What are some unknown bands which you think are heavily underrated or deserve to be much more popular than they are? I’ll go first: Victim, Atrophy, Warbringer (relatively popular however still very underrated), Demolition Hammer (idk if they are classed as ‘unknown’, but again, underrated), Scars of Atrophy (Atrophy’s sucessors, only released an EP so far). Those are just a few. I know more but I haven’t listened to enough of the others to list them here.
In about 2005 or so, I was blown away after hearing Demolition Hammer’s Pyroclastic Annihilation for the first time and was damn surprised no one else had heard of them among my metalhead friends. Definitely underrated.
Also kind of enjoy Anger As Art but I’m not sure what to make of them now; used to think they were super underrated.
