Metal Insider’s Top 5 is a column where we count down the top five of…well basically anything.

Until recently, the only way to interact with your favorite musicians was to see them in concert or read about them in magazines. The internet changed everything, and now instead of communicating with fans via publicists, a majority of bands talk to their fans directly through social media. And while there are still some artists whose Facebook/Twitter/Instagram accounts are just another impersonal way to promote themselves, many more go out of their way to make their social media compelling, revealing and a reflection of themselves. With that in mind, this week’s top five (with a few honorable mentions), is a list of people that if you’re not already following online, you probably should be.
