Memes. For metal music.
Don't be an ass and try to keep the gatekeeping and whatnot to a minimum. Memes from all sorts of metal genres and bands are welcome here.

MODERATORS
Tornado of souls had one of the best guitar riffs and best guitar solos of all time, as well as one of the worst most amateurish vocal performances of any song ever
Megadeth
Dream Theater
Limp Bizkit. Never like them. Then I heard some of Wes Borland's side projects. Made it clear that there were really good musicians in the band that could have evolved in interesting directions. But we'll never know because they were held back by Durst's angry drunk trashy frat-boy image and idiotic, juvenile lyrics.
Cradle of Filth
Nymphetamine is the only song I like. For this reason.
Part of the time... Lacuna Coil. Seesaws between wonderful and awful depending who's singing.
Unpopular opinion but King Diamond. That man is a acquired taste. Oh he's real good and Mercyful Fate + KD is full of bangers but to the untrained ear sounds like Elmo sometimes. At least when I first was introduced.
Once my brain got over "it's not Elmo it's falsetto" it got a lot better. Glad I did because Melissa/Them/The Conspiracy are mandatory.
I never could get used to his style
Any Djent band ever
The only djent I like is Destiny Potato/Sordid Pink. Her voice is insane!
Well vocals are non-existant in a lot of djent music lol
Megadeth to a T
You are 100% correct but that's not stopping me from being mad about it
I'm gonna get banned, but System of a down.
Banned, why? You are welcome to your bad, wrong opinions! It tells the rest of us who can be safely ignored. On the contrary, we thank you for your service.
The dude actually blocked me.
Oh, 100% agree. Ironic since he sang the Godzilla cover in King of the Monsters.
Sonata Artica. Don't get me wrong, the story telling in his songs is amazing, but it's very obvious English isn't his first language.
Silencer
Disclaimer: I love Silencer. Don't hate me
I wish there was a Silencer without the vocals. 😂
Faith No More. Although "We Care A lot" popping up in Guardians 3 was one of the few bits I enjoyed.
Anything with that screaming/growling vocal style feels like this to me. I get that it's a specific style and a specific skill to do, but holy fuck does it feel like nails on a chalkboard to my brain.
Dir en grey 😭 My favorite band for more than 20 years but damn if my ears aren't bleeding at times.
Foo fighters
3 Inches Of Blood.
They were still fantastic.
I'd say skeletonwitch solely because their current vocalist is a turd.
Wow I didn't know they were still a band. I saw them open for Cannibal Corpse around the time Breathing the Fire came out and they were rad.
Yeah they were sick back in the day. Then they fired their vocalist and the new guy got pissy when he wasn't as good. I might have trolled him on Facebook for a bit because he was such an asshole. I haven't listened to them since that night when I saw them and he was a huge dick to everyone at the show
Definitely has to be Megadeth without a question. Imagine them with an actual singer and they’d be so insane.
Dream theater is second but only because labrie has had his voice deteriorate so much over the years. His voice on every album up to octavarium was amazing.
Devil Sold His Soul
I said AJJ, wife gave me a dirty look and said Tom Petty...
Oh, well, neither is really metal, but whatever
Sleep Token
IMO, almost the entire Death Metal genre post Death's Spiritual Healing.
Clutch definitely fits.
A7X new album
Unpopular opinion: Iron Maiden. It has taken me quite a while to get used to the vibrato in Dickinson's voice. Still not totally sure I like it.
Dark Tranquillity, the vocals can be some much energetic than they feel now to me.
Scar Symmetry for sure.
Cynic, until you give them a second chance and they change your life.
Hat from the early Gorgoroth days. That shit just makes me laugh.
Gorguts
A lot of people really love Luc Lemay's vocals, and I think they're fine for the most part. It's just that I feel like he strays off the line between "Dark, menacing vocals for uncompromising music" and "Hilarious pained wailing" just a little bit too often.
Inquisition
Dark Angel (Time Does Not Heal)
Mayhem (DMDS)
Equilibrium with their "new" fronter.
