I definitely could have made this video five times as long but I wanted to just get the ball rolling with some bands I think deserve more praise and love! What're YOUR picks for some underrated metal bands?! You can let me know down below. I definitely would love to make some more videos in this series! But for now, cheers, rock on, stay heavy and have yourselves a fantastic rest of your day or night, depending on when you see this!!!!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

EXTRA UNDERRATED: Voivod

I think that Testament, Bolt Thrower, Carnifex, Dark Tranquillity, and the Melvins are all rated accordingly as they are rightfully praised and legendary in their respective subgenres. I do agree though that Zombieshark is underrated. I Will Destroy You, Myself, and Everything I've Ever Loved is an amazing cybergrind album.

Even though their sophomore album is considered to be one of the greatest pieces of death metal ever made, I still think Cryptopsy is hella underrated. Every extreme metal enthusiast at least knows of their album None So Vile, but that's it. An album by them that I think is completely underrated, is Whisper Supremacy. I love that album to death, especially because it is Cryptopsy at their most technically insane (that or Once Was Not). Another underrated band would be Dragged Into Sunlight, for almost obvious reasons. On the brutal death side, I would say the genre as a whole is genuinely underrated, especially when you dive deeper into it, such as bands like Ossuary (their Fat demo is visceral), Hidden Pride, and Rotting. Black Tongue is an underrated deathcore band, and it's criminal, because that band is heavy as FUCK. Also, a random ass one man project, is Massacred. They do Mortician better than Mortician, listen to Massacred. Anyway, that's my tangent

I would say Iron Blanket who are a doom Metal band out of Australia.

Intronaut: my favorite band of all time. Barely any one has heard of them and its a shame. They make a really good blend of prog and post sludge with a lot of good jazzy parts. Pallbearer: One of the best and most catchy doom bands out today, their new album is awesome. Wilderun: One of the best bands ive seen live they make orchestral melodeath with folky parts and occasional influence from black metal The band fulci makes some really great death metal (programmed drums i think which kinda sucks but wow are those riffs great) Agree on your takes (especially testament and the melvins)

Some of these are hardcore/powerviolence but also plenty of metal ones Magrudergrind, cognizant, aeon, unmerciful, strangled, molotov solution, insult (the crust band), kungfu rick, piece of mind , havohej, aenigmatum

One time I accidentally tapped on the band The Black Dahlia Murder on Spotify. But when I listened to the band I was amazed. Guess it was a happy accident

Devastation From Chicago Illinois is one of the most underrated metal band I think of. some really great 80's Death/Thrash. I highly recommend you check out their debut demo called A Creation Of Ripping Death. not to be confused with their second demo called A recreation of ripping death.

Great list! I would personally add in Dismember, Akercocke, Necrophobic, and Asphyx for death metal.

I would say probably my underrated picks would include bands such as the following: Diamond Construct: An Australian nu-metalcore band that mixes a lot of synth-y and trance-y production, turntables, the works. Their album released this year has been one of my favorites so far. The Red Chord: My goodness, in so many ways these guys were ahead of their time (Fun Fact: You can find a tour poster of theirs featuring Bring Me the Horizon as a supporting act back in the day, and I'm pretty sure the This Is What The Edge of Your Seat Was Made For EP was partially inspired by The Red Chord's debut album Fused Together in Revolving Doors). Deathgrind and deathcore-wise, they've been one of the most solid of the earliest deathcore era, alongside The Acacia Strain. Speaking of... The Acacia Strain: They basically seem to me like one of the godfathers of deathcore, especially from the influential 3750. Not only that, but they've kept innovating their sound throughout the years across all their many records, adding in doom metal influences, atmosphere, you name it! Trash Panda: A deathgrind band from Florida. It's subject matter? Raccoons. Specifically a somewhat dystopian trashy realm full of raccoons and filth... can you see why I think they're underrated? I could go on, but this list would start to get somewhat long if I did that.

Second Melvins, I had a luck of getting into them early, so they I think contributed to my ability to open myself to other genres besides metal, also watched Tetsuo The Iron Man because someone used it for fan video for their song Pink Bat, wchich made me appreciate japanese cinema outside anime Speaking of Japan… Boris, band named after a Melvis song that truly fullfills this role as their offspring band, with just as maniacally steady release schedule if not more, while somehow still maintaining the quality Also second Zombieshark!, he should be up there with Igorrr in terms of popularity my pick for underrated would be Machine Head, Rage and Autopsy

One album that i think deserves more recognition than it gets is nailed.dead.risen by the Deathcore band Impending Doom.

