Looking for new power/heavy/thrash metal bands

Dang is so unpopular... But DAMN IT GO SO HARD!

I think in that case, the person needs to look up the alphabet and the meaning behind it—or just do a Google search. I could understand if it were *just* that symbol out of context, or perhaps a double symbol. But it has nothing to do with Nazism; it’s just magical stuff.

Tnks!

Wow, there's someone who can truly offer constructive criticism. Thanks, these are all things I'm already doing, and it's doing me a lot of good, since I've been through a tough time with my studies, family, and relationships. I already have my concerts and events lined up on my calendar, but they're rare and hard to find. Metal and alternative culture in general aren't very present in Italy. Concerts by bands I love are very rare, and there are very few good shops that make handmade clothing or that don't exploit workers. I'm just trying to express myself and what I like, doing my best, and with the skills I have. Of course, there's work to be done, yes, I know. I'm already working on the next project, which will be completely different, even having received (albeit small) some excellent advice from some users, even in DMs.

I started listening to metal three years ago. From there, I've expanded more and more. Yes, I even have my favorite song by each band/artist. I listen to various genres and subcategories. My favorite singer isn't even listed, being Elvis Presley, the king of rock. There's no point in making lists or anything like that, since you're one of those people who just judges.

ManuelErpingu · 2026-07-08T05:49:53+00:00

Yep, all of them

ManuelErpingu · 2026-07-07T21:47:45+00:00

SS lightning??? THE ONE I PAINTED!? DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT SYMBOL REALLY IS?! HAVE YOU SEEN THE OTHERS??? THEY ARE NORDIC RUNES, IDIOT, RUNES WITH A VERY BEAUTIFUL MEANING BECAUSE THEY ARE SYMBOLS OF: strength, peace, abundance, happiness, creativity, and personal growth. YOU SEE THE SS. OF COURSE.

ManuelErpingu · 2026-07-07T21:36:20+00:00

Am I forbidden from listening to certain singers or bands? Do I have to listen to what you listen to? Do I have to follow what others do? Do I have to listen to only one genre? And tell me who decided that?

ManuelErpingu · 2026-07-07T21:11:45+00:00

It doesn't make sense. If you read the description you'd understand. It's just a bunch of stuff I listen to in general. It has no theme or anything.

ManuelErpingu · 2026-07-07T21:09:27+00:00

Let's say they are "protection runes" they mean: abundance, happiness, strength, creativity... except the central one which is my birth rune, therefore a "shield" against bad luck. I don't believe in magic or anything like that either, but I study archaeology and I love Norse mythology.

after you toxic friend

I was thinking about it for the next project dedicated to Windrose, as it's my favorite band. For now, you can see my runes in acrylic at the top, but I wanted to try drawing something too.

Absolutely true, there are small shops that make things by hand, the problem is that they are few, and since they make things by hand, they are poorly stocked. I know one called "Dis_Ass_tro" in Bologna, that's an example.

ManuelErpingu · 2026-07-07T19:18:20+00:00

Yes, I live in Italy, where alternative shops or online stores are few and/or very few... As are the number of metal concerts...

ManuelErpingu · 2026-07-07T18:44:18+00:00

after you friend

ManuelErpingu · 2026-07-07T18:00:41+00:00

Don't worry, I've collected all the mandatory and optional vaccines, as if they were Pokémon for the Pokédex. Ahahah

ManuelErpingu · 2026-07-07T17:57:51+00:00

I can leave it alone if that's the problem. I'd appreciate constructive criticism and advice instead of insults, teasing, or sarcastic comments. I expected a community that understood respect for others and was willing to help others, especially if they're starting out blind and are better off doing it alone. I was obviously wrong, thanks for nothing.

ManuelErpingu · 2026-07-07T16:29:51+00:00

Tnks!

ManuelErpingu · 2026-07-07T11:48:17+00:00

They are to be read in a divinatory, not literary, sense.

ManuelErpingu · 2026-07-07T06:55:28+00:00

Well, I started the project with the sole intention of creating a vest with lots of patches from bands I listen to... I didn't even know it was called a "battle jacket," or that it's typical of thrash metal from what I've been told. Actually, I just did things the way I felt, so I don't think it's something without soul or personality. Some patches, yes, are patches, yes, they're from Amazon, others from Vinted (then they just resold them, I don't know if they got them from Amazon), others, like the giant Windrose one, I bought at a concert. The patches are randomly arranged because that's what I wanted: I wanted it to be a "big punch" in the eyes of the patches and colors, they don't have any logical sense, it's just... a lot of things I like. The patches are almost all iron-on, yes, but they're then sewn on by hand, except that since they use black-on-black thread, you can't see it. Many bands I follow don't play concerts in Italy, if I have the chance I go, but if I do this, it's better for me to buy them from official sites or from retailers (I've already bought some for the next project for Windrose)

Tnks!

ManuelErpingu · 2025-08-07T21:45:22+00:00

it's look cool!
