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!".

Insense deserves to be on Metal Storm because they are not much known outside of norway. Insense is a fantastic bands and should be heard by so many others than just norwegians that are interested in that kind of music.
The vocalist/guitarist Tommy Hjelm also plays with Benea Reach sometimes |

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.

Kudos for un-blacklisting them! Let's open our minds!
They play live in metal festivals, have members from other metal bands in Japan (check the bio of their band members), and, on top of all, are actually a pretty decent group.
03.11.2014 - Ruchesko
They were un-blacklisted? Kudos, MS. - The touring band don't lack metal cred either - guitarist #1 tours with Marty Friedman and guitarist #2 is Galneryus's ex-bassist |

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".

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.

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) |

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). |

They are pretty good and are also very talented musicians. Their last album The Luster of Pandemonium was quite popular in the death metal community |
|
01.12.2010 - Godofshadows
Why not?
Ok, just kidding... Because they're a very good band (with some growl, the -core style) and they have 2 CDs and one EP, and at least one of them(The unveiling - that's the name of the CD) have many good songs that I think would be great to let the other metal-fans here to know, at least those who listen to the -core-genre.
Anything else you need to know why they should be here? |

Young band from Germany, members are 18-20, they play metal inbetween Gothenburg and modern harsh Melodeath. Sounds like a mixture of At The Gates, Dark Tranquillity, Norther, Kalmah, a bit Kataklysm and a bit CoB... something around there lol.
First demo will be released in January, check them out, really cool! |

Floodline is a very interesting Progressive Metal band who has released two albums, Passage To Dawn and Beneath The Waves, the latter showing a huge improvement over the former, in terms of production and diversity.
The guitar work is particularly varied and should appeal to melo prog lovers as well as to fans of more extreme stuff. Drumming is also neat with a great double-bass. Vocals are ok though not great, shifting back and forth between clean and harsh vocals.
One of the most promising Progressive Metal band who definitely needs to be featured on Metal Storm to get the exposure they deserve. |

Dunderbeist should be on Metal Storm because their style is fun, heavy, innovative (reminds me of Diablo Swing Orchestra at times) and they've released three full length albums (the last one being their heaviest). It's a musical treat that I believe many here on MS will appreciate. Not conviced? Give the following song a listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPOKCMfKU-g

I think they really deserve to be here. They are young and ambicious and I hope they will become famous, they have everything what it takes. Ive just ordered their only album called Monument and it instatnly became one of my favourite Melodic Death Metal albums all the time. They have keyboards which overally gives them very good atmosphere. If you want fast melodic metal with insane deep and high pitched growls over fast drums, then check them out as soon as possible ! |

Galderia is a young, promising band from Marseille, France. They play a unique style of Melodic Power Metal, as it's never been heard before. They definitely are a enrichment for the whole "metal scene". Appearing on this site could possibly make them a little better known. Galderia have the potential to be the next Gamma Ray or Stratovarius, because their melodies are very various and captivating. Their technical skills on the instruments are great, and you can recognize that by the quality of their music. I think, some more people should be able to enjoy this great young band, and that's why I consider it as important for this band to appear on MetalStorm.net. |

EL METAL EN SU MAXIMA EXPRESION
Desde 1994, año en que se formó la banda, Sauron se ha presentado en vivo junto a las más importantes bandas locales. Malón, Almafuerte, Horcas son apenas algunas para nombrar.
Dos de los cuatro temas que registraron en un primer casete independiente se incluyeron en el primer disco de Sauron, editado por DBN.
La participación de Sauron en las dos últimas ediciones del Metal Rock Festival, las presentaciones junto a los artistas internacionales Moonspel, Mercyful Fate y Glenn Hughes la afirman como una de las bandas más importantes y representativas del metal argentino.
Con su estética salvaje y un sonido de inspiración en los setentas, el grupo realizó su presentación del disco el pasado 20 de noviembre en el teatro Coliseo, junto a Walter Giardino Temple, en la segunda visita de Glenn Hughes. |

23.11.2010 - FARThagoth
Because it's the band that have been active since 1988 and still are. New album is about to come soon.
In 1995, Puya released their eponymous debut album under the Noiz Boiz label. There they also met producer Gustavo Santaolalla who signed them to MCA and in 1999 released their second album, Fundamental, which received critical praise.
This propelled the band to stardom even landing them in the second stage of Ozzfest where they shared the opening slot with Slipknot in 1999. In 2000, their song "Tírale" was included in the soundtrack of the movie Heavy Metal 2000, and was the collection's only track with Spanish lyrics. The band opened for Sepultura, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pantera and KISS.
If that is not enough than i don't know what is! |

I changed Synergy (Sinergy, already on MS) to this Spanish thrash band. Formed over 10 years ago, and has released three or four albums. A while ago I dled their "Fucking Dawn of the Dead" it wasn't bad, quite catchy in fact, it's in my head now without hearing it for months or maybe even years. I think the album with that song also included guest spots by many famous metal musicians |

22.11.2010 - Viltharis
It should be on Metal Storm, because this band is getting more and more popular especially among metal fans in Eastern Europe. It supported Sabaton in Minsk (not sure, but informations on their website says so). Maybe they are young, but I think they are worth to be on Metal Storm.

This guy is responsible for Guilty Gear, BlazBlue and their OSTs. They're not the best songs in the world; actually pretty mediocre. Some of them are very nice, though. I would recommend "Feel A Fear", "Writhe In Pain", "Burly Heart", "The Midnight Carnival" and, of course, "Awe Of She", all of them from the soundtrack to Guilty Gear X2.
I think I should have added "South Africa" instead of "Japan", though. |

The band came into existence during the year 2001. During that time this metal band was called The Chliew and the first members were Bebo: guitar, Lukas: vocal, Hoyas: drums and Marek: vocal. The band in this formation played at the few concerts but never issued own record. After the period of time The Chliew lost one member. Marek left from the band and three rest members still made the new songs.