You should check out an 80’s Swedish metal band named PROUD. I believe they actually just put out their 2nd album and it’s good as well. Their first album is named Fire Breaks the Dawn. Has some great guitar work.

Personally, I've loved carnifex' newest album, i knew the band before but hadn't heard much of them and I was pleasantly surprised, definitely agree with a lot of these picks, also love the outfit in this video^^

Great vid...I'll take this opportunity to list of some of my favs, that I think are underrated Thulcandra (Melo Black), Stormruler (Melo Black with medieval themes/synths), Blood Red Throne (Death Metal), Skeletal Remains (Death Metal) Thulcandra is just kind of a regular Melo Black Band, but I still love them Stormruler is really fucking unique and "A Malice Dead & Cold" has to be one of my favourite songs ever (Sacred Rites and Black Magick in general is really good) Skeletal Remains and Blood Red Throne are also just regular Death Metal bands (tho Blood Red Throne has some Black Metal influence I heard), but I just really love them idk (and yes I do think they're better than a lot of popular Death Metal bands) Edit: I have to mention both Condra (Melo Black) and Exocrine (Tech Death) here. I wasn't planning to mention them at first, but I changed my mind Edit 2: I also forgot Lebenssucht (DSBM band)

Kublai khan TX is very underrated, same with malevolence, angelmaker, bleed from within, and opal in sky.

I can mention many, many obscure, underrated releases but If I have to pick one - it's 1987 debut of Dream Death - "Journey Into Mystery"

Savatage immediately comes to mind. Criss Oliva was a guitar god and it's a shame he is never brought up in the same conversations with Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, etc.

Extol, they're a Christian tech/prog/melo/whatevertheyfeellike death metal band that goes all the way back to the 90's but is rarely talked about for some reason. Would highly recommend their 2000 album Undeceived and their 2013 self-titled release.

Here’s my list! Abbie Falls - a metalcore/deathcore band from Czechia, their EP “Hell is Other People” has my favorite riffs… ever Allt - Swedish thall band, they have not made a bad song ever and i am ecstatic for their upcoming album Diamond Construct - nu-metalcore(-ish) Aussie band. Saw another commenter explain their sound better than I could, so I’ll say that their newest LP is one of my albums of the year

Just out of curiosity, absolute no judgement and all the support even if it's true or not. Are you nobinary?

Another very underrated band is imo. Orbit culture, at least number wise. I just love them so much

I'm in love with Testament, especially with the Albums they put out starting from the Gathering until now.

bro is pretty 💔 /p also you should listen to disjoint !!!

Molotov Solution is amazing, super underground

Hundred percent on Carnifex, one of my favorite deathcore bands too

Holyarrow- really solid epic black metal from China with heavy metal influence. Genuinely don't understand how they're still so obscure. Vicarivs Filii Dei- I've never heard anything in black metal like their album Non Cogitant Sed Tamen Sunt. It feels like something that would've been made if black metal had existed during the Romantic period. The Ruins of Beverast- not as underrated or unknown as the others, but after listening to the whole discography knowing that everything is composed and performed by one person, I'm fully convinced that Alexander Von Meilenwald is a musical genius. Critically praised and has a decent following, but I rarely see them mentioned.

Woods of Ypres, Sub Dub Micromachine, Stuck Mojo, Stahlhammer, N.K.V.D., VAK, P.H.O.B.O.S., Fudge Tunnel, Only Living Witness, Unipolar Manic-Depressive Psychosis, Shrüm, Godflesh, Conan, Skrew, Crowbar, Author & Punisher, O Zorn!, Bongtower, KYPCK, Яkорь [Yakor], A lot of these I'm sure a good bit of people haven't heard of. 🙂

I never hear anybody chat about Phyllomedusa’s slammier “Fijian” albums, those are all masterpieces of gorenoise

Spaceslug is genuinely the best modern stoner metal, very unique. Sepcific songs like I, The Tide or Spacerunner are personal highlights for me

There are thousands of good bands that exist and fade away in complete obscurity, all the blood, sweat and tears they put in gone to waste and most of the bands you mentioned are widely popular. In that context I wouldn't classify any of the bands u mentioned underrated

I think this is the sole mention of *The Melvins* that did not explicitly include their massive appeal to one Kurt Cobain and what became Nirvana, tho it's true one could draw their influences all over -- yes I think Part 2 is justified in this case~

I really wonder why Orden Ogan aren't bigger. They are imo the absolute peak of power metal. Whenever they drop a new single my first question is "How high up in the playlist does this go?" All of their stuff is fantastic. I honestly cannot name a mid Orden Ogan song, album, or LP; and I cannot recommend them more. Even my friends who don't listen to metal enjoy their stuff.

