Metal community, all subgenres welcome.

It only seemed fitting to have Lemmy himself as the icon.

Basically Title.

Been to Wacken recently and a friend and I were discussing what could be seen as the biggest name in metal currently.
Since we're "old", we could only come up with yesteryears titans.

Are there any more recent names that currently dominate the industry? Get played on day to day radio like our childhood bands did?

They're definitely a bit heavier on the rock side, but they lean toward metal with a lot of songs. More so with their earlier albums, but I feel like most people still refer to them as a metal band.

"Ghost isnt metal" is just a common meme, I was playing on it 😃
