>>74809771

litrugy, deafheaven, and blind guardian
Looking for light Vocals and not the screamish ones. Try the last 3 Mastodon albums.
First five Black Sabbath albums
First four Metallica albums
Last four Death albums plus also Leprosy
First four Burzum albums including Aske EP
These are like the main most well known bands in each of the big main subgenres (trad/doom, thrash, death, and black metal respectively). Also the easiest bands to get into in those styles.

Recommending Mastodon and not any of the older ones is kind of a waste

>taking metal this seriously
What manner of autism is this?
The first proper metal album.

Nah, SH and SBG are weak examples of true death metal while the others are good examples of accessible death metal. By the time he would want to do SH or SBG, I would rather he do early Morbid Angel and Deicide by then, but atm I wouldn't push those on him as he's still new.

honestly someone is gonna call me autistic for this, but Metallica's black album serves as a great entry point to metal. The songs have a sorta pop-structure and its very cleanly produced, so its easy to digest for someone new to the genre. Then I'd backtrack and listen to their earlier albums.
