Alright, I've been slowly expanding my exposure to the wider world of metal, and I'd like some recommendations from the resident metalheads.
I'm in my mid-30s, so I went to high school during the heyday of nu metal, and I guess I just didn't feel inclined to dig deeper. In recent years my love for post rock led me to enjoy stuff like Russian Circles and Deafheaven, which led me to things like Alcest, Møl, and Rolo Tomassi. Recently, I've gotten into some of the popular groups like Mastodon and Baroness, as well as Kylesa and Bask. At the same time I've been working on exploring the more well-known 80s stuff, including pre-Black Metallica.
I know I'm barely scratching the surface (and, as you can see, I haven't really ventured into the really heavy stuff), so where should I go next?
