04.05.23 | Hey metalheads I know nothing about this genre
What should we be tagging |
ArsMoriendi
04.05.23 | Also which tags should be dropped for when I inevitably ask Sowing to delete tags |

04.05.23 | "Also which tags should be dropped for when I inevitably ask Sowing to delete tags"
the standard "metal" tag is redundant for all these bands now that groove metal is a thing imo
if/when "alt metal" gets added the "metal" tag can prob be removed entirely |
budgie
04.05.23 | do you ppl think groove metal is an actual genre? |
ArsMoriendi
04.05.23 | LOOK if people wanna call Pantera-core groove metal, who am I to argue? |
AlexKzillion
04.06.23 | as someone who thinks djent is a genre i have no choice but to plead the fifth |
Emim
04.06.23 | idk probably life of agony |
MoM
04.06.23 | Groove metal is one of those genres where i can barely name any bands but never find a reason to look up more |
ArsMoriendi
04.06.23 | Damn people dragging this genre |
Muzz79
04.06.23 | Chimaira, Devildriver, Gojira, Metallica (Justice and black album), Soulfly, Orbit Culture, Biohazard, Tersivel |
ArsMoriendi
04.06.23 | Even if those 2 albums are groove, I think Sputnik would have me shot if I got Metallica tagged as groove metal. Will add the rest though! |
Emim
04.06.23 | "Groove metal is one of those genres where i can barely name any bands but never find a reason to look up more"
check life of agony |
Muzz79
04.06.23 | God Forbid as well. The mid 2000's was its peak. I'd also put Hatebreed as groove metal |
MoM
04.06.23 | Life of Agony goin on the list |
Emim
04.06.23 | Yeah god forbid was solid too. Feel like a lot of it got labeled as post thrash in the 00s |
random
04.06.23 | Life of Agony-River Runs Red
This list is taking me back to my teenage years. I think I want gas station nachos with that fake Cheese Whiz shit now… and also, watch Beavis and Butt-Head. |
TheSonomaDude
04.06.23 | Groove metal is such a vague non-term. So any metal that’s groovy? 90% of death metal is groovy. Death and cryptopsy have some insanely sick grooves. Lamb of god are considered a huge groove metal pioneer but i dont see how they’re any different from something like shadows fall.
But do check Life Of Agony - River Runs Red. That is a solid 4.9/5 |
AlexKzillion
04.06.23 | think its more era descriptor than genre... as it doesn't really "mean" anything besides like 90s metal / 90s sounding metal, or at least that's what I always think when I hear the term |
ArsMoriendi
04.06.23 | To be reductive, I thought groove metal was basically “slow rhythmic trash metal” |
budgie
04.06.23 | WHY DO YOU SAY TRASH?
ITS THRASH

04.06.23 | I feel that's fairly accurate tbh, Ars |
ArsMoriendi
04.06.23 | Whoops budgie I made a typo sorry |
ArsMoriendi
04.06.23 | Updated the list though |
budgie
04.06.23 | un for givable

Kompys2000
04.06.23 | "90% of death metal is groovy"
Press X to doubt |
Kompys2000
04.06.23 | Mx gonna live to regret letting me tag anything I want as groove metal fsfs |
ArsMoriendi
04.06.23 | Pls help actually tag stuff accurately Kompys and ill love you |
BitterJalapenoJr
04.06.23 | I'd say Fight (Rob Halford) qualify as groove metal - could delete the generic "metal" tag
https://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands/Fight/13934/ |
ArsMoriendi
04.07.23 | Okay coool, what else guys? |
BitterJalapenoJr
04.07.23 | Five Finger Death Punch
Damageplan |
BitterJalapenoJr
04.07.23 | Also, Exhorder might be worth a shout, initially thrash but their 2019 release is definitely within the groove metal camp. |
budgie
04.07.23 | CCR and frank zappa are groove metal. & prob some david bowie albums qualify. also mr bungle IMO and massive attack and led zeppelin basically invented proto groove metal so add them a well |
ArsMoriendi
04.07.23 | Thank god none of that’s true |
budgie
04.07.23 | yeah well neither is CHAOS A.D. being groove metal you fart burglering son of a bitch |
ArsMoriendi
04.07.23 | According to RYM, 239 Sepulatura fans voted that as it’s top genre
Pretty sure it’s one of the albums that helped define the genre |
budgie
04.07.23 | how can you be pretty sure ars youre the last person on this website who can be pretty sure about anything metal. RYM is a concentration of crowd-sourced mental illness that shouldnt be used as a reference for fuck |
ArsMoriendi
04.07.23 | Make an actual case for why it’s not
Like what is groove metal in your definition exactly? |
budgie
04.07.23 | theres not a well enough defined delineation of style to propose groove metal as a genre, and the loose delineation thats there doesnt apply to chaos ad anyway |
JohnnyoftheWell
04.07.23 | groove metal kinda sucks
chaos ad sucks
we good |
ArsMoriendi
04.07.23 | I mean I didn’t add the tag, just trying to make use of it
So Choas AD doesn’t have elements of slowed down syncopated thrash? |
ArsMoriendi
04.07.23 | Johnny make the tag power electronics thread so we can finish this tag fest and then tell MX to delete Viking metal, instrumental rock, and …fucking hair metal |
ToSmokMuzyki
04.07.23 | i need to make a viking metal alt |
JohnnyoftheWell
04.07.23 | Ugh can we get the power electronics tag deleted too, we only just got Noise and do not need that conflation at this point or maybe ever |
ArsMoriendi
04.07.23 | Idk
Power electronics is like tinnitus as music right… maybe it should go haha
Also pls help tag these so I don’t bombard Sowing with too many |
budgie
04.07.23 | ars "its slower sometimes" doesnt make a genre |
ArsMoriendi
04.07.23 | Idk man isn’t that kinda what slowcore is. Indie rock but slower |
budgie
04.07.23 | stop |
TheSonomaDude
04.07.23 | blackened pirate bluegrass next |
ArsMoriendi
04.10.23 | A few of these could use more tagging
Might go to Sowing for some of these tomorrow, but rather that list be short |
parksungjoon
04.20.23 | 18 and 21 are hard to tag right
in theory they come from hardcore/metalcore but the sonics of the music are indeed similar to chuggalug groove metal |
