I was looking for modern pop-punk to listen to but more in the vein of The Used and early FOB than more cheerier music like blink or NOFX. I dig those last 2 bands, just not looking for anything overly upbeat.
I first heard of BABYMETAL (always caps, all the time) literally a week ago, when they were on Kerrang!'s International Women's Day - "Women of Rock" program. They started off in 2010 as a trio of J-pop "Idols" - heavily commercially manufactured performance artists - which performed J-pop songs in front of a heavy metal session band. That doesn't sound like "legit" heavy metal, does it? According to veteran heavy metal singer Rob Halford of Judas Priest, they're absolutely legit and absolutely heavy metal - what an accolade!
Their name, in fact everything about them, is a god damned play-on-words (or gestures). "Baby", when spoken in a Japanese accent, sounds like "Bebii" which rhymes with "heavy", so their name - BABYMETAL - sounds almost identical to "heavy metal". The trope of "death" in heavy metal goes against the J-pop theme of the band, but fortunately "death" in a Japanese accent sounds a lot like "des" ("desu", with the "u" dropped), which means "I/we am/are", so when they should "BABYMETAL death!" it legit sounds like "We are heavy metal". Ain't that something? :D Furthermore, as none of the singers had any exposure to heavy metal prior to joining the group, when they were first shown the heavy metal devil horns - 🤘 - they immediately got it "wrong" and instead made a hand gesture akin to a fox - 🦊 - which, by the way, represents a "kitsune", a mythical spirit-like creature which can transform between a human form and that of a fox spirit.
So onto the tracks. I first heard "Gimme Chocolate!!", and that was enough to hook me, but since then i've had a gander at their repertoire and this is the shortlist, in order, which i would recommend to anyone who wants to check them out. I'm also rating them in order of metal (💀) -vs- cuteness (🖤), given that the metal side of the band is metal AF, and the cute side is cute AF.
💀💀💀💀💀 Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!!! is from their debut album from 2012. The neck brace is a nod to an X Japan band member who hurt his neck and had to perform wearing a neck brace.
💀💀💀💀💀 BABYMETAL DEATH Legend 1997 was performed for the first time on stage in 2013. It certainly puts a lot of other metal bands' performances to shame! Ozzy Osbourne was 34 when he bit the head off a bat and it was arguably one of the most metal things to have ever happened. This staged crucifixion occurred a day after BABYMETAL's lead singer
... keep reading on reddit ➡Hi guys,
Looking for capable musicians to start heavy online band. Used to play drums and guitar in different hardcore and metal bands. Can cover guitar, bass and mixing duties. Currently unable to record live drums due to apartment situation, but can program decent drums if no drummers available.
Styles I play the most/am most familiar with: Hardcore, Thrash/Death/Black Metal, Stoner Rock/Metal.
Looking to experiment and expand within these styles. Open to either start new ideas from scratch or to work on existing ideas/demos that I can also provide.
DM me if interested. Collaboration currently open to guitarists/bassists/vocals/drummers.
Cheers! \m/
EDIT 1: Thanks guys! A lot of you have reached out to me and I found many talented people to start one or perhaps even multiple projects with. I'll try to keep you posted as to what comes out of it.
I'll also try to collaborate with as many of you who reached as possible. I'm always interested in trying out different ideas.
In the meantime, I encourage you guys in the comments to connect with each other since I can attest there is a lot of talented people here on /BedroomBands interested in doing some heavy music!
For some reason, the nchc scene seems to be where all of my favorite bands come from. I would like to make a list of the bands that I am aware of, and would like recommendations for bands from NC.

My list: Advent Funeral Chic Joy Invoke Torch Runner Bloodritual Dwell Raw Hex
