Top 10 Metal Bands | Biggest Influences As A Musician
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- Here are my top 10 biggest influences/metal bands for me. These artists are responsible for really inspiring and pushing me to keep that passion and love for playing music alive throughout all of these years of playing guitar. Metallica had to duke it out with both Slayer and Sepultura as far as my gateway to entering the really harsh and heavier music, which this list is mostly comprised of. In the end, Slayer and Sepultura ended up having bigger ammo for this top 10 list...BUT Metallica had and still does play a big role in this whole extreme metal pie!!! I hope you guys like this one, and be sure to check out some of the bands in this video if you are unfamiliar with some of them. They are very well worth your time!
Also, go check out my uncle Frank's RUclips channel:

Thank you guys so much!!!
Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane
i aprove of this
Vic Fame Dissection owns
Insanely great album
Most influential for me was one album: Imperial Doom by Monstrosity. Some of the best riffs, drumming and bass playing ever. And George Fisher tied it up nicely on vocals.
I've always wanted to play in a Death Metal band, but for some reason always end up in Thrash bands that went nowhere. We did get to open a show for Motorhead at the Ventura Theatre in Ventura, CA years ago as Kaptin Krunch. Yes, that was the band name. Highlight of my bass playing career.
Just to let you all know, playing in a band is not easy and takes a shit ton of work and dedication from every single member in the band. And if you are able to get signed, record and tour, it takes even more work to keep everything going. The bands I was in had issues with members trying to be rock stars before we even made a name for ourselves. My drummer and I were the only ones putting in the hard work sadly. And we are starting a new band in our 40s, for fun, just to play locally.
Yup no doubt. I’m 48 and still playing in 2 bands. 😄 I do it because I love it
The band that I didn’t create that I wish I did is Revocation. Megadeth, Cannibal Corpse, Fear Factory, Slayer, Sepultura, Meshuggah, Testament, Carcass, and Napalm Death are up there. Megadeth is my fav
Revocation is the best band in the last 10 years solid imo
CrebleStar I couldn’t agree more. David Davidson in my opinion is the best lead player in the last 10 years in my opinion. I wish I wrote those solos.
dude, another band for your list - Nile! They're Lethal!!!
That. Band. Is. Fucking. AMAZING.
He made a video about this band
Fuckl yea
My biggest influences that changed my life were Megadeth, Death, Desultory, Iron Maiden, Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, At the gates, Soilwork, Necrophobic, Dimmu Borgir, Emperor and Deicide. These bands influenced me super heavy. My sound pulls bits from all of these bands. Worth noting is that I’m 38 so, when I started listening to these groups it was early 90’s so the most influential to me was the earlier stuff.
My top 10 most infuential bands are in no particular order:
Decapitated
Death
Pantera
Obscura
Vader
Behemoth
Dissection
Metallica
Sabaton
Slayer
Although this isn't accurate there are so many bands that influenced me and my style of playing that it can't be narrowed down to 10 but these are the bands that I think influenced me the most...
Post Mortem
Bathory
Death
Dissection
Sabaton
Immortal
Iron Maiden
Gojira
Nile
Venom
Manowar
Dead infection,grave,abhorer,suffocation,dying fetus,deeds of flesh,pathogy(holland),winter,rigor sardonicous,krisiun
Megadeth?
No Lamb or God?
Deicide - Scars of the Crucifix. Love playing that song on guitar. I'm trying to get the solo up to speed. All sweep picking arpeggios with the solo. Insane. The rhythm part is awesome too but I got that down pretty quick.
I know you put emphasis on down picking with fast rhythms. I'm trying do the same for certain parts of that rhythm. You actually inspired me to strengthen my fast down picking.
for me its (in any particular order as well)
-Sepultura ( Max Cavalera era)
-Suffocation
-Skychurch (local band)
-Sinister
-Slayer
-Cannibal Corpse
-Decapitated
-Vomit Remnants
--Behemoth (blackened death albums)
-Mayhem (particularly Blasphemer's guitar work)
Vomit Remnants was the first slam band that i ever heard. They are killers
@@cassiusgaio9524 Same! I was like, japan had death metal? (I was into entry level death metal at that time) plays My Blessed Sickness and Prodigy Of Solitude fro a bootleg CD I've "borrowed" and Said "What is this ridiculously heavy bouncy shit?!!" fuckin loved it ever since. My gateway band to Suffocation etc.
New to the channel but i love it! Respect! Love what you said about FF man! just to name a few Sepultura, Decapitated, Type O, whole NYHC, SYL, Meshuggah, Crowbar.
SYL rules as does Devin Townsend
@@josearriaga1227 Hell Yeah!
