Skull Fist! Car Bomb! Across the Sun! The Contortionist! Good Tiger! Fleshgod Apocalypse! Misery Signals! Ne Obliviscaris! And I just love hearing other artists shouting out nothing but praise for other solid metal acts.
I've not listened to their recordings, but they opened for gojira in Chicago when I went, and they were horrible live. maybe it's just cause I didn't know the songs, but there was 0 clarity as to what they were actually playing. maybe it was just a horrible sound guy too, idk, but it was definitely not for me :\
+Teddy Graham you gotta listen to the recordings dude. they are really out of this world, next-level stuff. Hell, the fuckin beatles didnt sound too great live compared to their recordings, and of course they didnt have all the instruments they had on the albums either. A great recorded album is a great recorded album regardless of live performance, and honestly Car Bomb is too technical of a band to really hear in a large room, especially with a bad sound guy.
Brandon Wood i'm a fan of Underoath. After a few years Dallas Taylor leave the band i've been wonder where did he go. Then i found him with MATSOD. i was blessed. So i start a southern rock/metal band because of them.
Black veil brides is the most underrated slamming industrial blackened death grind band ever. I didn't hear anybody mention them in this! Their vocalist Chad kroeger is inhuman
A band called Kinghorse released a really cool debut album back in 1990. I confess I have no idea what they've done since then, but I wore that cassette tape out. Their music was stripped-down metal with great songwriting.
In my opinion the most underrated bands are Leprous Voyager Karnivool Make Them Suffer X Japan (although huge in Japan but heavily underrated outside) These bands deserve world recognition.
Voivod are waaaay more underrated than Vektor. I love Vektor, they are my favorite band, but come on they are getting the praise they deserve. Voivod are still underground after so many classic immortal albums...
Totally fucking agreed with Mark. I saw Sikth live in Lausanne opening for Trivium, and got my “socks blown off”. I had a chance to chat with one of the vocalistsafter the show and he said they are coming back to Switzerland soon. Waiting… I would also add Battle Beast to the list.
Cyclamen from Japan, saw them at Stay Warm Toronto 2016. Not a lot of people had heard of them, they played 3rd outta 6 bands and shocked the whole crowd
Banshee were awesome LOL! Leprous is also a great band too. My picks would be Allegaeon, Beyond Creation, Death (Florida death metal), Death (Detroit punk band), Ackercocke, Thy Darkened Shade, Cynic, Artas...
Thought Industry, from Kalamazoo, Michigan, who started in the late 80s as a technical metal/mathy/sometimes Mr. Bungle-ish band and slowly progressed into experimental heavy rock. Lyrics are mostly stream of consciousness weirdness, but also smart as shit. Broke up in the early 2000s... they started on Metal Blade, who never really knew how to market or promote them. awesome band.
Klause Steinworth why? because of the Æ? Or am I missing a certain spicey meme? But seriously, you should check out the album, if you like melodic metal.
Totally agree with Sikth, Crowbar are one of the most amazing bands ever . They have their own following which is huge but they are a very underrated band
I can give you 10-12 bands just from Australia. Ne Obliviscaris, Karnivool, Caligula's Horse, Twelve foot Ninja to name a few. And do check Soen and Agent Fresco as well!
I heard Banshee's album at work last year. Surprisingly Maiden-ish. Was not expecting that since their lone video/single was sort of average C+ hair-metal.
I remember the tour in 2012 with Meshuggah/Decapitated/C.B Murdoc everyone bought a lot of gear from Mesh and Decap but I found it sad that no one was buying anything from C.B Murdoc since they actually weren't that bad. So I bought one of their cd's... GUYS THERE IS AN UNWRITTEN METAL RULE IF YOU ARE THE FIRST ONE TO NOTICE A BAND THAT DOESN'T MANAGE TO SELL ANYTHING TO ANYBODY AT A SHOW, THEN YOU ARE OBLIGED TO BUY SOMETHING FROM THAT BAND
I remember Kvelertak were touring with high on fire and I told one of the guitarists working the merch booth that me and my buddy were hoping they were headlining haha, he was humble about it. They had way more stage presence and better songwriting imo. I know people like high on fire but there was no showmanship and the music seemed one-note, just a guy with a hairy round gut and a distort pedal in my face haha. Probably the only show I can remember going for the openers and leaving for the headliners
I would go with LOSA... No one seems to have heard of them. They only made one album before they broke up. It's called The Perfect Moment. Hard to come by but it is on iTunes.
