Why Are You Writing Like That, May I Ask?

He tried to make every word in caps and the forum changed it so only the first letters were capitalised(sp?)

Maybe he idolizes DBJ. He hasn't got it right though; not random enough.

thanks alot. i always wanted to know that. i was always offended when i heard black or death metal cuz i thought it was all about bashing god, but now i can listen to it musically and not be as offended. i know some bands like deicide and gorgoroth are extremely satanic but **** em i dont have to listen to them

I honestly can't see why, if you like the music, you would avoid the band just for their views anyway. But that's just me, I know there are people who do that.

i would never support a group of people that are against my beliefs and my god. thats why. im not saying i like black or death metal, but as a drummer, i really like the blastbeats, but i could never focus on that with the growls and satanic views right in my face. when i have been brought up to believe in everything that is good, and some band comes out with a song like **** your god or kill the christian, i get offended. only reason why im not inspired by those drummers.

Not all black and death metal are like this. Look for it. However its a shame to lose all the good music because of this. Keep in mind that it's just an immature way to "shock"

I listen to bands that go against my beliefs, their beliefs don't really bother me its all about the music for me.

Thats why I listen to bands like dub buk and arghoslent because I enjoy the music not that I agree with what they talk about.

Well its nice that you've completely pidgeon holed any metal artist into a genre, by a paragraph definition of the bands, they gotta love that.

Who cares what genre, or who they "worship" and their "beliefs" , you cant say "well these people bands are this genre...they typically worship satan and sometimes kill minorities" how do you know all this? just from listening?

im telling you right now bands hate being put into a genre, its like a border that throughout their career they must stay in. all those genres are stupid anyway, they dont mean anything, if you like the music, that all that matters.

Was there any point in splitting that across two posts? Genres are useful - this isn't a case of pigeonholing every band, it's a way to describe music to people that you think might be interested. And since when is it "a border that they must stay in"?

how about Love Metal? that in here anywhere? apparently that's what HIM classify themselves as.
whatever metal is metal is metal is metal

love metal is something they made up, and its not much of a genre since they are the only ones in it.

****ty whining "metal"

[QUOTE=ludz]Great List, But:

I think there should be definitions for the "cores". Hardcore, Metalcore etc.

I think, and many people will agree with me, that Nu-Metal should be called something else. I like Crossover. And System of a Down shouldn't be on that list. Not by a long shot. People only call them Nu-Metal because they came out the same time as all those other bands. Except for the down-tuned guitars they don't fit into that group.[/QUOTE]


I agree, System Of A Down is most definitely not nu-metal. They need their own category of metal, since no other band can possibly equal them.

^
why has this category to be metal? They are alternative with pseudo metal elements like all nu "metal" groups.

nu-metal, deal with it, I do.

im not saying everyone in these genres is a satanist or racist. but the ones that are offend me. some bands are very open about there beliefs of satan which makes me want to avoid them. its just my opinion

[QUOTE=DKmode]when i have been brought up to believe in everything that is good,[/QUOTE]

Well, I ask you this, why not think about someone elses beliefs. Just because you were brought up one way, doesn't mean they are correct, you know.

i understand that totally. if i were preaching the bible to them, i wouldnt expect them to listen or care. just like i dont listen when they talk about satan. im not saying my beliefs are the only ones, but there mine and all that i understand, so im going to listen to stuff that deals with the same stuff. its not like i listen to christian rock, but nothing that idolizes satan certainly.

[QUOTE=axeslinga_32]MetalCore:

a subgenre of hardcore (the most brutal from of punk), vocals are screamed and music is fast and simple. Usually very Metal-ish riffs and breakdowns sometimes containing pinch harmonics, with the structure of hardcore songs. Bands include Atreyu, early Avenged Sevenfold, from autumn to ashes, Poison the well.[/QUOTE]

ok, so what's the dillinger escape plan??? ive always thought of them as Metal Core but by that definition they are definetly not...

in most of their songs, the vocals are screamed but there is certainly melody by Mike Patton in the Irony is a Dead Scene EP, and the newest, Miss Machine with new vocalist Greg Puciato.

and i dare you to say that theyre music is simple... its pretty much anything but if you've ever listened to their bassist, and even their guitarist.

they also have been said to be "Math Metal" because of their difficult riffs and insane play/stop timing which is close to impossible to immitate.

Ive heard them called math metal and/or Grindcore

sorry for double post....

System of a Down is very original but it is also DEFINETLY nu-metal. and i would certainly have to disagree with you when you say "since no other band can possible equal them."

[QUOTE=KingofDudes]Ive heard them called math metal and/or Grindcore[/QUOTE]

indeed, math metal... but is that their own category? if not, then who else possibly fits it... ?

Converge, Botch, maybe Keelhaul.

math metal are bands that have alot of hectic changes in time signature(ironic huh?)Im sure Meshuggah applies to this genre, that about all i know :thumb:
