Most Underrated Metal Bands of the 21st Century
It's unfair to live without listening to those bands... and check it cuz it's all really good.Breaking Benjamin deserves the #1 spot for sure. Finally a good list! Seether is a great #2 and I like Three Days Grace more than Seether but TDG has a lot of fame. But Breaking Benjamin should be one of the most famous bands out there with bands like A7X and Disturbed (god I hate Disturbed). Seether is amazing too. But Breaking Benjamin has some of the best songs I've heard. So Cold, Breath, Blow Me Away, Had Enough, Home, Crawl, Lights Out. God so many.
I'm extremely picky when it comes to music. Especially rock. I hate all the old metal stuff. Un melodic, horrible voices, and fast guitar sounds that are supposed to impress me? No. But when I found Breaking Benjamin. I found a sound that fit everything I loved in music. Keep in mind this is coming from a guy who hates almost every type of music. BB is my favorite band of all time and if people would stop claiming that there 80s metal bull is so good, we could get a move on with music
Yea, I agree they should be up there with Disturbed and TDG, both of which are some of my favorite bands. A7X is way out of all of their leagues though, they're probably the modern-time 'representative' of Rock for our current era. though I do think Breaking Benjamin deserves a lot more fame, hell I've been listening to them since I will Not Bow first came out.
Breaking benjamin's songs are so amazing. I Like 95% of there songs. They are the best metal band ever. Ben Burnley voice is epic. His Scemo is epic and clean. His singing is jaw dropping. I wish I could have such talent.
I hate that people are this moronic towards Seether. I've been to a lot of concerts and I've never seen one that was so amazing as the one Seether threw in the Hard Club in Oporto ( and I go to Rock and Rio every year ). All the guys on those magazines that make these top 100's of anything concerning best vocalists, best alternative, grunge or metal bands should eat a turd for every time they leave Seether out ( and far from the top too, mind you ). Don't even bother me with that " Taste can't be discussed, just embraced " kinda crap. Give the recognition to the ones who deserve it. Really, see the heavy metal vocalists top 100 by hit parader. It's so dumb, it's not even funny. I'll go buy a hat and eat it if anyone thinks Jon Bon Jovi sings even"heavy metalish", and I don't even like hats. And yet, he's right there position 30. After seeing that, I can now safely say that don't give a flying about anything that magazines does anymore, or anyone that remotely ...more
OH GOD YESSSSS! I really needed to see these guys on top of this list. They are so underrated it's not even funny. Their best songs are: Truth, Driven Under, Remedy, Fine Again, Fallen, and Fade Away. It's only the smart thing to do to vote for these guys. But in all honesty... EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE BANDS ARE GREAT!
with songs like :
FADE AWAY
BROKEN
LIKE SUICIDE
NEVER LEAVE
LOVE HER
BLISTER
WASTE
and many more.. this band rocks.. its one of the best altrock / kinda grunge band iveever heard.. beserves nmbr 1
Seether are awesome. Every song is unique! The lyrics are amazing and every song has a story behind it. Definitely one of my favourite bands and Shaun's voice is great!
Men Without Armies is a guitar driven, 3 human metal band based in Nashville, TN. Brennan Dylan is the band's songwriter and guitarist. The kid totally rips a whole in the sky with his axe. MWA which was the group's first release (2014) received a lot of play & still is on some internet as well as terrestrial radio stations. The band has just finished recording Strapped and Loaded and it is scheduled for release late spring 2017. I've heard some of their songs on the 365 Radio Network and man they are killer. One more thing. Men Without Armies won Metal Group of the Year at the 2016 IMEA Awards.
Most of the other bands on this list are not underrated... System of a Down is awesome, but let's be honest here, they are far from being unheard of. Arch Enemy, on the other hand, are a little known melodic death metal band that could rival bigger bands with their music if only more people listened to them
The only metal band in the top ten. Arch Enemy makes all these guys look like kittens. I love System of a Down and Seether, but they are NOT metal bands.
The coolest Death Metal band ever! I'm no Metalhead (as a matter of fact, I'm Goth), but I LOVE Alissa White-Gluz's growls.
They are really great... Guitar work and drum work is truly outstanding!
I think they're underrated because people associate Slipknot with nu metal. And they're really not nu metal, but a lot of metalheads are missing out because they think Slipknot's nu metal.
HOW ARE SLIPKNOT UNDERRATED?! I don't get how people can think that. Now sanctity they are underrated
They should sell out at EVERY show. Come on People!
Not underrated in the slightest.
51 million views on I hate everything about you? That's overrated. No its not. I can guarantee you that less than 1 million people have watched it more than 51 times because it's so damn good. Heres some other classics.
Animal I have become
Never too late
Riot
Pain
Time of dying
Break
One of the best Metal/Hard Rock/Post-Grunge BANDS IN HISTORY!