My introduction into Metal was watching my best friends brother and uncle play in their band at 15 drinking beer and hearing the opening riff to seek and destroy from Metallica. From there on I was hooked.
Thanks. I knew just the most famous bands. Gonna check the others.
Mine are:
Slayer
Slipknot
Marduk
Cannibal Corpse
Death
Septic Flesh

Half of those bands wouldn’t exist without Metallica
Nice Topic! For me, the main influences are Metallica, Suffocation, Fear Factory. But there are so much more: D.R.I., Napalm Death, Kataklysm, Dimmu Borgir, Obituary, Carcass, etc. I notice that your oncle Franck is left-handed. Greetings from Montréal!
ur videos of just talking are very good for my mornings, i wake up at 4;30am for work and in the first 30 minutes, i can just listen to one of ur videos and learn more about metal in general, so dont think theese videos are worthless, it does help someone out there \m/
Nice DEEDS OF FLESH shirt, LOVE THAT BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know I’ll get shit for this, but I’m a little older and I grew up in the 80’s... James Hetfield made me the guitar player that I am. Plus SLAYER of course...As far as death metal goes, the Hoffman brothers of Deicide, plus, old school hardcore. Sick of it All, Iron Cross, DRI, Minor Threat... That’s the the tip of the iceberg though. Kevin, LOVE you videos brother
Greetings from South America, Kevin! When I heard you say "eternal suffering" I thought you said "Internal Suffering" which is a band from my country. Give a listen to that, Choronzonic force domination or anything. Definitely would check eternal suffering as well. For my influences, totally share your taste, also some Devourment, Wormed, Necrophagist, Beheaded, Cephalic Carnage, old school death metal, Demilich, Brutality, Sentenced (when they played death metal), Purtenance, Purulent, Masacre (which are also from here, my country), Death... Pestilence, well... The lists goes on and on... keep it up! You're great! Cheers.
Mate have you heard Defeated sanity? Chapters of repungance is an absolute brutal record.
the most brootal
Yeah I think all of there albums are pretty fucking insane.
+1 to this
+1
Pretty difficult for me but if I had to pick 10 it would be (as far as influence):
Metallica
Testament
Exodus
Sodom
Iced Earth
Death
Morbid Angel
Slayer
Black Sabbath
Motorhead
(Honorable mentions Bathory, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Kreator, Megadeth, Deicide and many others)
And Sepultura?
@@marcosfernandezmartinez5284 Oh absolutely. Especially the early period up till Chaos AD but I do like Machine Messiah and Quadra.
@@pop000690 And Beneath the Remains and Arise too.
Awesome taste bro! Especially Testament and Morbid Angel!
Kevin please give Vektor a listen! Listen to Outer Isolation or Terminal Redux by Vektor its blackened space thrash metal its absolutely ripping so fast. They tune up to F standard which is badass, the vocalist/guitarist David DiSanto is a musical genius writes mostly all of the riffs and has ridiculous vocals haha. They have their own space/sci fi aggressive sound, riff after riff so influential to me, I wish more people knew about them. Thanks for the videos man!
@@Shelnovid once you listen to Vektor its hard to go back to other stuff haha non stop listening for a long time now. Their sound hits a sweet spot for me.
@@Shelnovid I just listen and think "oh yea thats how you write metal/thrash thats a fucking riff" lol
God I can't think of a band that has three damn near perfect records
Except for vektor
Cannibal makes me wanna play bass tbh, you hear some of the simpler sounding stuff be more complex than it sounds and vice versa. Shits next level
Severed Savior here. Good list bro!
Can’t believe I never saw this video of yours until now now Kevin. Cool list, damn it’s hard to pick 10 there’s so many Metal bands and albums that influenced me even if it’s subconsciously that I or we don’t think about. If I had to try it would be:
Metallica
Megadeth
Slayer
Nine Inch Nails
TOOL
Black Sabbath
System Of A Down
Deftones
Sepultura
DEATH
a big thank you for all your videos I have been from the beginning I am one of your biggest fans.🤘🤘🤘
Absolutely sensational great video :)
Just checked out eternal suffering, and it's sick! Thanks for leading them to me!
I’m a young and novice player, so I don’t really have too much in the way of influences since I don’t write nor do I plan to at this point.
But the writing of Alex Webster is what drives me to keep playing. It’s not the hardest thing in the world, but the brutality and dump truck heavy riffs just compel me to listen and want more. Pat O’Brien’s writings are fucking killer too, but they just don’t have the same feel that I love about Alex’s. But to be frank, aside from those two, I feel no desire to derive creativity from the writings of anyone else. Hopefully that changes and updates with time.
