[@humthappa7159]

Oh you will not like the fact that most of the things are made with metal

[@growingmelancholy8374]

oil. it's oil you are thinking of.

[@nathanhunt3104]

That dirt take is tough to hear, my favorite grunge album probably

[@Alexroberts666]

super proud of my boys Electric wizzy making the list

[@grantrog]

Symbolic take makes me sad but SOAD and Electric Wizard take make up for it! great video as always brother.

[@Evojo42]

I think the problem that I had when first listening to death metal was that’s there’s not many genres that capture the same heaviness . I would recommend revisiting death after listening to more prog/thrash metal. Once it clicks, you’ll never look back!

[@g-man4744]

@@Evojo42 or not ...I LOVE early Death but after "Human" they lost me, and Symbolic never clicked with me, been into metal since the mid-90s so I guess it'll never happen for me.

[@BoboMusicalHobo]

Master of Puppets (Metallica) - 0:33 Rust in Peace (Megadeath) - 1:58 White Pony (Deftones) - 3:10 Dirt (Alice in Chains) - 4:30 Paranoid (Black Sabbath) - 5:38 Boris at Last -Feedbacker- (Boris) - 6:56 Toxicity (System of a Down) - 8:08 Symbolic (Death) - 9:55 Rage Against the Machine - 11:33 Dopethrone (Electric Wizard) - 12:36

[@zetsushoren]

thanks i just wanted to know what this dude considers as "the best" only to find out they definitely ain't 😂 what was i expecting

[@sickbeet4219]

I love how he loves Dopethrone for being sludge metal but hates Dirt for being sludge metal

[@ThEmB0nEz]

Maybe he'll like their Self Titled album since that's their sludiest album, also funny him saying Dirt is the same song over & over again because that's exactly what I hear when I listen to Electric Wizard(still good though), like how is Godsmack & Down in a Hole or Would even close to the same song? Crazy take.

[@thehandsanitizersmuggler]

Death is one of my favourite bands, and Symbolic is one of my favourite albums. Hope you can grow to appreciate it one day, but love the fact you liked Electric Wizard.

[@ok.8363]

honestly surprised you liked feedbacker, i'd say its one of the hardest boris albums to get throught, hope you have fun listening (also if u get a chance, i highly recommend amplifier worship, it's sluge metal and since dopethrone was your favorite, you might like it)

[@KyleReidMu]

Thanks for the rec!!

[@bakon180]

Go back to Symbolic after listening to more metal. With subgenres like death metal it's very hard to appreciate it if you aren't really familiar with other types of metal, people typically work their way up in heaviness when getting into metal.

[@g-man4744]

Symbolic is not even a death metal album IMO....it's extreme metal/prog. From that era there is death metal that's technically good, I'd recommend stuff like Suffocation.

[@GodofToast]

how can someone hate all of metal

[@snakebarber]

"the guy is just screaming the whole time!" Also my grandmothers take on metal

[@robevtayl3944]

ok yeah sybolic isnt exactly a beginner album but sound of perseverance is a lot more digestable. i also HIGHLY recommnend mezmerize if toxicity was a little too heavy cuz my friend said the same thing about toxicity but loved mezmerize

[@coolchannelat]

I’m honestly surprised Electric Wizard is what he said was his favorite lol, during RATM he was like “it’s not that heavy which makes me able to get into it easier” but also his favorite one is the heaviest album out of the ones that he listened to lmaoo Edit: also btw I heavily recommend checking out more SOAD all of their stuff is great (their self titled is their best album after Toxicity imo), and also I recommend checking out the band “Nine Inch Nails”, they’re absolutely amazing and the 2 albums I recommend the most is “The Downward Spiral” and “The Fragile” (The Fragile has more melodic takes on it where as The Downward Spiral is almost strictly a metal album with “Hurt” and “Piggy” being the exceptions, so you might be more into The Fragile but either way I’m sure you’ll probably enjoy them because they’re great)

[@thesamuraimastr]

Even with that trash Symbolic take, I love your content. Keep up the good work Kyle!

[@KyleReidMu]

Thanks samuraimastr! I greatly appreciate it

[@billhicks8]

He'll come around. Needs to hear more death metal before taking on that one.

[@CoolCoolYams]

If you liked BCNR, you need to try Chat Pile or Ashenspire, since they would be the metal equivalent.

[@pete5367]

a modern metal video would be fun. like chat pile, kvelertak, deafheaven, etc.

[@CoolCoolYams]

Hell yes

[@Caveduck0137]

Chat pile mentioned lets gooooo

[@yally6127]

Listen to ashes against the grain by agalloch that’s easily my favorite metal album and honestly transcends the genre

[@marauder_-]

That’s how I feel about The Mantle, Agalloch is the band I show to anyone who thinks metal is incapable of being beautiful.

