ArsMoriendi: TAG Groove Metal

ArsMoriendi 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
AlexKzillion 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
Emim 04.06.23	m/
Emim 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
