Finding a good song is like trying to breed for shiny Pokémon. No matter the sub-genre, a lot of the songs sound boring. By this I mean no good melody that makes me listen to the entire song so I'll just give up like 30 seconds into the song.

I'm not really found of it either for the most part. Especially metal guitar, the excessive speed tends to kill any sort of emotion that could be conveyed and replaces it with "Look what I can do!"

My favorite band is actually Children Of Bodom so I was looking for more bands that sound like it. The recommendations for more melodic death metal sucked, imo. I listened to some of the songs by Carcass, In Flames, Arch Enemy, etc. but I couldn't listen to the entirety of it (I just skipped around) since there were no interesting bits. They're nothing like the early COB songs.

Sounds like a joke but at the same time it might be a real sub-genre. :think:

I dont mind speed. As a matter of fact i think it can make it sound better. I just hate it when (and all genres do this) a band/musician makes some boring-ass noise with no structure because they think sounding "deep" makes them better. That and thinking that muh meaningful lyrics can make up for lost quality. Maybe I'm just listening to the wrong sub-genres.

A lot of the best metal has extremely slow paced guitar though

I listen to a little of everything and think metal is the most musically diverse. Obviously within specialized subgenres things start to sound the same, but heavy metal in general integrates a lot more musical styles than the other popular genres. Pop, country, rap, etc, all exist within much more narrow bands.

You do have to do some digging to find the "good" metal, though. I wouldn't expect anyone to be able to turn on a random metal station and expect to like what they hear since even I as a metal fan can't do that.

Exactly! To me the ratio of good to bad metal songs is 1:20. And your hypothetical metal station scenario is true. I bet if someone showed me any song by any of the main metal bands (the big four) I'd think it was hella boring. The main band that I've discovered in the digging in search of good metal is Children Of Bodom. There's more but this is my most favorite band.

I like Nekrogoblikon mostly because they're very tongue in cheek on top of having fantastic instrumentals.

Vocals are hit or miss but they grew on me.

Also they have a hype goblin.

Going to sleep so I'll listen to all these tomorrow. Here's some more things I'm into: Battle Beast, Equilibrium, Dragonland, Parom, Iron Savior. Note: these aren't infallible bands and still contain their share of boring songs (except Battle Beast) but these tend to be the more speed-ier type of metal. This is important since when being fast, melody almost becomes a requirement. (This isn't always true but that sorta have to co-exist.) inb4 "so power metal?" Not exactly. There's a ton of power metal that I don't like that others would consider good. (Kamelot, Iced Earth, DragonForce, Gamma Ray) This is because it doesn't meet my requirements of stuff I enjoy. (To be super melodic) Jusy think of this song as an example of my perfect song:

Every part of that is catchy and there's not one second of boring, filler noise.

Have you listened to Sonata arctica? Its not similar to Bodom, but its worth to check out.

Also, Before the dawn is pretty good.

ok so I just made a playlist just for you TC.

If you are bored just listen to a few tracks and don't skip through tracks. Most of them are short.
Give feedback to songs you listened to then I can adjust and show you other songs which suit your taste better.

So far the only things I've enjoyed were:

Mercenary - The Hours That Remain
Imperanon - Vein
Euphorion - Before The Blackened Sky

Oh, and the Norther song.

A large amount of metal just straight-up sucks, but when it's good, it's better than sex.

Most other genres seem to have a more consistent level of quality, but nothing really mindblowing at all.

I love a bunch of different subgenres of metal but I can agree.
Some genres have so much crap in them. But the good tracks of the genre are amazing.
You really have to look through the genre yourself and listen to a bunch of crap before finding good stuff.
Also most of the time if you like a song the rest from the band shouldnt be much worse. At least everything that came before.

Here TC, how about best metal band ever formed. Opinions. Their melody isn't quite as good as Children of Bodom but their lyrics are absolutely out of this world compared to anyone else, and I vastly prefer lyrics in my music over everything else.

If you need more than two words to describe the style a song belongs to, it's not actually a thing.
