If there’s a service that can actually distinguish between the different types of metal, please point me to it!
Trying to get a stream of symphonic metal will always do one of two things: “Here, have the entire library of these three bands!” or “Oh you like metal? Here’s the most gutteral death metal we could find! BWAAAAAAAAAAA!!”
Nope. For metal the suggestions are like you said. Either generic or limited. I usually just look up “more bands like x” and use the results. Usually a mix of last.fm + reddit + other sites. Another thing I’d do is use rateyourmusic and browse by genre. For Symphonic metal, for example. Sometimes there’s genre specific sites. Like the progarchives where I go as well from time to time.
Oh, many subreddits also have discord servers so maybe look into that as well.
I struggle with finding rap rock and rap metal like seriously, it’s impossible because all algorithms will end up suggesting either normal rap or directly metal and rock 💔
