great list way to put the time in to the best genre of music

[QUOTE=RivFader]Edguy's Hellfire Club is metal or power metal?[/QUOTE]

Metalarchives has it them listed as power metal, but I have never heard them so Im not too sure.

From what I've heard of Edguy, they're definitely Power Metal.

[QUOTE=Iai]From what I've heard of Edguy, they're definitely Power Metal.[/QUOTE]

I second that.

wow... impressive.
and to anyone who is interested in more info like this i really suggest picking up the book: The History of Heavy Metal

You should have seen it today. My freind was telling me that slipknot was death metal...this set him straight

[QUOTE=The Digital Pimp]Yeah they aren't very creative, but I've seen some worse 'just the band performing' music videos (especially down here in New Zealand where budgets are very very thin for new bands), at least Finger use some interesting sets and camera angles/visual effects.

The absolute worst music vids are ones of a band playing in concert, while the CD-quality single plays over it. *shiver*[/QUOTE]

I agree with this, however, Finger Eleven really isn't metal in general. They have some songs like nu-metal, but overall they're really just plain rock. Basically, i think they have a pretty set style, and then they have these few random songs that don't fit with the rest of it. like one thing has weird bongo-drums and it's all really soft. And then they have Drag You Down where he goes kinda crazy, and such, with the weird lyrics.
I dunno.

P.S. Yeah, I HATE those videos! they just have the band playing in concert and that's it. Ugh.
I agree, finger eleven music videos aren't very creative but, once again, i'm agreeing, they have neat camera angles and that.

Grindcore is very beautiful, makes me cum my pants.

Dude, I'm a bit unsatisfied with your definition of black metal. I got myself into black metal mainly because of the brutal blasting and riffing of bands like Mayhem... and you said blast beats are not very utilized in bm or something like that. In my opinion bm is a more extreme and developed form of extreme music than death metal. A lot of death metal is stuck with simpler and very familiar riffing/drumming with the exception of a few bands like Hate Eternal. Even if the death or grind bands blast, they dont sound as brutal as bm blasting. The diffenence is that the death bands like to emphasize the low end alot in vocals and instrumentwise resulting in a cartoonish brutality. On the other hand, bm bands dont boost the low end in their records and dont play around with the efxs or the production that much.

Are you retarded? Black Metal bands play around with the production alot more than Death Metal, their stuff sounds like it was recorded on a telephone answering machine.

Don't get me wrong, I like black metal, but still. Have some sense.

I third it

What sort of bm bands are you talking about. Are you saying they delibrately play around with production just for the sake of atmosphere(this might be true for Emperor)? I thought they(mayhem, darkthrone etc) are just being low budget.

[Quote]Are you retarded? Black Metal bands play around with the production alot more than Death Metal, their stuff sounds like it was recorded on a telephone answering machine.[/quote]

Having just listened to Under A Funeral Moon by Darkthrone for the first time.....quoted for truth. :)

Budget, shmudget. They purposely eliminate the bottom end.

And yeah Iai, that has probably the worst/rawest production of any band I've ever heard, maybe except for Nunslaughter or Demoncy.

It's certainly the rawest I've heard. St. Anger probably takes the award for worst.

Still, quality stuff though. (Darkthrone, not Metallica)

Emperor production is great imo, having the vocals in the backround and making them blend in like another instrument. Do Darkthrone even have bass and if so does Nocturno Culto play it?

by he way metallica under thrash metal, its kill em all- justice

any1 listen 2 into eternity?

what kind of metal besides progressive would you categorize opeth as?

Death/black? I'm not really certain as I've heard both. I need to get a full album before I can make a call.

I'd say they lean more towards Death Metal, due to the growls.

Opeth? I'd call them somewhat melodic death.

This IS and also NOT SO nice list:

PROZ: Very vivid description of genres' various differences with many examples given, plus in depth explanation thats dijestable to a musician as well as any average joe who just listens to any of these genres of metal.

CONZ: The list is very incomplete. Even though its updated, there's a lot thats missing that doesn't fit into any of these categories.

Wha....?



Man, sometimes I wonder if there should be an English test before you can join MX. Not just this guy, n00bs in general.

Man that was a great list ... hmmm .... I don't think I really have anything intelligent to add to the discussion ...

wheather you no it or not legions you confirmed Children of Bodom to be melodic death when you called Kalmah and Norther melodic death. I guess you've settle that debate.

They're power metal.
*Sighs and asks himself how many times he has said that*

I'm sorry that my comments went totally over your head. Maybe you cant smoke some more crack or take acid in higher doses so you could dissolve the rest of your brain cells. Obviously you have no other use for them...besides ignorance. :smoke: :thumb:

I suggest ritalin.

Come back when you grow some pubes or can come up with a decent, witty retort. You know, whichever occurs first.
