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!".

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.

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".

The Canadian rock band was popular in the late 1970s through the 1980s. Triumph began building their reputation across North America as a live band, peaking in the early 1980s as an import before interest gradually declined. Today, the power trio continue to receive radio airplay on Classic Rock stations and are perhaps best remembered for their positive message songs and their vibrant energetic concerts, complete with extravagant pyrotechnical light shows. Their popularity was extremely strong in Texas, where they first received strong radio attention; but, they were stellar standouts at California's US Festival, and garnered a considerable fan base and radio attention by regularly touring the world, especially throughout North America and Europe. Like their fellow Canadians Rush and Saga.
04.01.2011 - Marcelb7
If Journey and Rush are on this site, so should Triumph. Rik Emmett is a guitar god!

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.
14.12.2013 - Syk
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) |

Anno Domini
Australia / Death/Black Metal / 1 comment |

18.11.2011 - ChaosFeedsLife
There's something happening in Australia. In the past 12 months there has been an insurgence of metal acts that adhere to a standard far beyond that of your typical unsigned Australian band. Bands like Dred (now Oroborus), Templestowe and Aeon of Horus place great value on high quality production, recordings and exceptional artwork. Anno Domini are the next band to join the ranks of those striving for metal perfection.
Anno Domini were founded at the beginning of the millennium in uptight suburbia on the North Shore of Sydney. Five high school misfits were brought together by their need for distortion and double kicks.
Danny Straughen and Iain McLure - the lead and rhythm guitarists - were the founders of Anno Domini. Amir Bukan joined as drummer and Dan Kendall rounded out the line up on bass. Kieran Helmore was a roadie and sound engineer for the band when they began with their original singer. A year later Kieran joined the band as keyboard player and after a direction change is now their full time front man.
Although they have been in the metal scene for the past 6 years, their youngest members have only recently been legally allowed into the venues. Their sound, ever evolving from their nonstop gigging up and down the east coast has mutated into a tighter live show although more intense and chaotic. Anno Domini's sound is an amalgamation of styles with influences as diverse as Behemoth, Vader, Dimmu Borgir and Amon Amarth.
Anno Domini have spent 2009 recording their debut album 'Atrocities' at East Street Studio in Sydney. 'Atrocities' was mastered by Jens Bogren (Opeth/Katatonia/Bloodbath). Their debut offering is a crushing blend of death, black and symphonic metal, dubbed as "skilled and intense" by Jens.
In 2009 Anno Domini landed a much coveted slot on USC Metalfest 2009 at the Factory Theatre as well as the support for Brazilian band Krisiun on their April Southern Storm Tour at the Manning Bar, and recently was selected to perform at Utopia's 30th Anniversary show supporting Mortal sin and The Amenta.
Anno Domini commenced their first ever east coast tour which included 3 Melbourne dates and a Brisbane date. They kicked off the tour performing as a main support at Wagga Open Air supporting US metalcore heavy weights Darkest Hour and Carnifex. In September 2010 Anno Domini supported Norwegian Black Metal gods Mayhem at there Sydney Show. More recently, Anno Domini we're selected to support Nevermore on there 2011 Australia tour in Sydney alongside Daysend.
Anno Domini are now preparing material for a 2012 release and will be hitting the road with Switzerland's Industrial metal act Sybreed as main support in March 2012. |

Memories Of A Dead Man
France / Ambiance / Hardcore / Metal / 1 comment |

17.11.2011 - tilofrumos
Memories of a Dead Man is a Parisian independent band created in 2006. They offer us an ambient metal stamped with delicacy and always accompanied with strokes of post hardcore/screamo influences. This interesting mix has certified efficiency to the band, allowing them to play more than 200 shows, some of them with great bands such as Sonic Syndicate, Anonymous, The Arrs, New Model Army, Devil sold his soul, Black Bomb A, Zuulfx, Saul Williams and many more.
The year 2012 marks a new path for M oad M which is prepared to continue with a new line up and also a new conceptual album. This will be their second album and fourth one including the EP's.
Mixing their musical influences, M oad M plays with the codes which are molded in a clever way in order to give us an hybrid sound, oscillating between Hardcore, Post-core and Ambient. Allying the stabbing sound from post Hardcore with the characteristic sharpness form Metal, its music offers us permanent warmth and cold feeling. Sailing through dark melodies and moments of pure rage, clean voices and flaying ones, the Parisian combo tears constantly the emotion's chords. Always developing dynamic and heavy atmospheres, taking us from melancholic flights to a heavy lead deafening coat: M oad M dissects the human being, explores the faults and the emotions, they touch where it hurts.
M oad M has appeared in radio programs from many countries, in around 50 metal blogs, in many zines from Germany, Sweden, Belgium, Holland and Japanese and also in many magazines/webzines such as :vs webzine, french metal, loud tv, rock one, hard rock mag, terrorizer, blast, tarnsit mag( ch), nawak posse, evolution zine ( arg), elegy, obskure mag, lords of metal, scream channel, noise mag and many more.
The most important of all is that M oad M is a band with a new perspective and a new sound. They are always searching to improve their musical quality and it is a serious band.
CD& Ep:
Memories of a Dead Man (2008)- first Ep
Beyond the Legend (2009) -first Album
Paris Burning (2011)- compilation
Maze (2011)- second Ep
