It has been stated many times that we're not about to feature every single metal band that has ever existed. Usually we only add already accomplished bands with at least one full-length release. Still, many bands escape our attention, so it's up to you to tell us which of them are the most worthy of being featured on Metal Storm.
Bands listed here are suggested for addition by our users. You can vote for these bands as well as provide additional comments - both of which will be taken into account when we look for the next band to feature on Metal Storm. If the band is not in the list, you can suggest it here (you need to be a registered member).
Make sure you also check the Blacklisted bands - these are the bands we're not going to add at all, since we feel they won't be appropriate for this website. Yes, some non-metal bands are already featured here, but that's not the reason to add a lot more - so we don't accept arguments like "hey, this band is way more metal than band X you have featured!".

Insense deserves to be on Metal Storm because they are not much known outside of norway. Insense is a fantastic bands and should be heard by so many others than just norwegians that are interested in that kind of music.
The vocalist/guitarist Tommy Hjelm also plays with Benea Reach sometimes |

It has been a while since being really blown away from a new discovery.
ProFusion is a bit hard to categorize, combining Progressive Metal riffs, Eclectic stuff a la Beardfish, and catchiness like, well... It just gets stuck in your mind and won't go away.
I've yet to have listened to their first album, but their second one (Rewotower) has really blown me away.
The first song of the album (Ghost House) is available on their Reverbnation page.

Kudos for un-blacklisting them! Let's open our minds!
They play live in metal festivals, have members from other metal bands in Japan (check the bio of their band members), and, on top of all, are actually a pretty decent group.
03.11.2014 - Ruchesko
They were un-blacklisted? Kudos, MS. - The touring band don't lack metal cred either - guitarist #1 tours with Marty Friedman and guitarist #2 is Galneryus's ex-bassist

It's kinda rare to see a band with old influences nowadays. And, to be honest, I think that what they say about rock'n'roll is true:
"ROCK'N'ROLL IS NOT ABOUT TECHNIQUES AND 32-NOTES-A-SECOND SOLOS, IT'S ABOUT TOUCHING PEOPLE WITH YOUR MUSIC".

AraPacis (Ara-Patches) is a female fronted metal band hailing from Montreal, Canada. Formed in 2003 by guitarist Jerry Fielden, their main goal was to re-create some of the orignal aspects of 1970's Hard Rock and Progressive Rock and fuse it together with early 21st Century Progressive, Doom & Gothic Metal to make an interesting metal hybrid. Their debut album ''So Many Leapers'' was released in April of 2006. and their second album ''Consequences Of Dreams'' was released on October 5, 2009. The band is now working on their 3rd album.
22.04.2011 - Jerryfie
AraPacis is more Classic/Prog Metal than Metalcore, AraPacis has shared the stage with The Agonist, Raven and Anvil, amongst other bands.

Not metalcore... somethin' else. Appeared with the closing track on this femme-metal (voices) compilation http://www.metalstorm.net/bands/album.php?album_id=32808 Third album 'Netherworld' released end of 2011 on Ravenheart Music, and 'Déjà-Vu' EP self-released at end of March, this year (now available for free DL from the band's site, along with about six other older songs) (it appears DV EP is 4 re-recordings of older songs - so you can hear So Many Leapers' title-track twice, and find the advances they've made over 7 years) |

Blast in your face, drum machine fueled Grindcore, emphasizing on 'core'. Though drummerless, this is not your ordinary 'in your face' hyperblast ANB'ish stuff. The execution may have faults, but they are technical, not in the songwriting. A new album on the way (or recently released, I'm not quite sure of the release date), this is interesting stuff with great attitude and huge balls. |

Straight Reads the Line blends all of my favorite aspects of metal flawlessly. They are energetic, original, and sound great.
The have one full-length album (The Author - 2008), and have toured with metal greats such as Protest the Hero and the Human Abstract, and many other metal/hardcore acts.
I urge you to listen before you judge the hardcore tag. |

Kaarnekorpi are a pagan folk metal band from Finland. All their lyrics are in Finnish and sung with very low growls. They have a few demos out and an EP which was released last year, and since they're still active, there will probably to be more to come. They have some pretty nice guitar riffs, but their keyboard is pretty prominent throughout most of their songs. Their EP "Ukon Mahti" sounds really good, if you want to check them out, the title track or "Ahti" is pretty good. However, that's not to say their demos aren't any good, they're very solid releases definitely worth checking out too. |

This band has being influenced by Teutonic Thrash Metal most notably heard in their sound, by Kreator which is a rather rare occurrence. They have released their first debut full-length album 'Torment' in January this year. The inclusion of this band on MetalStorm will help users rediscover the raw aggression of their further development of early Kreator albums such as Endless Pain and Pleasure to Kill. |

Akerstache is the ultimate manly Glam Metal/Cock Rock band. With songs that are all about love, sexual intercourse and fire of desire what's not to like? With deadly lighting fast guitar and the manliest raspy vocals Akerstache is the contender for the manliest artist of 1985.
01.11.2011 - Kvltness_94
Akerstache is probably the best (and manliest) heavy/speed metal band I've ever heard and it deserves to be known.

Grecco combines diffrent styles of metal like, thrash, heavy, progressive, death, tech metal. It´s a diffrent style and it sounds unique. The vocals are clean and growling making all the music sound diffrent from other bands. The production of the album is not the best, but still there´s something about this band that wants you to hear it over and over again!

[Copied from their official site]"There is saying that has and will always be true when it comes to creating music: It takes heart and soul to write persuasive songs. It is not necessarily about a particular style, it is rather that authenticity, passion and power are the essentials for an outstanding band. And these are the ingredients BURDEN use when they create their unique mixture of Rock, Metal, Stoner and Doom. BURDEN was founded by Saint D. (g) and Dave (dr.) and the founding year has been exclusively spent rehearsing and creating songs since BURDEN has never been about snapshots at all. In the course of time and after lots and lots of self-critical songwriting some very intense and authentic tunes emerged. But how to create real smashers onstage whithout a proper band? It took some time to find a suitable and professional line up. Thanks to Thorsten's outstanding vocals, Johnny's tight bass lines and the drive of second guitarist Marcus, BURDEN has turned into a well-rehearsed and hard working band. Needless to say, that the music business soon became aware of the band's qualities. In early 2010, the band started to co-operate with Germany's finest Van/Soulfood. Both parties are happy working together and the first result of their partnership was the 7" "Man of no Account". Needless to say either that this 7" provoked more than astonishing reviews and led to even more astonishing gigs. BURDEN were offered to support SOULFLY and THE HAUNTED on the five German dates of their European tour and the band also shared the stage with legendary STUCK MOJO. All gigs went more than well and BURDEN impressively demonstrated that they're able to reach every audience. No matter which musical style they prefer - true hearted music can break down every boundary.
Autumn 2010 will mark the next big step in the history of BURDEN. "A Hole In The Shell", their long awaited debut album, will be released via Van/Soulfood and a tour is to follow. This autumn is getting stormy and everyone who is dedicated to true hearted music should keep more than an eye on BURDEN!" |
