Band suggestions

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!".

Please note that we do not feature bands that are Nazis, AI-generated, or otherwise unacceptable according to our standards.

I found their cd "Virulent Procreation" at my local record shop. I had never heard of this band before, so I looked them up online and found very little about them. I purchased the cd and enjoyed it. I was somewhat surprised to find that they were not present on this site and decided to suggest for them to be added. Textbook brutal death, nothing special really, but they should definitely be featured on this site.

Underrated Industrial metal/rock band, very similar to bands like Filter, NIN, KMFDM, and Skinny Puppy. I recommend this to fans of any of those bands. Please show this underrated band some love. They may not be the most popular in the industrial sub genres but I think their just as good.

This band is similar to the likes of Powerflo, Prophets Of Rage, and Rage Against The Machine. Their album "Mad Dog American" released in 2000 also had a guest appearence from Rey Oropeza of Downset.

I know this band has split but they have put out some iconic sludge material in the form of their first LP Starvation Of Locusts and even more so with their Guilty Of Sloth demo. I think they deserve a spot on MS for the history alone.
