[@SethD15]

Thank you. I was about to comment that he should really list the bands/songs in the description, or in a pinned comment in these types of videos.

[@nickxdrew]

Okay now I'm intrigued, I created a playlist for /r/metalcore with the same 10k listeners threshold and not a single one of these bands are on it! Excited to hear all new stuff

[@AYKband]

You're out here doing the lords work my guy 🙏

[@roth8558]

i love ascera

[@zenthevanguard2778]

Surprised more people haven't heard of The Royal tbf.

[@jojomalibu7310]

Thanks for featuring my band Immortal Construct Nik, huge honor 😁

[@TheJonatom]

Dude I love your band, keep it up!

[@IAMONE]

Thank you for featuring us, and thank you all for listening! Our next release is coming 29th of March, hope to see you there!

[@ProtectThisCity]

it's gonna be siiiiiick ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

[@FairyCRat]

In case anyone was wondering, the Ikinä song is in Finnish

[@crawlwithoutyou]

Destard makes me feel like Doom Guy

[@The_Art_of_Music_Official]

Honestly 😂

[@JaxJangles]

Reminded me of an actual heavy Emmure.

[@oscarlorenzo5155]

No

[@truehellbeliever6664]

So many great new bands!!! Harkla smashed my face with that breakdown. Destard, Ascera, Leviated, bro all of them are great!!!

[@elliotelminberg9675]

Harkla is a Swedish word lol, it's like clearing ur throat

[@oSileyCT-7212]

Her Last Sight is such an underrated Metalcore band 🔥

[@flashchelsar]

Yeeeeesssss

[@orikarin714]

More great underated bands in the israeli scene everyone should check out

[@oSileyCT-7212]

​@@flashchelsar i just didn't suggest them because they have around 50k listeners

[@dzoniii]

I found Orbit Culture few days ago … cant stop listening them

[@Jondoe18702]

They are touring with Defects check them out ….

[@Jondoe18702]

Orbit are amazing

[@kthulhukif]

Damn straight!

[@Dakenousss]

Does Orbit Culture count as an underrated band?

[@PhilippeArantesTina]

Nick is the friend that knows all the cool bands. I've found so many cool bands thank to him. Thanks 🤘

[@ShadowFlame420]

for anyone who likes Car Bomb or Meshuggah, check out Weston Super Maim. they released a new album today but they have less than 5k monthly listeners on spotify

[@ragingstorm79]

Glad to see IKINÄ get some love, one of my favourite albums last year

[@_dakoda]

"6:00 Blood Menace - Vicious Beings" Jake deserves the attention! I hope this video gets him more attention, it's a solo project!

[@Ayrtonno]

Couldn't agree more!

[@iceticketliongaming806]

Honestly my favorite pick from this besides The Royal & Mavis, defs gonna check his stuff out

[@scaryscooter]

My personal recommendation if I sent in a band would be Cyborg Octopus. They're a prog/deathcore band which isn't just heavy breakdowns, and they incorporate some different genres into the mix as well like funk, jazz, and western.

[@slimscudtwo]

I swear, those bands that are heavy and have a perfect mix are instantly on my playlist

[@user_abuser_o7]

4:28 can you even say that word anymore, destard? That's destarded. In the good way.

[@user_abuser_o7]

Those scrape sounded like fucking spiders, like space spiders zooming past you from all angles

[@smokejc]

Harkla and Ikina are great.

[@princealigorna7468]

I don't even know if they're on Spotify, but y'all need to listen to Psychomancer . They're a death metal band from the late-90s from Michigan City, Indiana and are local legends. They put out 2 albums between 1998 and 2002 before breaking up, but they reformed and put out an album in 2018 on Bandcamp. Killer shit if you like that 90s sound.

[@TheZeinaful]

Thanks for featuring Ikinä! They are mad good!!!!

[@777SlaYt777]

Would be very nice if u would do a frequent video like this.

[@alys__drummer]

There’s a band with 52 monthly called Ivy The Roar, listened to their song “Money” goes pretty hard, disgusting vocals if I remember correctly. Artwork is pretty sick too

[@DidYouKnowMetal]

Please keep making these videos Nik! Exposure is so important for up and coming bands. Way to use your platform. 🤘🏻

[@bartbakker742]

please PLEASE continue doing this!! we need this.

[@GiveThemHorns]

A lot of SOLID recommendations. Nik farming out the hard work and spoon feeding us the results.

[@TinaHyde-music]

Thanks for this! There are some really cool bands here!

[@Selynn.]

*Blood Tsunami*, especially the album "For Faen", but honestly everything they came up with is awesome.

