Discussion on upcoming 'Other' thread for GMD Votes series

[The Ozzman]

I hope the only reason you're saying DP wouldnt be "allowed" in this list is because they were already included in one if the other lists.

This is for you all to iron out. I will make a judgment call if no one can make a decision at the time I make the thread.

RATM as metal, lolno

 

[HamburgerBoy]

More metal than Hate Forest

 

[Mort Divine]

oh fuck off with your anti-black metal inverti-boner

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Black metal was originally used to describe the music of Venom, Mercyful Fate, Slayer, etc, NOT so-called Norwegian "black metal". You're just as bad as the "industrial" fans you like to shit on (worse actually since the Coil dudes and others were coprophiliacs).

[crimsonfloyd]

I really don't see the argument for RATM not being metal.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

I wouldn't have had a problem with Hammerheart being posted in the trad thread. I guess it'd fit here, too.

That's where I posted it, but I think I was the only one. Either people thought it belonged elsewhere, or it's a lot less popular than I thought.

HB Facepalm Count: 1.

Bringing it back, since HB is to fail, as pigs are to mud.

Hate Forest is alright

So, I have the following to be included for this poll:

Sludge
Other doom metal (not trad or death/doom)
Progressive Metal
Euro Power Metal
Metalcore
Groove metal (?)
Industrial metal
Ambient, etc

Right?

 

[no country for old wainds]

not death/doom? is that part of the DM thread then?

Yes.

Right?

Folk metal
Goth metal
Post metal/ post black metal, etc.

 

[viewerfromnihil]

What about the Melvins? Would they qualify for this thread? They have quite a few border-line albums, but some are undeniably metal, i.e., Lysol.

 

[viewerfromnihil]

Bump.

Anybody still interested in this?

 

[Baroque]

Looks like I'm late to this one. I think Tool should definitely be included. If they're not gateway metal, what are they? Rush I don't agree with, prog hard rock for sure. Dream Theater should be included. And I agree with the stoner doom suggestion.

 

[Baroque]

Since I'm fairly new to the genre, I might not be able to discern between stoner doom and trad doom fully though. For example are we saying black sabbath mastery of reality is stoner or trad? Are we saying all electric wizard is stoner? Etc. some kind of guidelines would be nice.

 

[CF87]

Trad doom is metallic and stoner doom is not, but I am not by any means an expert on this stuff. I like Solitude Aeturnus a lot and a few other doom bands. Cathedral,Pentagram,Candlemass. I could probably just listen to Solitude Aeturnus and be fine with that.

 

[Krow]

Trad doom is metallic and stoner doom is not

What the fuck does this even mean?
