The timing of this video is actually perfect for me. After a near death experience recently, I seem to be drawn to metal more than any other genre. I need something to get the aggression out. Thing is, I don't know much about metal aside from the nu-metal stuff I grew up with, but then I recently discovered the Doom soundtrack and instantly became a fan. So now I've got some homework to do, I'll be checking out the artists you mentioned.
Glad this video could be of help! Meshuggah could be pretty intense for a newcomer to metal, so I would recommend some of their instrumental stuff. Their newest album has a long instrumental track called They Move Below. I would recommend starting with that track and maybe their album Nothing, but it really depends on what you like to hear because in my opinion Meshuggah doesn't have a bad album under their belt. Enjoy your exploration.
if you want music that is heavy in both words and instrumentals then check out Architects (especially albums like "All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us" and "Holy Hell")
For pure destruction like doom's soundtrack, I'd recommend Darko US, Meshuggah, Vildhjarta and honestly there is so many bands that'd fit that in the deathcore subgenre that you should just get into that imo.
Great video. Nice points with regard to the influence the soundtrack has already had on movies like Nobody and Malignant.
Thanks, Dan!
This makes me want to listen to metal more
Do it!
Dooms OST is an absolute fireshow. Theres nothing quite like it
Metal scene isn't even stagnating. There was a many of 2010s subgenres like psyche-djent or all of the ironic core-genre renditions that uses the hooks of pop-music, somewhat post-death of newer DT or Orbit Culture; sludge bands that goes full on aesthetics and atmosphere etc. I wouldn't call the music that Mick doing for Doom someting particularly new, not just more sterile, pouncy industrial.
Games had many other good metal OSTs, especially of slashers (DmC,MGR), so i'm not buying that DOOM phenomena, where the most of OST is a aggro-drone-ambient (really not for everyone).
And funny how you call some bands just "gimmicky" ( i assume you think of some djenty artists like Windrunner or Andromida) but when the BMTH have a shitton of money to buy a MG as they producer it's "legit".
For relevance and time, I did not go into the experimentation within the metal genre that happened within the 2010s, but I am aware that experimentation went on. I agree that the metal genre was not entirely stagnant in the 2010s, but to argue that its small innovations were enough to keep it relevant in pop culture is pretty asinine, and that's exactly what my argument was. The bits of experimentation we did get in the 2010s was not enough to keep the genre fresh for the larger public.
I also don't appreciate you putting words into my mouth. I never said that one band was "legit" and another wasn't. Despite calling babymetal gimmicky, I actually like them a lot better than bring me the horizon, and I only used bring me the horizon as an example because, in case you are deaf, I was bringing up examples of how Mick Gordon has influenced the wider scene. Please take a listening comprehension class.
Agreed metal is not stagnating, metalheads are!
@@RandalltheVandal Was it really Mick Gordon that influenced the scene? For sure, some bands make music that sounds like the doom soundtrack, but that was also prominent before Mick started making music for Doom.
