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!".

It has been a while since being really blown away from a new discovery.
ProFusion is a bit hard to categorize, combining Progressive Metal riffs, Eclectic stuff a la Beardfish, and catchiness like, well... It just gets stuck in your mind and won't go away.
I've yet to have listened to their first album, but their second one (Rewotower) has really blown me away.
The first song of the album (Ghost House) is available on their Reverbnation page.

It's kinda rare to see a band with old influences nowadays. And, to be honest, I think that what they say about rock'n'roll is true:
"ROCK'N'ROLL IS NOT ABOUT TECHNIQUES AND 32-NOTES-A-SECOND SOLOS, IT'S ABOUT TOUCHING PEOPLE WITH YOUR MUSIC".

The Canadian rock band was popular in the late 1970s through the 1980s. Triumph began building their reputation across North America as a live band, peaking in the early 1980s as an import before interest gradually declined. Today, the power trio continue to receive radio airplay on Classic Rock stations and are perhaps best remembered for their positive message songs and their vibrant energetic concerts, complete with extravagant pyrotechnical light shows. Their popularity was extremely strong in Texas, where they first received strong radio attention; but, they were stellar standouts at California's US Festival, and garnered a considerable fan base and radio attention by regularly touring the world, especially throughout North America and Europe. Like their fellow Canadians Rush and Saga.
04.01.2011 - Marcelb7
If Journey and Rush are on this site, so should Triumph. Rik Emmett is a guitar god!

Adrián Barilari with the keyboardist Hugo Bistolfi, who also left Rata Blanca in 1994, form Alianza, with many musicians sessions, which were the only members permanently was Barilari and Bistolfi. The duo explore ballads sound with more keyboard presence than Rata Blanca. Alianza did not have much impact in Argentina, but in other Latin American countries.They edited three albums Sueños del Mundo (1994), Alianza (1997), and Huellas (1999). |

AraPacis (Ara-Patches) is a female fronted metal band hailing from Montreal, Canada. Formed in 2003 by guitarist Jerry Fielden, their main goal was to re-create some of the orignal aspects of 1970's Hard Rock and Progressive Rock and fuse it together with early 21st Century Progressive, Doom & Gothic Metal to make an interesting metal hybrid. Their debut album ''So Many Leapers'' was released in April of 2006. and their second album ''Consequences Of Dreams'' was released on October 5, 2009. The band is now working on their 3rd album.
22.04.2011 - Jerryfie
AraPacis is more Classic/Prog Metal than Metalcore, AraPacis has shared the stage with The Agonist, Raven and Anvil, amongst other bands.
14.12.2013 - Syk
Not metalcore... somethin' else. Appeared with the closing track on this femme-metal (voices) compilation http://www.metalstorm.net/bands/album.php?album_id=32808 Third album 'Netherworld' released end of 2011 on Ravenheart Music, and 'Déjà-Vu' EP self-released at end of March, this year (now available for free DL from the band's site, along with about six other older songs) (it appears DV EP is 4 re-recordings of older songs - so you can hear So Many Leapers' title-track twice, and find the advances they've made over 7 years) |

More grindcore than your average crusty vegan punks, Electro Hippies included Jeff Walker, who wound up in a fairly unknown band called... Carcass!
They were signed to Peaceville Records (label of Autopsy, Darkthrone, Katatonia, and former label of Opeth, Cradle of Filth). One of their most notorious releases was the split 7" single they did with Napalm Death. Each side lasted almost a second!
03.01.2011 - Meller
Yes!!! Add this up!!! Electro Hippies were great, and I'm dying to get my crusty little fingers on a physical copy of their one and only full-lengt. The world needs a huge dose of Electro Hippies, straight in the face. A definite +1.

It's an awesome underrated band which is unique in terms of voices. Dual female voices and choirs are unique among the similar style bands and they have already released two successful full length albums which makes them a professional band. I am almost sure that featuring the band here will enable band to be checked out and discovered by many other metal fans.

Skilled guitar player, good technique, 3 studio records and a live DVD so far, Gonçalo Pereira plays similar sound to Frank Zappa, Steve Vai or Yngwie Malmsteen. For instrumental guitar records lovers, this guy is a must. Highly recommended!
15.02.2013 - MrClansman1
I must agree with Die Hacker. Technically is really impressive guitarist. He released three full-length albums till now and there are really great works. Even he is not famous at all, I think a lot of people there could appreciate his works (mostly the fans of instrumental solo guitarist such as Satriani, Vai etc.). |

Gave these guys' albums a couple listens, and they're metal as hell. Really good, tight style, good sound quality on the albums, I think they're quite worthy. Only problem I could see is that there are a ton of bands called Stormrider. These guys are the only Power Metal one from what I could find. |

Damn I got their CD today in a store for one euro and was during the first listening like SHIIIIITTTTT...... What a great band!
Unfortunately, "Void Of Malice" from 1999 was their first and only album... They are split up, but the album still is wow! It's like atmospheric Black and Gothic Metal like in the first 2 albums of each Cradle Of Filth and Dimmu Borgir, mixed with Doom.
Im gonna maybe upload songs on youtube so you can see... In any case worth adding to MS!

