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.

Heavy stoner rock band from The Netherlands, with Spanish vocals. Also, they use winds on the mix, which make them a very original and fresh band.

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.

Very original in sound, especially in the prog realm. They're known to be aimed for fans of The Mars Volta, early Muse and Meshuggah. Prog rock with a blend of metal and pop sensibilities.

A (Anonymous Confederate Ensemble), or originally A (エース), was such a very short-lived band (2010-2014) as it was really unique. The easiest way to describe them is as a non-extreme version of Ne Obliviscaris, but way far more diverse and accessible. Of course they featured a violinist, who was the band's mastermind: he is the one who provided this kind of symphonic approach by the use of choirs, piano and even his own kind of operatic back-up singing (among many other exotic instruments). However, his violin is what set them really apart: its role is the same of a lead guitar — and a very, very busy one, with soloing and lots of arrangements! Given that their guitarist is already a shredder, you can expect lots of interesting interplays between violin & guitar: even piano and bass arpeggios take part in them :) Instead of descriptions, check this bunch: A (エース) - Shiroi Akuma A (エース) - Devil's Voice A (エース) - Sakura A (エース) - Goddess A (エース) - Night Of The Knights A (エース) - Mirror Of Terror A (エース) - Black Butterfly A (エース) - ELEMENTA ALCHEMICA (yep, 40' long!)
