Sure, there are recommendations for the obvious popular bands, but I've also gotten ones for bands I'd never heard of before, like Heptaedium, Mist of Misery, Ashbringer, Vector of Underground and Kyy. Not all of it is good, but it is definitely interesting. I think it's important to take an active role and explore related artists, instead of only seeing the recommendation playlists. Outside of Spotify, I follow Toilet ov Hell and my friends' recommendations.
