Basically Title.
Been to Wacken recently and a friend and I were discussing what could be seen as the biggest name in metal currently.
Since we’re “old”, we could only come up with yesteryears titans.
Are there any more recent names that currently dominate the industry? Get played on day to day radio like our childhood bands did?
Gojira is riding pretty high right now after their amazing show at the Olympics, but that’s probably only a temporary bump to their popularity. I’d say Ghost is probably the biggest name in mainstream metal right now.
Ghost is metal?
They’re definitely a bit heavier on the rock side, but they lean toward metal with a lot of songs. More so with their earlier albums, but I feel like most people still refer to them as a metal band.
“Ghost isnt metal” is just a common meme, I was playing on it 😃
Yeah I was going to say ghost. I’m always surprised to see how much of their merch is out there in the wild.
