Great Heavy Metal Bands That You Never Heard Of

Recently, I wrote an article for the Headbanging Havenabout heavy metal bands that you never heard of. This was a fun article for me to write and I love helping out my fellow bloggers when I can. While writing, I was inspired to reach deep into my CD collection and memory and pull out some great bands that have been forgotten or have became dormant in recent years. I am only one person, I’m sure their are other great bands that I never heard of and I should know about. I do think the article hit some high points with Celtic Frost, Circus of Power, and Masters of Reality.

Here’s an excerpt from the article:

Trouble– One of the forefathers of stoner rock though they didn’t know it. This band was known for their contemplative, sometimes spiritual, mostly dark lyrics. At the time of the release of their first album, Psalm 9, some people mistook them for a Christian metal band. Slow and creeping, almost a throwback to Black Sabbath, I find myself cranking this one up and singing along like I’m a heavy metal prophet. Check out “At the End of My Daze,” “Psychotic Reaction”  and “Black Shapes of Doom.” I understand that the band may be active again.

 
Acid Bath– A strange progressive metal band that was a lot of things…a single song could be in three genres. This band came up in the same rock climate as Tool. Grunge was dull and Rush was too old school. This band produced interesting music and was extremely popular in the underground and still is to this day. The leader of the band, Dax Riggs, has gone on to be a fan favorite and has had many projects in many genres. This is worth discovering if you are a Tool fan or a progressive metal fan in general.