[@Lorenzommusic]

The mantle >>>>>

[@mustard639]

Wait I found someone that likes agalloch

[@marauder_-]

@ Wyattxhim just uploaded a video on them 22 minutes ago omfg

[@chillepalmerz]

I resonate with this video as I thought I hated metal before I got into Dopethrone after which I got way into early Sabbath (you didn’t mention my favorite track on Paranoid and the least metal track “Planet Caravan”). I also recommend Black Sabbath’s debut, Sleep’s Holy Mountain and Witchcult Today by Electric Wizard.

[@chadmcdoogle175]

Big respect for giv9ng it a try! Metal is so diverse there's a lot to check out Also if you liked dopethrone I would highly recommend Acid Mammoth. They have Black Sabbath style vocals and Electric Wizard style fuzz

[@KyleReidMu]

Sounds intriguing!

[@jakemcelroy954]

If you want more sludge metal check out Acid Bath When The Kite String Pops. Essential metal in my opinion.

[@thesamuraimastr]

@@jakemcelroy954 YES one of the best metal albums I've heard

[@sickfitz4256]

"Sonic Excess in Its Purest Form" by Crowbar is another great album, but idk if he'd be ready for it. Crowbar is ridiculously heavy, that shit will shatter every bone in his body.

[@PostmortemAlchemy]

god i love kite string

[@g-man4744]

The first Down album would probably be a better place to start than Acid Bath, but it's a dope album no doubt!

[@Lebowski55]

You should do this for Folk music too. Because you're not much of a Folk or Folk adjacent fan right?

[@KyleReidMu]

Not a bad idea

[@abdulmajeedahm644]

There are a lot of great modern metal classics, foundations of burden by Pallbearer, sunbather by Deafheaven, and last year had great albums by Knocked Loose and Blood Incantation

[@KyleReidMu]

Been wanting to check out those Knocked Loose and Blood Incantation albums

[@wheelsofmercury]

Awesome to see you trying to get into metal!

[@maryfreegirl2029]

Merzbow mentioned 🗣️🗣️

[@nibeam9251]

Once Metal clicks with you you'll never go back! 🤘

[@NovemberOnion]

I knew your opinion was invalid when you said that Merzbow isn’t the goat. Merzbow is THE GOAT

[@maryfreegirl2029]

EXACTLY

[@sethallen2276]

Listen to Jane Doe by Converge! It’s my all time favorite metal album and it really helped me understand and click with screamed vocals

[@maryfreegirl2029]

That one might kill him

[@simonunge6911]

fucking hate that album

[@VikoTheBassist]

Great but definitely not entry level

[@thegreattober]

If he didn't like Death he won't like Converge

[@operationdesertstorms]

Not metal

[@MichaelSheaAudio]

The great thing about metal, is that I'm not into ANY of these bands, and there's still a place for me. It's such a wide genre that there's basically something for everyone. :)

[@theotodd]

I first listened to Symbolic two years ago And found that album and other death metal hard to get into. At the moment today, it’s my favourite genre. Chuck is amazing

[@FatmanNotBatman890]

I think a video like this for Emo or Japanese music (shimokita-kei is a genre for it) would be good.

[@milesmakesnoise]

If you like the bass in rage against the machine, listen to a lot of The Battle of Los Angeles. Songs like Calm Like A Bomb are amazing and the bass on that album is so incredible

[@jaellycookie]

Dopethrone is easily my favourite metal album of all time and I really like metal!

[@pete5367]

ive stood on this hill since 8th grade: disposable heroes is the best song metallica has ever made.

[@Ssemodnar]

you should listen to Cowboys From Hell, City Of Evil, Waking The Fallen, Show No Mercy, and Number Of The Beast. All of them are great albums (also they might get you closer to having a good take on Symbolic)

[@SomeRandomPersonOnYoutube]

Heres some recommendations that I think are perfect for first metal listeners The Devil Wears Prada - With Roots Above And Branches Below (Metalcore) Gojira - L'Enfant Sauvage (Progessive Metal) Tool - Lateralus (Progressive Metal) VOLA - Witness (Progressive Metal) Devin Townsend Project - Transcendence (Progressive Metal) Knocked Loose - You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To (Hardcore) Spiritbox - Eternal Blue (Progressive Metalcore) Suicide Silence - The Cleansing (Deathcore) Psychostick - Sandwich (Comedy Metal/Humorcore) Bring Me The Horizon - Suicide Season (Metalcore) Car Bomb - Mordial (Mathcore) Sleeping With Sirens - Let's Cheers To This (Post-Hardcore) A Skylit Drive - Wires...And The Concept Of Breathing (Metalcore/Post-Hardcore) Machine Head - The More Things Change... (Groove/Thrash Metal) Mastodon - Leviathan (Progressive Sludge Metal) TesseracT - One (Progressive Metal)

In the words of a wise man “I needed this” drake

[@judahlee2367]

rate your music was probably not the best place to start. but you liked feedbacker! so maybe it was for you

[@thehandsanitizersmuggler]

Electric Wizard is top class stoner doom. I would recommend you listen to Sleep’s Holy Mountain, and Bonzilla’s amerijuanican. Not as heavy but they have the same feel

