It has been stated many times that we're not about to feature every single metal band that has ever existed. Usually we only add already accomplished bands with at least one full-length release. Still, many bands escape our attention, so it's up to you to tell us which of them are the most worthy of being featured on Metal Storm.
Bands listed here are suggested for addition by our users. You can vote for these bands as well as provide additional comments - both of which will be taken into account when we look for the next band to feature on Metal Storm. If the band is not in the list, you can suggest it here (you need to be a registered member).
Make sure you also check the Blacklisted bands - these are the bands we're not going to add at all, since we feel they won't be appropriate for this website. Yes, some non-metal bands are already featured here, but that's not the reason to add a lot more - so we don't accept arguments like "hey, this band is way more metal than band X you have featured!".

Imtholiel is a new band and they are working on their single and album in these days. Their songs are mainly about fantasy worlds and stories with power metal sound and female vocals. Their single will be available soon and they have covers from different styles on their sites. |

Hevisaurus is a band for children, created by Mirka Rantanen (ThunderStone). His aim is to bring hard rock music to the younger, by playing basic riffs and singing lyrics which attract children (Jurassic, hell yeah) to make them enjoy metal and hard rock. It's a funny band and I think it deserves to be in Metal Storm.
15.09.2010 - Meller
No. Fucking. Way. Period. I hope this clever crap from marketing people ironically called as a band dies a swift and justified death. If needed to promote heavy metal for kids, give 'em the real thing.

Hevisaurus are the proof that FInnish kids are the future!
They are the ONLY Heavy Metal band which actually plays metal for kids to enjoy.
Not surprising, they sound pretty nice.

Corelia are a burgeoning progressive/technical metal band with a single EP under their belts. With a sound not unlike Protest the Hero and The Human Abstract, they've come across some especially interesting ideas along the way, with a stunning selection of songs, to boot. 'Nostalgia' was released in 2011, and I've been listening ever since. Highly recommended.

Sincarnate delivers a death metal vibe but with an added mix of melodic attitude that progresses every so often it makes the music quality sound that more realistic. Sincarnate's choice of style is rather typical but they manage to pull off some unusual skills that make their music stand out above all the rest. Strong, floating guitar melodies, helped by equally interesting, ethnically influenced at times, keyboards, inventive drumming and a vocalist who's able to find the right approach for what the music calls for in the given moment. All doomsters are encouraged to support this fresh sounding band, the scene needs such acts for a proof that when ambition meets up with work coming directly from the heart the end result can be nothing else but a really captivating listening experience. So this goes into saying that, Sincarnate surely has what it takes to get the ball rolling music-wise but will continue to establish it altogether piece by piece.
Sincarnate is a very important presence on the romanian (death) metal scene, with many live appearances and fans outside and inside borders, with an EP and a 2010 opus that was very well received by all those whom have listen to it. More infos and music on official website and myspace page:

Info in English here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Suaves
They should be here as Spain is a kind of important country as regards metal fans and this band is together with another 4 or 5 the most famous hard rock and rock band in the territory. Above all from Madrid northwards. They only reason why outsiders don't know them is the fact that they sing in Spanish. Otherwise, they would be popular enough for you.
Their music style is quite similar to The Ramones, Motorhead...The voice is let's say "peculiar". They are still active after 28 years and still selling out venues.
Their website appears to be in maintenance now. |

Helker is a solid band of Heavy Metal Power formed in 1998 with three studio albums, the most important (in my opinion) is "Resistir" with lyrics that talk about Social Denounce, everyday things of life, etc.. Helker gains experience playing in concerts with outstanding international bands as Hammerfall, Rhapsody, Paul Di 'Anno, Stratovarius, Gamma Ray, Primal Fear, Shaman and Masterplan.
03.06.2013 - Nimlot
+1 As Power Metal goes, Helker are great. They've put out 4 albums so far with guest vocals with Tim "the Ripper" Owens (ex-Judas Priest; ex-Iced Earth) and Ralph Scheepers (Primal Fear) on their latest release. They are still going strong and should have a place in MetalStorm.

Caligula's Horse started life as a solo project for Quandary guitarist Sam Vallen to express the heavier side of his musical personality. The project started in early 2010 while Quandary was on a writing hiatus whilst recording their debut album Ready To Fail. Sam began writing music without the context of Quandary's musical framework to guide him; delving into music that was heavier and more guitar centric, with an emphasis on studio production and layering. The music took an intentionally modern form, incorporating influences as diverse as Frost*, Steely Dan, Meshuggah, Devin Townsend and Porcupine Tree.