Plini is totally sick...he did some drum shit for me on a couple songs a few years back. Hes a one man army! Tomas was so right about C.B Murodc, that music is beyond amazing! Thanks for this video guys...very cool, more please!!!
Awesome. Underrated band? Diabolic - A death metal band from Florida with black metal elements all mixed in a combo of devastating death metal. Forget about calling it brutal, it's just ferocious devastating death metal. The track Extinction Level Event says it all. Choice album: Subterraneal Magnitude which has the song on it. Intestine Baalism - Japanese death metal band. Swedish style death metal but bassy sound but totally amazing overall. Choice album: An Anatomy Of The Beast. A musical trip like At The Gates: Slaughter Of The Soul but I think better which says a lot. Choice song: Cannibal Sodom. Also, listen to the song called Blasphemy Resurrected whose ending is like Metallica: Fade To Black. Definitely worth checking out. Brutality - One of the most ridiculously and criminally underrated death metal bands ever in the history of not just Florida death metal but death metal in general. I mean seriously, death metal fans really need to hear this band. Just some of the most devastating and most amazing death metal you'll ever hear, total guarantee that you won't ask or even want your money back. Choice album: Screams Of Anguish. My pick for choice song is Spawned Illusion but also listen to the song Cries Of The Forsaken just to enhance your idea of how excellent this band actually is. MANDATORY LISTEN, MANDATORY PURCHASE!!!!!
Uchu Conbini. They have a mellow 90s anime style sound with the taps and open chords. Also progressive. also look up Daijiro Nakagawa, he's the reason that band sounds so good
They’ve been brutally driving on pretty much non stop since ‘93 and when I’m wearing a clutch shirt , like now and pretty much always, people say “Is that a band or something?” But then you see a show and 2000 people in a small venue are absolutely raising hell to their live set. I fucking LIVE FOR CLUTCH MUSIC
Daughters of Mara. Because almost no one knows who DOM is, and they basically got screwed over from releasing their first album, I Am Destroyer. But they ripped. You can find their stuff on TH-cam. Shawn's still sort of doing DOM, now.
I feel like Sabaton is highly underrated here in America. In Europe, they're headlining festivals and playing in front of 600,000 people. In America, they get a 45 minute set on the side stage at 2 PM. They definitely deserve more recognition in America.
What happened to toothgrinder??? Saw them with revocation and contortionist and they were so amazing. First 2 albums just kicked so much ass and now I listened to the new stuff and are they even toothgrinder still? Lol it was that bad lol
The Dear Hunter is mine, the discography from that band is massive and the vocalists amazing musicianship needs to be recognized way more. Fuck the song Waves should be used in movie trailers.
When underrated bands named underrated bands :D
When gay nu metal bands give underated bands gay shouts
@@necroputo872 youre so mature
@@necroputo872 massacre are fucking lame ass death metal
@@necroputo872 gay nu metal bands lol wtf, that's a sad attempt to sounding more brutal

Graveyard, Just saw them open for Opeth in February and they are amazing!
Caligula's Horse, Vola, Bent Knee, Unleash The Archers, Mandroid Echostar to name just a few bands that deserve much more attention.
Dave Harris Bent Knee is excellent, saw them with Haken and loved them.
Hell yeah Plini is absolutely amazing!
and plini is good, a little happy mood for me but super smooth ambients.
i'll dig into that Plini once I'm done listening listening to all my new Buckethead tonight. And Paul Gilbert....
LazareFilms He is not underrated
Mac infact hes overrated
I think he is overrated.
Ben had to be the troll 😂
Ne Oblivisacaris and An Abstract Illusion both very underrated its insane
mark poop Amen. Two great bands. An Abstract Illusion and Ne Oblivisacaris's debut albums were perfect. They should be bigger.
Good choices, both...
Too bad Ne Obliciscaris's new album wasn't too great compared to their other stuff.
Citadel was their best imo
vZZenn it’s still on another level
King's X. They're like the most underrated power trio in rock/metal history
Thank you Devin Townsend! The CARDIACS ARE AMAZING!!
Ashton Stevens hell yeah!
