      Serious question: how do I learn to like bands like Amon Amarth?

      I mostly listen to power metal. Powerwolf, Sabaton, like that.

      I have never had an appreciation for… Vocal fry? Is that the right term even? When the vocals just kinda sound like growling and are mostly incomprehensible.

      I hear people rave about certain bands but when I try them out and their vocals sound like angry screaming and bear noises it just turns me right off, and I’m not sure if that’s a me problem or what.

        Hah. I’m not sure you do! It’s the same reason I can’t like bands with maroon 5 sounding singers.

        I do love instrumental tracks for this reason.

      Second AMG (I wrote an AMG Bot for this community that I can’t get working due to some instances being behind cloudflare). They’ve exposed me to a lot of smaller bands that I wouldn’t have known about otherwise. They’re particularly helpful if you enjoy non-cvlt Black Metal, Death Metal and Doom Metal.

      Side note OP: I love your posts. Many’s the time I’ve seen something I haven’t listened to in years and have a good couple of hours going through their back catalogue.

      I’m gonna third AMG! It’s one of the few review sites that I think has consistently good reviews of a decently wide array of metal. And I’m not just saying that because I agree with them…I’m saying that because they introduced me to Blood Incantation. Which anyone unfamiliar should absolutely give a listen!

    Give Every Noise At Once a try. You type in the name of a band you already like, it’ll show you the genre(s) they are part of as links. Click the link and it’ll give you a load of suggestions on a kind of heat map page. You can then click the band name to get a short sample of their stuff.

    If you’ve never listened to Kevin Sherwood’s songs for Call of Duty Zombies, they’re fantastic. The lyrics are borderline gibberish since they’re supposed to tie in with a story that’s nonsensical and chaotic, but that doesn’t change how good the music and the featured vocalists are. Songs: Beauty of Annihilation 115 Abracadavre Pareidolia Coming Home Carrion We All Fall Down Always Running Archangel Dead Again (my personal favorite) Dead Flowers Dead Ended The Gift Shockwave I Am the Well Stormbound Mystery A Light From the Shore
