Metal YouTube content

First Post May 08, 2025 07:09 AM

Hello guys, I don't know if this is the right place to ask this but what are some really cool channels on YouTube that are about metal music? I noticed that a lot of YouTube channels specifically about metal are pretty terrible. I'm not really a fan of the "funny" channels like Bradley Hall. Goniloc was pretty formative to what I'm into personally but that guy only uploads every once in a blue moon it seems. 

I guess this might also be a good place to recommend some myself. Check out Terminus: Extreme Metal Podcast on YouTube if you like the idea of really in depth discussion about newer extreme metal releases. It's two guys, the death metal guy and the black metal guy respectively and it's pretty cool. It's the only channel I know that really dives into this kind of music in that same amount of breadth. If you want something similar that's more focused on obscure older releases, then the Bunsen Burner podcast is cool too. The YouTube channel is bigbillystrikesback. That one's a bit more conversational, like it's not specifically about whatever album they're covering in the episode. They're both podcasts, though.

I might check out the Terminus and Bunsen Burner podcasts someday. Thanks, Miles!

I've been watching a lot of metal YouTube channels lately, and I even like the funny ones like Bradley Hall. If you're looking for something cool and serious with only a slight tolerable bit of humor, here's a channel I would recommend if you haven't heard of them yet, Thralls of Metal: https://youtube.com/channel/UC8VqWeeSTw2nwksWKUArTvA

hey, thanks for that rec. I would definitely check them out. They seem very familiar for some reason. You might also like Radio Free Innsmouth, it's more short form and he pretty much goes over classic and more cult bands, specifically on the more musical side of things like what techniques they use or what makes this particular sound unique. He's turned me on to a lot of stuff I would have never checked out but his older videos do have a lot of edgy humor in them and also he covers a lot of nsbm and related.

Radio Free Innsmouth... I haven't heard of that channel before but might check it out as well. Thanks for the rec!
