I’ve listened to almost exclusively death metal/core for the past 4 years. What’s the best way to branch out and find new music? Also looking for literally any recommendations from any genre
Ive listened to almost exclusively death metal/core for the past 4 years.
chart thread recs or dare i say it...rateyourmusic
are you trying to find stuff that has a similar energy as death metal or ease into lighter stuff?
I’m open to more metal type stuff but I feel like I’ve listened to way too much of it lately, I’d rather find some lighter stuff. I unironically like pop music but don’t know where to start, but I’m open to pretty much anything.
Bumping, please give me ANYTHING to listen to frens
what kind of pop? and idk if you ever dug into death grips but that might be a good starting point
kind of inspired from both metal and trap music
an abrasive song by a great electropop band
I’ve heard every DG album, love most of them. As far as pop goes I like pop punk (gay I know) and expiremental pop. I tried listening to Kero Kero Bonito recently and liked it more than I thought I would. Also interested in hyper pop but I’m ngl I haven’t liked anything I’ve heard so far. Ik they’re kind of antithetical, but is there any pop that’s good for metal heads? Also interested in any metal esque hip hop, especially intrsumental stuff.
poppy is your best bet also the chick that she ripped her entire aestetic and music from, don't remember her name tho
Never listened to Poppy but I had a huge Mars Argo (the chick she coppied) phase a while back and have heard most of her shit. Appreciate it tho anon
I mean I listen to it purely out of nostalgia at this point but the first 3 A Day To Remember albums are basically distilled pop punk mixed with metalcore.
they get hated on here but Black Dresses to me is like industrialized hyperpop
also the poppy album I Disagree has a great balance of light and heavy songs
sorry this is the black dresses song
Goddam I actually really liked this, reminds me of SOPHIE kinda, do you have any other recs?
Thank you fren, listening now
Had a day to remember phase in middle/high school but I’m gonna check out Poppy, thanks fren!
rina sawayama
bring me the horizon's newer stuff is very pop/electronic influenced
a lot of heavy music fans also really like carly rae jepsen even though there's no sound crossover at all there
Rina Sawayama
Charli XCX
Babymetal
LOONA ODD EYE CIRCLE
NewJeans
Haru Nemuri
Wednesday Campanella
Also appreciate the recs, listening now
Try some atmospheric or melancholic black metal. Maybe Veldes or Nostalghia.
These are so cathartic they would serve as a good counterpoint to the stuff you listen to which is focused on aggression. But it's still metal so there's a connecting thread between them.
I’m an album fag, do you have a specific album from either of those bands I should check out?
Listening to To Drown in Bleeding Hope by Veldes rn and really enjoying it
John Peel radio programs
IT'S TIME TO TAKE THE CLASSICAL PILL, MY NIGGA
