Being a metal head isn’t about anything more than liking metal. Plane and simple.
Some will gate keep the genre and judge you for not knowing some obscure Black metal band that only has 100 monthly followers on Bandcamp…..
These people suck! Don’t buy into what they say and let people listen to what ever they want.
Metal is just meant for everyone and can express any emotion. There are no rules… well there is one. Wear as much black as you can. This rule is dangerous though, as throughout your time spent finding band tees your closet will get darker and darker. That’s fine though cause who gives a fuck?
I digress though. Metal is a fun genre of music to dabble in and find new music literally everyday. Just remember to be yourself and do what’s comfortable to you.
If anything I recommend starting with the basic legends of Black Sabbath, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax.
These legends solidified Metal as a genre and made it possible for all of us to enjoy the current state whether we like them or not.
Now if this is still to hard dabble in classic hard rock legends like AC/DC and Led Zeppelin. If you need further rock recommendations I’d watch School of Rock Staring metal/rock legend Jack Black.
Now Go have fun and enjoy some metal! Explore Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, Spotify, Bandcamp, and google. There’s so much music out there to go listen to!
