Metal & Rock Music Recommendations

Yes, DeadMan, this thread is a victim of its own success: so many recs that nobody bothers to look at them. One way to check what's already been mentioned is to use the "Search" function, which I find gives best results when you choose the "Show Posts" option. For Amon Amarth, it generates 421 posts, so we're back where you started, I'm afraid: too much material

Anyway, Amon Amarth are new to me, and here's the first song I found on youtube:-

For me, they're a little too heavy, and I really don't like that vocal style tbh, but your rec certainly fits the thread topic.

Can anyone recommend any band or genre of metal that has a lot of drumming in it (fills and different techniques)? I'm thinking maybe death metal?

Separately, does anyone have any recommendations for bands like Disturbed?

They don't fit in the death metal category, but I have always loved iwrestledabearonce's drums. Especially in their first two albums.

I know they aren't for everyone, so my apologies if they aren't your thing.

Thank you for pointing that option out - I will make sure to keep that in mind in the future.

It is definitely one of those bands where I have to be in the mood for them - some artists I can listen to pretty whenever, and they are not one of those bands. lol But I still dig them when I need something to get amped up.

Wow thanks! I can't believe I've never heard of them before, they've got impressive vocals and your right the drumming is great

Thanks so much
