        So in other words, nothing you’d be able to find on Encyclopaedia Metallum (unless they also got classified as some genre without “core” in it)

        Edit: just joking. Mostly. I am still pretty salty about the fact that their gatekeeping is denying Every Time I Die their rightful place among the metal greats

            Looked up the site and it seems like they also don’t have Between the Buried and Me or Protest the Hero so it seems like it’s one of those “exclusionary to be pretentious and no other reason” kind of sites

              They’re great at finding new bands as long as the bands are properly “metal,” but they arbitrarily exclude any genre that includes the term “core” which seems like a miss to me.

                They have a pretty narrow definition of metal I don’t always agree with (like cocktail and ball torture missing), but I’m sure glad it’s not flooded with -core bands.

      There are a few surprises here, tbf. I had no idea that Pentagram was Turkish (although, maybe it’s a different Pentagram). I kinda remembered that Sepultra that was Brazilian, but I’m not really a fan, so I had mostly forgotten.

      Check out Benighted! The new-ish guitarist is my old high school friend.

        Benighted has always been my favorite franchement band, above Gojira. Living in Lyon, I see Julien (the leader & singer) at nearly every gig that happens in that city.

          Super, moi je parlais de Manu le gratteux. Le mec était déjà un génie dans notre petit groupe de pre-ados/ados, tu lui mettais une track il l’écoutait une fois et ensuite on la remettait et il jouais pratiquement nickel avec le morceau, un monstre.

            N’étant pas musicien, j’ai jamais compris comment c’était possible ce genre de choses. Mais c’est sûr que ce ne sont pas des manchots, leur batteur est excellent aussi par exemple. Et nouvel album dans 2 semaines !!!

              Je suis musicien mais moi non plus je ne comprends pas, je te rassure ^-^’

              Je n’écoute plus trop de métal mais j’irai regarder ça.
