And then they disappear just as fast & decades later I still listen to the same albums in my car.

Pulse Ultra. One album. Absolutely fantastic. I'm sad and glad we've never gotten more.... but what is out is perfect. So maybe a second album would've not been as good.

This guy gets it

[–] Phanatik@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sleep Token.

Not a single song I haven't enjoyed. All I need now are their vinyls and a turntable.

Worship!

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

They said "obscure little", not "the most popular and hyped metal act currently, with sold out shows worldwide"

[–] Phanatik@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Not something I was aware of. Most people I talk to haven't heard of them.

[–] dellish@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If it helps, I've never heard of them.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

All good and all, and not trying to be a dick.

Saw homie was catching downvotes, figures to explain why.

Sleep Token rules. I saw them 2 months ago. Their merch line literally lasted longer than their show. By hours.

That will never occur at even a remotely small, remotely obscure bands show.

Metal is huge as a genre but it somehow still flies under the radar. 90% of people I meet have no clue about metal at all.

[–] SirGaston@feddit.de 9 points 2 years ago (4 children)

So, what bands are you talking about? Curious...

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 7 points 2 years ago (3 children)
[–] PatFussy@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

This is beyond obscure, this is 2000s turkish metal that tried to go for 80s garage metal

[–] SirGaston@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thanks, will give it a listen

The above album is on youtube music, too.

Is good, I'll try it as work music.

[–] Wootz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Not sure if they're that obscure, by some people's standards, but here, have some Kardashev

[–] SirGaston@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, Kardashev are awesome!

[–] JokklMaster@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Blackbriar are pretty cool.

Lord of the Lost are one of my favorites but are getting bigger especially with Eurovision this year.

Warkings keep slapping.

Earth is great to listen to if you're trying to read or write and just need to block out other noise. Apparently the guy behind the band was roommates with Curt Cobain.

[–] Kyrinar@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I love me some Warkings! Their stuff is consistently fun.

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Check out Eternal Champion's latest release. It's like Retro power metal. Incredibly well done.

For Black Metal fans, check out Toronto's Thantifaxath. My personal fav release is Sacred White Noise.

Good shit. Both bands have a great catalog.

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Champion is up my alley. I'll have to give both of them a serious listen.

[–] raptir@lemdro.id 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you like Eternal Champion, check out...

  • Riot City
  • Gatekeeper
  • Visigoth
  • Megaton Sword
[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 years ago

I love gatekeeper.

My recommendations:

Witchcraft

Flight

Haunt (sometimes called haunt the nation)

Night demon

Caludron

[–] pete_the_cat@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I gotta check out Eternal Champion...after I'm finished listening to Santana and smoking my Cuban cigar down in Miami 😊

I didn't use Spotify until recently and it has opened me up to so many bands that I would have never found on my own. I never really listened to the radio much, and then had Tidal for a few years because of their ability to stream FLAC files and I had just bought mid-high end headphones. The app sucked though and the music selection is like a 10th of what is available on Spotify.

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Look at gnoosic.com so many obscure bands. It's an AI that recommends shit.

Directed me to a guy with 26 listeners once and it was solid.

[–] pete_the_cat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Awesome thanks!

[–] brognak@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

If throw out The Necromancers, though not sure if their obscure.

[–] ultra@feddit.ro 2 points 2 years ago

I'm a big fan of The Score, but they aren't a metal band

[–] TheDarksteel94@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Aether Realm is one of the best current melodic death metal bands and no one can convince me otherwise.

[–] DonSuey@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

The Bled for me

[–] SirGaston@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Here's my contribution: Asteroid

and

Monkey3

[–] ArcRay@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

I've really been enjoying Faux Fiction. I haven't disliked a single one of their songs. They are more indie/rock than metal, but still goes hard.

[–] kungfushoe@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Rezn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0uNaZ6nbww

Definitely check them out live if you ever get a chance!
