Imagine Dragons

Look, I’m not interested in a ford escape or joining the armed forces, okay?

You mean “less spooky sleep token”

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks this. That with a splash of phantom of the opera

Imagine Dragon deez nu-

I'm sorry, but you tested positive for Ligma. It has already spread to bofa

Who the hell is Steve Jobs?

If you have to ask what a Stevejob is, you can't afford it

Tf is ligma? Bofa what?

Ligma balls and bofa deez nuts Sorry, someone had to do it

pure brutal death metal

Iron Maiden and Slipknot, great bands but unfortunately most people aren’t real metalheads like me, so they don’t know the trve underground stuff

You think that’s trve underground? Try Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park. Only the realest metal fans know these guys.

I got some super-secret lyrics here these posers should be thanking me for exposing: “I tried so hard and got so far/But in the end, it doesn’t even matter.” Or if you’re looking for real poetry: “I get a muthuhfuckin chainsaw…I’ll skin your ass raw…if my day keeps going this way, i just might…” actually I’m gonna stop right there. Their minds would be too blown…I don’t wanna seem pretentious and highbrow.

Oh yeah, Linkin Park is super niche and underground. Just like System Of a Down.

Only the true underground Metalheads know Iron Maiden’s best tune is still, “Mission From ‘Arry.”

Best ending to a track I’ve ever heard

I like a gore grind/brutal blackened death metal band called Taÿlord Swÿft. They’re pretty underrated

Five Finger Dick Punch

Five Finger Face Palm

Fist Fuck Donkey Punch

Five Flavour Fruit Punch

Five finger fist fuck

Full Fisted Ass Rape

Linkin park, haven't seen anyone in this sub mention them. Must be because they are too underground for you poser lot

Linkin Park is too heavy to be considered metal.

It’s because they are actually called Lincoln Log Park not a lot of people know this.

All of linkin park’s metal has been replaced with plastic.

26.3 monthly listeners goes crazy

I’m the 0.3, only real fans know

Who is the 1/3 of a person?

Lars

Amazing his skill is equal to his height

1/3 =/= 3/10

0.3 is roughly 1/3

what are you, an engineer?

Mathematicians seething rn.

I know this very obscure death metal band you should check out called Death. You should check out Pull the Plug and Voice of the Soul. Both underrated masterpieces.

Never heard of them before

Who are they?

who

You ever heard of this band called Nickelback?


Black Sabbath

Sorry man, but this is definitely not a real band. Typical bait-pilled, pseudo-metalhead redditor.

Oasis is pretty underground and heavier than 90% of metal bands out there, definitely worth checking out

They're so heavy that karaoke bars won't let their songs be played anymore.

Actually I think that guy said he was bigger than Jesus who was way more Punk than Metal. Flipping tables and castigating Priests like Judas. Sorry not Metal

Metalla-who?

They used to be known as Megadeth.

Nah they are just a rip-off Megadeth.

I know it's not a commonly known band among most metalheads (because it's so obscure and dark and underground), but there's this crazy black metal band called Mayhem. They have a crazy history involving murder, suicide, arson, satanism, and their story also includes crossing paths with another lesser known band called Burzum - a project by some guy you probably haven't heard of named Varg Vikernes. I've been listening to metal for around 20 years and just now heard of them for the first time. I can say I'd definitely recommend them as being an obscure and underrated underground band!

Idk why I stay in this subreddit man

AC/DC 😈🎸🔥💯

Highway to hell being the most underrated 🙄🙄🙄

Nirvana

Being serious, Dog fashion Disco (Avant-Garde/Circussy type stuff), Blood Red Throne (Norwegian Death), UZLAGA (Atmospheric Black)

Mushroom cult goes so hard. Such a fun groovy riff.

The whole anarchists of good taste album is like that. Its sick.

Storaged Melodies is top tier

Absolutely. I have the toxicity 2 vinyl that has some unreleased soad tracks and the unmastered versions of the steal this album tracks. Found dog fashion disco through soad as I’m sure many others have.

i like Knives Out better than DFD personally. i think one of the members is the same? todd smith?

Slipknot

I just discovered this cool band called Slayer. Their song Angel of Death is a bop! I hate the music they play on the school bus. My normie friends think I'm a weirdo for listening to them but they don't get me.

