The endless search...so depressing...I know there are new bands out there making good heavy music...why can't I find them?

You're looking in the wrong places, a blackheart will find the beauty in darkness

Lots of good metal around, maybe it's just your interpretation of metal that isn't readily available. What kind of bands/metal are you into? I'll try to help.

Liquid Metal on SiriusXM is my go-to for new metal bands.

You are probably right...I may not know what metal is anymore...I like Pantera, LoG style music, as I love groove metal...it could be that I just like hard rock, but I think most metalheads would still consider Pantera and LoG metal, except for maybe Clint (he's into a whole different game)...the problem I've always had when trying to find new bands is this: I actually like a bit of melody from the singer...doesn't have to be all clean vocals, or even mostly clean, but I do like SOME clean vocals...Demon Hunter comes to mind...anyway, now that you know, throw me a bone...

ETA: Okay I just checked out THC and I like it...which album would you guys recommend I digest first? Preferably their heaviest...

I usually look up a band I like on Spotify and then go to "related artists". Then just go down the rabbit hole....

plenty of new metal and i would also tell you to check out some hardcore as well. Turnstile is a great newer hardcore band ( have been around for 7-8 yrs in the underground scene but now becoming more well known)...also check out Harms Way
their lead singer is a monster ( steroids) ....

Lately i've been trying to get into some metal. In the past the screaming/growling I just couldn't get into it. But after seeing several Gojira recs, I now love several Gojira songs. I have to digest the songs for a bit, but they have grown on me.

All that to say I'm following this thread to see if I can find some more metal bands i like.

Gojira has grown on me. I now love them. Can’t wait to see them next year.

Check out Goatwhore from New Orleans

I agree. They are badass. I wish they would put out another album. One more tour because I've never got to see them.

Sylosis reminds me of Pro-Pain somewhat

Love Pro-Pain. One of the best metal bands from the 1990's.
