Ranking Over 370 Metal Bands!!

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Lots of bands there. Glad I got you into Heavy Load, now my work is done! :) Cheers!

death not in goats is offensive ngl

Oh, jeez. He takes them off later? Questy is bad, for that one.

[@immu666_]

Nah. Respect for showing your actual opinion and not riding off the hivemind

[@mixedmattaphors]

@@immu666_ I like honesty, but one might also be honest about the objectivity of how good certain things are, which I think many people just lazily or dishonestly wave away.

[@tunacrabbeinghandled]

Nice pfp, and I also haven't finished this video yet, but they should definitely be up there.

[@mixedmattaphors]

@@tunacrabbeinghandled Yeah, I'm all for thinking for yourself. But I'm even more for honesty, and you can spend all day talking about the virtues of saying Death is not a great band, just to "let your freak flag fly." But you could also say two plus two equals five.

[@henrywalton5967]

Dillenger is not an easy band to get into but when it clicks it clicks. Also I wonder how much Fear Factory you have checked out, they're one of my favourite bands ever and they have a really strong discography imo.

[@AK_Respecter]

Dillinger is a GOAT for me personally.

[@sirspookybones1118]

Dillinger is at the very least top tier with no bad releases

[@henrywalton5967]

@@sirspookybones1118 I agree, they basically completed mathcore with their discography.

[@ginova0817]

This is going to be great.

[@simond1574]

The ranking is really fun, although I had 158.bands in Don't Know and 64 in Not My Thing 🙂. On the other hand I miss bands like Alcest, Winterfylleth, Panopticon, Kvelertak, Solstafir, Saor, Persefone, Havukruunu, Iapetus, Drudkh, The Gathering, Caligula's Horse, Blut aus Nord, Borknagar or Apocalyptica. They would all make the Top 3 categories. GOAT: Opeth, Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, Iron Maiden, Enslaved, Savatage, Amorphis, Blind Guardian TOP TIER: Agalloch, Insomnium, The Ocean, Khemmis (not enough albums for GOAT),Windir (same), King Diamond, Candlemass, Haken, Metallica, Obscura, Baroness, Dark Tranquility, Edge of Sanity, Bolt Thrower, Dio, Bathory, Moonsorrow EXCELLENT: Black Sabbath, Slayer, Megadeth, Testament, Tiamat, Sodom, Cirith Ungol, Psychotic Waltz, Rivers of Nihil, Visigoth, Power Trip, Fates Warning, Wintersun, Gojira, Helloween, SOAD, Mastodon, Rage, Paradise Lost, Rammstein

[@somethingelse04]

I really love these longer videos

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

I think you're going to like Satan, it's a bit of a mix between mercyful fate and iron maiden.

[@ryanbarnes840]

Type O Negative is top tier...

[@davevalensky6327]

Somebody needs a lesson in NWOBHM. A lot of bands from this movement is very interesting to step outside of the iron maiden sometimes

[@benwebb4424]

Not sure if it was intentional or not by the person that made the tier list but Black Sabbitch is an actual band. They're an all female Black Sabbath cover band and they're alright.

[@simond1574]

I didn't dare to put OZ in "Don't know", while it might be Ozzy. So I googled. It is not. It's a finnish metal band with great album names like "Burning Leather" or "Fire in the Brain" 🙂 Musically it's not even terrible. Speed metal/Power metal with a bit of a thrashy edge. By the way you should google the cover of their first album "The Oz". That is some terrible stuff 🙂

[@Messihaz]

The first two Ozzy albums with Randy Rhoads are legendary, get your ass on them asap

[@tomasjonsson7141]

All of em in the 80s n 90s are good, Ozzy is the goat🐐

[@IHATEDRIVING2]

I know well Ozzy From "Blizzard of Oz" to "No More Tears" the rest I only know some songs that are Ok for me.

