OK....so I listened to five songs from these newish artists.
Let's start with Katatonia. I listened to the song Flies. It turns out, they aren't a new band at all with their first album coming out in 1993. They didn't chart in my country until 2012. That might be why the name seemed familiar, but the music wasn't. Getting back to the song, it had melody and some interesting progressive elements. I'll probably check out more from their catalog.
The other two bands, Ahab and Memoriam, were not my kinda Metal because of the Death Metal growling vocals. I preferred the instrumental aspects of Memoriam because there was more of a groove. I'll move on because it's unfair to judge this genre because of my taste in vocals.
It's funny that I ended up picking Inhaler because they aren't Metal and Ranker classified them as Alternative. When skipping to the next page, I must have clicked the wrong thing and got a different list. The lesson learned here is to do more research before choosing what bands to listen to. That's what I'll do when there's a next time for me to find new stuff.
