kahljorn I was listening to dark side of the spoon earlier, not a bad album. I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH I WISH I COULD TAKE YOU TO THE BETTY FORD CLINIC WITH ME.

I've heard melvins could be considered industrial. Good ol' melvins.

Big Papa Goat Rage against the Machine is hardly metal. And Tool is a damn sight away from metal. This is important to remember.

Everything Sucks Why has no-one mentioned Rage Against the Machine? I'm no metal-head, but they're definatly my fav. metal band. I don't think Tool has been mentioned either, they rock too

farbour Most industrial isn't really even metal. Some bands just use metal guitar riffs to add a more menacing tone to their music(Ministry, Nitzer ebb and Front Line Assemby for example)
And, while all grind groups can be considered noise, not all noise groups can be considered grind.
(Zeni Geva could be considered grind; but you couldn't with good conscience call Pachinko grind)

and you forgot
stoner Rock:see also doom

Ninjavenom I honestly can't give you definitions to each, just good examples to compare each to. I don't know enough about metal to be able to scientifically explain what composes each genre, you'll have to wait for Helm for that.

Thrash: Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Sepultura, and Anthrax. Sepultura andMetallica's first few albums and Anthrax pre-Public Enemy stuff would be considered thrash, but none of their latter work. See also: S.O.D., M.O.D., Exodus, Nuclear Assault, Psychotic Waltz (if you can obtain something of good sound quality), Sentenced, and Sodom.

Death: Death, Morbid Angel, Deicide and Obituary are the Florida Four of this style. See also: Dismember, Entombed, Posessed, Brujeria, Cannibal Corpse, Blood, Exhumed, Pungent Stench, Autopsy, Bloodbath, and Nile.

Black: Black Metal's not really my forté, so i don't know anything about its founding fathers. Good bands that i know of include In The Woods..., ...And Oceans, Arcturus, Burzum, Antaeus, Anaal Nathrakh, and Angel Corpse. I've been told that At the Gates are Death and Melodic Death and all that shit, but i think they remind me more of BM than anything else. One of those genre-benders, methinks.

Doom: Traces of Sabbath can be seen in all of these bands. Sabbath and Pentagram might be seen as two founders of this genre. Also try Candlemass, My Dying Bride, Anathema, Bongzilla, Sloth, Cathedral, Eyehategod and Iron Monkey.

Grind: Carcass and Napalm Death are revered on this scene, with Terrorizer and Agathocles also being oldsies. New bands include Anal Cunt, Gerogerigegege, Nasum, Bolt Thrower, Pig Destroyer, Brutal Truth, Asshole Parade, Cattle Decapitation, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, and Phobia.

Power: Don't know about the founders of this either, but it's like modern Glam Metal. Check out Rhapsody, Sonata Arctica, Stratovarius, Avantasia, and Manowar.

Sludge: See Doom.

Gore: See Death, add very descriptive lyrics about killing people.

Industrial: I don't know much about it, nor do i care to know. Fear Factory are the only band in this genre that i know.

Prog Metal: I avoid it.

Noise: Another word for Grind. They're the same thing.

Heavy Metal: Old shit with clean vocals. Judas Priest and Iron Maiden are the only ones i can think of. I don't care for either of them.

Hair: All the cheesy 80's shit. Twisted Sister and Manowar are the shining examples here.

farbour Perndog, try doing a style search at allmusic.com
Aug 6th, 2003 02:38 AM
Perndog Symphony X. And Finntroll.

Oh, and can someone explain some of these classifications to me? For one, I see Cynic in the same post under both Progressive Rock and Progressive Metal. I get Heavy Metal and Black Metal (being a fan of both), but what's the difference between Thrash and Power Metal? Death and Doom metal? Noise, Grind, Industrial?
Aug 6th, 2003 02:22 AM
farbour alternativetentacles.com should have what you're looking for.
Aug 5th, 2003 10:02 PM
DecapitatedHate Do you have a link to where I may be able to d/l a track from them? I only ask because I can't find them on kazaa.
Aug 5th, 2003 09:32 PM
farbour Nobody mentioned Zeni Geva? Long live samurai grindcore!

Metallica Old Stuff

I think it goes without saying that ALL Metallica albums from Load onwards suck.

Grim Symphony Personally, I love metal, all kinds, all the time.
Anorexia Nervosa, Fog, Eclipse Eternal, Amon Amoarth, Iced Earth, Enslaved, Macabre, Hypocricy, Pain, Fantomas, In Flames (just saw them last night), Arch Enemy, Mortiis, Burzum, old Mayhem (with Dead), Death, Witchery, old Dimmu Borgir, Summoning, Nile, Immortal, Nevermore, and Enslavement of Beauty.

kahljorn Try Ephel Duath, they are my favorite Jazz Metal band. The painter one. I hate to spam it so, I love them though. With whipcream.

Go now.

I have Focus.

But you're talking about Atheist. I have no fucking clue how anyone could consider atheist Jazzetal. I'm listening to t hem now, trying to get the jazzetal vibe, it's not coming. Skittles are tasty, but not the tropical ones, they make me think of some crappy fruity liquor, it makes me vomit twice, then again in some whore's hair.

I think you think their bass solos are jazzy.
Jun 26th, 2003 07:04 PM
Helm Most of their stuff sounds the same. Unquestionable is their best, followed by Elements. Sounds like jazzy death metal to me.
Jun 24th, 2003 08:53 PM
kahljorn SLIPKNOT AND LINKIN PARK LEET UBER METAL, LEET UBER. DID I MENTION LEET UBER.

And somebody who listens to Cynic, the lounge music of Metal try aghora, same idea, just with a chick on mic.
Jun 17th, 2003 02:46 PM
Ninjavenom Yeah, Jazz Death does sound more fitting, but what i've heard off of Unquestionable Presence makes me think of thrash. I've heard nothing else of theirs, so i can see where my comment might looks ridiculous. Perhaps i should listen to some of their other stuff?
Jun 17th, 2003 12:40 PM
Helm I did not forget Dream Theater. I just don't like them that much. Not that they suck, but they're not anything special in my oppinion.

And Atheist, if not progressive can be said to be Jazz Death. Certainly not Thrash.