We are a young band trying to get our name out there and believe this site is a great tool to help with that. We are a true metal band, not that nu-metal or radio friendly junk. We all grew up listening to bands like Pantera, Slayer, Iced Earth, Testament, Kataklysm, Amon Amarth, etc and strive to bring back the old school heavy metal. We hope to record a demo this year and any press, good or bad, would be greatly appreciated. |

In the Autumn of 2008, CHAOS IN PARADISE started taking their first steps in a small garage in Oporto suburbs, where Alex and Quik began to outline the identity of the band.
After a few days, they started searching for other musicians to complete CHAOS IN PARADISE and after a while they found Pedro for guitar, 19 for bass and Sara for the vocal parts.
With the band as a whole, the quintet began writing their first Demo which came out in February 2010, including the songs "Dawn", "Heading North", "The Meaning of Being Imposed" and "Antagonized".
The band recorded the Demo at their own studio and released and distributed the four songs online for free!
After, CHAOS IN PARADISE began their live shows through Portugal, to promote their work and also to obtain experience as a band.
In the beginning of 2011, the band returned to the rehearsal room to start writing their following work, trying a new aproach to improve their sound, bringing their own identity to it and making it more coherent.
With the pre-production on the bagage, the recording sessions of the EP started in March 2011 at Soundvision Studios in Vila do Conde with Paulo Lopes in the co-production.
From the EP entitled "Let the Bliss Remain" the band released their first single "Awareness" to the fans and press, aquiring unanimous opinions expressing that their evolution and sound quality had a huge improvement.
With the "Let the Bliss Remain" presentation and release in June 2011, CHAOS IN PARADISE came back to the road to promote their EP in Portugal, having already some International shows in mind.
At the moment, they're planning to edit their first album in 2012. |

As a website dedicated to metal it is our job to acknowledge specific events in the genres history. You may or may not know Metallica is accused of stealing the riff of their most famous song (Enter Sandman) from the Excel song "Tapping into the emotional void". Dave Mustaine pointed it out years ago and numerous videos on youtube are dedicated to the topic. Wether or not it riff was stolen the controversy around the most successful metal band and their most famous song should be enough to put this band on metalstorm. If that doesn't provide enough evidence this band is comparable to "Municipal Waste" and "Suicidal Tendencies." Thanks for your time.

It should be added straight away and not because of Emotional Void... |

The band features 3 members from Isis, another post metal band already on MS, and the vocalist of Deftones.
It is more post-like than Isis and not quite as heavy, but it definitely deserves a place on MS, as it is reminiscent of bands like AtomA.
I believe that a lot of fans of bands like Isis, AtomA, Enshine, Aoria and other bands in that vein of music will greatly appreciate this band.

Hailing from Manila Philippines, Resurrected, is one of the legendary thrash metal bands who are dominating the Philippine Metal Scene up to this date.
They have played and shared the stage with several foreign underground hardcore punk bands like Truth of Arise, Peaceful Protest, All You Can Eat, Code13, Himza, and War All The Time.
Resurrected performed at the 2007 Fette dela Musique, an annual French music festival in Malate, Manila, with 2,000 in attendance. The thrashing quartet have also opened for Korea's finest thrash metal band, Mahatma, at Ten02 Bar in April 2008. Mahatma have come to hail them as the Philippines' finest thrash metal band, as evidenced on the May 2008 issue of Pulp Magazine. Resurrected's Fin and drummer Resty Maddela unleashed their killer guitar riffs and masterful skin-pounding skills respectively, as guest musicians for the Hollywood, California-based rock band Rex, with a neck-breaking performance at the Pulp Summerslam 8 at the Amoranto Stadium, in April 2008. Over 30,000 people experienced having their asses being kicked, and then some.
Resurrected performed at the 2008 Asian Solidification Tour with Japanese extreme metalbands Defiled and Hydrophobia in October, at the Center for Arts, Quezon City. Over 200 people attended the said event. Resurrected later celebrated their 15th anniversary, through a special metalheads episode that was aired on November 2008 over MYX. Fin and the boys have recently been tapped to open for the US retro-thrashers Warbringer last May 2010, as well as being one of the local support bands for international acts The Vaine from Australia and Assault from Singapore in early March this year.
Resurrected is currently hard at work in the studio, meticulously writing songs for the sophomore follow-up to their "Past Scars Aria" full-length debut. |

But itʼs this summerʼs Mayhem Festival that will be the biggest proving ground yet for THROWN INTO EXILE, as they were able to win the "Road to Mayhem" competition over dozens of other bands to secure a slot performing on the same bill as Slipknot, Motorhead, Anthrax, and Slayer... a dream come true for all five of these hard-working bandmates. |

Earthless have been around for quite some time, I got turned on to them around 2006. Their style of nearly no vocals and lengthy instrumental jams I think would fit in nicely here. The are great timing and dynamic changes throughout their music, but some of the tunes are literally 20-30 minutes long, so if one isn't into lengthy, soaring up and down kind of close-your-eyes-and-flow with it for that long, one won't be very into those tunes. Very heavy guitar sound, their guitarist Isaiah Mitchell uses great fuzztone and other effects to advantage! I thank the great Staff here at MS for any consideration they have or may have already had with this suggestion. Excellent site, folks, wish I had discovered it [i]much[/i] soooner. Thanks again - rock on!

Biography
UNSCARRED is a powerful pounding-groove machine, Wild and crazy "Thrash metal" band formed in 2002 in France, Paris. The story began when Brice/Bassist, started to think of forming his own Thrash metal band. The lineup knew many bustles but stabilized itself at the beginning of 2006 with Boris/ Lead Guitar, and 2008 Niko/Rhythm Guitar. Nelly, Iranian metal singer, joins the band in 2012 as vocal and Franck joined the band recently in January 2013 as drummer.
The band already had some great experiences of scene in France. Now with this new crazy lineup and an insane new "stage addiction", all members are in, to show the power and the magic this kind of music represent to them on any stages all around the world!!
Their first Ep, mix of anger, power, energy, aggression, weight, harmony and emotion, gonna be out, at the end of January 2013.
