#and i know sl33p t0k3n is a band grouped in there often but i do not like them

so like actual question: metal is... a big genre, with lots of subgenres. i kinda know what i like musically, but i don't know how to describe that. i feel like just saying "i want to listen to more metal bands" is a statement that doesn't really say what i want it to say.

i see ghost described as metal, and i do love ghost, but if i say i want to listen to metal, i don't mean ghost.

when i think of metal i think of more... sleep theory? bmth's more aggressive/non pop stuff? bullet for my valentine? spiritbox? motionless in white?

antivist by bmth (youtube link) has been exactly what i'm looking for, but while i adore all of their stuff, it feels like way more of an outlier as compared to a lot of their other music.

i very specifically want the part of metal that has screaming. i don't mind stuff that edges into more electronic (love that about bmth). i want steady tempo. again, i'm seeing metalcore as a genre name, but music genres tend to be ephemeral at best
