Description:

Unknown Metal is the place to be to find great metal bands that deserve more recognition. Here you can browse, post, and comment on unknown metal bands of every metal sub-genre.

Music is such great part of our lives, and should be experienced to its fullest extent. So limiting ourselves to the mainstream doesn't make much sense. It seems only appropriate that we reach into the depths of the unknown. Nothing great was ever found by searching where others have already looked. The real treasures lie hidden in new and unexplored worlds.
This group explores these unknown worlds and brings to light these treasures, in order to spread the wealth to as many others as possible.

By joining this group you will gain access to these bountiful treasures. And can browse a library of over 1000 bands. Joining will also allow you to post bands you know that you think deserve more listeners. Promoting your own band is not only allowed but recommended! This is probably one of the best places to do so.

All bands posted will be archived and added to a list of all other bands posted with a link to the original page.

Every week the bands recently posted will reviewed in order to pick the top three best bands. These three will be sent out in a weekly newsletter. So if you don't feel like sorting through the massive amount of bands contained here then this is a quick and easy way to listen to a couple of good new bands.
Don't worry if you ever miss a newsletter for whatever reason, all newsletters will be archived in a journal entry for you to read over later at anytime. Archive

So if your a die-hard Metalhead or just a casual listener, please join this group and help promote unknown bands everywhere.

Sincerely,
Justin (Hatebreeder_COB)

(Until further notice I have put Evilquince in charge of keeping the complete band list up to date. Thanks you, Evilquince for your contribution to Unknown Metal!)

Sometime ago someone shouted about Bumzur. Goattaog is also fun to check out. Also the tag the most frostbitten and grim music from the very very very very very very inverted mountains of kxziiiimfghhhblaghl has a fine collection of ... well, that tag explains all doesn't it?

I didn't test any of the links in the last 4 posts I made. Sorry if you end up with tentacle rape. But should be okay.

I'm now just hearing about Oranssi Pazuzu. I think I'll be making a post on them if noone does it before me. But by all means, go listen to it: here and this is how I found it (awesome channel, though not in particular metal, by the way).

Why is Meander a connected artist here? It's a breakcore/drill/IDM type project, and the other Meander is a psytrance project. Is there one with metal elements that just isn't listed on the last.fm page?
