@jen Have you looked into symphonic metal? https://www.loudersound.com/features/the-25-best-symphonic-metal-albums

I used to enjoy Nightwish and the older material from Within Temptation.

@jen @WuMargaret, I’ve been hearing a lot of Arch Echo (Prog), and Spiritbox (“Modern” Metal) of lately. Here are some good samples:

Aluminosity (Arch Echo Feat. Jordan Rudess): https://songwhip.com/arch-echo/aluminosity

The fact that they feature such legend pulled me into their music. I got the recommendation from Apple Music — my streamer of choice.

Circle with Me (Spirit Box): https://songwhip.com/spiritbox/circle-with-me

Very catchy chorus, and great mix of clean singing and screams. This one was recommended by @jcrabapple and has been in my heavy rotation since then.

@jen Have you heard about @radiofreefedi? It's not a #metal exclusive Internet #RadioStation, but it might provide some interesting pieces of fellow #fedizens.

@thisven @jen You can find metal hiding amongst the eclectic free form mix of the main channel and it's always nice to find some new to you gems and make new friends of many genres.

However, if you want to guarantee many riffs and a fair chunk o metal you should make a date to check out the RFF IS GONNA ROCK YOU blocks - 0400, 1400, 2100 UTC every day on the Specialty channel.

Cheers

@jen we're posting a lot of music recommendations at metalhead.club. Join us if you like :)

There's currently a small hype about Green Lung and their latest release.

You might want to follow @Kitty and @HailsandAles for example.

@jen sleep token? they’re one of the better sing along style metal bands (unsure if they’re really metal, but definitely metal parallel)