Hey Kevin, my favourite inspirational bands are
Slayer
Fastkill
Destruction
Dark Angel
Morbid Saint
Sadus
Deicide
Fear Factory
Metallica
Nuclear Assault
Sepultura
Insect Warefare
Fleshgod Apocalypse
Wintersun
Sepultura - Morbid Visions/ Bestial Devastation (the first extreme metal album I bought from a second hand store in 1999).
Deicide - Once Upon the Cross
Deeds of Flesh - Trading pieces
Slayer - Reign in Blood
Morbid Angel - Domination
Nile - Black Seeds of Vengeance
Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse
Dimmu Borgir - Spiritual Black Dimensions
Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane
Cradle of Filth - Midian
Those are some of the more influential albums that got me into extreme metal. I've always liked a cross between Death and Black metal from the onset and was lucky enough to meet a dude in 2001 that had a massive collection of cds, all the cannibal corpse albums, deicide, deeds of flesh, mortician, exhumed, dimmu, emperor, rotting christ, etc. I'd have to confer with him to jot my memory (as they were mostly his cds) as to everything we were jamming back then. I got into a whole ton of stuff on my own though like Swedish death metal, melodic death metal, 90s death metal like Death, Atheist, Cynic, Unleashed etc. I'm too much a fan of extreme music to like just one genre and being a guitarist, I take influence from everything.
Please give INQUITY a listen. GREAT band from Denmark.
Metal albums that changed my life: Bathory's Blood Fire Death, Suffocation's Effigy Of The Forgotten, Entombed's Clandestine, Bolt Thrower's IVth Crusade and For Victory and Metallica's Master Of Puppets. But the song at the root of it all, the song that not only got me into 'heavy' music at age 11 but was also the reason why I started playing bass at age 13 was Led Zeppelin's Heartbreaker. That song, of all the events in my life, had the most profound effect on me and forever changed my course. Even today, 31 years later, whenever I hear John Paul Jones thundering away it immediately takes me back to singular moment. Over the next few months Led Zeppelin became ACDC became Metallica became Bathory became Entombed... and I knew I had been called. Called to metal \m/ Hail.
My top 10 influences as a player (in no particular order) would have to be Slayer, Exodus, Kreator, Destruction, Morbid Angel, Vader, Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, Death, and Possessed. Old school Thrash and Death for the win! Honorable mentions would be Metallica, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Mercyful Fate/King Diamond, and Sepultura. Andy Laroque from King Diamond and Death for one album is my all time favorite Metal player though.
Suffocation, Cannibal Corpse, Death, Dying Fetus, Vital Remains, Necrophagist, Devourment, Cephalotripsy, Defeated Sanity and Nile.
Have you checked out the album/compilation Nihilist-Nihilist (pre-Entombed/Unleashed). There is some great raw and brutal Swedish death metal on that album.
Played many shows with eternal suffering knew those cats well back in the day!
That origin album is something completely different. That album is just so far beyond where any other band is. That's an album you put on and have to rewind every thirty seconds to hear again how amazing the last part of the song was. Just for the song portal alone that album is near untouchable.
Autopsy for me personally are the band that got me into Death Metal and probably the only Death Metal band that I listen to, as the production isn't super clean so it's more interesting 👌
Damn. Your uncle Frank is badass.
Slayer by far for me. Once I started learning some of their riffs, I fell in love with Hanneman's and King's styles.
Cannibal Corpse: The main riff before the vocals kick in on "I Cum Blood". Heavy as fuck. And their performance in Moscow. The history of the band, and their commitment to Death Metal for almost 30 years.
Metallica: that's a given
Sepultura: standard tuning and the incredible riffing on Arise? Hard to not be inspired.
And lately, Devastation. "Idolatry" is a masterpiece. Brilliant lyrics, jaw dropping solos, memorable and head banging riffs. It's like Reign In Blood; once it ends, you just want to start it all over again.
My influence is not in order
Malevolent creation
Ripping corpse
Motörhead
Immolation
Pestilence (mainly consuming impulse)
Death (mainly leprosy)
Suffocation
Kreator
Dark angel
Morbid Saint
Morbid Angel
Sepultura, é nóis
You should definitely do some Mortician covers Kev. It would go great with your guitars tuned to G :)
Obsolete still one of my favorites!
Nice choices. What about November's Doom or Swallow the Sun? What about Hinayana?
SLAYER 💀🤘

I totally agree about the slam shit, hare to believe Suffocation inspired a bunch of that stuff. Terrance Hobbs makes way better riffs today than most bands.
Would love to hear your thoughts on doom metal. Are there any bands in that style that you like?

I still like to shred Suit and Tie Guy/Dead in a Ditch once in a while.