1:38 yes I agree They are so good bruh

man i watch you just to find new mental bands to listen to because he might as well take the word of someone whose whole thing is talking about metal music as a whole

No band will ever be as underrated as Manilla Road were. If they were better at business and had a more mainstream production (which might have ruined em) they'd have been up there with Manowar and the greats. Also gonna throw out Cirith Ungol, Visigoth, Sumerlands, Crypt Sermon, the NWOTHM movement as a whole I guess is very very underrated. And that whole epic metal renaissance mainly comes from the influence of Mark Shelton and Manilla Road! They were truly the kings of the underground.. you know Candlemass wouldn't exist without them either? Mark was in the Black Dragon office when Leif sent in the first demo and they were signed by his recommendation. So so much of the non-extreme side of metal is held up by those Wichita legends. Also, PAGAN ALTAR, anybody? Greatest doom band of all time. Just sayin.

Totally true about testsment

I’d say that Riot are very underrated. They were one of the first American Metal bands, and they made a lot of amazing albums, but they never got big mostly because of bad management and a lot of lineup changes. Also, I’m not sure if they count as Metal, but UFO are underrated, since they were highly influential and especially when Michael Schenker was their guitarist, yet for some reason, they’re not as appreciated as bands such as Deep Purple, Scorpions or Black Sabbath…

Carnifex has been mentioned so here I am

Beaten to death is very underatted

Invocator from Denmark, Warpath from Germany

The Sean Baker Orchestra. HEAVILY underrated

Claiming that Bolt Thrower is in any way underrated is wild to me considering that in my book they're *easily* the most overrated band in metal 💀

In my opinion Forbidden and Evil Invaders are underrated

will never stop hating bolt thrower, worst thing to come out of britain since the colonizing nice vid though :)

Testament is not so much underrated, Carnifex however, did have its credit. The Melvins also but not so much talked about this time it's actually the best bands I've heard in the last 7 Years or so but Anthrax would be so highly respected for influencing Nu-Metal and many more bands.

🦧

The most underrated Death Metal band is Gorguts & Atheist, The most Death Thrash band is Demolition Hammer & Protector and The most Thrash Metal band is Stone

PRONG and Sacred Reich 🤘🤘🤘

Nah Bolt Thrower is one of meatridden death metal bands lol

Carcass is number 1 underrated metal band

Any funeral doom band is underrated

*Makes Underrated Metal Bands video* Lists some of the most famous extreme bands of all time, one of which even had a relationship with Games Workshop. Dude... just do some more digging, you've barely even touched the surface of how much Metal there is out there...

Bro is stuck in the past, all these bands are old and not slept on except the fact they aren't going anymore 😂

Heaven Shall Burn and Opeth are extremely unrated.

WHO TF DOESNT KNOW TESTAMENT??? UNDER-RATED???

Grand belials key

The drip misses... If you wanna dress like a girl you gotta know the rules of engagement. Try an undershirt, maybe something cream coloured if you wanna go for the natural colour feel.

KEN Mode, I just discovered them back in 2022 and knowing they existed since the late 1990’s and have a CRIMINALLY CONSISTENT DISCOGRAPHY from their early works like Reprisal and Venerable to their recent sister albums “NULL” and “VOID” and still trying to shape things up with their sound baffles me how they’re still pretty much underrated. Not to mention these guys are running businesses to keep their band afloat and that Jesse is a really cool dude as I have talked with him for advice on getting into guitar and he’s chill from the minor talks we have. VOID was one of my albums of 2023 as its a nice contrast to the more blunt and barbaric sound of previous NULL and it showed more dynamics with the inclusion of their new member. Even if they are still rather more famous, it seems like not a lot of people talk about them and that sucks.

You forgot to put mayhem XD

The drip is underrated
