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!".

Not quite a metal band, but seeing that other hard rock or glam bands are featured, I do not see why these guys shouldn't be here. Great White is one of the better bands from that thoroughly commercial movement of the 80s.

It is a symbol of the wisdom in most ancient religions of the world. Raven is a carrier of souls across the River of Eternity and a binding link between the fragile edge of the World of Shadows and the World of the Living. Initially, the Corvus band was created as a melodic symphonic gothic metal project, but in the process of development and quality growth joins itself the best of the different trends and styles of rock. Now Royal Corvus band has created more than thirty Russian and English-language songs. Song's sound is very different: from romantic ballads to hard and progressive rock. And nobody of the listeners will not remain indifferent, because everyone will find something in this music for themselves. All this different musical styles are merged in one unique style - Corvus style. Besides his own works band plays covers of classic rock and pop songs. During its long history Royal Corvus band many times was engaged in various kinds of rock and bike festivals in Kharkov, and outside it. The Royal Corvus band received invitations and performed in support to rock stars as: Master, Sergey Mavrin, Epidemia, Catharsis, and vocalist of the legendary bands Rainbow and Deep Purple - Joe Lynn Turner. April 28, 2012 the Corvus band has presented their debut album - Raven Rising.

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). |

Innate Concept's musical identity is rooted in the Progressive Metal genre - and the word "progression" is to be taken literally. Innate Concept strives to incorporate elements, instruments and ideas normally not found in classic Progressive Metal. The newest album "Sunset In Our Eyes" combines elements from electronica and classical elements into a whole new and unique sound. A multitude of synthesizers create the atmosphere, color and texture, the mighty Taiko drum ensemble delivers power, groove and impact, while the Armenian Duduk conjures up ethereal melodies, adding yet another layer to the rich-bodied symphonic orchestra. A piano and various acoustic guitars are another integral part of melodic storytelling and quite frequently intertwine with other instruments. All of this takes place planted firmly on the foundation of thundering drums, shredding guitars and a nasty, angry bass. Innate Concept's music is challenging, demanding, cunning, powerful, intense, yet so delicate and fragile. Be prepared, for it will demand your full attention - and it will surprise you if you dare a listen. Debut album can be purchased at http://www.innateconcept.com/shop/ |

Grecco combines diffrent styles of metal like, thrash, heavy, progressive, death, tech metal. It´s a diffrent style and it sounds unique. The vocals are clean and growling making all the music sound diffrent from other bands. The production of the album is not the best, but still there´s something about this band that wants you to hear it over and over again!

[Copied from their official site]"There is saying that has and will always be true when it comes to creating music: It takes heart and soul to write persuasive songs. It is not necessarily about a particular style, it is rather that authenticity, passion and power are the essentials for an outstanding band. And these are the ingredients BURDEN use when they create their unique mixture of Rock, Metal, Stoner and Doom. BURDEN was founded by Saint D. (g) and Dave (dr.) and the founding year has been exclusively spent rehearsing and creating songs since BURDEN has never been about snapshots at all. In the course of time and after lots and lots of self-critical songwriting some very intense and authentic tunes emerged. But how to create real smashers onstage whithout a proper band? It took some time to find a suitable and professional line up. Thanks to Thorsten's outstanding vocals, Johnny's tight bass lines and the drive of second guitarist Marcus, BURDEN has turned into a well-rehearsed and hard working band. Needless to say, that the music business soon became aware of the band's qualities. In early 2010, the band started to co-operate with Germany's finest Van/Soulfood. Both parties are happy working together and the first result of their partnership was the 7" "Man of no Account". Needless to say either that this 7" provoked more than astonishing reviews and led to even more astonishing gigs. BURDEN were offered to support SOULFLY and THE HAUNTED on the five German dates of their European tour and the band also shared the stage with legendary STUCK MOJO. All gigs went more than well and BURDEN impressively demonstrated that they're able to reach every audience. No matter which musical style they prefer - true hearted music can break down every boundary.
Autumn 2010 will mark the next big step in the history of BURDEN. "A Hole In The Shell", their long awaited debut album, will be released via Van/Soulfood and a tour is to follow. This autumn is getting stormy and everyone who is dedicated to true hearted music should keep more than an eye on BURDEN!" |

Quality German Black Metal. In 2009 they released a 10 track album, Demonic Inquisition, and are signed with Pestilence Records. For being a newer band, the vocals have an old school harsh Black Metal sound. The drumming is downright ferocious. Despite the rather blunt titles of their song names, and the straight Black Metal style, the songs don't all sound exactly the same. There is a great blend of evil and darkness, there is the anger and the tortured soul. No overly melodic riffs, but there are hints of it. I think it's a good mix of staying true to the genre, and flexing their creativity and skills. And seriously, how fucking awesome is that name. |

I was listening to an internet radio station one day and there was a loading error for the next song and was labeled "undefined". Under the description it said they use "undefined" for this occasion, then went on to say that Undefined is also a Spanish death metal band. So I decided to check them out, and I'm glad I did. Their music is very well structured and performed by pretty talented musicians. However, I'm not too impressed with the vocals, they're not terrible, but not anything amazing. Their first LP "Of Xenoglossy And Saturn" is available from their site as well as their debut EP "Saturnism Unfolds". |

One of Germany's most popular grindcore bands, especially in a live environment due to the high number of covers (check out "Looking for Grindcore" on Youtube!) and parodies in their catalogue, so that they got to play on the likes of Wacken Open Air and Summer Breeze without even being signed to a label. The first two albums had more covers than original material, nowadays they publish about equal amounts of OC and covers.

Moottörin Jyrinä originated as a project of Skou and Halttunen, both employed in daycare centers, with the intention of playing covers of heavy metal classics for children in Finnish. The band released a 13-track demo cassette of translated cover songs in 2004.
In 2007 Moottörin Jyrinä signed a record deal with Spinefarm, and recorded a full-length album of cover songs with the intention of releasing it in 2008. The release did not take place as intended, however, due to copyright problems with some of the original song copyright holders. The album has not so far been released. |
