You posted a metal band I really really liked, in another thread, I can't remember the name. Help me remember. The only clue I can offer: there were no vocals.

I’m a metalhead and I love this song
Note to BotanyBoy: I'm not so much embarrassed as I am annoyed.
I spent some time searching YouTube for videos, even ones with just stills, for people banging metal—literally—in a somewhat musical way, but when I searched terms such as "banging metal" the results were all too predictable.
Be that as it may, I was far more the metal fan then than I am now, and even then I wasn't totally committed.
Of course tastes are subjective.
Second, the speed metal starts to sound the same pretty quickly to me.
Third, the whole darkness bit starts to become a turn-off pretty quickly.
If only there were songs with the strength of metal, but not so negative. I suppose there are hard prog-rock examples such as Triumph's Hold On, but such are over 40 years old.
Below are, in my view, some of the better of the somewhat lame results—save maybe the first—that one was cute.
I found them, I might as well post them, but you need not click them.
Btw, some of the stuff in your post here sounds interesting.
Here is a prog album that's metal for sure, and while it's got some darker moments it's overall not very dark sounding.
Fuck metal! Bring back the Early '60s Folk Music Scare!
Ah, it's not AC/DC.
The original and Talking Heads version is better.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kora_(instrument)
The kora is a 21-string lute-bridge-harp used extensively in West Africa.[1]
Description
A kora is a Mandinka harp built from a large calabash cut in half and covered with cow skin to make a resonator with a long hardwood neck. The skin is supported by two handles that run under it. It supports a notched double free-standing bridge. It doesn't fit into any one category of musical instruments, but rather several, and must be classified as a "double-bridge-harp-lute". The strings run in two divided ranks, making it a double harp. They do not end in a soundboard but are held in notches on a bridge, making it a bridge harp. They originate from a string arm or neck and cross a bridge directly supported by a resonating chamber, making it a lute too.
The sound of a kora resembles that of a harp, though when played in the traditional style, it bears a closer resemblance to flamenco and Delta blues guitar techniques of both hands to pluck the strings in polyrhythmic patterns (using the remaining fingers to secure the instrument by holding the hand posts on either side of the strings). Ostinato riffs ("Kumbengo") and improvised solo runs ("Birimintingo") are played at the same time by skilled players.

Did I miss something? Is there a movement to kill the METAL? Is this like the war on Christmas?
Sure are a lot of comfortable victims in this world today...
Anyway, rave on.