[@MichaCorvinMorgenstern]

So im from a small town in germany, here are a few Bands from my area: Motorjesus (heavy rock) , Cause For Confusion (Modern Metal), Ignition(Heavy Metal), Divine:Zero (Melodic Death Metal), Scornage(kinda-thrash metal/groovy af) ,Fjørt(Post Hardcore) , Never Back Down (HC/Metalcore) , Dedpool(kinda Groove Metal)

[@zacharycheuk8431]

A great small Aussie death metal band is Nembutolik, especially their song Angel of Meth. They're also a band that is unbelievably good live

[@tormentsband]

Thank you for checking is out Nik! We have just started putting out new songs on our channel, if anyone would want to check them out ❤️

[@mrbrimstone7115]

broooooo Bodine Wirihana is such an underrated music artist, so cool to see him in this list! Also as a recommendation, you should check out a metal band called The Word of Lawder.

[@passingaway]

if you're into like EVERY single genre of metal getting thrown into a song, i highly suggest checking out "Separatist".

[@bertramwinkleofficial]

one band that I just stumbled upon recently is deathcore band We Are Perspectives. I was SHOCKED when I found out they only had 2k listeners

[@claytonmitchell5685]

I was going to submit a song by Bodine Wirihana in this very stream, and I fat fingered and hit CRTL-ALT instead of CTRL-V to paste 😂 so I’m glad someone else had the same instinct

[@leethal1986]

He's an absolute G

[@conorbaumgardner3591]

you feel invincible when half of them have already been your daily listens 😈😈

[@CarrotTheParrot]

I love this!! ❤ Got to know a bunch of new bands i for sure will keep listening!! More of this if possible :)

[@malcolmrff]

Levitated is absolute heavy af. The break about halfway throught the song is fucking brutal

[@glutenenjoyer__]

Hell yeah Levitated. "Coincide" has been my favourite workout song for the past year.

[@cooperhurst2639]

Everyone should check out Diseased and Depraved. They just dropped their debut album and it’s really good

[@belcarra]

I love how much thall was in here. Makes my cold, dead heart a little warmer ☺

[@bigdj0ntz8]

THAT riff from harkla is pure fire 🔥

[@patback01]

Finally blood menace getting some love

[@alexduraev]

Guys you absolutely must check out “Pleiades Map”, the new single by the band called Saphath:) that’s one of the “you cannot miss” things

[@loweffortproductions1985]

Ooh, I missed this, but highly recommend Neck of the Woods if you do a stream like this again. They're almost at 2,000 monthly listeners. They're a little Metalcore band from B.C. Canada. I love everything on their debut album "The Passenger". If I had to choose one banger though, I would say listen to Face of the Villain

[@CBGBBB]

Blood menace is what they play on a loop in torture chambers 😂

[@goof9081]

"Heavens Die "and "A Knife in the Dark" are pretty good

[@deletado12]

More videos like this. Thanks for the new bands.

[@galamoth_89]

Great video! Would love to see more! Sidenote: If you guys aren’t listening to the band Thus Spoke Zarathustra, you should be 😊

[@cooperhurst2639]

Thus Spoke Zarathustra mentioned lesgoooo!

[@peterchampagney4990]

You should check out the song it all goes dark by the midwest borealis. I found the artist from his kerbal space program videos on his channel N9 gaming, and I knew he made some music, but I was blown away when I heard this. Unfortunately, I dont think he has made any other metal songs yet

[@mikey13086]

"Harm" is a band that deserves to be on this list. they have some incredible stuff, even with the female lead cursive singing sometimes.

[@fuguthefish]

I will go follow ALL of them.

[@therealcleany]

The vocalist of The Royal was actually one of the last vocalists running for new vocalist of Northlane. Still a great band. The Royal are probably gonna make a comeback. They've been quiet for a few years now.

[@amiraskari4055]

i just added 3 new songs to my playlist. plzzz make more videos like this

[@dadisbadatgames]

These are my favorite NN videos for real. It would be cool if you'd drop the bands and song titles you check out in the description.

[@Remmy-iq3bs]

Thanks Nik. Amazing how many really good bands out there that are so good and many better than the more popular ones. Thanks again

[@opethvarium418]

Check By The Thousands! The homies dropped a new EP today that fucking slaps! Love this type of thing showcasing the underground talent!

[@erniecornedy]

Has Nik even done We Are Perspectives yet?!?! Total smash!

[@cooperhurst2639]

Such an underrated band

[@dudewithtouretts7338]

I haven't watched the full video yet but I really hope Infestantibus is on here! They are absolutely incredible! I've been listening to them since they had only two monthly listeners (now they are at around 100)

[@julianthomas2042]

A local german radio station used to play i aint no horse from Placenta way back when it came out, Berlin legends lol :D

[@tacticalwookiee7476]

Dagon. Has 790 monthly listeners and have some absolute bangers. Its Amon Amarth but istead of Vikings its about Pirates.

[@MattMadgarr]

So glad The Royal got featured here, been a fan for years

[@kylekiessling7158]

Random but listening to Sirius XM and they featured your song with bad wolves on Octane! So sick to hear so keep doing what you’re doing and I always get a kick out of your content!

