Minus Opeth? U cray.

But you're right about the rest.

opeth isn't death metal bro

Album Rating: 4.5

death metal verges on being dm..but i'd call em death rock lol

its progressive metal with growls/progressive rock

Album Rating: 4.5

If we're still talking about Opeth they're primarily a prog metal/prog rock band, but obviously a lot of their albums would be considered prog death metal and even black metal on the first 3 albums.



Wouldn't classify them as a dm band though.

"Death rock" ARGH

I hate this whole ocd-genre-tagging bullshit.

"death metal verges on being dm..but i'd call em death rock lol"

What?

I'd call him death-post-core-methul-rock-folk.

I'm sorry you feel that way.

snox is worse than people making dumb jokes like that which are worse than real genre-stringency

there's like 15 actually valid subgenres of metal get over yourself

i meant to write 10 whoops

black
thrash
prog
post
doom
death
heavy (generic term)
alt

and maybe two of your choice

tbh i don't care about this.

I just don't know why people need to put everything in a box. I think the world would be entirely fine without 28 metal subgenres.

yes

but it is helpful to describe the music, and there's actually a pretty good variety in song-stucture in style among metal bands. iron maiden and immolation are both metal bands but really don't sound anything alike

I'd never argue the fact that there is a lot of diversity to be found in metal (or any other genre but the sub-genre thing is very developed in metal) but I think putting everything into it's own box is just unnecessary. Just listen to this album and decide if you like it.

A few broad genres would be more than enough.

idk man you stick to your 4-5 genres and i'll keep my 8

what about power metal or folk metal or speed metal or sludge metal
