John Wilkes Booth

so i've mentioned on here a few times that i lack an appreciation for metal. i honestly respect the genre as i know that a lot of its musicians are skilled and dedicated to their craft, it's just that a lot of it honestly sounds like **** to me.

however, i know for a fact that my taste is malleable. the first time i ever heard coltrane i thought it was some of the most boring **** i ever heard, now he's one of my favorite musicians.

so i want to try to expand my horizons and hear what other people hear in metal.

i actually like a select few metal songs/albums i've heard. i'll post some examples below. i'd appreciate some suggestions based on these. i'd like some tracks to listen to first and then if i like the track then i will look into the album.

here's some **** that i find enjoyable






honestly the death/black metal growls are a turn off for me atm but i'm willing to try to learn to appreciate them