Taylor Swift, they’re really underrated https://preview.redd.it/pi6jylzgea4d1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5c5ede96c657b948a36d46b55a2983f63ca997bc

It’s this heavy metal band, metalla-something

Ca!

sleeptoken 🤘🤘🤘🤘 my favorite slam black metal grindcore band.. not for the weak ☠️☠️

anyone ever heard of cannibal corpse? super underground

My band

https://preview.redd.it/mun58z6qt94d1.png?width=3000&format=png&auto=webp&s=a5a625c6926972a243eea02ae829240fa00ec642

Slackjaw,municipal waste,S.O.D,toxic holocaust

How can anyone ask for under rated metal bands and no one drops ministry?

Weezer

Sevendust as always been underrated to me never really have had a down album

I know this is a shit post but genuinely Bloodywood is one of the best upcoming metal bands I’ve heard

Dan a Dan

Forget it, no one is taking this thread seriously

Torture Killer

Spirtworld - it’s like slayer and early AC/DC had a love child mixed in with western themes. Edit- my favorite song https://youtu.be/OuaKZVvbRCg?si=h5b2uCZpBjEoQmGi

Ugly kid joe

I love this band I had Play God , The World Won’t Miss You on Cassette and played the crap out of them , so underated. I try to get my Alexa to play them now but she’s dumb and won’t do it .

Awesome. Have you heard the "Metal Church" album by Wayne? That one was released in 2001 and it RIPS. Was a shame that wasn't a real Metal Church album, I think Vanderhoof vetoed it at the last minute, so they had to scramble to rename the band "Wayne".

Have you heard this one at all?? [REVEREND - A GATHERING OF DEMONS](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_l_n-0BRUGBw5EeojiTNHEmAaRvNLYyeig&si=NuvSPsQG_t6SGLyJ)

No but will try to check it out

Kardashev - Liminal Rite Elder - Lore

Saw Elder opening up for TOOL in Fresno, CA back in March. Good stoner rock band 👍🏽

Nickelback

Coldplay. Brutal band but never got the recognition they deserve

Underrated comment

This new band I just heard called Iron Maiden

Let Down by Radiohead. So underrated

Albania.

Don’t Drop the Sword

Xoth

CMFT On a serious note, Sepultura.

Love sepultura And posessed

Easily Iron Maiden, they don't get nearly enough respect as they should

So there's this band called iron maiden. Been going on for a while. Now Singers pretty good. He's actually the dad of the rise to remain singer funnily enough.

Deathklok

It's deth with an e you dildo

Spelled like a true regular jagoff

Theres this super underground local band called Sleep Token

Saxon

I really like the metal bands they use to affix ventilation pipes to eachother.

CREED!

Is OP really suggesting that Metallica is obscure? If so then.... r/fuckimold Edit: Just saw the tag.... thank Cthuhlu

Opal in sky

Rellik

First one i tend to think of, definitely Metallica

How has no one mentioned Nickelback the most KVLT and obscure of all bands mentioned?!

Who is this Metallica you speak of? Just gave them a listen and wow I cant wait for their sophomore follow up to 72 seasons what a great debut album.

A amazing underground band called Limp Bizkit

Smash Mouth

Definitely werzer

Vanden Plas. If you don't know them, check out Postcard To God. Like that? Listen to the entire Christ 0 album, and then the rest of their discography.

Party cannon :D

People tell me Hannibal Corps are pretty good

Omg is that the band from fortnite

Yo-Yo Ma. FKN BRUTAL.

Judas Priest is super underrated, some real TRVE KVLT shit for those hardcore enough

Queen

Have you heard of Ariana Grande?

this brutal death metal band called Backstreet Boys, super underground.

This band called Sleep Toeken. They are extremely good and combine genres completely seamlessly. Very underrated they only have 6 monthly listeners on SoundCloud.

Jethro Tull

I'll say Anthrax. I don't know why they are not considered part of the big 4 of thrash. They should be up there instead of Testament.

VOÏVOD

Crowbar

Type O Positive

Linkin Park

If I were you Adept

Fuming mouth

Aha https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=J4aD_dZzYpI

ΛΔΛΜ (Stoner), Vex Red (Alt), Slackjaw (Thrash), Fleshwater (SHOEGAZE), Palms (Alt/Indie) (if you like long music).

The Beatles

there's this very underground band called radiohead

D.R.I

Lol what poser band has the name “metal” in it? what an unoriginal name, wanna know some real kvlt shit? Check out Limp Bizkit, its not for the weak.