[@Oldy-Sepulchre]

You really need to check out Metal Church. There's no way you won't love them judging off your taste. You can copy and paste what I just said for Satan too

[@RemyBonnici]

The fact you flirted with putting Moonsorrow in the GOAT tier is good enough for me. (But i would definitely put them there). 🤘

[@laliwil]

Do yourself a favor and check out Nevermore when you have a chance. Insane guitar work, interesting vocals. Kinda like a mixture of prog/thrash/power.

[@yourmomshouselol]

Mid at best

[@MegaMicah12]

Prog/Thrash/Power?! Please tell me you know of Manticora as well then!

[@Schelebo]

Nevermore was the worst live performance I’ve seen in my life.

[@enriquefelixberrio7108]

where would you put Turisas and Anathema?

[@Questformetal]

Anathema would be in excellent and turisas although fun live probably be in good for me

Really good tier list actually, but I do think ne obliviscaris deserve excellent tier 😊 also I was very surprised of the rank of some good power metal bands like Stratovarius or helloween, I do agree, but sometimes ppl underrate these power metal gods, thanks for making this video❤

[@justinwallace4688]

I would check out Corrosion of Conformity. Their 80s stuff gives Suicidal Tendencies vibes but changed their style in the following albums

[@BObbert179]

Deftones at the very bottom killed my soul lmao

[@YesMan-uy4cj]

they belong there

[@mixedmattaphors]

Questy, you put the extreme in Extreme Music.

[@mixedmattaphors]

Also, on the Dillinger. Try listening to them, when you're in rage. I turned them off, one day, and then was furious later, and got it.

[@TundraCH]

Have my eyes decieved me?? Periphery in very good tier.. never thought I'd see the day.

[@sirspookybones1118]

Yeah, I thought most people thought they were ass. Happy with the placement though, I quite like them.

[@car3272los]

Honestly they should be in at least excellent

[@chriscaver259]

So many bands it’s overwhelming! But certainly a good problem to have!

Are you into Univers Zero?

[@Moviefanforever5679]

Immortal and Mayhem got me into black metal. Now I'm hooked.

HOW DARE YOU (They 1-4 albums are crazy good)

[@IHATEDRIVING2]

Asking Alexandria, I never liked either. That mixing vocals, like having Glen Benton and Justin Bieber singing along feel so weird for me. Not my cup of tea.

[@tomasjonsson7141]

A bit proud to have heard most of thise bands, also cool list, but wait you havent listened to any Ozzy thats blesphemy bro🐐🐐🐐

[@StefanoMauri-l4w]

Ei do you like In This Moment my super Varg Metal bro ??

[@lasa9595]

Really wanted to hear your take on Kyuss because it's one of my favourite bands but it somehow wasn't on the list, which is baffling since The Sword was on it, you could argue it's more rock than metal and that's why it wasn't on there, but so were Misfits and Porcupine Tree

[@ddvin5872]

Kyuss isn't Metal, just like so many more bands on here. This list almost didnt make sense

[@narciselul6050]

Death is actually in GOAT. Greatest discography in metal.

[@harrisonmullaly9194]

A+ for putting Neurosis in GOAT.

[@memetopia5130]

The fact you put LP in trash shows there's something wrong with you, they're literally the biggest metal band of all time for a reason. The GOATS are LP, Slipknot, SOAD, Rammstein and Korn.

[@TheRankist]

I fucking love you, Dio is one of my favorite metal bands, super underrated

[@NeObliv]

Megadeth = good guitars with terrible vocals, Tool kinda sucks but if you take all their great songs you’ll have a perfect album of around 8-10 songs, sabbath created heavy metal (but I get it they went downhill after about 4 albums or so), fear factory’s early stuff was ahead of it’s time,

[@cryptzzz1188]

Haha, My Dying Bride is a lot more consistent (and better imo) than PL and Katatonia :) You know lots of bands! PL were more experimental in their catalogue, Katatonia... Some of their stuff is great, some is really boring to me (mostly the recent stuff). MDB however, I don't think there is an album of theirs (maybe only Evinta) that I at least don't enjoy. Even the new stuff is wow, very elegant. On their 2012 release you can really hear how authentic they sound, as if they just found their way, after so many years!
