | | 1 |  | Amia Venera Landscape
The Long Procession
Easily my favorite metal(ish) album. The combination of soaring post-rock melodies
and massive, crushing and dissonant riffs works so well. | | 2 |  | Animals as Leaders
Animals as Leaders
The wanky guitar stuff is kind of cool to me. Not a favorite, but fun to listen to. | | 3 |  | Between the Buried and Me
Colors
Probably the first metal band I got into. They don't do much for me now, but I still
enjoy a listen here and there. | | 4 |  | Botch
We Are the Romans
This somewhat draws me because of the dissonant riffs, which seems to be
something I look for. | | 5 |  | Cloudkicker
Beacons
I like djent, though I certainly don't think terribly high of the style. Haven't listened
to this much but I like it. | | 6 |  | Deftones
Diamond Eyes
Yeah this is pretty cool. | | 7 |  | Isis
Oceanic
Can't have a list like this without Isis. Someone would disown me if I didn't put
them on here. | | 8 |  | Mastodon
Crack the Skye
Not among my favorites, but I first saw them live and thought they put on a really
good show. Oh yeah, I also saw Converge at that show. | | 9 |  | Neurosis
The Eye of Every Storm
Obligatory. | | 10 |  | Oh, Sleeper
Children of Fire
This is pretty much the only metalcore I truly enjoy. A few of my friends listen to
almost all metalcore, and none of it does anything for me, save for these guys. | | 11 |  | Periphery
Periphery
Pretty enjoyable. Their stuff gets boring after a while, but it's nice for walking
around campus or something. | | 12 |  | Rosetta
Wake/Lift
The band that really got me into harsh vocals. I absolutely love Mike Armine's style. | | 13 |  | System of a Down
System of a Down
I don't really admire these guys too much, but when a friend puts them on in the
car I can enjoy it. | | 14 |  | Tool
Lateralus
I have a love/hate relationship with Tool. I can't deny they are talented and that I
enjoy some of their songs, but for some reason I just don't appreciate them overall. | | 15 |  | Underoath
Define the Great Line
Not entirely metal, but I do enjoy this album quite a bit. Although the awe of my
first listen has certainly worn off. | |

04.25.12 | well if your friend likes scar symmetry its time to show him some better music in general | UnnamedOcean
04.26.12 | Haha, my best friend at the current time is a girl. She's a sponge and just picked up on everything
her boyfriend likes. The funny thing is she likes melodic music, so I'm trying to introduce her to
melodic music that is actually good. | eternium
04.26.12 | Proud of you. | Ovrot

04.26.12 | Okay I'll keep that one in mind if I want to terminate our friendship. | Trebor.
04.26.12 | Where is the thrash? | UnnamedOcean
04.26.12 | Don't really have any :( | deathofasalesman
04.26.12 | If 10 is the only metalcore you truly enjoy then you must not like 1, 4, and 15 much. | Willie
04.26.12 | Based on that list, try Atoma and the latest Hypno5e albums. | UnnamedOcean
04.26.12 | I'd consider AVL more post-metal, but fair enough on the others. | deathofasalesman
04.26.12 | But I think you would enjoy Haste the Day, Last Chance To Reason, Engineer, and maybe Strapping Young Lad. | UnnamedOcean
04.26.12 | Alright I will look those up. | UnnamedOcean
04.26.12 | I also like music, I guess. | Trebor.
04.26.12 | Dir En Grey - Uroboros

05.20.12 | Good list man | Azn.
05.21.12 | Or.....try Erra anyway in case Scoot happens to be wrong. | DotEight
05.21.12 | No Scoot is right. Erra is wack. | Azn.
05.21.12 | -___- well I did say that it's a stretch...
