I'm doing something new today - with help and input from y'all, I tried to get more into a genre that I'm still pretty new to! I'd love to do more of these in the future with different genres - let me know if you'd want that, what genres I should check out, and anything else I can improve for the next video!

Falling in love with metal is all about timing. I completely understand where non-enjoyers come from, because it takes the right mood and the right artist to really be hooked. But man once that beautiful moment happens, you really are hooked for life.

A crucial part of liking metal is gatekeeping other people who like metal.

Also, congrats on 200k subscribers!

The thing is metal as a whole is so deep and diverse. You aren’t going to like every sub genre or every band which is why a lot of people who like metal have a few sub genres they really gravitate to. Liking metal is a lifelong journey and having that moment with a band or a sub genre that just clicks with you at the perfect time and mood is a magical experience.

I don’t have to learn to like metal. I already do. Metal fans, on the other hand

Deftones are one of those artists who never quite click at first, but you find yourself returning to them over and over again until eventually they encapsulate an entire emotional state all on their own.

Rick Rubin is insane, he helped produce all of SOAD’s album and also worked with Slayer

A Blaze in the Northern Sky is a stone cold Black Metal classic. Black Metal is something you adjust to slowly over time. Going from Number of the Beast to a Blaze in the Northern Sky would be jarring for anyone.

Death’s Symbolic was a big part of me learning to love metal, now it’s not even my favorite Death record but how absolutely relentless it is when combined with how tight the whole band is while also being insanely technically impressive makes it impossible to take your ears of it for even a second

Megadeth is often overlooked. They are incredible. Especially 90s megadeth (marty friedman era) like rust in peace and youthansia. But even their two most recent albums dystopia and TDTSATD really surprise people because after 16 albums they pull real metalheads right back in.

I actually got into metal because of Lady Gaga. She loves Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Judas Priest, & Anthrax. I’ve been obsessed with metal ever since. Hope she does a metal record one day.

The album that got me into metal was Opeth’s “Ghost Reveries” and worth a listen If you haven’t already “blackwater park” is also a solid choice in their discography.

Blind Guardian got me into metal. They do the melodic/fantastical metal thing the best of anyone, at least for nerdy me. Their iconic albums "Somewhere Far Beyond", "Imaginations from the Other Side" and "Nightfall in Middle Earth" are filled with pure gold, detailed epic compositions where every guitar part matters and is fun to hum along with (and absolutely no wanking). Nerdy band for nerdy metal fans. That being said, you CANNOT miss Dio. One of the best vocalists to ever live, and responsible for some of the greatest classic metal songs.

Going from Iron Maiden to black metal kills me 😂😂 with getting into metal, pacing yourself is key. You won't like everything you hear on first listen, but that doesn't mean there won't be a time where a certain song or artist will come around eventually. 3 years ago I thought the heaviest band I listened to was Slipknot. Now it's probably Lorna Shore. Love watching your metal journey! 🤘

Death is a band you don’t wanna miss when you get into metal, especially their album Symbolic.

[Woollieriowa]

if you havent tried them yet I'd recommend giving Rammstein a listen. their vocalist has a really unique sound and they have electronic elements that make them really fun to listen to if regular metal is too samey or draining.

[ArtemyMusha]

If you ever find yourself hungry for carbohydrates while listening to groove metal, I heartily recommend "Vulgar Display Of Flour" by Pantera Bread.

[ryuuq]

Death - Symbolic (Album); it's a must listen. The ending made me spark a tear its beautiful. It's also not typical Death Metal with growls and vocals that are barely hearable.
Also Voice of the Soul by Death. Pure instrumental magic.

One of the tricks to get into metal is finding the beat. A lot of songs can sound like noise until you find the rhythm to lock onto. Once you do that, it should be MUCH easier to listen to.

It's really cool that you're trying new things

I'm coming from the other way, been a metalhead my whole life and your channel has helped me get into different genres

Definitely dive in more, metal has a whole lot to offer if your willing to really dive in
