This community rocks at this, so I create a playlist for all the artists that got mentioned. I'm sorry if I missed some, mostly due to how clumsy I am, or Spotify doesn't have the artists. One song per artist, and I will have the privilege to judge the best one :p Click here to rock on \m/

With a lot of terrible things happened around the world lately, I create this thread to make me (and hopefully you) feel lighter with some wholesomeness from the community.

There are 3 things that I absolutely can't live without: my dog, my guitar, and my iPod (yes, the classic clunky one). I recently got into Hard Rock/Metal and would love some songs suggestion to satisfy this appetite! My favourite bands at the moment include Machine Head and As I Lay Dying, so posting them would be cheating :p But I'm open up to any tunes really!

For the people who have (a) pets, please flaunt them! I would love to see your dearies, the ones that put a smile on you after long hard days. Down below is my pup Apollo, he is a black lab that eats literally everything (like his own poo, yikes...)

I'm also planning on buying a guitar if my job application got accepted. Hence, if you want, you can spoil me with your guitar pics too :p


Okay okay enough of me wanting things from you, here is a tiny gift from me to say thanks!
It is Batman Arkham: Origins. I put a lvl1 and jigidi (15 pieces) in there just to prevent bots.


P/s: I'm not very active on the forum so I won't be able to reply to every comment, but know that I appreciate you, ok :^) ? Great day!

Oh man you do have the sickest songs ever. And I have heard about none of them except for Five Finger. I will do some serious listening and get back to you on this. The first three are epic tho!

Thank you for the time to compile this list!

I've been really into Sabaton lately. If you like history or just cool stories, they're even better. Here are some of their videos:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZNeastYxEc - To Hell and Back. Tells the story of Audie Murphy, and the video talks of his struggle with PTSD and getting clean from the addictive drugs they put him on because of the PTSD.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01IaKb6DmTwf - Uprising. The story of the Warsaw Uprising.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7NSUFDHFgg - Night Witches. The all female 588th Soviet Night Bombers.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLTpKs2ylP4 - White Death. Simo Häyhä, a sniper in the Soviet invasion of Finaland whose story is just insane. At lowest count, 259 confirmed sniper kills, with an equal number of submachine gun kills. The Soviets tried hunting for him, setting up counter snipers, and finally, when nothing else worked, resorted to artillery strikes wherever they thought he might be. He was finally shot in the jaw with an explosive bullet on the 6th of March 1940. It knocked him unconscious for a week, peace being declared the day he regained consciousness. Did I mention he never used a scope, preferring to use iron sights?

No way, I totally heard of them on some Twitch stream, and I kept asking for the song's name in chat but no one had a clue. Now I have to listen to all of their songs to find that tune! Omg, thank you so much. On the side note, I'm not very much a history guy but after this maybe I will haha.

When people think about metal, most of them don't think about power metal. Oh well. Anyway, if you're into that kind of metal too, my current favorites are:

DragonForce - Our Final Stand (this isn't on youtube, so no link, but it has to be on the internet somewhere)
DragonForce - Curse of Darkness
Nightwish - For the Heart I Once Had
Nightwish - Escapist
DragonForce - Hatred and Revenge

Haha I have only heard Through Fire and Flame by DragonForce because of how impressive the solo is. They seem to be a really technical band based on the songs you suggested.

Nightwish is interesting, this is like... Orchestra Metal? Super dope tho! Thank you!

Sorry for being off-topic, but I checked your profile and saw you 100%-d Deponia, but don't have any of its sequels. If you want to play the second game, add me on Steam and I'll send you a key ;)

I like your profile pic, A7X is truly impressive with their diversity in music. Lamb of God is my new found love!
No words and My Fate by the two latter bands are crazily good, I will check out their stuff some more.
Deftones, on the other hand, is not really for me tho.

Thank you for these great suggestions!

Hard Rock/Metal? I love it (as you see in my avatar hahaha). Nowadays I'm not in so hard rock, but I can suggest some!

This is from my favorite drummer (also father of a friend of mine, Aquiles is a great person):

Well, I think the artists, whether good or bad in people's eyes, all work really hard for their music. And ultimately, we are the ones who get to enjoy the products. So nothing to complain here :^)

My friends are fans of most of the bands that you mentioned, so I kinda had a taste for them at one point or another. The one that appeals to me the most must be Believe by Normandie. It really stands out with the immersive sound the song created!

I will add all the artists that haven't been mentioned yet to the list! Thank you so much :^)

I am not into Metal but can have a few exceptions. Let's go back to the birth of the Hard when it was called Heavy Blues.
The Beatles - Helter Skelter
Led Zepplin - Whole Lotta Love
The Stooges - 1970

How can I say no to some good vibe songs like these? Led Zeppelin is my dad's favourite so I grew up listening to them :^)
What got my attention was Helter Skelter, I have no clue that they had heavier tracks like these. Amazing!

Helmet's riff is crazy! I really dig it (see what I did there)!
with Lamb of God and The Melvins being my new favourites. Good choices Tzaar!

And pretty sweet gigs you got there! How much is that Ibanez? It seems like the S420. Do you recommend her? I have never had an electric guitar to even ask this question :p ;_;

  5. Not very my cup of (metal) tea