Destrage is sick...I first heard a song from them at an old ASK THE ARTIST intro...thanks =)
I'm nobody important but god damnit Caligula's Horse is so fucking good. Please listen to them if you like prog rock or to an extent prog metal
Matt Allan Native Construct too! if youre down with prog
Jonathan Watson You're welcome man!
Ethan Radell I'll give them a listen, thanks!
Matt Allan Make sure you do the whole 1 album they have, its a concept album
Matt Allan and get back to me here if you like them!
Skull Fist! Car Bomb! Across the Sun! The Contortionist! Good Tiger! Fleshgod Apocalypse! Misery Signals! Ne Obliviscaris!
And I just love hearing other artists shouting out nothing but praise for other solid metal acts.
Car bomb by far the most underrated band!!!
I've not listened to their recordings, but they opened for gojira in Chicago when I went, and they were horrible live. maybe it's just cause I didn't know the songs, but there was 0 clarity as to what they were actually playing. maybe it was just a horrible sound guy too, idk, but it was definitely not for me :\
Pedro Mora Truth. Crazy that no one mentioned them.
Agreed! Fucking love Car Bomb.
+Teddy Graham you gotta listen to the recordings dude. they are really out of this world, next-level stuff. Hell, the fuckin beatles didnt sound too great live compared to their recordings, and of course they didnt have all the instruments they had on the albums either. A great recorded album is a great recorded album regardless of live performance, and honestly Car Bomb is too technical of a band to really hear in a large room, especially with a bad sound guy.
thanks for the recomends, car bomb is dope
Maylene and the sons of disaster, their debut album of 2005 is some of the most filthy southern metal I've ever heard. It's simply fantastic
Brandon Wood i'm a fan of Underoath. After a few years Dallas Taylor leave the band i've been wonder where did he go. Then i found him with MATSOD. i was blessed. So i start a southern rock/metal band because of them.
II is so good
Brandon Wood Heyyy, I'm a fan of MATSOD.... Btw Dallas kinda sick now...
Ne Obliviscaris
SIKTH!!! I never see them get love anywhere, awesome!!
Black veil brides is the most underrated slamming industrial blackened death grind band ever. I didn't hear anybody mention them in this! Their vocalist Chad kroeger is inhuman
Dropkickpennyday95 The sarcasm is killing me
Dropkickpennyday95 ewwww..fuck that. my eyes are bleeding from that shit comment
el h that was kind of the point, so thank you!
Oh man, their first guitarist was Kerry King, way way before he joined Slayer. man I miss those early days.
Fendi-Bull Kerry King plus Black Veil Brides. I am now traumatized.
A band called Kinghorse released a really cool debut album back in 1990. I confess I have no idea what they've done since then, but I wore that cassette tape out. Their music was stripped-down metal with great songwriting.
In my opinion the most underrated bands are
Leprous
Voyager
Karnivool
Make Them Suffer
X Japan (although huge in Japan but heavily underrated outside)
These bands deserve world recognition.
Thanks for The Budos Band, just checked them out, they are amazing!
Thumbs up for the bag of drum fills remark alone. Brilliant!
Vektor is the most underrated
glenn rodriguez Both Vektor and Exmortus are killer!
James Haygreen damn, these guy is like wicked version of voivod and coroner get mixed up together
Voivod are waaaay more underrated than Vektor. I love Vektor, they are my favorite band, but come on they are getting the praise they deserve. Voivod are still underground after so many classic immortal albums...
Yeah no, they are critically acclaimed
Totally fucking agreed with Mark. I saw Sikth live in Lausanne opening for Trivium, and got my “socks blown off”. I had a chance to chat with one of the vocalistsafter the show and he said they are coming back to Switzerland soon. Waiting…
I would also add Battle Beast to the list.

This is awesome. I want to see more of this.
Thought Industry, from Kalamazoo, Michigan, who started in the late 80s as a technical metal/mathy/sometimes Mr. Bungle-ish band and slowly progressed into experimental heavy rock. Lyrics are mostly stream of consciousness weirdness, but also smart as shit. Broke up in the early 2000s... they started on Metal Blade, who never really knew how to market or promote them. awesome band.
90s prog metal band - Conception. They should have been a lot bigger.
llongone2 Kahn is criminally underrated as a vocalist.
