I’ve surprisingly (to me, since I have never been much of a metal fan) taken a liking to some metalcore: Bring me the Horizon, Architects, Avenged Sevenfold, Bad Omens, President, etc. Mostly picked up the interest from watching mainstream drummers take it on in the Drumeo “hearing songs for the first time” series, which I think was introduced in one of these threads.

You can checkout Aurorawave. They’re like an “intro to metal” being not too heavy.
From AI:
Aurorawave is a genre-fusing rock band pioneering “reggacore”-a hybrid of heavy guitar-driven metal and reggae rhythms.
Saw them at Shoreline last year, pretty good.
Watch this video (they get heavy at 2:40 mark)

Side note for new music. Bought tickets for a reggae/rock concert at Frost in October.
Slightly Stoopid, The Elovators, The Hip Abduction and DENM. First three I’ve seen already and are good.
