Describing 50 Metal Bands in 1 Sentence or Less
Музыка
This video was heavily inspired by @BecomeTheKnight, @NikNocturnal, and @BradleyHallGuitar .
I describe 50 classic/modern metal bands in 1 sentence or less. I'm very aware that I'm not funny.
New EP, 'affliction', is out now everywhere!

That Architects joke aged well, didn’t it? 🍷 Edit: I've been getting asked a lot of questions along the lines of "What's so bad about Dealer?" I will just say that I had no idea that the allegations against Aidan were already dropped when I made this, however I've heard that he is very difficult to work with. That being said, a mistake on my part. Tried getting into Dealer a while back but not my thing. If you listen to them, no hate or judgement. Hope that clears it up.

0:28 the best description for BMTH for anyone whos still confused lol. Both sides of their fanbase can be insufferable towards each other. My boy Oliver is still a very talented lyricist and vocalist, I know he still has it in him along with the rest of the band to make an awesome metalcore song.

their fanbase spans so wide that it’s inevitable the newer fans won’t like the old stuff, as is the same with some of the old fans towards the new, but it would be nice if they actually made a full on Suicide Season or there is a hell style song except with Oliver’s much refined Clean and Harsh vocal technique. (I’m a nerd I know)

Amo is a pop album, but it’s a great pop album. One of my all time favs to be honest, even tho I prefer their metal stuff
i listen to SO MANY of these bands, and you're not wrong. also, the australian metal scene IS amazing. Germany too (our mirage, never back down). and sweden (Imminence, self deception). and italy. and japan. and canada. and the netherlands (they kind of own symphonic metal). and OBVIOUSLY the UK lots of great metal scenes man
BFMV is basically Metallica in Drop C (or now Drop B) combined with In Flames. That's why it so fucking great
3:43 "I don't know this next band" Oh this should be funny! ....oh dear god
As someone who really loves BVB …yeah I mean yeah Although I do love their hard turn into a more goth metal sound

What I love about Ghost is that everyone basically assumed that to be a satanist band, you HAVE to play metal. There's just something so childish when people think, "If you look like that, you have to play metal." Even though skullpaint and Satanism have existed far before metal. I think people are just mad that their bias for dressing a certain way was wrong and that pissed people off.
I dont luke how many times my location appeared in the top corner of my phone
What about Anthrax or Exodus? Cradle of filth? Six feet under?
As someone who listens to a majority of these fans all I gotta say is Yup.

For all your Aussie band compliments, im pretty surprised you didnt mention Karnivool.
Ozzy one checks out. Alot of these checks out lmao
saving ghost until the end.... their sound may throw some off, but i like what i like !
Listen to The Sin and the Sentence, Catastrophist or In the Court of the Dragon. Alex Bent is indeed not human.