The most underrated band I know of is "in vain". They make some incredibly awsome prog/melodic metal. Their last album "Ænigma" is absolutly stunning!
Souls Borne That album name sounds too suspicious...
Klause Steinworth why? because of the Æ? Or am I missing a certain spicey meme? But seriously, you should check out the album, if you like melodic metal.
Souls Borne It's just funny since Ænigma is one letter away from Ænima that's all.
Klause Steinworth Ok, I get it :)
Totally agree with Sikth, Crowbar are one of the most amazing bands ever . They have their own following which is huge but they are a very underrated band
Prong anyone?
PS: what is the intro/outro song called?
First two Human Fortress, Heed, Wuthering Heights (Salt), Lost Horizon, Dream Evil, Mystic Prophecy, Project Ayano and so many more epic bands!!!
I can give you 10-12 bands just from Australia. Ne Obliviscaris, Karnivool, Caligula's Horse, Twelve foot Ninja to name a few. And do check Soen and Agent Fresco as well!
I love Banshee- Shoot down the Night!
Dude mentioned Plini... Fuck yes. Underrated metal band is Byzantine. CHECK THEM OUT.
Just checked out C.B Murdoc. Excellent recommendation from Tomas Haake. What a find!
I just bought that Captain Beyond LP a few days ago...glad I'm not an idiot anymore, hahaha!!!
I heard Banshee's album at work last year. Surprisingly Maiden-ish. Was not expecting that since their lone video/single was sort of average C+ hair-metal.
I'd give love to Tyr. Heri and Terji man their guitar work is just beautiful.
I remember the tour in 2012 with Meshuggah/Decapitated/C.B Murdoc everyone bought a lot of gear from Mesh and Decap but I found it sad that no one was buying anything from C.B Murdoc since they actually weren't that bad. So I bought one of their cd's... GUYS THERE IS AN UNWRITTEN METAL RULE IF YOU ARE THE FIRST ONE TO NOTICE A BAND THAT DOESN'T MANAGE TO SELL ANYTHING TO ANYBODY AT A SHOW, THEN YOU ARE OBLIGED TO BUY SOMETHING FROM THAT BAND
Machinedead What if the band sucks? Am I still "obliged"?
My wallet bled with great metal pride. It suffered so all of you could continue wandering in peace through the dark realm of teh METALZ
AS SATAN COMMANDS IT, SO IT SHALL BE
I have to agree with you my dude.
I remember Kvelertak were touring with high on fire and I told one of the guitarists working the merch booth that me and my buddy were hoping they were headlining haha, he was humble about it. They had way more stage presence and better songwriting imo. I know people like high on fire but there was no showmanship and the music seemed one-note, just a guy with a hairy round gut and a distort pedal in my face haha.
Probably the only show I can remember going for the openers and leaving for the headliners
Wish they included links to these bands in the description.
Sunless Rise, Sympuls-E, From Sky To Abyss, Conflict, Shokran, all of them amazing russian bands
Fuckin rights, Leprous is amazing
I would go with LOSA... No one seems to have heard of them. They only made one album before they broke up. It's called The Perfect Moment. Hard to come by but it is on iTunes.

I'm very proud for know Plini, Leprous and Kvelertak from the ones they've talked about :D
Also Ben Weinman from DEP being awesome ahaha
Thrailkill (Mammoth was the old name). Guitar nerd heaven.
Awesome. Underrated band?
Diabolic - A death metal band from Florida with black metal elements all mixed in a combo of devastating death metal. Forget about calling it brutal, it's just ferocious devastating death metal.

All Hail The Yeti is pretty small and I definitely think they need more recognition. They're super badass
Corrosion of Conformity. Or The Cult.
Huge respect for Matt for shouting out Destrage. TRULY underrated.
KARNIVOOL
Dave YES
Dave garbage af
Yes!!! One of my favorites!
beat me to it.
really surprised not to see KINGS X on this list. easily the most underrated and overlooked band in rock/metal period.
I love these comments hahaha. Car Bomb, Kvelertak, Venom Prison, Ne Obliviscaris, Sikth, Vektor, Prong...seen all of those bands live.
Dragged into sunlight is a pretty underrated band imo
Uchu Conbini. They have a mellow 90s anime style sound with the taps and open chords. Also progressive.
also look up Daijiro Nakagawa, he's the reason that band sounds so good
Please everyone check out the band Bear. Album: Noumenon. Kickass métal from Belgium.