[@vincentskater]

Damn Kyle you're actually so cool

[@sickfitz4256]

As a metalhead, this video was complete agony to sit through, but I respect you for trying different genres of music. A handful of (relatively) accessible metal albums are: Slayer - Reign in Blood (Not their best, but probably their most influential. The next 2 Slayer albums were better) Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power (Listen to all their 90s shit, really) Slipknot - Vol. 3 The Subliminal Verses (Listen to the 2 albums before this) Lamb of God - Ashes of the Wake (No comment, just peak) Sepultura - Chaos AD (The 2 before this one were better imo) You aren't ready for the really extreme stuff (yet), but these records definitely served as gateway drugs for death metal for me. Also, don't use RYM for metal, a lot of metal fans don't like that site very much.

[@qriofficial1769]

I've been slowly getting into metal over the last two or so years, but this year I decided to go all in and check out the classics, so I found a list of the top 100 metal bands and I'm making my way through each band's discography. In addition to the ones I already checked out, I've listened to three bands for the first time: Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Maudlin Of The Well. The first two came from the list and the third one came from another list of more experimental recs but it was metal so I decided to check it out. Holy shit tho, Black Sabbath is mind-blowing. They lowk might become one of my favorite bands soon, they're the metal equivalent of The Beatles, King Crimson or Radiohead. I prob won't shut up about them for the rest of the year ! 🤣

[@CliffordTheVulture]

good for you 👍

[@Tom-do4vz]

If you ever decide to listen to a hardcore metal album, check out Knocked Loose's You wont go before youre supposed to. Addictive riffs

[@sertcat]

Dopethrone WWWW

[@acoolrocket]

Kinda crazy you didn't like Infest the Rats, not the most into thrash metal and yet Infest the Rats is probably my 3rd or 2nd favorite King Gizzard album.

[@Lorenzommusic]

You should definitely check out Mezmerise/hypnotize by SOAD it's as good as Toxicity IMO

[@thesamuraimastr]

@@Lorenzommusic And their self-titled

[@samuelunderwood3286]

Dude if you like black sabbath and electric wizard then you should listen to sleep, the sword, monolord, and windhand. They arent as heavy as electric wizard (nothing is lol) but provide a wide spectrum of the genre of doom metal.

[@Pupaya757]

Death is heavy, don’t get me wrong, but if they are too much for you then yeah you will not like what the deeper stuff you can find in the genre is

[@sunnycynical]

it took me about like, 3 to 4 years to fully get into death metal but i still dont think that stuff is close to the greatest metal music that exists. trying to get into metal means finding out that black sabbath is in fact already the peak of metal and nothing beyond them is on the same level

[@pizzashorts887]

I get not liking Death. It took a while for me, until I started to love it. I just continued with my taste in metal which later developed into more harsher sounds, until I got to Death Metal. The bands that got me into death were Gojira then Opeth (my favorite band oat) If you go back to it I recommend the albums Gojira - From Mars to Sirius (Progressive Groove death metal) Opeth - Blackwater Park (Progressive folk death metal)

[@theop158]

If you want to check out more sludge metal I recomend Acid Bath

[@Lorenzommusic]

13:32 if you like sludge metal you should check out Blood Mountain by Mastodon

[@kriskrieger9960]

I thought Alice In Chains was grunge.

[@thesamuraimastr]

@@kriskrieger9960 They're both

[@samihaddadin42]

you should check out Pink by Boris, more of a traditional album structure than Feedbacker and just as incredible

[@operationdesertstorms]

Listen to Paul Chain Violet theater listen to Sabbat listen to Immolation listen to Pagan Altar

[@sasquatchwizard]

Fuck yeah sludge metal takes all

[@Slavlasagna]

I give the sludge 5 big booms

[@PakoBar2717]

Pls listen to these: Keygen Church - Nel Nome Del Codice Poppy - I Disagree Hail Spirit Noir - Mayhem in Blue Gojira - Magma Negura Bunget - Virstele Pamintului Blood Incantation - Absolute Elsewhere

[@maryfreegirl2029]

You should listen to murmuüre self titled it's harsh at points but you might like its sound

[@nikhtzatzi]

Νοw try some motley crue, Carcass, suicide silence , typeOnegative, darkthrone and knocked loose. Not that youll find them better, its just fun to watch people react to things they normally dont listen to.

[@T_R_X_S_H]

Who told you that AIC is metal they make grunge

[@ThEmB0nEz]

AIC themselves call themselves a Metal band

[@Lorenzommusic]

L Dirt take It's not a perfect album but it's one of the best grunge records

[@PureAsbestos]

ok now do noise music 😎

[@s4n7r0]

you should listen to last days of humanity

[@AyeeeFalco]

METAL IS GOATED!!!

[@MrMungus]

I agree with your 'dirt' take, not the best alice in chains album at all

[@AMikeman]

Megadeth can get boring, unlike Metallica, I agree
