I just found out that Buckethead has released something like 90 albums this year. The dude is absolutely a machine.
Edit: Looks like it’s actually 99. The crazy bastard released 9 albums in the time it took me to write my comment!
Does he just jam for 30 minutes and call it an album?
Apparently so haha
The Pike Series are mini-albums that Buckethead began releasing rapidly in 2011, usually around 30 minutes in length.
WTF? Really? I never listened to him much, but I know from what I’ve heard he’s beyond amazing.
Edit: according to Wikipedia you’re missing a few hundred 😳
Buckethead’s discography currently includes 435 studio albums (388 of which are in the Pike series), one live album, four special releases, five demo tapes, three solo DVD video releases, two DVD video releases with Cornbugs, three music videos, three solo videography releases, and 16 videography releases with other artists.
Edit 2: his origin story is hilarious, dude definitely has a screw loose 😂
I was eating it (KFC chicken), and I put the mask on (that he had just bought after watching Halloween 4) and then the bucket on my head. I went to the mirror. I just said, ‘Buckethead. That’s Buckethead right there.’ It was just one of those things. After that, I wanted to be that thing all the time.
The 99 I mentioned were just FROM THIS YEAR! Dude is absolutely insane!
Oh damn haha
Holy shit. Seriously???
He’s phenomenal
Only 1 live album though. That’s surprising considering.
My mind boggles. Also, I’m curious to have a listen. 👀
Also, 99 😱
‘Elephant man’s alarm clock’ is my favorite buckethead album
I’m going to give it a listen
And then they disappear just as fast & decades later I still listen to the same albums in my car.
Pulse Ultra. One album. Absolutely fantastic. I’m sad and glad we’ve never gotten more… but what is out is perfect. So maybe a second album would’ve not been as good.
This guy gets it
Sleep Token.
Not a single song I haven’t enjoyed. All I need now are their vinyls and a turntable.
Worship!
They said “obscure little”, not “the most popular and hyped metal act currently, with sold out shows worldwide”
Not something I was aware of. Most people I talk to haven’t heard of them.
If it helps, I’ve never heard of them.
All good and all, and not trying to be a dick.
Saw homie was catching downvotes, figures to explain why.
Sleep Token rules. I saw them 2 months ago. Their merch line literally lasted longer than their show. By hours.
That will never occur at even a remotely small, remotely obscure bands show.
Metal is huge as a genre but it somehow still flies under the radar. 90% of people I meet have no clue about metal at all.
So, what bands are you talking about? Curious…
This is beyond obscure, this is 2000s turkish metal that tried to go for 80s garage metal
Thanks, will give it a listen
A song on YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ixf3yxZVmHc
Don’t see more of their stuff on YT.
The above album is on youtube music, too.

Is good, I’ll try it as work music.
Ni!
Not sure if they’re that obscure, by some people’s standards, but here, have some Kardashev
Yes, Kardashev are awesome!
Blackbriar are pretty cool.
Lord of the Lost are one of my favorites but are getting bigger especially with Eurovision this year.
Warkings keep slapping.
Earth is great to listen to if you’re trying to read or write and just need to block out other noise. Apparently the guy behind the band was roommates with Curt Cobain.
I love me some Warkings! Their stuff is consistently fun.
This Seattle band is crazy good

Check out Eternal Champion’s latest release. It’s like Retro power metal. Incredibly well done.
For Black Metal fans, check out Toronto’s Thantifaxath. My personal fav release is Sacred White Noise.
Good shit. Both bands have a great catalog.
Champion is up my alley. I’ll have to give both of them a serious listen.
If you like Eternal Champion, check out…
- Riot City
- Gatekeeper
- Visigoth
- Megaton Sword
I love gatekeeper.
My recommendations:
Witchcraft
Flight
Haunt (sometimes called haunt the nation)
Night demon
Caludron
I gotta check out Eternal Champion…after I’m finished listening to Santana and smoking my Cuban cigar down in Miami 😊
I didn’t use Spotify until recently and it has opened me up to so many bands that I would have never found on my own. I never really listened to the radio much, and then had Tidal for a few years because of their ability to stream FLAC files and I had just bought mid-high end headphones. The app sucked though and the music selection is like a 10th of what is available on Spotify.
Look at gnoosic.com so many obscure bands. It’s an AI that recommends shit.
Directed me to a guy with 26 listeners once and it was solid.

Right? It’s powerful. Shitty look to the website, but it fucking claps when it comes to recommended music
Awesome thanks!
I’m a big fan of The Score, but they aren’t a metal band
If throw out The Necromancers, though not sure if their obscure.
Rezn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0uNaZ6nbww
Definitely check them out live if you ever get a chance!

I’ve really been enjoying Faux Fiction. I haven’t disliked a single one of their songs. They are more indie/rock than metal, but still goes hard.
Aether Realm is one of the best current melodic death metal bands and no one can convince me otherwise.