Sylosis. For sure in my opinion. They're usually loved by most people who hear them for the first time but I think they deserve more recognition.
Great to see Plini get some love!
Clutch needs more recognition
They’ve been brutally driving on pretty much non stop since ‘93 and when I’m wearing a clutch shirt , like now and pretty much always, people say
“Is that a band or something?”
But then you see a show and 2000 people in a small venue are absolutely raising hell to their live set.
I fucking LIVE FOR CLUTCH MUSIC
I have no idea who half the bands are that are speaking...
Adie Stone congratulations
Spingus Malingus Thanks Spingus.
Me either - glad to see someone else is in the same boat. those bands probably all suck, i get like modern deathcore/whatever vibes from half of them
Adie Stone congratz youre a noob
Kvelertak! saw them open for Mastodon and Gojira, pretty cool band
Since Devy doesn't mention them here, I have to recommend Grotus, those guys sounded like nobody else!
Insense has an album named Burn In Beautiful Fire that is my fucking jam. They are from Norway, definately check them out!
funny thing ... i try to memorize the spelling of this band they mentioned "SIKTH" .... and justin from toothgrinder just wears a shirt of them :D
Love the Plini shout out from Englund
And I just love good ole Hevy Devy In general.. "Give love to??"
Daughters of Mara. Because almost no one knows who DOM is, and they basically got screwed over from releasing their first album, I Am Destroyer. But they ripped. You can find their stuff on TH-cam. Shawn's still sort of doing DOM, now.

Pelican & intronaut and Russian circles

Attick Demons, HARDBONE, Alchemist, Black Tusk
Köld Plaï? Who are they? I've never heard of them. They do sound brutal though
Yeah PLINI -track "Pastures" from Handmade Cities is an a same level as Tool I'd say
Captain Beyond? Cop Shoot Cop? The Cardiacs? Yes, please.
Why does the description mention "accessory they'd like to have onstage"? Does Metal Injection shit out these videos without even checking them?
8 Foot Sativia
also a good underated early Thrash metal band Nuclear Assault
Learned of a lot of great new bands here today. What is that song in the intro?
Nick Burpee Cutting Teeth by Haunted
Fütumche! is an extremely underrated band. They've got a shit ton of unreleased songs, they're a great live band.
I don't know how to spell the band that Tomas recommended. Can somewhere tell me please, I want to check those guys out.
cb murdoc, i got there cause he cited the album here be dragons, imma checking them out also.
LazareFilms same
Elias Mina Awesome thanks man! Cheers.

HOTH - Star Wars story concept influenced blackened melodic death for fans of Wintersun, Dissection and Necrophobic
3:21 Aye he got a Sikth shirt on, lmao
Fair to Midland.
Both their albums are masterpieces.
Decadawn
Be'lakor
Brymir
Whispered
Is Wintersun underrated?
Shadowblade ( canada)

What happened to toothgrinder??? Saw them with revocation and contortionist and they were so amazing. First 2 albums just kicked so much ass and now I listened to the new stuff and are they even toothgrinder still? Lol it was that bad lol
Haji's Kitchen. They were doing the 7-string thing before Korn even thought about it.
Hajis Kitchen to me is a very underrated band.. They deserve more recognition...
RANDY FROM DENMARK. LISTEN TO THEM. They should be huge, but they never went anywhere sadly.
Give some love to threat signal they are so underrated
The Dear Hunter is mine, the discography from that band is massive and the vocalists amazing musicianship needs to be recognized way more. Fuck the song Waves should be used in movie trailers.
Side note Sikth are fucking amazing
Someone mentioned but I must confer Clutch! Or Corrosion of Conformity!
Clicked for Tom Haake, pleasantly surprised by Devin Townsend. Of course he shouted out Cop Shoot Cop, lmao.
And Ola Englund?! HELL YEAH
Which one did tom haake picked?!
Whats the band Thomas said??
My Dying Bride idk if they are considered underrated but i rarely hear this band named in any metal discussion. The dreadful hours was a f masterpiece
Fair to Midland man, sheee..
The description doesn't match the vídeo...
THE CROWN , most under rated death metal band to me.
I'm glad Plini and Destrage were mentioned.
Most underrated/unknown band: Ever Forthright