Because the goal of this band is to make the most twisted industrial metal tracks. The first studio CD APOCALYPTIC DAMNATION was more a kind of experimental CD but are trying to be more agressive in the future. Hektor-Rex does only record tracks in cooporation with Dark Core Records because DCR does take part in this experiment. A band with the inspiration from destruction and death in this world. |

This Chicago-based, female-fronted melodic metal outfit is a band on the rise. Their debut full-length, "It Comes To This", was recorded/mixed/produced by Jason Walsh, known for his work with Manowar, The David Shankle Group and the recent David Ellefson, Tim "Ripper" Owens, Jason Bittner and Tristan Grigsby collaboration, featured on iTunes. They've shared the stage with In This Moment, In Fear & Faith, Motionless In White, Eyes Set To Kill and numerous other national acts and have been included in both Dame-Nation events, an on-going Chicago-based rock event that has attracted the attention of local, regional and national press. Ok, this is really sounding like a press release, which is not what I was going for. They kick ass, they're moving up in the world and they deserve a place on this bad ass site. Check them out, I think you'll really dig what you hear. |

15.12.2010 - LethalLipstick
Lethal Lipstick have reissued their early recordings under the names 'There Goes The Neighborhood' and 'Action'. Both CDs are available for purchase at Reverbnation.com and iTunes.
'There Goes The Neighborhood' was Lethal Lipstick's debut demo cassette, originally released in 1989. The demo got the band signed to a major management company and resulted in a record deal, but the deal went sour when Sony bought CBS records. In late 1989/early 1990 Lethal Lipstick recorded their debut album. Three of the songs from that album were released on a promo CD by the band's management company, who was shopping it for a new record deal, and now the band have released those recordings as 'Action'.
Lethal Lipstick consisted of Nick Grind (vocals), Gary Grafixx (bass), Billy Lixx (drums, replacing Chris Quinn after the release of 'There Goes The Neighborhood') and guitarist Mike Trash who has just released 'Today The Devil, Tomorrow The World' with his new band The Erotics.
Soon Lethal Lipstick will release the other 7 recordings from the album independently under the title 'Wild Child', followed by the release of 'So Ho' featuring 6 songs the band recorded back in 1991. For more information on the band visit www.facebook.com/LethalLipstick and www.reverbnation.com/lethallipstick. |

This is a bit tricky one to convince you guys that it's worth an add-on, since I have no link to point you guys to, but I urge you to seek their stuff out and give it a spin. There's no official site nor even a fan-made Myspace-page available, which I find odd... In any case, Scalplock was something that should've been hailed a the saviours of Grindore. Also oddly, that never happened, in about any scale. Releasing three full-lengths and the same amount of EP's the band is dead and gone, as I believe so is one of their members, which buried Scalplock permanently. This stuff rips walls and throats alike, the way Grind was meant to do. |

This is a very good Slam Death Metal band from Germany who just released their second full-length, bringing them up to 2 demos and 2 full albums. They're about to do their first shows in the U.S., then they're touring the U.K. a little bit, then Germany, The Netherlands and Belgium, then they start the Europsychosis Tour. Here's their schedule, as listed on facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pighead-Official/150469285008034?ref=ts&id=150469285008034&sk=events
Their songwriting is amazing, and Martin's inhaled vocals are quite possibly the best I've ever heard. Here's their Encyclopedia Metallum page:

We are an up and coming metal band from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Our songs have good guitar harmonies , solid double bass and recently added a wicked bassist to our line-up who goes by the name "FastfingersGreen". We feel that the Metal community would be interested in our music and would embrace us with open arms. We have two CD's recorded and are currently working on our third at the present time . Thank you for your time and I hope you let us into the "Metal Storm" world. Cheers for now ...HELLRAZER

A kind of legendary Swedish band I guess. It's the other band of Marco Aro, and their last album is in the direction I felt that Haunted should have went. They were apparently preparing to release an album in 2008, but there haven't been any news of late. Fans of In Flames and Haunted etc. will certainly want to check this band out. |