[@HeaddressMusicTX]

Deep diving on Spotify. I found this band called Texas Cut Throat. I can’t stop listening to them

[@wanderergrim]

You should check out Seasons Awake, they're a deathcore band with two vocalists, two guitarists and a drummer but no bass player.

[@BenelliAkimbo]

You need to check out Rise Of The Northstar Nik. Their style is known for melding heavy metal/hardcore punk/hip hop with Japanese pop culture

[@assanitor04]

He Who Creates - Echoes One of the most bad ass songs I’ve ever heard.

[@uniservicemann3186]

Mad props to Caleb for Ascera, my favorite instrumental thall project. Also that Mavis song has been on repeat for months for me

[@JCaleb]

I am an aspiring thall collector, always looking out for more

[@uniservicemann3186]

@JCaleb the other two I highly recommend are Olympus Lenticular and "all I can say is" who also have a yt channel.

[@JCaleb]

@@uniservicemann3186 already had them on my playlist for months, ty though

[@Grotlo94]

Despite Exile is one that I would suggest. They're some deathcore metalcore mix. The newest album rips

[@zacjohnson19]

Hereafter. Aussies guys with less than a thousand monthly. And they hit hard

[@DJTheMetalheadMercenary]

You gotta check out Wastewalker dude, they got a new album (their 3rd) coming out soon too.

[@shinobymaster]

Dude, I know how much you love KSE, you NEED to check a band from that era called TWELVE TRIBES. The Rebirth of Tragedy and Midwest Pandemic are BANGER albums!

[@conradcrawford1384]

Destard, that hits HARD. Whoever shared that, thank you! Digging the e.p. right now!

[@bolillo5013]

I had heard of a few of these, but thanks for the rec’s

[@SamuelBlackMetalRider]

Levitated, DESTARD & Blood Menace. These sound killer 🔥

[@duskmoon181]

Again I suggest you check out any of Princewhateverer's songs. If you want heavy Nik, listen to Code Phantom, Reclamation (The Invasion), and ALR3ADY Dead. I'd love to see one of those bad boys in your videos!

[@UponThisAltar]

Man, huge shoutout to Levitated. I found like like four days after their album dropped and I had it on repeat for the following week.

[@cabezadelmetal]

Do a less than 100 listeners version so my old metalcore band stands a chance LOL

[@johnbob2698]

When is Nik gonna check out Avralize? Lotus is such a banger

[@artbyphobia]

Self deceptionnnn! They have AMAZING metalcore music

[@jampiemallemans5126]

Nik: Maximum of 10000 monthly listereners Me: Noooooo, Nekonomicon!

[@paulchomedey2073]

An abstract illusion for prog/melo death enjoyers is an absolute must try. Give them a listen trust

[@metalcore_slaps]

opal in sky is really good. theyre small but they release bangers

[@lillight2893]

The wall windwaker is a banger

[@Benmendoza1]

Check out “From A Second Story Window”, they’re so good and go way back to the early 2000s

[@Baneowo]

absolute favorite band of mine is Xanthochroid, their songs have incredible story telling and amazing instrumentals, highly recommend

[@gazroxcod4]

Lycanthrope need some spotlights on them, love em!

[@rdcarey3]

Overoth- Harbinger of the End Times. So little recognition for a banger song.

[@PatrycjaM96]

Can you imagine? Last week, my boyfriend and I were watching your video, and I mentioned, "Hey, it would be cool if Nik did a video on some unknown bands!" METAL TELEPATHY

[@benwallace5389]

Fugitive is a band I’ve been recommending a lot lately as well as Enforced

[@Lucofur]

When does he usually do this? How do I make suggestions?

[@thrashtoad6956]

Put Ascera and Destard in my Djent/Thall playlist. Awesome artists

[@mikedreiling1024]

No matter how much his speech improves he's still at 21 level which makes sense as much as he messes up

[@MRFLAPPYTREE]

A really good one to check out is Euclid. The song River Pig is real good

[@Mega_Bitez]

NASCENT - Artifact. Give it a crack

[@jessepearson8541]

The Holly Springs Disaster

[@JaxJangles]

I think everyone was pretty fair about all of these, thank god for chat 😂 some bangers I’ve never heard for sure, tho.

[@JeremyHodges]

The Shokran love. I'm here for it.

[@rbnteodoro]

You have to do a video about the best metal covers of all time.

[@helvetinpaskaa]

Ursus Arctus its my band, new shit coming soon to that

[@Zerothnz]

Check out 8 Foot Sativa, band from New Zealand. 6,881 montly listeners, their first 2 albums are absolute bangers I assure you. They're a bit older, kind of nu metal/groove, my fav songs are Chelsea Smile, Fuel Set, Destined to be Dead

[@RGH-CarpFarm]

Check out Primitive - Nightmare and Primitive - Cerberus, they from The Netherlands, amazing stuff!

[@cyangtw]

No one mentioned Ningen Isu? I assume that it doesn't limit to only English singing Metal bands. But they're really a hidden gem, really good.