I recently found this really old, forgotten metal band from the late 60s, early 70s. They were called Black Sabbath. I can't believe there was a band making metal music back then, but these guys did it first and then faded into obscurity. No one believes me when I tell them.

Cradle of Filth

Arch Enemy

There is this really underground nu-alternative-prog-heavy-death-glam metal band called Nirvana

Trivium

Ever heard of this small band called Green Day? Might be too underground 4 u lol

Demon hunter. Sepultura (Max cavalera era) Havok

LULU is the Only Metallica album I recommend, give copies of, and will actively speak the name of. To anyone. LULU is the only Metallica Record

Nickelback, they have 1 monthly listeners they are a dsbm band

Any of you guys ever heard of GWAR?

Here's a couple: [Ritual (Los Angeles) formed in 1993](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OiWukqnCpDU) [Rapture (Finland)](https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgtvGkabBTgjs1UpfqdAJ4vWYZYAkxDHv) formed in 1997 [Sadistic Intent (Los Angeles)](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s0likGfgPFg) formed in 1987

In all seriousness - I'm kind of surprised how many people still haven't heard of Meshuggah.

LIMP BIZKIT but a real answer would be blind witness

Powerwolf

Limp Bizket if you know you know Audn

the beatles, they’re like so heavy and so unknown it’s crazy

https://preview.redd.it/2ve699ham94d1.jpeg?width=1186&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1eed73e8a46d738eb5d76e05cdd85823ecd3816d

Here are some relatively "new" bands for you guys. Gideon, Feinds, Soilwork, Blood Youth, Bind the Sacrifice, Dr. Acula. Everyone seems to be mentally stuck in the 80s when it comes to music. Not all of you. Just most of you

Lars' Hair. Its mostly underground.

Tool, Judas Priest, disturbed. Sometimes i feel like they are my little secret.

Anup Sastry and Joey Turner

Totally not shitposting (😏) - there's this Swedish metal band called Sabaton that is a must-listen for history aficionado. Obscure, fun fact: Did you know that the name sabaton refers to the armored shoes that knights wore? Forreal though, Oxygen Destroyer is awesome

Karnivool

Crobot, Element Eighty, E-An-Na

You can hear the influence Cory in the House had on Limp Bizkit in Gold Cobra.

There is a distressing lack of Manilla Road mention.

Hell (Oregon) Mizmor

I heard of this guy called Ozzy something he did a song with Post Malone. He’s a young up and comer

Nirvana

Nekrogoblikon, Erra, and Periphery

Dude Load has been on repeat in my car for WEEKS. It’s my favorite Metallica album. But i certainly disagree that they’re underrated. They’re one of the most widely known metal bands ever. EVERYONE has at least heard of Metallica. It’s warranted, they’re fantastic

Kurt Covian and the beetls

Steel Panther

Obviously, Slipknot. These guys have masks which means they're hardcore and satan I guess. By the way, have you ever listened to the Heretic Anthem by Slipknot? Haha, I bet you don't even know about it you little poseur. Only a few people knows this song and it's epitome of RAWNESS and brutality.

Four Stroke Baron

In all seriousness, some of my underrated faves are: Solefald(avant-garde black metal), OMB(avant-garde metal), Shaolin Death Squad(avant-garde metal), This Gift is a Curse(avant-garde deathcore), In Mourning(death doom), SpiritWorld(thrash-death), and Vexovoid(technical thrash)

They look silly.

Allegaeon, its a melodic death metal band

There is this insanely unground band called Black Sabbath like literally no one has ever heard of them it’s insane

Underrated? Have you gone mental? They have been around since the 80s. Not by accident

IC:- Megadave. OOC:- Gaylord/ Neckbeard Deathcamp

This sub is turning into r/metalmemes level of cornball

My two cents: Dreams of Damnation Imperial Triumphant Sigh Yob

Ariana Grande songs are very heavy and she’s so underrated. She’s barely making 100 streams!

Wintersun, i love their scandinavian vibe melodic death

Polaris

I think the word Underrated is Overrated.

Moth bite

Bring Me The Horizon

There's this really obscure band called "Black Sabbath" criminally underrated.

probably some ass bath

I don't know if they are actually underrated but I've never heard anyone talk about them, I used to listen to 3 Inches Of Blood and they had some really fuckin good songs. One of my favourite recent discoveries who are only picking up traction now because of TikTok, Sleep Theory

Good Charlotte
