Hello, everyone. I'm a 34 y/o metalhead, who's slowly getting back into the swing of things, as far as my favourite genres of electronic music are concerned. I made a similar post in r/dubstep and got exactly what i wanted - i filled some of my knowledge blanks (since i somewhat quit the genre at some point within the past 10-15 years, same goes for DnB, honestly) and made a bunch of new discoveries that enriched my experience.

I'd argue that Drum and Bass is even more special to me, because it's my first time falling in love with electronic music (late 90's to mid 00's, i'd say). For someone, who predominantly listens to metal for as long as i can remember myself, most of EDM sounded too lovey-dovey for my taste (and that's fine - more power to you, if you're into it), which naturally made me gravitate towards DnB and Dubstep (even though both have softer subgenres within them).

Much time has passed, but i realized that this is definitely not a "phase" and i'm eager to submerge myself into this music once again. There's probably a lot that i don't know though, since, well, much time has passed. So, help the brother out, as they say.

P.S : oh, yes, if any of you can point me in the direction of some sites, dedicated to subgenres of DnB and artists that perform them - please, let me know. We, metalheads, have it easy these days with databases like Metal Archives/Metalstorm. It's a shame that other types of music don't get nearly enough coverage on the web... or do they ?

Good day/evening/whatever time it is for you currently. I am a 34 y/o metalhead, who's been itching to get back into DnB and dubstep since i recently unearthed some of my older records and mp3s.

Usually, i seldom touch bases with electronic music - in my experience, i find a good chunk of it too upbeat and simplistic (nothing wrong with those qualities, it's just not the type of energy i seek). Dubstep, however, always hits the spot in that department (even the softer types of it) and when it got viral during mid-to-late odds - i was fascinated by it and didn't hate it at all.

While my metal journey is, pretty much, lifelong, i parted ways with dubstep at some point within the last decade and now i'm realizing, how much i missed it. It would be much appreciated, if anyone could give me some essentials both current and yesteryear, so that i could dive into the artists' discography.

One more thing : to my knowledge (and chagrin) there are still no dedicated and widespread resources that cover dubstep, much like Metal Archives or Metalstorm cover metal. But if any of you know about sites/databases like that - i would be very grateful. Thanks for your time in advance.
