Well, I love Metallica the best, but there’s also Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Megadeth, Dream Theater, Anthrax, Greta Van Fleet, Raven, and a little bit of Exodus and Slayer (anything louder or more intense than Exodus and Slayer is too much for me to enjoy)
I’ve actually discovered some heavy metal bands that I truly love in the past 3 years, but they’re all the kind of bands that put thought into their songwriting and instrument playing, that aren’t loud for loudness’ sake, and that don’t have “Cookie Monster vocals”
Just don’t serve him gong-cakes (pan-gongs?)
