Reddit refugee - So I think I might be considered a baby metal head, though I just started getting into this genre. I'm guessing that what I've been listening to is more "light metal" but I have no idea
I had never listened to metal before and always though it was too screamy, but I let youtube music autoplay do it's thing, and it has somehow played some songs that I genuinely really, really dig
It started by playing me Sabaton, but I've somehow veered towards artists like Beast in Black - it seems more melodic?
Some of my favorites so far are:
- They Don't Care About Us by Beast in Black (I know is based on Michael Jackson's)
- No Surrender by Beast in Black
- Sweet True Lies by Beast in Black
- My Dystopia by Beast in Black
- Presence of Mind by Dynazty
- Heartless Madness by Dynazty
- Fly Away by GloryHammer
- Night of the Werewolves by Unleash the Archers
I'm not sure why, but I think I've seen some judgments against people who listen to these bands. Maybe they're overrated or not the real deal or the stereotypical "starter metal bands"? Either way, as a musician (Violist in orchestras) I love how these songs have a tune to them and are melodic. I tend to veer away if it's too monotone or screamy, but I'm open to more suggestions :)