They give you true rock music, better than most of those emo screamers out there!
Pain
Never Too Late
I Hate Everything About You
Animal I Have Become
The Good Life
And they won't stop there!
This Band Should Be Above These Wannabe Rockstars... Please Vote For It... My Favorite Band up till now...!
Also not a Metal Band at all!
You call these bands metal? - Breaking Benjamin, Seether, Three Days Grace ... And even put them in the top 3? They are neither metal nor underrated - some got more than 10,000,000 views.
Now, here's a pure metal band and truly underrated - Primal Fear.
If you wanna hear the pure sound of heavy metal in the 21st Century - give them a listen. These guys play an updated version of traditional metal and in their sound there are no any influences like punk, grunge, rap, techno, hip hop, core, prog and so on. Pure metal! Excellent musicianship.
Songs: King For A Day, All For One, Strike, Diabolus, Blood on your hands (all released from 2005 to 2014).
Extremely underrated band, they have so many great songs but just listen to Chop Suey! And tell me I'm wrong. They have such a unique sound, I know that they would hate me to label them so just give it a listen and decide for yourself.
In my opinion System of a Down is equivalent to cheap trick of metal. Can be viewed as cartoonish, but when you actually listen to their songs they kick ass and get their point across
Actually they are very underrated, the poser kids of today only knows chop suey and B.Y.O.B, but they have more awesome songs than that 2
I don't know how underrated they are, I think they are pretty widely accepted as a top 2 nu metal band with KoRn
Disturbed is pretty famous and popular now
Should be in the top 5
This is an elite metal band and criminally underrated - they are professionals and perfectionists (studio and live). Complex songs and arrangements. Godly singer. Play several subgenres: from thrashy speed metal to prog metal and symphonic metal. Also developed their own style and sound, which can't be placed in any metal subgenre.
Songs: Wheel Of Time, And Then There Was Silence, Time What Is Time, Majesty, The Bard's song, Sacred Worlds, Nightfall.
This band makes godly songs that you go mad to. The insane riffs, the divine drumming and of course the chorus of so many of their songs is simply madness that makes you want to die! One good listen will totally change your view of metal and make you realize what stunning songs your ears have been oblivious to because these guys are truly awesome!
For starters, chiron, a song for the hopeless, two weeks and other otherworldly tracks.
I love this band, and respect to Philip Labonte for serving our country as a member of the Marine Corps.
All That Remains is pretty popular to be honest
I consider myself quite familiar w/ heavy metal community but just recently (after 10y of experience) I found them out thanks to comment on youtube. Great band, interesting music which really suit my tastes and its very sad that I found them so late and (more importantly) ACCIDENTIALY. They deserve to be well known... but maybe its just me who never heard of them before...
Rammstein is one of Germany's most successful music artists, and one of the few that gained notable chart success and fame internationally. Since their debut album "Herzeleid", Rammstein's music has often been used in well known movies, including "Lost Highway", "The Matrix" and "Nymphomaniac", the first of which is often credited as the movie that brought the group to international recognition. ...read more.
Their German vocals and the controversy around their acts (which linked with some ridiculous rumours like being Nazis) prevented Rammstein to gain more positive attention although their success is huge. Great library of songs (with a superb variety) and powerful live performances.
Their songs are both heavy and beautiful, their music videos are amazing, and their live performances are insane! It's a shame that more people don't know about them.
This band is really underatted with solid live performance that may burn you face.literally.and great songs like Mein teil and Amerika and Sonne to name a few
Great Band! Where did they go?
War of Gods is Really cool. Cool Viking Metal. Lk them as well as Children of Bodom
listen to CRY OF THE BLACKBIRDS (recomanded)

Also take a listen to Across the Rainbow Bridge from 3.00 onwards
this band os really gd.. they made masterpeices like black water park (12 mins) deliverance (13 mins) windowpane (check itt! ) pure metal great band
They released their debut album in 1990 and have since released twelve studio albums, four EPs, three compilations,... read more
These guys are awesome - traditional/ heavy metal, thrash and power metal. Epic stuff.
sick power metal band listen to songs like the hunter
damien
dante's inferno
Check out the list - Top 10 Into Eternity Songs (Stu Block Era)
Of course they are underrated - how many of you have heard of them?
And how many heard of their great songs like: My Last Sunrise, Crimson King, Heaven Denies, Tear Down The Wall, Path Of Glory, Fiddler On The Green (all released after 2000).
Breaking Benjamin? Seether? Amon Amarth? Why they underrated? They have a very high popularity. Kalmah is not so underrated too really.. But more than BB
VERY UNDERRATED! these guys are one of the best musicians ever. and besides Seether?! like really? is this a joke?!
Breaking benjamin is not metal... Post-hardcore. Three days grace is not underrated. Other than that, pretty good.
Great musicians It a shame that they don't get the exposure which they deserve
