My Top 10 Music Artists
by Zoltanous
In this post, I'm going to list my top 10 musical artists and my preferred song by each one. I highly recommend listening to them, and if your taste in music appreciates variety, then I believe you'll find enjoyment in them as well.
As I Lay Dying
A lot has been mentioned regarding As I Lay Dying. They are often hailed as pioneers in metalcore and are considered one of the finest within the genre by many enthusiasts. Without a doubt, they're my top choice when it comes to metal bands.
King Von
King Von emerged as a prominent Drill rapper from Chicago, closely associated with Oblock. His reputation extended beyond music; he was reputed to have the past of a hitman and was regarded by many as a serial killer. Among gangster rappers, Von stood out as not only authentic but also as an exceptional storyteller. He is often revered as the king of Drill rap.
Lil Peep
Regarded by numerous fans as the architect of Emo rap, Peep infused elements from Pop Punk and Midwest Emo into his rap music. This fusion resulted in a fresh, emotionally potent, and raw sound.
Deafheaven
Blending Shoegaze with Black Metal might appear unconventional, yet it has given rise to an ethereal and atmospheric sound dubbed post-Black metal or Blackgaze. Deafheaven is often considered the pinnacle of this genre, a sentiment I share.
Ronnie Radke
Radke's versatility in rapping, singing, and performing guttural vocals showcases his exceptional talent. Despite the many controversies, I personally regard his musical abilities as outstanding.
Black Magic SS
Black Magic SS has revolutionized metal music with their skillful fusion of Psychedelia, Punk, Black Metal and with Heavy Metal, creating a distinctive and broad-appealing sound. They push the boundaries of Metal, showcasing their technical skill and creative boldness.
Juice WRLD
Juice stood out as a legend in the Emo rap scene, particularly renowned for his freestyling prowess, to the extent that even Eminem acknowledged his skill. His tracks are consistently charged with emotion and beautifully melodic, providing solace during life's sadder times.
Crystal Castles
Crystal Castles' music exudes an angelic, atmospheric quality teeming with emotion. Familiarity with the group's controversial history can deepen the understanding of this emotional intensity. Their sound is captivating, often leading listeners to a state where they might find themselves lost in thought.
Sewerslvt
While I may not agree with his personal lifestyle choices, the undeniable musical talent they possess is something I can't overlook. It's even more regrettable that they've stepped away from the music scene, given that his contributions to the Breakcore genre were truly revolutionary.
Mr. Kitty
Mr. Kitty's electronic music isn't just imbued with emotion; it's also the kind of sound you can vibe to while gaming. His musical style is something that I find thoroughly engaging.
