  • 10 Legendary Metal Bands You Forgot Existed (And That’s a Crime!) - 104
    2025/07/01


    In this episode, Jay and Modd dig deep into the vaults of heavy metal memory to shine a spotlight on **some of the most criminally forgotten or stagnant bands** in the scene. Whether they burned bright and fast, went on permanent hiatus, or just never got the respect they deserved, these artists left a **permanent mark** on metal history—and it’s time we gave them their flowers.


    From genre-defining pioneers to chaotic underground legends, we each bring our picks for bands that should’ve blown up—or maybe once did, but were lost in the churn of time. We’re talking **tech-death precision, nu-metal grooves, post-metal atmosphere, industrial heaviness, and raw metalcore emotion**. Get ready for a nostalgic ride through the early 2000s and beyond.


    📜 **In This Episode, We Talk About:**


    🔹 **Nothingface** – The overlooked bridge between nu-metal, groove, and emotional vulnerability. Matt Holt’s voice and lyrical style made them stand out, but they never got the recognition they deserved.

    🔹 **Disincarnate** – Guitar god **James Murphy’s** death metal gem. One album—*Dreams of the Carrion Kind*—is all it took to cement them as a cult legend.

    🔹 **Into Eternity** – Canadian progressive death metal with beautiful melodies and insane technicality. Why aren’t more people still talking about this band?

    🔹 **Misery Loves Co.** – Industrial metal with emotional depth. Ahead of their time, and underappreciated outside niche circles.

    🔹 **Isis** – Pioneers of post-metal. Atmospheric, heavy, and hypnotic. If you love Cult of Luna or Pelican, they owe a debt to Isis.

    🔹 **Animosity** – A true force of early tech-deathcore. Their influence on modern heavy bands is impossible to ignore.

    🔹 **Brain Drill** – Ridiculously fast, ultra-technical death metal that turned heads and melted minds.

    🔹 **Glass Casket** – A precursor to modern deathcore/prog-metalcore with ties to Between the Buried and Me.

    🔹 **Strapping Young Lad** – Devin Townsend’s manic, wall-of-sound masterpiece. More chaotic and complex than most bands dared to be.

    🔹 **Misery Signals** – Melodic metalcore perfection. Their early work practically defined a subgenre. Still respected, but not as widely remembered as they should be.

    🔹 **40 Below Summer** – One of the more aggressive and catchy bands in the nu-metal boom. They had *hooks and bite*.

    🔹 **Viatrophy** – A UK deathcore band that showed immense promise before vanishing way too soon.


    💀 This episode is **a love letter to the underground**, to the bands that inspired us, challenged the genre, and then faded into obscurity. Some called it quits. Some still linger in the shadows. Some we hope will return. But all of them are **worth remembering**.


    🧠 Whether you’re a longtime metalhead or a younger fan just discovering these names, this is your gateway to some of the most **underrated acts** in metal’s history.


    🗣️ **Let us know in the comments or on social media:**

    What bands do YOU think were forgotten too soon? Who should we cover in Part 2?

    2025/05/20

    Buckle up and crank the gain to 11—it’s time for the 98th episode of *The Metal Maniacs Podcast, and we’re coming in hot with Reaction Series #16, where we dissect, analyze, and thrash along with some of the most devastating tracks from up-and-coming underground metal acts.

From Michigan to Massachusetts to the infernal corners of YouTube, this episode has it all—death metal, alternative metal, deathcore, and instrumental madness.


    🎧 **FEATURING REACTIONS TO:**


    🔥 **Krocophile – “Ambush Predator”**

    Brutal, primal, and dripping with bloodlust—Krocophile opens this episode with a vicious assault. Bone-snapping riffs and a guttural vocal delivery that sends us straight to the lair of the beast. Jay and Modd go deep on its structure and pacing, questioning whether this predator ever lets up.


    💀 **Dawn of Agony – *Born 2 Suffer***

    Straight outta the dark side—this record is a sonic breakdown machine. We highlight standout tracks, explore its death metal roots, and talk about the *Born 2 Suffer* album artwork that sets the tone before a note is played.


    🌘 **Shadow of the Talisman – “What Is Real?” / “The Outlaw” / “So Below”**

    Signed to Eclipse Records and flying the Flint, MI flag high, this band fuses thrash, alternative metal, and post-grunge vibes in a way that turns heads. Jay and Modd dive into the technicality, vocal versatility, and emotional drive that fuels their upcoming full-length *As Above, So Below*. Bonus points for one of the best fan submission letters we’ve seen!


    🧨 **Destined for Doom – “Vindictive”**

    Salem, MA deathcore newcomers bring the fire with “Vindictive”—a punishing debut that sets expectations sky-high. We react to the production (shoutout Robbie Litchfield), the rage-filled delivery, and how they’re already dialing in a clear sonic identity.


    💸 **The Omen Machine – “Financial Crime Death Metal”**

    A concept project with an edge: The Omen Machine gives us economy-themed brutality, with Alex Perez (from Sully) on drums. Jay and Modd dissect the balance between lyrical depth and sonic obliteration—and how to make something thematic without losing the punch.


    🌒 **Twilight's Umbra – “Malleable Form”**

    A curveball in the best way—this self-mixed instrumental brings progressive mood and texture that left us nodding along. Jay talks about the layering and dynamic shifts, while Modd touches on how vocals could shape future versions. The creativity is undeniable.


    🧠 **Porphyria – “In Pandemonium”**

    Rounding out the chaos is Porphyria with a track that feels like a descent into madness. Complex, atmospheric, and razor-sharp. We talk about the fusion of styles and what makes it stick in a crowded underground scene.


    🤘 Whether it’s your first time hearing these bands or you’ve been riding with them since day one, our reactions are honest, raw, and full of the passion that keeps the underground metal flame alive.
