Nice list but Iron Maiden heavy? You should have a lighter category, because I'm pretty sure they're not heavy. Ligter Metal: Categorized by better vocalists and lighter distortion, guitar harmonies are key, less use of death and evil as a topic in songs. Key Bands: Iron Maiden, Helloween, Metallica, Thin Lizzy (not exactly metal, but they did contribute to the genre)
I'd say bands like Sabbath belong under "Heavy Metal". THIS IS NOT A CONFRONTATIONAL POST. Just suggestions :)

Heavy Metal bands arent exactly heavy, "Heavy Metal" bands are some of the first waves of metal bands to come out(which includes Maiden).

I guess that'd work as a category, but some are extremes on the spectrum, Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath could both be considered pioneers, but sound nothing alike

Maiden is NWOBHM.

^what?

[QUOTE=RivFader]^what?[/QUOTE]

New Wave of British Heavy Metal

[QUOTE=KingofDudes]New Wave of British Heavy Metal[/QUOTE] Ya, but not much else to add to that category so don't bother

[QUOTE=IronMaiden>You]Ya, but not much else to add to that category so don't bother[/QUOTE]

Do some research. There are more bands in the genre, but very few lasted very long.

[QUOTE=KingofDudes]Good Charlotte is pop-punk. But no need to get into that :p[/QUOTE]

good charlotte can't even be considered punk-pop....

lol

The problem with New Wave Of British Heavy Metal is that it's not new anymore. :) So most of the bands have been forgotten. But they're definitely out there. Saxon, Diamondhead....more I can't remember right now....

Shame the people naming it never thought at the time that it wouldn't be New forever.

Every time someone mentions Saxon, I have to go listen to Denim and Leather. I've done it twice tonight because of you.

[QUOTE=Kriz864]See, I disagree. Korn/modern metal and more traditional sounding metal are both types of escapism. Korn's music is more like "you have suffered and I have suffered, and we're together in this".[/QUOTE]
It's not escapism, it's saying the only thing you're worth anything for is at being worthless. Cobain may have said "It's ok to suck because that's the only thing I'm good at".

Stravinsky is older than shít (and deader than Baloff!), if anyone is familiar with the neo-classical composer.

does anyone know what the hell dark metal is?

Dark Metal is just a name that people refer to both Black and Death Metal in, It's pretty much just "satanic, evil stuff"

also, what is atmospheric metal?
