I'm SognaMetalVreid btw. Too much time has passed that I'm unsure which account I made first, but I must have forgotten the password to one at some point which is why I made the second account.
The reason I'm posting here is to elaborate on a subgenre by subgenre basis and to add a bit of my discovery of bands/genres history.
My first heavy metal band was obviously Maiden, when I was about ten years old in '06. I was obsessed with mostly just them for the next couple years.
Around 08 I started to get into thrash metal with Metallica with the help of Guitar Hero 3.
At about the same time I started getting into power metal with Dragonforce.
At around 2010 at the age of thirteen I started wanting to explore music more, beyond my few obsessions. This lead to checking out more bands in previously stated genres, like Blind Guardian, Slayer, and Megadeth, but at this time I also started getting into melodic death metal with the likes of Children of Bodom, Amon Amarth, and Dethklok.
In 2012 I discovered black metal that I liked through Rock Band. The bands being Rotting Christ and Watain. Around this time I also started exploring a lot more into the genre and discovered my favourite avant-garde metal band: Sigh, as well as folk metal like Ensiferum, and Forefather. Plus death metal like Death, Atheist, and Bolt Thrower.
From 2012 to 2014 I pretty much just expanded my knowledge in areas which I had already had some experience, mostly focusing on folk and black metal. This included Manegarm, Windir, Vreid, Mistur, Absu, Kalmah, Caladan Brood, Gallowbraid, Saor, Aura Noir, Gorgoroth, and Catuvolcus amon others.
In 2014/15 I got into some semi-doom metal bands like the experimental sludge band Terra Tenebrosa, the bands Uaral, and Mourning Mist, and the death/doom band Taphos Nomos, as well as more abrasive death metal like Gorguts and Demilich. I also got into some more experimental metal in the form of Transcending Bizarre?/Hail Spirit Noir. Plus some what I like to call extreme extreme metal, which is a particularly extreme sounding amalgamation of death, black, and doom metal like the bands Mitochondrion and Dodecahedron. I also got into the electronic/industrial black metal bands Samael and Forever Dawn, and delved further into Thy Catafalque's material.
Ever since, I haven't really had a new band for any completely unexplored genre. But I'm open to recommendations.
